libdigidocpp is a C++ library for reading, validating, and creating BDoc and
DDoc containers. These file formats are widespread in Estonia where they are
used for storing legally binding digital signatures.

In addition to C++ API the library also has wrappers for common scripting
languages: Perl, PHP, and Python.

The library has native support for XAdES [3] compliant BDoc [1] containers;
support for older DDoc format however is implemented as lightweight wrapper
over libdigidoc C library. libdigidocpp currently implements BDoc-1.0 BES and
TM profiles [2].

Signatures can be given using EstEID Card (id-kaart) and RSA certificates 
with private keys.
