two questions about digital signatures

[ousia]

@JorjMcKie,

congratulations for keeping the excellent work developing these bindings.

I have two questions I couldn’t find anywhere else.

1. Are digital signatures implemented in the bindings? Is there an ETA for this feature?

   (Sorry, but signatures is a tricky string to search for in this repo, since there are CLAs.)

2. This issue happens also with MuPDF upstream, but I don’t know where to get info.

   Is there any way to make MuPDF handle security devices from Firefox (or to sign using a smart card)?

Many thanks for your help and congratulations again for your hard work.

Hi Pablo,

Ad 1.
No, not yet. Although support is present in MuPDF itself as you know, linking to OpenSSL, specifically automating OpenSSL access as a thirdparty library is a pain in the neck. Which aggravates with the many platforms PyMuPDF is supporting nowadays. It is a backburner however and hasn't gone from the enhancement list.

Ad 2.
This topic is new to me I must confess.
Are you a user of Artifex public Discord channels? Asking around there is probably the most appropriate place. Here are the links: PyMuPDF, MuPDF.

Hi Jorj,

many thanks for your fast reply.

I wonder whether these Python bindings for OpenSSL might help the integration.

Many thanks for your help again.
