SetaPDF-Signer component modules for the GlobalSign Digital Signing Service.

This package offers modules for the SetaPDF-Signer component that allow you to use the Cloud-based Digital Signing Service by GlobalSign to digital sign and timestamp PDF documents in pure PHP.

Requirements

To use this package you need credentials for the GlobalSign Digital Signing Service which are:

  1. Your private key
  2. Client certificate for mTLS connection to the API
  3. Your API key and password

See "GlobalSign-Digital-Signing-Service-Guide 1.3.pdf" (or newer) for details. Ask a GlobalSign contact for this document.

This package is developed and tested on PHP >= 7.1. Requirements of the SetaPDF-Signer component can be found here.

We're using PSR-17 (HTTP Factories) and PSR-18 (HTTP Client) for the requests. So you'll need an implementation of these. We recommend using Guzzle.

For PHP 7.1

    "require" : {
        "guzzlehttp/guzzle": "^6.5",
        "http-interop/http-factory-guzzle": "^1.0",
        "mjelamanov/psr18-guzzle": "^1.3"
    }

For >= PHP 7.2

    "require" : {
        "guzzlehttp/guzzle": "^7.0",
        "http-interop/http-factory-guzzle": "^1.0"
    }

Installation

Add following to your composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "setasign/seta-pdf-signer-addon-global-sign-dss": "^2.0"
    },
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "https://www.setasign.com/downloads/"
        }
    ]
}

and execute composer update. You need to define the repository to evaluate the dependency to the SetaPDF-Signer component (see here for more details).

Evaluation version

By default, this packages depends on a licensed version of the SetaPDF-Signer component. If you want to use it with an evaluation version please use following in your composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "setasign/seta-pdf-signer-addon-global-sign-dss": "dev-evaluation"
    },
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "https://www.setasign.com/downloads/"
        }
    ]
}

Usage

All classes in this package are located in the namespace setasign\SetaPDF\Signer\Module\GlobalSign\Dss.

The Client class

There's a simple Client class which wraps the REST API into simple PHP methods. It handles the authentication, requests and responses internally.

The constructor of this class requires the following arguments:

  • $httpClient PSR-18 HTTP Client implementation.
  • $requestFactory PSR-17 HTTP Factory implementation.
  • $streamFactory PSR-17 HTTP Factory implementation.
  • $apiKey is your API key received from GlobalSign.
  • $apiSecret is the secret to your API key received from GlobalSign.

A common creation could look like:

$options = [
    'http_errors' => false, // recommended for guzzle - because of PSR-18
    'cert' => 'path/to/tls-cert.pem',
    'ssl_key' => 'path/to/private/key.pem'  
];

$apiKey = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$apiSecret = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';

$httpClient = new GuzzleHttp\Client($options);
// if you are using php 7.0 or 7.1
//$httpClient = new Mjelamanov\GuzzlePsr18\Client($httpClient);
$requestFactory = new Http\Factory\Guzzle\RequestFactory();
$streamFactory = new Http\Factory\Guzzle\StreamFactory();

$client = new Dss\Client($httpClient, $requestFactory, $streamFactory, $apiKey, $apiSecret);

You can use this instance to e.g. query general information:

$remainingSignatures = $client->getQuota(Dss\Client::TYPE_SIGNATURES);
// or 
$signaturesCount = $client->getCount(Dss\Client::TYPE_SIGNATURES);

To create a digital signature you need to create a signing certificate first which can be done with the getIdentity() method. The argument to this method can be an associative array as defined here. The method will return an Identity instance which is nothing more than a data wrapper of the returned id, signing certificate and OCSP response.

$identity = $client->getIdentity();

This Identity needs to be forward to the signature module which internally passes it back to the Dss\Client\sign() method to get the final signature. It is also possible to use this method individually (just for completion):

$signature = $client->sign($identity, hash('sha256', $data));

The SignatureModule class

This is the main signature module which can be used with the SetaPDF-Signer component. Its constructor requires these arguments:

  • $signer is the instance of the \SetaPDF_Signer class to which the module is passed afterwards. Internally $signer->setAllowSignatureContentLengthChange(false) is called to prohibit redundant signature requests.
  • $client needs to be the Dss\Client instance.
  • $identity a Dss\Identity instance.
  • $module needs to be a CMS or PAdES signature module instance. It is used internally to create the CMS container.

A simple complete signature process would look like this:

// set up the client and identity
$options = [
    'http_errors' => false,
    'cert' => 'path/to/tls-cert.pem',
    'ssl_key' => 'path/to/private/key.pem'  
];

$apiKey = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$apiSecret = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';

$httpClient = new GuzzleHttp\Client($options);
// if you are using php 7.0 or 7.1
//$httpClient = new Mjelamanov\GuzzlePsr18\Client($httpClient);
$requestFactory = new Http\Factory\Guzzle\RequestFactory();
$streamFactory = new Http\Factory\Guzzle\StreamFactory();

$client = new Dss\Client($httpClient, $requestFactory, $streamFactory, $apiKey, $apiSecret);
$identity = $client->getIdentity();

// now start the signature process
$writer = new \SetaPDF_Core_Writer_File('signed.pdf');
$document = \SetaPDF_Core_Document::loadByFilename('invoice.pdf', $writer);
 
$signer = new \SetaPDF_Signer($document);
$signer->setSignatureContentLength(15000);

$pades = new \SetaPDF_Signer_Signature_Module_Pades();
$module = new Dss\SignatureModule($signer, $client, $identity, $pades);
 
$signer->sign($module);

The TimestampModule class

This module can be used to add timestamps to the digital signature or to create document level timestamps. It's constructor simply requires a Dss\Client instance:

$tsmodule = new Dss\TimestampModule($client);

It doesn't requires an identity as the signature module but can be passed as it is to the \SetaPDF_Signer instance:

$signer->setTimestampModule($tsmodule);
// ...
$signer->sign($module);

or you can create a document level timestamp with it:

$signer->setTimestampModule($tsmodule);
// ...
$signer->timestamp();

Information about Tests

The test suite currently only comes with functional tests, which invoke real service calls! Keep in mind that these calls are deducted from your signature contingent. You should not execute these tests in an automated environment!!

To execute the tests, you need to create a folder in the root of this package with the following file:

/private/
    credentials.php

The credentials.php file needs to return your credentials, certificate and private key:

<?php
        
return [
    'apiKey' => '<YOUR API KEY>',
    'apiSecret' => '<YOUR API SECRET>',
    'cert' => '/path/to/your/mTLS/certificate.pem',
    'privateKey' => '/path/to/your/private/key.pem'
];
