The following example demonstrates how to add digital signature from a PFX certificate in PowerPoint Presentation.

[C#]
// Initialize Presentation instance
using (Presentation pres = new Presentation())
{
    // Create DigitalSignature object with PFX file and PFX password
    DigitalSignature signature = new DigitalSignature("testsignature1.pfx", @"testpass1");
    // Comment new digital signature
    signature.Comments = "Aspose.Slides digital signing test.";
    // Add digital signature to presentation
    pres.DigitalSignatures.Add(signature);
    // Save presentation
    pres.Save("SomePresentationSigned.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
}

The following sample code demonstrates how to validate digital signature of PowerPoint Presentation.

[C#]
// Initialize Presentation instance
using (Presentation pres = new Presentation("SomePresentationSigned.pptx"))
{
    if (pres.DigitalSignatures.Count < 0)
    {
        bool allSignaturesAreValid = true;
        Console.WriteLine("Signatures used to sign the presentation: ");
        // Check if all digital signatures are valid
        foreach (DigitalSignature signature in pres.DigitalSignatures)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(signature.Certificate.SubjectName.Name + ", "
                    + signature.SignTime.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm") + " -- " + (signature.IsValid ? "VALID" : "INVALID"));
            allSignaturesAreValid &= signature.IsValid;
        }
        if (allSignaturesAreValid)
            Console.WriteLine("Presentation is genuine, all signatures are valid.");
        else
            Console.WriteLine("Presentation has been modified since signing.");
    }
}
