XAdESjs - KeyInfo

This version adds a fix to the SignedXml class that throws an exception when you try to add a Reference with a specific URL before call the sign method. This was specifically with the KeyInfo Reference

This library was modified to help with the Electronic Invoice schema, we swap the values in the KeyInfo section.

Now we adding first the X509 cert then the KeyValue section. We also added some changes in the SignedInfo section to add the Uri as default on each Reference section and we exchange the positions between Uri and Target.

For information please refer the original XMLDSIG js).

XAdES is short for "XML Advanced Electronic Signatures", it is a superset of XMLDSIG. This library aims to provide an implementation of XAdES in Typescript/Javascript that is built on XMLDSIGjs.

Since it is based on XMLDSIGjs and that library uses Web Crypto for cryptographic operations it can be used both in browsers and in Node.js (when used with a polyfill like node-webcrypto-ossl or node-webcrypto-p11).

There are seven different profiles of XAdES, they are:

• Basic Electronic Signature (XAdES-BES)
• XAdES with Timestamp (XAdES-T)
• XAdES with Complete Validation Data (XAdES-C)
• XAdES with Extended Validation Data (XAdES-X)
• XAdES with Extended Long Term Validation Data (XAdES-X-L)
• XAdES with Archiving Validation Data (XAdES-A)
• XAdES with Explicit policy electronic signatures (XAdES-EPES)

They differ slightly based on what is included in the signature:

| | Provides Digital Signature | Includes Cryptographic Timestamp | Includes Revocation References | Includes Revocation Data | Allows Secure Timestamp Countersignature | |------------|----------------------------|----------------------------------|--------------------------------|--------------------------|------------------------------------------| | XAdES-BES | Yes | No | No | No | No | | XAdES-EPES | Yes | No | No | No | No | | XAdES-T | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | | XAdES-C | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No | | XAdES-X | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No | | XAdES-X-L | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | | XAdES-A | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |

• Only XAdES-BES (in BOLD) is fully supported by XAdESjs. For the other variants can be created, decoded and verified but the caller must do the construction and policy to ensure compliant messages on their own.

INSTALLING

npm install xadesjs

The npm module has a dist folder with the following files:

| Name | Size | Description | |-----------------|--------|------------------------------------------------| | index.js | 105 Kb | UMD module with external modules. Has comments | | xades.js | 803 Kb | UMD bundle module. Has comments | | xades.min.js | 296 Kb | minified UMD bundle module |

There is also a lib folder with an ES2015 JS file which you can use with rollup bundler.

• XmlDsigC14NWithCommentsTransform
• XmlDsigExcC14NTransform
• XmlDsigExcC14NWithCommentsTransform
• XmlDsigEnvelopedSignatureTransform
• XmlDsigBase64Transform

PLATFORM SUPPORT

XAdESjs works with any browser that suppports Web Crypto. Since node does not have Web Crypto you will need a polyfill on this platform, for this reason the npm package includes node-webcrypto-ossl; browsers do not need this dependency and in those cases though it will be installed it will be ignored.

If you need to use a Hardware Security Module we have also created a polyfill for Web Crypto that supports PKCS #11. Our polyfill for this is node-webcrypto-p11.

To use node-webcrypto-ossl you need to specify you want to use it, that looks like this:

var xadesjs = require("./built/xades.js");
var WebCrypto = require("node-webcrypto-ossl");

xadesjs.Application.setEngine("OpenSSL", new WebCrypto());

The node-webcrypto-p11 polyfill will work the same way. The only difference is that you have to specify the details about your PKCS #11 device when you instansiate it:

var xadesjs = require("./built/xades.js");
var WebCrypto = require("node-webcrypto-p11").WebCrypto;

xadesjs.Application.setEngine("PKCS11", new WebCrypto({
    library: "/path/to/pkcs11.so",
	name: "Name of PKCS11 lib",
	slot: 0,
    sessionFlags: 2 | 4, // RW_SESSION | SERIAL_SESSION
	pin: "token pin"
}));

WARNING

Using XMLDSIG is a bit like running with scissors, that said it is needed for interoperability with a number of systems, for this reason, we have done this implementation.
