[jira] [Created] (PDFBOX-3173) Signature dictionary is not decrypted in encrypted files

Tilman Hausherr created PDFBOX-3173:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Signature dictionary is not decrypted in encrypted files
                 Key: PDFBOX-3173
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3173
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Crypto
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Tilman Hausherr


Changes in PDFBOX-2801 and PDFBOX-2469 result in the signature dictionary not being decrypted in encrypted files. Because these aren't visible signatures, this is noticed only when looking at the signature dictionary in PDFDebugger.

Example files:
- PDFBOX-2711
- 045697.pdf
- 050289.pdf
- 070413.pdf 

I hit that problem while wondering what to do about PDFBOX-2729, and wondered why the "too good to be true" solution of [~GGlad] worked at all, because his solution did encrypt the signature parts.

I did not find anything in the "32000" spec that the signature dictionary is not to be encrypted.

>From [~msahyoun]:

>From ISO32000-2:

Encryption applies to all strings and streams in the document's PDF file, with the following exceptions:

The values for the  ID entry in the trailer

Any strings in an Encrypt dictionary

Any strings that are inside streams such as content streams and compressed object streams, which themselves are encrypted

Any hexadecimal strings representing the value of the Contents  key in a Signature dictionary
