README

A Laravel Filament plugin for capturing signatures, issuing X.509 certificates, and embedding cryptographically signed stamps into PDF documents.

Supports: Filament v4 and v5 — Laravel 11 / 12 — PHP 8.2+

Documentation

Doc	Description
Installation	Composer, migrations, plugin registration, admin resource
Configuration	All config keys and env variables
Model Setup	Signable interface and HasSignatures trait
Filament Components	SignaturePad, SignatureColumn, SignatureResource, SignDocumentAction
Signing Workflow	Full lifecycle and SignatureManager API
Ad-hoc Signing	Implement document signing outside a package resource
Certificates	Certificate issuance, CA setup, CFSSL
Security	HMAC metadata, machine binding, DB cross-validation, forgery detection

Requirements

PHP 8.2+ with ext-openssl and ext-gd
Laravel 11 or 12
Filament 4 or 5

Quick Install

composer require kukux/digital-signature
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=signature-migrations
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=signature-config
php artisan migrate

// app/Providers/Filament/AdminPanelProvider.php
use Kukux\DigitalSignature\SignaturePlugin;

->plugins([
    SignaturePlugin::make()
        ->navigationGroup('Documents')   // optional
        ->navigationIcon('heroicon-o-pencil-square')  // optional
        ->navigationSort(10),             // optional
])

This registers:

Signatures — a full admin resource for registering reusable signature images and viewing signature records
Sign Document — header actions inside the Signatures resource for signing with a registered signature

Preparing a Signable Model

Any model whose PDF can be signed must implement Signable and use HasSignatures.

use Kukux\DigitalSignature\Contracts\Signable;
use Kukux\DigitalSignature\Traits\HasSignatures;

class Contract extends Model implements Signable
{
    use HasSignatures;

    public function getSignableTitle(): string   { return $this->title; }
    public function getSignablePdfPath(): string { return $this->pdf_path; }
    public function getSignableId(): int|string  { return $this->id; }
}

Adding the Sign Action to Your Own Resource

First let the signer register a reusable signature from the built-in Signatures resource. Then add SignDocumentAction to any resource whose model implements Signable.

use Kukux\DigitalSignature\Filament\Actions\SignDocumentAction;
use Kukux\DigitalSignature\Filament\Columns\SignatureColumn;

class ContractResource extends Resource
{
    public static function table(Table $table): Table
    {
        return $table
            ->columns([
                TextColumn::make('title'),
                SignatureColumn::make('signature')->thumbSize(80, 32),
            ])
            ->actions([
                SignDocumentAction::make()
                    ->stampAt(page: 1, x: 100, y: 650, w: 200, h: 80),
            ]);
    }
}

For controller-driven or custom page flows, see Ad-hoc Signing.

Built-in Signatures Admin Resource

When the plugin is registered, a Signatures resource appears in the sidebar automatically.

Register SignaturePlugin::make() on every Filament panel that should use the package. If a panel discovers or registers SignatureResource without the plugin, Filament can report Plugin [signature] is not registered for panel [admin].

List page — table of all signature records with thumbnail, signer, status, and method.
View page — full infolist showing the large signature image, signer details, security metadata.

Both pages include a Sign Document header action.

Customize appearance:

SignaturePlugin::make()
    ->navigationGroup('Documents')
    ->navigationIcon('heroicon-o-pencil-square')
    ->navigationSort(10)
    ->navigationLabel('Document Signatures')

// Disable the resource entirely (bring your own):
SignaturePlugin::make()->withoutResource()

Security Highlights

Feature	Default
PKCS#7 cryptographic signature embedded in PDF	Always on
DocMDP P=2 — post-signing modification detection	Always on
HMAC-signed PNG metadata (tEXt + XMP)	Always on
XMP metadata visible in macOS Preview & Windows Explorer	Always on
Signer identity (name + email) embedded in PNG	Always on
Forgery / screenshot upload rejection	Always on
Document integrity hashes (before + after)	Always on
Machine binding — DB cross-validation on re-upload	Always on
Machine lock — reject re-upload from different device	`SIGNATURE_MACHINE_LOCK=true`
CRL certificate revocation check	`SIGNATURE_CRL_ENABLED=true`
RFC 3161 trusted timestamp via TSA	`SIGNATURE_TSA_URL=https://...`

For full details see docs/security.md.

Queue

Signing runs asynchronously. Start a queue worker:

php artisan queue:work

To sign synchronously (no queue required):

SignDocumentAction::make()   // default is now synchronous

The action calls embedAndFinalize() directly unless you opt in to queued signing:

SignDocumentAction::make()->queued()
