The current plugin is compatible with ILIAS 5.1 and 5.2. For older ILIAS-Versions see the releases.

This plugin will add a digital signature to the PDF generated after exams, if the corresponding flag in the testoptions is set. It uses the free DFN-timestamp-service with the RFC-3161 standard („Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Time-Stamp Protocol (TSP)“).

Install the plugin

mkdir -p Customizing/global/plugins/Modules/Test/Signature  
cd Customizing/global/plugins/Modules/Test/Signature
git clone https://github.com/kyro46/SignatureRFC3161.git

and activate it in the ILIAS-Admin-GUI.

Upload a certificate. For testing create your own certificate e.g. with the Java Keytool:

• keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -alias selfsigned -keystore key.keystore -storepass password -validity 360 -keysize 2048

Before the test, activate:

• Enable Archiving
• Digitally sign test submissions

After the test create the export "Test Archive File". The signed PDFs will be stored inside.

Requires Java 7 or newer.
