Detailed Description

The built-in cryptographic provider.

The built-in cryptographic provider requires no cryptographic hardware or external service (except for the optional PdfToolsCryptoProvidersBuiltIn_Provider_GetTimestampUrl).

Signing certificates with private keys can be loaded using PdfToolsCryptoProvidersBuiltIn_Provider_CreateSignatureFromCertificate.

Certificates Directory: Additional certificates, e.g. issuer certificates, can be stored in the certificates directory. These certificates are required when adding validation information to signatures that do not have the full trust chain embedded. The certificates directory may contain certificates in either PEM (.pem, ASCII text) or DER (.cer, binary) form.
