Adding a trusted certificate

Before you can verify signatures in `DigitalSignatureListDialog`, you will need to add your self-signed certificate to the store of trusted certificates using the `DigitalSignatureUtils.addCertificate(Context, File)` method. Certificates added this way will be stored internally and referenced by `DigitalSignatureListDialog` when validating your signatures.

Validating digital signatures

To verify your digital signatures, you can show the DigitalSignatureListDialog using the code below:

1private static void showDigitalSignatureList(ToolManager toolManager, PDFViewCtrl pdfViewCtrl, FragmentManager fragmentManager) {
2    DigitalSignatureListDialog dialog = DigitalSignatureListDialog.newInstance();
3    dialog.setStyle(DialogFragment.STYLE_NO_TITLE, toolManager.getTheme());
4    dialog.setPDFViewCtrl(pdfViewCtrl);
5    dialog.show(fragmentManager, "digital_sig_list_dialog");
6}

In this list, you will be able to view digital signature information such as the signer's name, time of signing, signature validity, etc. Additionally you can tap on Signature Properties to view additional signature details.
