AddPreparedSignature(Document, SignatureConfiguration, Stream, OutputOptions): Create the document with the prepared signature. GetHash(HashAlgorithm): Calculate the hash from the document and create the signature using an external signature handler. ReadExternalSignature(Byte): Create signature configuration for the external signature. SignPreparedSignature(Document, SignatureConfiguration, Stream): Insert the external signature into the document with the prepared signature.
	CreateSignatureFromCertificate	Create a configuration to sign with a PFX (PKCS#12) soft certificate The file must contain the certificate itself, all certificates of the trust chain, and the private key.
	CreateTimestamp	Create a time-stamp configuration Note that to create time-stamps, the TimestampUrl must be set.
	Dispose	Close the object Release all resources associated with the object. (Inherited from Provider)
	Equals	(Inherited from NativeObject)
	GetHashCode	(Inherited from NativeObject)
