public interface SoapDocumentSignatureService extends Serializable
Interface for the Contract of the Signature Web Service. The signing web service allows to create a new signature or to extend existing one. Different forms of signature: XAdES, CAdES, PAdES, JAdES (as well as ASiC containers) are accepted.

The digital signature of a document in a web environment is performed in three steps: 1. Creating a byte stream representing the data to be signed. 2. Hashing of the data previously obtained and its encryption. 3. The creation of the envelope containing all the elements of a digital signature.

The process is controlled by a set of parameters.
