GlobalSign DSS - Document level timestamp
This demo shows you how to create a document level timestamp signature using the SetaPDF-Signer component with the GlobalSign Digital Signing Service.
Optionally you can embed revocation information of the timestamp signature to the resulting PDF document for Long-Term Validation (LTV).
It uses individual modules we created for this service. The source code is available on GitHub and it can be installed through Composer as well.
We'd implemented both a signature and a timestamp module which communicate via a client class with the REST API of the GlobalSign Digital Signing Service. While the complete PDF preparation and handling is done by the SetaPDF-Signer component, only hashes are sent to the REST API.
