Parameters

Signature - newly created signature will be placed here
SubjectSignature - signature to be signed
TimeStamp - time stamp
Key - subkey to be bound to the key
EmbeddedSignature - if Key can be used for signing the second signature can be placed here. This parameter is optional.
PublicKey - some public key
User - the TElPGPUserID or TElPGPUserAttr object that specifies the owner of the Key
CertType - certification type

Protection type values

[.NET] [Pascal] [ActiveX] Description

ctGeneric = 0 Generic certification of a User ID and Public Key packet.
The issuer of this certification does not make any particular assertion as to how well the certifier has checked that the owner of the key is in fact the person described by the User ID. By default user certifications use Generic type.

ctPersona = 1 Persona certification of a User ID and Public Key packet.
The issuer of this certification has not done any verification of the claim that the owner of this key is the User ID specified.

ctCasual = 2 Casual certification of a User ID and Public Key packet.
The issuer of this certification has done some casual verification of the claim of identity.

ctPositive = 3 Positive certification of a User ID and Public Key packet.
The issuer of this certification has done substantial verification of the claim of identity.

Description

    Use this method to produce different kinds of signatures.
    (1) Makes a third-party certification of the SubjectSignature.
    (2) Produces a timestamp signature.
    (3) Produces a subkey/primary key binding signature.
    (4) Produces a user certification signature.
