DocWright.Signatures

Digital signatures for Office packages and PDFs: verify OPC package signatures with per-part results, sign a package, and add a PDF signature as an incremental update.

Add-on for DocWright.

Install

dotnet add package DocWright.Signatures

Verifying a signed package

using DocWright.Signatures;

using FileStream package = File.OpenRead("signed.docx");

PackageSignatureVerificationResult result = PackageSignatureVerifier.Verify(package);

Console.WriteLine($"signed: {result.IsSigned}, all valid: {result.AllSignaturesValid}");

foreach (PackageSignature signature in result.Signatures)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"{signature.PartUri}: {signature.Status}");   // Valid, ReferenceDigestMismatch, ...

    foreach (SignatureReferenceResult reference in signature.References)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"  {reference.Target}: {(reference.Matches ? "ok" : "FAILED")}");
    }
}

Per-part results matter: they tell you which part broke a signature, not merely that something did.

Signing

Signing goes through an ISignatureProvider (or IPdfSignatureProvider for PDF) that you implement. DocWright never holds your private key, never opens a certificate store and never prompts — it hands your provider the bytes to sign and writes back what it returns. That keeps HSM, KMS and smart-card scenarios possible without this package knowing anything about them.

using DocWright.Signatures;

using FileStream source = File.OpenRead("contract.docx");
using FileStream destination = File.Create("contract-signed.docx");

PackageSigner.Sign(source, destination, myProvider, new PackageSigningOptions
{
    HashAlgorithm = SignatureHashAlgorithm.Sha256,
});

A PDF is signed the same way, through PdfSigner.Sign(pdfBytes, destination, provider, options) with an IPdfSignatureProvider that returns a detached CMS signature.

Important: saving invalidates a signature

A package signature covers the content parts. Any save re-serializes those parts, so a document that was signed, then loaded and saved, comes out with a signature that is intact as bytes and invalid as a signature. That is inherent to re-writing signed content, not a defect — verify before you edit, and re-sign after.
