Search for encrypted object in QR code signatures
Leave feedback
GroupDocs.Signature provides ability to search for embedded data objects in QR-code signatures (QrCodeSignature) with standard or custom encryption. Standard encryption is implemented over class SymmetricEncryption class. Creation of this object expects 3 arguments like encryption algorithm enumeration SymmetricAlgorithmType with one of following values (DES, TripleDES, RC2, Rijndael), string value key and string value salt.
Here are the steps to search for embedded objects in QR-code with standard encryption with GroupDocs.Signature:
Create new instance of Signature class and pass source document path or stream as a constructor parameter.
Compose object of SymmetricEncryption class with same parameters as secured QR-code was signed with.
Searching for embedded object in QR-code signature
This example shows how to search for embedded object in QR-code signatures.
using(Signaturesignature=newSignature("QRCodeEncryptedObject.pdf")){// setup key and pasphrasestringkey="1234567890";stringsalt="1234567890";// create data encryptionIDataEncryptionencryption=newSymmetricEncryption(SymmetricAlgorithmType.Rijndael,key,salt);QrCodeSearchOptionsoptions=newQrCodeSearchOptions(){// specify special pages to search onAllPages=true,PageNumber=1,PagesSetup=newPagesSetup(){FirstPage=true,LastPage=true,OddPages=false,EvenPages=false},// specify special QRCode type to searchEncodeType=QrCodeTypes.QR,//DataEncryption=encryption};// search for signatures in documentList<QrCodeSignature>signatures=signature.Search<QrCodeSignature>(options);Console.WriteLine("\nSource document contains following signatures.");foreach(varqrCodeSignatureinsignatures){Console.WriteLine("QRCode signature found at page {0} with type {1}.",qrCodeSignature.PageNumber,qrCodeSignature.EncodeType);DocumentSignatureDatadocumentSignatureData=qrCodeSignature.GetData<DocumentSignatureData>();if(documentSignatureData!=null){Console.WriteLine("QRCode signature has DocumentSignatureData object:\n ID = {0}, Author = {1}, Signed = {2}, DataFactor {3}",documentSignatureData.ID,documentSignatureData.Author,documentSignatureData.Signed.ToShortDateString(),documentSignatureData.DataFactor);}}}
