Problems Creating the Digital Signature

Hello,
I'm using php 5.2.4-3, apache 2.2.8-1 on Fedora 8 and I'm trying to test out my authorization to iTunes U but I'm having difficulty creating the digital signature.
Does anyone know of any PHP implementation/script that I can use to create the digital signature?
And I don't quite understand the 3rd step "Convert the HMAC-SHA256 output value into a 64-character hexadecimal representation". Does this mean chopping off the right most characters till it's 64 characters?
Thanks for any assistance.

Hi, Could you please post the php file you've found? I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.

Acrobat Standard 8 - why is the digital signature not responding?

Using Acrobat version 8 and it is fully updated.
When I try to insert a digital signature, it freezes and when I eventually close the digital signature window, it says it is not responding and the program shuts down.
This is using a document that I use frequently and only recently started having problems with the digital signature.
Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
Thank you!

Hi,
I'd like to clarify some points. You use a digital ID to create a digital signature, not unlike how you use a pen to create (what we refer to as) a wet ink signature. When it comes to applying a digital signature to a document, you can sign just about any blob of electronic data. You can sign your e-mail or a MS Word document as well as a PDF file. The signature itself lives either in the document (that's how Acrobat does it when signing a PDF file), or it can be an external attachment (that's what the smime.p7s file is you might see attached to some e-mail messages).
Here is where I'm a bit confused. How many digital IDs do you have access to? If you only have one, does it cause Acrobat to lock up when signing a specific PDF file or when you try to sign any PDF file? Same question if you have more than one digital ID available to sign with, they all cause Acrobat to lock you when signing just one specifc file or any file? When you try to sign, are you signing an existing signature field, or are you creating a signature on the fly, be it either visible or invisible? If it is just one file that is causing the problems then that file is probably corrupt. If it's any file then it is a more systemic problem and I don't have an off the shelf answer for you.

Acrobat 9 Standard and the Digital Signature usage right

Acrobat 9 Standard is apparently able to apply certain usage rights to a document. I am trying to confirm whether or not the digital signature usage right is included. The
Acrobat 9 product comparison seems to indicate it is not, but the online help implies that it is.
Can someone with Acrobat 9 Standard confirm this for me by testing a document that you've enabled for use with Reader by attempting to sign a digital signature field with Reader?
George

In the office area, the Pro version might be good to have for the forms and other features. For the general library, Reader is probably adequate. Actually allowing PDF creation on public machines can be an issue. In a small libary system, Acrobat might be reasonable where you do not have to deal with a large, diverse population. However, for basic PDF creation, only Std is needed. Having both AA8 and AA9 on the same machine can lead to problems. However, if you remove one, you will likely have to repair the other.
The problem with older versions is that they may not properly read some of the newer PDFs that might be downloaded. For the latter, you could install the latest version of Reader, but you need to be aware that you may have to deal with issues of right clicking (windows) on a file and selecting which application to open a PDF with. For forms and some editing, the Pro version would be good to have. You also have PDF Optimize and PreFlight with the Pro version that generally are not including in the Std version.
To help compatibility with the files you create, you can select Start>Printers>Adobe PDF preferences (right click on printer). In the settings tab>Default settings> select at least Std or better Press or Print and then push edit. Under the general tab select the compatibility and set it to AA8 so that every thing is compatibile with the oldest version of Acrobat you have.
If you have more than one computer in the office, you might consider having AA8 on one and AA9 on the other. Do check and be sure you have licenses for whatever you have and that someone has not come in and installed a pirated version. Also be sure you keep the original CDs and licenses (or if they were downloaded, burn the downloaded version to a CD as an archive and write the SN on the label).
Now that I have confused you, are there more questions?

How do I customize the Digital Signature Reasons dropdown list?

I added a Digital Signature field to a pdf file, then added an Action to the field properties for "Mouse Down" to run a JavaScript.
I am using Acrobat Pro XI.
Here is the Javascript:
// Obtain the signature field object:
var f = this.getField("SigField");
app.alert("ALERT...ALERT...ALERT...")
f.signatureSetSeedValue(
{ reasons: ["Reason1", "Reason2"],
flags: 8
I included the alert statement just to see if the JavaScript is being executed, and it is. The alert is displayed. But, the Reasons field still contains all the default values; it does not contain the specified values ("Reason1", "Reason2"). The name of the digital signature field is "SigField".
Why does this JavaScript not work?
Thank you to anyone who can solve this problem!

It's not clear to me what you're trying to accomplish. If you get rid of your digital ID you will still be prompted to create/add one when you need to sign a form, which you say you still need to do? Do you really just want to e-sign (hand-drawn signature, or stamp) instead of digitally sign? Do the forms you're using have digital signature fields?

Some questions concerning the digital signature on an interactive form

I've just finished an interactive Advertising Contract with 128-bit encryption that will enable recipients to submit CC info safely to our publishing firm. Even though form fields at the top allow typing the name of an authorized person, the signature line at the bottom is presenting problems because in order for anyone to sign, they need a digital signature.
(1) Is this necessary? If so, is there any way of automating it for clients so they don't have to go through the process of creating one?
(2) How do I create a digital signature for my partner and have the SUBMIT button on the form channel the returns to his email address instead of mine (which it is doing because of another interactive form I created in which I was the point person for returns)? I couldn't find anything in the "properties" of the OK button that allowed me to enter an email address.
Thank you so much for your help here. This is time-sensitive, as we need to get the package out ASAP.

1. If you require a digital signature, then setting up a digital ID is necessary in order to sign a digital signature field. So the question is really more fundamental: Do you require that people sign the form with a digital signature? If you say yes, what are the reasons?
2. If you are using the distribution process in Acrobat so thatt you can collect the form data in a responses file, you should distribute the form using the other person's machine that has Acrobat installed on it.
If you don't want to do this and only want to collect the returned documents without placing the data in a responses file, you can set up your own submit button using any email address you want and not use the distribution process. You will have to Reader-enable the document and then email or otherwise get it to the users. How you set up the submit button depends on how you want it to work exactly, and which version of Acrobat you're using. More information can be found here: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/form-submit-e-mail-demystified
If you still want to go through the distribution process and want to change the email address that it uses, you can change it in: Edit > References > Identity > Email Address
You'll then have to redistribute the form using a copy of the form as it existed prior to your first distribution. The responses file will be on your machine.

How do I create a digital signature on a TCP or a UDP flow?

I am trying to convert samples of a voice signal, which is intercepted from the microphone, into fixed length digital signature bytes (using Hash, or) and attach these fixed length bytes to a communication session between two terminals (UDP or TCP "HTTP"). The other receving end should be able to identify the person at the sending side.
Any thoughts how I could do this?
Any help is most appreciated.
Sam

Sam,
If you have the Sound and Vibration toolkit it may make some things easier for you regarding the voice-recording aspect, but if you aren't recording and playing back the actual sounds, just using this for detection and digital signatures, you shouldn't need to worry about this.
1. For this you are going to be doing some form of Analog Input. Then you will be storing this data to a file. There are examples for both of these aspects in the NI Example Finder from within LabVIEW.
2. If you are going to be doing the FFT, there is a VI under the Mathematics Palette that performs this operation. Again you can use the same example for saving data to the file.
3. You would need to figure out what needs to be done to create a digital signature for this. There may be something in the Sound and Vibration toolkit for this, but I do not know.
4. For the UDP or TCP transfers, there are several examples for doing this and they cover how to create the connection and transfer / receive data. These too are in the NI Example Finder
5. This goes back to number 4, this would indeed be a separate program, but everything else would just be one project and one program.
6. This would depend on how the ID was created in step 3, again whether you do the algorithm on yourself or not. For comparing to the table, you would use a Search Array and some comparison functions, all depending on how you stored the data initially.
7. Graphs are all available on your Front Panel of your VIs and you would just wire up the data that you'd like and have it displayed on the graph.
There will not be an example for everything that you are wanting to do. The examples are meant to help you get started. Have you used LabVIEW before? I would recommend doing the 3 Hour LabVIEW Introduction Course to help you get started. This will cover some of the basic concepts that you will need to know in order to create your application.
Unfortunately I cannot write the code for you, only guide and direct you. LabVIEW is a programming language and does require the user to lay out and create their own program. You will not be able to just find three or four pre-built code-snippets and connect them together to get your appliction working the way you want it. You will need to develop the applications yourself.

I reinstalled Itunes a couple of times. I unistalled all programs that I never use, I updated all of my drivers, Windows swept my computer and found no problems. I have a yellow causion lite when I look at the USB-port with the phone connected. All other devices work without a problem.

Hide the Save As dialog in the digital signature process

Hi!
I'm searching for a way to hide the Save As dialog when digitally signing a pdf document (embedded in a website) and instead transmit the signed document back to the website without saving it locally.
(The reason for doing this is, that I can not be sure whether the user is capable of storing the signed document locally, recover it and send it back to the server.)
In the "Adobe Acrobat SDK - Developing Plug-ins and Application" documentation under "Digital signature extended API", "Understanding the process" is stated that the digital signature plug-in displays the Save As dialog box. But it's not clear to me whether there is a way to suppress it and instead call some custom code to send the document to a webservice or something like that. (btw: I'm new to the acrobat sdk api)
Could someone be a bit more specific about this?
Are there other ways to achieve my aims?
(To use submit buttons inside the document is not an option.)
Thanks and kind regards
Marcel

Hi Leonard
I'll try to explain in more detail what I'd like to do. :)
Preconditions:
- I have no controle over the forms.
- I need to build a website hosting PDF documents for clients.
- The client needs to be able to access these docs and digitally sign them.
- When the client signs them, they should be stored on the website (overwrite the unsigned ones).
Problem:
The whole process should be as simple as possible for the client. Therefore he should not have to manually download the docs, sign them and manually upload them to the website.
Possible solution:
The client selects a document to sign which is then opened inside the website (aspx / custom control) by the Adobe Reader browser plug-in.
Now, when the client signs the document I would like to catch the "Save as" dialog and instead call some custom routine to send the signed document back to the website (webservice).
As I see it:
We would have to write a Reader plug-in that would be started when the browser-plugin is called and could be passed the address of the webservice (to send the signed PDF). Maybe the address passing could be done by javascript, but the handling of the "Save as" dialog would probably have to be handled by a custom plug-in.
My question:
Is there any way to accomplish the above (if yes, how?), or are these things that are just not possible (why? ;)?
I hope this helps to clear up things a little...
Thanks for any help!

How do I remove the digital signature option on Adobe Acrobat 7.x? I don't want it, but it pops up every time I need to sign a form, and I cannot find a way to remove

I created a digital signature to sign forms using Adobe Acrobat 7.x. I really don't want or need this feature, but do not know how to remove it or keep it from popping up every time I need to sign a form. Can anyone help? I'm not that technically savvy, so please explain in layman's terms. Thanks!

In Adobe X Pro, how do I create a digital signature in my document so that my receiver is able to sign it electronically.

If the other person will be using Reader, you should first add a digital signature field and then Reader enable the form. In Acrobat 10 you'd select: Tools > Forms > Edit
to get into form editing mode. You'd then select the signature field tool to add a signature field.
Once you have the document finalized, Reader-enable the document by selecting: File > Save As > Reader-Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
being sure to save to a new file so you don't overwrite the original. If you don't Reader-enable, Reader users won't be able to digitally sign.

Smpatch PatchPro failed: ERROR: Failed to validate the digital signature

Hello,
I 'm trying to update solaris 9 (5.9 Generic_118558-03 sun4u sparc) using smpatch.
I get the following error from all - to be installed - patches!!
Downloading the required patches for machine "xxx". Please wait...
Error: PatchPro failed: ERROR: Failed to validate the digital signature(s).
/var/sadm/spool/112941-10.jar.tmp cannot be validated.
I have read that you need to install patchid 112945-44 so i have installed it with no solution.
I have cleared the /var/tmp/patches/ directory:
# rm /var/tmp/patches/*.jar.tmp
# rm /var/sadm/spool/*.jar
I would be grateful if you reply me with any help.
Thanks,

I thought this solution:
To download signed patch 112945-45 and:
# mv 112945-45.jar /var/sadm/spool/
# smpatch add -i 112945-45
On machine ""xxx"...

Create electronic-digital signature for data

Hello
As possible create electronic-digital signature for data, referred through HTTP form internet explorer?
Thank you very much for your support.

George,
Thank you for your submission. It was helpful. This allowed me to create the signature block without having to place my own digital signature in the block. However, when I send it to my client (who has Adobe Reader but not Acrobat) she is unable to input her digital signature … I’m now half-way there but I continue to pursue a solution.

============

What is the certification authority, the third party that can confirm the digital signature?

I created a nice electronic signature, that I now regularly use and add to every document. I was told that a signature needs to be issued by a verification authority, a third party that is able to verify the signature, certificate. I created a free certificate at CAcert.org and tried to combine it with the adobe signature certificate file, but it doesnt support .cer and .crt files. Is the Adobe the certification authority in this case since i created signature in the Adobe software? Its not a big deal, I just want everything to be correct since I use the signature in official documents now (instead of scanning a signed document) ... Thanks for any info, ideas or help.
Jacob

Each Digital Certificate has a pair of private and public keys used for encryption/decryption. The private key belongs to the certificate owner and should be kept secret. It is protected by a password. The public key can be used by anyone. Digital certificates come in two flavors: one that contains both private and public key and one that contains only public key.
When you create a digital signature the signing process uses the private key to encrypt the signed content digest and the public key is used to decrypt it. So, only you can encrypt signed content with your certificate that has both private and private keys and anyone can decrypt it to validate the signature using certificate that has only public key. Usually, this certificate with the public key only is embedded in the digital signature, so that anyone can use it for decryption.
The .cer certificate contains only public key. Certificates with both private and public keys usually have extensions .pfx or .p12. You need one of those to sign.
CAcert.org issues only public key certificates. so you cannot use its certificates for digital signing.
Adobe is not a general purpose certification authority. It issues some certificates for internal use only.
Acrobat has a feature that allows you to create so-called self-signed certificates with both private and public keys but these certificates can be used only in a limited way. They do not provide the means to authenticate the real certificate owner nor revoke a certificate if it is stolen.
Generally, a digital signature asserts three main features:
1. Document integrity (document has not been changes since it had been signed),
2. Authentication (the signer is indeed what the certificate says)
3. Non-repudiation (the signature author cannot deny that he signed it: this is achieved via certificate revocation mechanism).
A self-signed certificate (of the type that Acrobat produces) can be used only for #1. It cannot be used for ##2 and 3. The latter two come only when a certificate (with private key) is issued by a reputable Certificate Authority which is trusted (like VeriSign, Symantec, etc.).
