如何在 Docker 中使用 C# 確保 PDF API 的安全

The secure PDF API is a powerful tool that enables developers to embed security features into PDFs and utilize them within their workflows and applications. As the need to secure sensitive data continues to grow, secure PDFs become essential. They offer features such as watermarks, password protection, encryption, and digital signatures to prevent data breaches or leakage. These APIs enable organizations to save and share PDFs securely, protecting them from unauthorized access, modification, and distribution. Secure PDF APIs are a primary method for organizations to protect digital documents.

What is a PDF document?

The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format widely adopted globally for the reliable presentation and exchange of documents across different devices and platforms. PDFs, developed by Adobe in the early 1990s, ensure consistent formatting, fonts, images, and layout, making documents appear identical across all devices and browsers.

PDFs can include text, images, hyperlinks, forms, and security features like encryption, passwords, and digital signatures. Platform-independent, they can be viewed on almost any device using readers like Adobe Acrobat or web browsers.

PDFs are ideal for sharing, copying, and archiving since they prevent accidental edits or appearance changes. They are widely used in official documents, contracts, eBooks, manuals, and other contexts, making them a reliable choice for professional and personal use.

What is Docker?

Docker is an open-source platform that simplifies the creation, deployment, and management of applications through containerization. Containerization packages an application and its dependencies into a standalone unit, ensuring predictable operation in various environments. Containers are portable, lightweight, and easy to manage.

Docker Features

  • Portability: Containers run on any platform without modification, from development machines to production environments.
  • Isolation: Each container operates independently, preventing interference between applications and their dependencies.
  • Efficiency: Sharing the host system's kernel, containers are lightweight compared to virtual machines.
  • Easy Deployment: Docker speeds up application deployment with minimal setup, facilitating continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD).

Components of Docker

  • Docker Engine: The backbone of Docker, managing container build, run, and management.
  • Docker Images: Read-only templates for creating containers, including application code, runtime environments, and dependencies.
  • Docker Container: A runtime instance of a Docker image.
  • Docker Hub: Cloud-based storage for sharing and publishing Docker images.

Docker plays a key role in modern DevOps cycles by ensuring predictability and speed in application deployment.

docker container run --rm -p 8080:8080 -e IronSecureDoc_LicenseKey=<IRONSECUREDOC_LICENSE_KEY> -e ENVIRONMENT=Development -e HTTP_PORTS=8080 ironsoftwareofficial/ironsecuredoc:latest
# Run IronSecureDoc in a Docker container with specified environment variables
docker container run --rm -p 8080:8080 -e IronSecureDoc_LicenseKey=<IRONSECUREDOC_LICENSE_KEY> -e ENVIRONMENT=Development -e HTTP_PORTS=8080 ironsoftwareofficial/ironsecuredoc:latest
SHELL

Adding Password to a PDF Document

The REST API of IronSecureDoc is a modern, web-based interface enabling developers to safely interact with the software's document management and PDF processing features. Utilizing RESTful principles, this API offers a simple way to integrate IronSecureDoc functions into applications, regardless of technology stack.

For password encryption of a PDF document, you can post a request to the IronSecureDoc API as follows:

# Use curl to encrypt a PDF document with a user password
curl -X 'POST' \
  'http://localhost:8080/v1/document-services/pdfs/encrypt?user_password=demo' \
  -H 'accept: */*' \
  -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
  -F 'pdf_file=@test.pdf;type=application/pdf'
# Use curl to encrypt a PDF document with a user password
curl -X 'POST' \
  'http://localhost:8080/v1/document-services/pdfs/encrypt?user_password=demo' \
  -H 'accept: */*' \
  -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
  -F 'pdf_file=@test.pdf;type=application/pdf'
SHELL

This command encrypts and securely stores the PDF document.

Signing a PDF Document

Here's a sample code to digitally sign a PDF using a certificate:

# Use curl to digitally certify a PDF document
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:8080/v1/document-services/pdfs/certify' \
  -H 'accept: */*' \
  -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
  -F 'pdf_file=@Demo.pdf;type=application/pdf' \
  -F 'certificate_file=@DemoSign.pfx;type=application/x-pkcs12' \
  -F 'certificate_password="p4ssw0rd"' \
  -F 'certificate_permissions=1'
# Use curl to digitally certify a PDF document
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:8080/v1/document-services/pdfs/certify' \
  -H 'accept: */*' \
  -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
  -F 'pdf_file=@Demo.pdf;type=application/pdf' \
  -F 'certificate_file=@DemoSign.pfx;type=application/x-pkcs12' \
  -F 'certificate_password="p4ssw0rd"' \
  -F 'certificate_permissions=1'
SHELL

This command processes the PDF, uses the certificate to sign it, and saves the output as certify.pdf.
