Re: [Pki-devel] [Pki-users] How to generate the certificate in pkcs #12 format using Dogtag PKI
Hi Sarath,
I think a X509 Certificate with "digital signature" key usage would
suffice based on what I can tell:
- https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/certificate-based-signatures.html
- https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5280#section-4.2.1.3
-
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_certificate_system/...
Per a digicert article on the subject, you might want timestamping as
an extended key usage as well:
- https://www.digicert.com/document-signing/how-to-sign-a-pdf.htm
-
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_certificate_system/...
Details are kinda sparse about what else you'd need, or if those
are sufficient. You might try reading Section 12.7.4.5 "Signature
Fields", Section 12.8 "Digital Signatures", and in particular,
Section 12.8.3.3 "PKCS#7 Signatures as used in ISO 32000" of the
PDF 1.7 specification for more information:
- https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf
You'd probably want to create a certificate profile with this
information at any rate:
-
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_certificate_system/...
Hope that helps,
- Alex

using Dogtag PKI
HI Fraser,
I have use case like need to certify the PDF document with "handwritten
user signature with associated certificate and it should be validate
with the password" ??
How can we achieve this using Dogtag PKI??
Thanks,
Sharath
