Class CertificateHolder

  • java.lang.Object
    • com.aspose.words.CertificateHolder
public class CertificateHolder 
extends java.lang.Object

Represents a holder of X509Certificate2 instance.

CertificateHolder can be created by static factory methods only. It contains an instance of X509Certificate2 which is used to introduce private, public keys and certificate chains into the system. This class is applied in DigitalSignatureUtil and PdfDigitalSignatureDetails instead of obsolete methods with X509Certificate2 as parameters.

Example:

Shows how to sign encrypted document file.
// Create an X.509 certificate from a PKCS#12 store, which should contain a private key.
CertificateHolder certificateHolder = CertificateHolder.create(getMyDir() + "morzal.pfx", "aw");

// Create a comment, date, and decryption password which will be applied with our new digital signature.
SignOptions signOptions = new SignOptions();
{
signOptions.setComments("Comment");
    signOptions.setSignTime(new Date());
signOptions.setDecryptionPassword("docPassword");
}

// Set a local system filename for the unsigned input document, and an output filename for its new digitally signed copy.
String inputFileName = getMyDir() + "Encrypted.docx";
String outputFileName = getArtifactsDir() + "DigitalSignatureUtil.DecryptionPassword.docx";

DigitalSignatureUtil.sign(inputFileName, outputFileName, certificateHolder, signOptions);

Example:

Shows how to digitally sign documents.
// Create an X.509 certificate from a PKCS#12 store, which should contain a private key.
    CertificateHolder certificateHolder = CertificateHolder.create(getMyDir() + "morzal.pfx", "aw");

    // Create a comment and date which will be applied with our new digital signature.
    SignOptions signOptions = new SignOptions();
    {
        signOptions.setComments("My comment"); 
        signOptions.setSignTime(new Date());
    }

    // Take an unsigned document from the local file system via a file stream,
    // then create a signed copy of it determined by the filename of the output file stream.
    InputStream streamIn = new FileInputStream(getMyDir() + "Document.docx");
    try
    {
        OutputStream streamOut = new FileOutputStream(getArtifactsDir() + "DigitalSignatureUtil.SignDocument.docx");
        try
        {
            DigitalSignatureUtil.sign(streamIn, streamOut, certificateHolder, signOptions);
}
        finally { if (streamOut != null) streamOut.close(); }
}
    finally { if (streamIn != null) streamIn.close(); }

Example:

Demonstrates how to add new signature line to the document and sign it with personal signature using SignatureLineId.

        System.out.println("Document successfully signed!");
    } else {
        System.out.println("Sign person does not exist, please check your parameters.");
    }
