Detailed Description

this class provides the main interface to the dcmsign module - it allows to create, examine and verify digital signatures in DICOM datasets or items.

The methods in this class do not handle digital signatures embedded in sequence items within the dataset, other than providing helper functions that allow to locate and attach the sub-items separately.

Remarks
this class is only available if DCMTK is compiled with OpenSSL support enabled.

Member Function Documentation

◆ allocateMACID()

OFCondition DcmSignature::allocateMACID ( Uint16 &  newID)
private

allocates a new mac ID number for a new signature.

examines all mac ID numbers in the digital signatures sequence and in the mac parameters sequence and returns an unused number.

Parameters
newIDupon successful return, new number is passed in this parameter
Returns
status code

◆ attach()

void DcmSignature::attach ( DcmItem dataset)

attaches a DICOM dataset or item to the signature object.

The dataset is detached by a call to detach() or by destruction of the signature object. This object may modify but never deletes an attached dataset.

Parameters
datasetdataset or item to be attached

◆ createSignature()

OFCondition DcmSignature::createSignature ( SiPrivateKey key,
SiCertificate cert,
SiMAC mac,
SiSecurityProfile profile,
E_TransferSyntax  xfer = EXS_LittleEndianExplicit,
const DcmAttributeTag tagList = NULL,
SiTimeStamp timeStamp = NULL 
)

creates a new digital signature in the current dataset.

Checks whether private and public key match and whether all requirements of the given security profile are fulfilled.

Parameters
keyprivate key for signature creation
certcertificate with public key
macMAC algorithm to be used for signature creation
profilesecurity profile for signature creation
xfertransfer syntax to use when serializing DICOM data
tagListpointer to list of attribute tags to sign, may be NULL. If this parameter is nonzero, it contains a list of attribute sign. The real list of attributes signed is derived from this parameter plus the requirements of the security profile. If NULL, a universal match is assumed, i.e. all signable attributes in the data set are signed.
timeStamppointer to time stamp client used to create timestamps for the digital signature.
Returns
status code

◆ currentDateTime()

static void DcmSignature::currentDateTime ( OFString str)
staticprivate

returns the current date and time as a DICOM DT string.

Parameters
strdate/time returned in this string.

◆ findFirstSignatureItem()

static DcmItem* DcmSignature::findFirstSignatureItem ( DcmItem item,
DcmStack stack 
)
static

recursively browses through the given dataset and searches the first occurence of the DigitalSignaturesSequence.

If found, returns a pointer to the Item in which the sequence is contained.

Parameters
itemdataset to be browsed
stacksearch stack, must be passed to findNextSignatureItem() later on.
Returns
pointer to Item containing a DigitalSignatureSequence if found, NULL otherwise.

◆ findNextSignatureItem()

static DcmItem* DcmSignature::findNextSignatureItem ( DcmItem item,
DcmStack stack 
)
static

recursively browses through the given dataset and searches the next occurence of the DigitalSignaturesSequence.

If found, returns a pointer to the Item in which the sequence is contained.

Parameters
itemdataset to be browsed
stacksearch stack as returned by findFirstSignatureItem() or the last call to this method.
Returns
pointer to Item containing a DigitalSignatureSequence if found, NULL otherwise.

◆ getCurrentCertificate()

SiCertificate* DcmSignature::getCurrentCertificate ( )

returns the certificate of the current signature if present.

Current signature must be selected with selectSignature(). May return NULL if certificate is unavailable.

Returns
pointer to current certificate, NULL if unavailable.

◆ getCurrentDataElementsSigned()

OFCondition DcmSignature::getCurrentDataElementsSigned ( DcmAttributeTag desig)

returns the Data Elements Signed attribute of the current signature if present.

Current signature must be selected with selectSignature(). If a valid signature is selected but the signature does not contain the Data Elements Signed element (i.e. all attributes are signed), this method returns an error code.

Parameters

Returns
status code

◆ getCurrentMacID()

OFCondition DcmSignature::getCurrentMacID ( Uint16 &  macID)

returns the MAC Algorithm Name of the current signature.

Current signature must be selected with selectSignature().

Parameters
strMAC algorithm name returned in this parameter upon success
Returns
status code

◆ getCurrentMacXferSyntaxName()

OFCondition DcmSignature::getCurrentMacXferSyntaxName ( OFString str)

returns the MAC Calculation Transfer Syntax of the current signature.

If the transfer syntax is well-known, the UID is replaced by the transfer syntax name preceded by '='. Current signature must be selected with selectSignature().

Parameters
strtransfer syntax name or UID returned in this parameter upon success
Returns
status code

◆ getCurrentSignatureDateTime()

OFCondition DcmSignature::getCurrentSignatureDateTime ( OFString str)

returns the Signature Date/Time of the current signature.

Current signature must be selected with selectSignature().

Parameters
strsignature date/time returned in this parameter upon success
Returns
status code

◆ getCurrentSignatureUID()

OFCondition DcmSignature::getCurrentSignatureUID ( OFString str)

returns the Digital Signature UID of the current signature.

Current signature must be selected with selectSignature().

Parameters
strsignature UID returned in this parameter upon success
Returns
status code

◆ getMACIDnumber()

static Uint16 DcmSignature::getMACIDnumber ( DcmItem item)
staticprivate

searches a given item for the DCM_MACIDnumber element and returns its value if present, otherwise returns 0.

Parameters
itemitem to be searched
Returns
MAC ID number in item or zero if absent.

◆ initializeLibrary()

static void DcmSignature::initializeLibrary ( )
static

initializes the dcmsign library including the underlying OpenSSL library.

this method should be called by main() before any object of the dcmsign library is created or used.

◆ numberOfSignatures()

unsigned long DcmSignature::numberOfSignatures ( )

returns the number of signatures in the dataset.

Does not count signatures embedded in sequence items within the dataset.

◆ removeSignature()

OFCondition DcmSignature::removeSignature ( unsigned long  i)

removes a signature from the dataset.

Parameters
iindex, must be < numberOfSignatures().
Returns
status code

◆ selectSignature()

selects one of the digital signatures from the attached dataset for reading.

Parameters
iindex, must be < numberOfSignatures()
Returns
status code

◆ setDumpFile()

void DcmSignature::setDumpFile ( FILE *  f)

dump all data that is fed into the MAC algorithm into the given file, which must be opened and closed by caller.
