Summary

Methods

Properties

Properties

$_auth

protected bool AbstractHandler::$_auth = false

Defines if this security handler is authenticated

$_authMode

protected ?string AbstractHandler::$_authMode

The auth mode

Says who is authenticated: user or owner

$_document

protected \setasign\SetaPDF2\Core\Document AbstractHandler::$_document

The document to which this security handler is attached

$_encryptMetadata

protected bool AbstractHandler::$_encryptMetadata = true

Metadata are encrypted or not

$_encryptionDictionary

protected \setasign\SetaPDF2\Core\Type\PdfDictionary AbstractHandler::$_encryptionDictionary

The encryption dictionary

$_encryptionKey

protected string AbstractHandler::$_encryptionKey

The encryption key

$_keyLength

protected int AbstractHandler::$_keyLength = 5

The key length in bytes

This value is still needed if crypt filters are in use:

  • It is needed to compute the encryption key.
  • It is needed to compute the O value It is NOT documented which key length should be used for this things if a crypt filter is in use.

$_streamAlgorithm

protected array AbstractHandler::$_streamAlgorithm = array(...)

The algorithm key length to be used for en/decrypting stream

$_stringAlgorithm

protected array AbstractHandler::$_stringAlgorithm = array(...)

The algorithm key length to be used for en/decrypting strings

void
): \setasign\SetaPDF2\Core\Type\PdfDictionary

Gets the encryption dictionary.

getEncryptionKey()

public AbstractHandler::getEncryptionKey (
void
): string

Get the encryption key if known/authenticated.

Exceptions

Throws Exception

getPdfVersion()

public AbstractHandler::getPdfVersion (
void
): string

Get the PDF version, which is needed for the currently used encryption algorithm.

Exceptions

Throws \setasign\SetaPDF2\NotImplementedException

getPermission()

public AbstractHandler::getPermission (
int $permission
): bool

Queries if a permission is granted.

Parameters
$permission : int
 

getPermissions()

abstract public AbstractHandler::getPermissions (
