    <input type="signature"
           handler="verisign"               // handler used to verify this signature
           keystore="file:/privatekey.jks"  // URL of the keystore
           keystoretype="JKS-SUN"           // type of keystore
           password="storepassword"         // password to unlock the keystore
           alias="secretkey"                // key from the keystore to use
           keypassword="secretkeypassword"  // password to unlock the key, if required
           signer="John Smith"              // name to place on the signature
           reason="I am the author"         // reason you're signing the document
