PDF Signature verification support
Here's an initial attempt at solving this issue.
This patch adds signature verification support to poppler core.
It uses OpenSSL PKCS7 API for the crypto operations (signature and certificate
Validations).
4 new functions were added at the glib wrapper level:
poppler_document_is_signed
poppler_document_signature_validate
poppler_document_signature_get_time
poppler_document_signature_get_signername
I've coordinated with Vasco Dias to expose this feature in Evince and
his work is in the latest patches attached to this bug:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=614929
As the additional dependency on OpenSSL couldn't possibly satisfy
everyone I made it optional at build-time with --enable-openssl for
Autotools and -DENABLE_OPENSSL=ON for cmake
Current limitations:
- Timestamps contained in the PKCS7 signature are not verified
- the new functionality is not yet exposed in the qt4 wrapper as I prioritized
the glib wrapper to support Evince.

Title:
verify digital signatures
Status in Poppler:
Confirmed
Status in “poppler” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: evince
This is a feature request to verify digital signatures. I'm receiving more
and more digitally signed PDF's and evince already acknowledges them with:
Signature Not Verified
Digitally signed by <signer>
Date: <time stamp>
Reason: <reason>
Location: <location>
but it would be great if Evince would be integrated into the distro's
ca-certificate infrastructure to verify these signatures.
