Does digidoc4j support the validation of ASIC-E or ASIC-S containers that use the CAdES signature format?

Hi, we tried validating container with the CAdES signatures but they cause errors. Is this supported in digidoc4j?

[naare]

No, Digidoc4j only supports XAdES based signatures.

Thank you, is there any rationale for this choice not to support CAdES? @naare

Digidoc4j was created as Estonian specific library. Estonia has standardized and used only XAdES based signatures so far.

If you need to handle CAdES signatures you can directly use DSS library (provided by EU). https://github.com/esig/dss
