PDF Sign Validator is a simple wrapper to validate a PDF signature against a public key.
After spending an entire day looking for a similar solution I gave up and ended up building a solution by myself with the help of my best friend, John Stack Overflow.
This is nothing more than just a wrapper of real cryptographic functions from Sop\ANS1 and Sop\X509 repositories.
Just require this package in your project using Composer:
composer require lufox11/pdf-sign-validator
Methods you may'd like to use:
signCount: Returns the amount of signatures found in file.
signIsValid: Validates that the file signature corresponds to the issuer's root PEM certificate.
certIsValid: Validates that the subject certificate was issued by the issuer certificate.
signMatchSubject: Validates that the certificate (extracted from the signature) match the subject's PEM certificate.
infoFromPDF: Reads an attached signature to a PDF file and returns the info inside.
infoFromPEM: Reads a certificate in PEM format and returns the info inside.
A real use case (Argentina):
- Sign a PDF file through Firmar.gob.ar and download the file (
signed.pdf
). - Download the issuer's root certificate (
issuer.cer
). - Download your public certificate (
subject.cer
).
use LufoX11\PdfSignValidator\PdfSignValidator;
/**
* signed.pdf: Path to the signed PDF file.
* issuer.cer: Path to the public key file (RSA PUBLIC KEY) of the issuer.
* subject.cer: Path to the public key file (RSA PUBLIC KEY) of the subject.
*/
$amountOfSignatures = PdfSignValidator::signCount('signed.pdf');
$certificateIsValid = PdfSignValidator::certIsValid('subject.cer', 'issuer.cer');
$certificateData = PdfSignValidator::infoFromPEM('certificate.cer');
$certificateData = PdfSignValidator::infoFromPDF('signed.pdf');
// Single signature in PDF file
$signatureIsValid = PdfSignValidator::signIsValid('signed.pdf', 'issuer.cer');
$certificateMatchSubject = PdfSignValidator::signMatchSubject('signed.pdf', 'subject.cer');
// Multiple signatures in PDF file
// You can specify the signature to work with in dot notation
$signatureIsValid = PdfSignValidator::signIsValid('signed.pdf', 'issuer.cer', [ 'subject.common_name' => 'Lionel Messi' ]);
$certificateMatchSubject = PdfSignValidator::signMatchSubject('signed.pdf', 'subject.cer', [ 'issuer.common_name' => 'Magnus Carlsen' ]);
