PAdES LT-Level

General Information

The LT-Level signature is based on the T-Level signature. In addition to T-Level signature, it includes the root and sub-root certificates of the certification authority and the CRL and OCSP responses for signature verification. This enables the signature to be validated for a long period of time.

This data, which is added to the signature file, is used while performing signature verification. It does not need to connect to any external system for signature verification and to obtain verification data; all data required for verification is accessed from the contents of the signature file. It is the most recommended signature format thanks to these features.

PAdES-LT Level

The following table specifies the signature properties that must be included in the signature file for PAdES LT-Level signature format:

Signature Properties PAdES LT-Level
Signed Attributes Content-type M
Message-digest M
ESS signing-certificate v2 M
/Signature Dictionary/M Entry M
/Signature Dictionary/Reason Entry O
/Signature Dictionary/Location Entry O
Content-time-stamp O

/Type/DocTimeStamp /SubFilter/ETSI.RFC3161 -

M: Must - It is mandatory to provide the specified substance. If the substance is not provided, the e-signature conformity assessment will result in a negative.

O: Optional – It is optional to provide the specified substance. If the substance is not provided, the e-signature conformity assessment will not result in a negative.

- : This means that the attribute is not in the signature format.

It is recommended not to use optional attributes unless needed.

Procedure

* One of the following methods must be selected when verifying the signed document if the signer certificate includes a monetary limit:

  • “INVALID Signature” message must be displayed. The description of the error should be reported to the user.
  • The monetary limit of the certificate is compared with the monetary limit of the signed document and if the monetary limit of the certificate is sufficient for the monetary value of the signed document, “VALID Signature” message must be displayed.
  • In the case where the monetary limit of the certificate is not compared with the monetary limit of the signed document, the user should be warned that the signer certificate has a monetary limit and “VALID Signature” message must be displayed.
