PortableSigner2

PortableSigner - A Commandline and GUI Tool to digital sign PDF files with X.509 certificates

English (german scroll down)

Start program with

java -jar PortableSigner

There's a minimal installer in the package PortableSigner-Generic-x.x.xxx.zip
in the directory linux/.

There's a full blown installer as PortableSigner-Installer-x.x.xxx.exe.

The following additional libraries are provided and used:

- itext (siehe auch http://itext.sourceforge.net)
- BouncyCastle (siehe auch http://www.bouncycastle.org)
- Swing-layout (siehe auch http://layout.jdesktop.org)

For the use of Bouncycastle the Java Strong export Security must be used.
(Look at http://www.bouncycastle.org/documentation.html):

"

1. If you are using JDK 1.4, or later, you must use the signed jar for
   the provider and you must download the unrestricted policy files for
   the Sun JCE if you want the provider to work properly. The policy files
   can be found at the same place as the JDK download. Further information
   on this can be found in the Sun documentation on the JCE. If you have not
   installed the policy files you will see something like:

java.lang.SecurityException: Unsupported keysize or algorithm parameters
at javax.crypto.Cipher.init(DashoA6275)
"

The new JCE Policy can be found
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
at the end of the page:
"Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy "

If you're upgrading your Java runtime, please reinstall the policies to apply
the security policies again.

Das vorliegende Programm laesst sich in einer Java 1.5.0 Umgebung mit

- Swing-layout (siehe auch http://layout.jdesktop.org)

Fuer die Verwendung von Bouncycastle muss das Schema fuer Strong Export Security
in der Java Runtime installiert sein (siehe auch Zitat
von http://www.bouncycastle.org/documentation.html):

"

1. If you are using JDK 1.4, or later, you must use the signed jar for
   the provider and you must download the unrestricted policy files for
   the Sun JCE if you want the provider to work properly. The policy files
   can be found at the same place as the JDK download. Further information

Die neue JCE Policy ist zu finden unter
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
gegen Ende der Seite als:

Sollten Sie Ihre Java Runtime updaten oder neu installieren, bitte die Policy
noch einmal installieren, damit die Security Policy auch dort wirkt.
