Digital Signature

The Digital Signature object contains information about the cryptographic mechanism used to verify the authenticity, integrity, and origin of the file or application.

Attributes

algorithm_id

• Type: integer_t
• Requirement: required
• Values:
  • 0 - Unknown: The algorithm is unknown.
  • 1 - DSA: Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA).
  • 2 - RSA: Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) Algorithm.
  • 3 - ECDSA: Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm.
  • 4 - Authenticode: Microsoft Authenticode Digital Signature Algorithm.
  • 99 - Other: The algorithm is not mapped. See the algorithm attribute, which contains a data source specific value.

The identifier of the normalized digital signature algorithm.

certificate

• Type: certificate
• Requirement: recommended

The certificate object containing information about the digital certificate.

algorithm

• Type: string_t
• Requirement: optional

The digital signature algorithm used to create the signature, normalized to the caption of ‘algorithm_id’. In the case of ‘Other’, it is defined by the event source.

created_time

• Type: timestamp_t
• Requirement: optional

The time when the digital signature was created.

created_time_dt

• Type: datetime_t
• Requirement: optional

The time when the digital signature was created.

developer_uid

• Type: string_t
• Requirement: optional

The developer ID on the certificate that signed the file.

digest

• Type: fingerprint
• Requirement: optional

The message digest attribute contains the fixed length message hash representation and the corresponding hashing algorithm information.
