Encryption
You can encrypt a PDF document with a password or a certificate that renders the document unreadable to anyone
who does not have the password or a private key to open the file. The private key needed to open a certificate-encrypted
file, must correspond to the public key used to encrypt the document.
XML Encryption and Decryption
You can use the encryption service to protect XML data in XFA forms. You can encrypt the entire XML from the root
node, or provide an XPath expression that points to the exact node or tag to be encrypted. To decrypt the document,
the user must have a private key that can be used to unlock the content in a PDF document. You must know the user
credential of the person for whom the XML is encrypted, and must provide the same credentials to the Encryption
service. The Encryption services looks up the Truststore, where user credentials are private keys are paired and stored.
