# XMLSig Component

The XMLSig component is used to sign XML and verify signed XML.

## Syntax

```text
TipcXMLSig
```

## Remarks

The XMLSig component provides an easy to use API for signing and verifying signed XML. The [Sign](#sign-method-xmlsig-component) method will create signed XML with an enveloped signature. The [VerifySignature](#verifysignature-method-xmlsig-component) method will attempt to verify the signature(s) within a XML document.

**Sign**

Before calling [Sign](#sign-method-xmlsig-component) specify the XML to sign by setting [InputFile](#inputfile-property-xmlsig-component), or [InputXML](#inputxml-property-xmlsig-component).

The [References](#references-property-xmlsig-component) property must be set. At least one reference must be set. A reference defines the XML element to sign, and the options that specify how it is transformed and hashed during the signing process.

Set [Certificate](#certificate-property-xmlsig-component) to a certificate with private key.

Optionally set the [CanonicalizationMethod](#canonicalizationmethod-property-xmlsig-component). This determines how the signature itself is canonicalized. [SigningAlgorithm](#signingalgorithm-property-xmlsig-component) defines the algorithm used to sign. The [SignatureXPath](#signaturexpath-property-xmlsig-component) property may be set to specify the location in the XML document where the signature will be placed.

Lastly, call [Sign](#sign-method-xmlsig-component) to sign the XML.

The following properties are applicable when calling this method:

- [CanonicalizationMethod](#canonicalizationmethod-property-xmlsig-component)
- [Certificate](#certificate-property-xmlsig-component) (required)
- [References](#references-property-xmlsig-component) (required)
- [SignatureXPath](#signaturexpath-property-xmlsig-component)
- [SigningAlgorithm](#signingalgorithm-property-xmlsig-component)

**Input and Output Properties**

The component will determine the source and destination of the input and output based on which properties are set.

The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:

- [InputFile](#inputfile-property-xmlsig-component)
- [InputXML](#inputxml-property-xmlsig-component)

 When a valid source is found, the search stops. The order in which the output properties are checked is as follows:

- [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-xmlsig-component)
- [OutputXML](#outputxml-property-xmlsig-component): The output data is written to this property if no other destination is specified.

**Verify a Signature**

When [VerifySignature](#verifysignature-method-xmlsig-component) is called, the component will scan the XML document and fire the [SignatureInfo](#signatureinfo-event-xmlsig-component) event for each signature that is found. When the [SignatureInfo](#signatureinfo-event-xmlsig-component) event fires the [References](#references-property-xmlsig-component) collection will be populated.

Within the [SignatureInfo](#signatureinfo-event-xmlsig-component) event the [XMLElement](#XMLSigReference_f_XMLElement) property must be set to the location of the XML element to which the signature applies. The [URI](#XMLSigReference_f_URI) property may contain data helpful to locating the XML element.

The [XMLElement](#XMLSigReference_f_XMLElement) property specifies the XPath to the element. For instance:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| /root/myElement | XPath syntax |
| /root/[1] | XPath syntax using an index |
| /root/ns:myElement | XPath syntax where the element has a namespace |
| myElement | Just the element name |
| @id=myid | Attribute selector: This will select an element with an attribute "id" whose value is "myid". |
| /root/myElement[1]/ns:name2[@attr=attrValue] | XPath syntax using an index and attribute selector |

The signature is verified either using a key parsed from the signed XML, or using the certificate specified by the [SignerCert](#signercert-property-xmlsig-component) property. The component will automatically parse the signer certificate (if present) from the signed XML and populate the [SignerCert](#signercert-property-xmlsig-component) property with the parsed value.

When [SignatureInfo](#signatureinfo-event-xmlsig-component) fires, if the *SignerCertParsed* parameter is True the [SignerCert](#signercert-property-xmlsig-component) property may be inspected to see the details of the parsed certificate. If *SignerCertParsed* is False, then the [SignerCert](#signercert-property-xmlsig-component) property must be set to a valid certificate for signature verification to proceed.

When the [SignatureInfo](#signatureinfo-event-xmlsig-component) event finishes firing, the certificate present in the [SignerCert](#signercert-property-xmlsig-component) property will be used to verify the signature, whether this is the certificate automatically parsed by the component or a different certificate specified within the event.

If the signature was successfully verified the method will return without error. If the signature was not verified the method raises an exception.

# Config Method ([XMLSig](#xmlsig-component) Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

## Syntax

*Delphi Syntax*

```text
function Config(ConfigurationString: String): String;
```

## Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve [configuration settings](#config-settings-xmlsig-component) for the component.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these *internal properties* is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named *PROPERTY*, you must call *Config("PROPERTY=VALUE")*, where *VALUE* is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a [configuration setting](#config-settings-xmlsig-component), you must call *Config("PROPERTY")*. The value will be returned as a string.

# DoEvents Method ([XMLSig](#xmlsig-component) Component)

This method processes events from the internal message queue.

## Syntax

*Delphi Syntax*

```text
procedure DoEvents();
```

## Remarks

When DoEvents is called, the component processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.

# Reset Method ([XMLSig](#xmlsig-component) Component)

Resets the component.

## Syntax

*Delphi Syntax*

```text
procedure Reset();
```

## Remarks

When called, the component will reset all of its properties to their default values.

# SetInputStream Method ([XMLSig](#xmlsig-component) Component)

Sets the stream from which the component will read data to sign or verify.

## Syntax

*Delphi Syntax*

```text
procedure SetInputStream(InputStream: TStream);
```

## Remarks

This method sets the stream from which the component will read data to sign or verify. If an input stream is set before calling [Sign](#sign-method-xmlsig-component) or [VerifySignature](#verifysignature-method-xmlsig-component), the data is read from the input stream instead of from the [InputFile](#inputfile-property-xmlsig-component) or [InputXML](#inputxml-property-xmlsig-component) properties.

The content of the stream will be read from the current position all the way to the end and no bytes will be skipped.

**Input and Output Properties**

The component will determine the source and destination of the input and output based on which properties are set.

The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:

- [InputFile](#inputfile-property-xmlsig-component)
- [InputXML](#inputxml-property-xmlsig-component)

 When a valid source is found, the search stops. The order in which the output properties are checked is as follows:

- [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-xmlsig-component)
- [OutputXML](#outputxml-property-xmlsig-component): The output data is written to this property if no other destination is specified.

# SetOutputStream Method ([XMLSig](#xmlsig-component) Component)

The stream to which the component will write the signed or verified XML.

## Syntax

*Delphi Syntax*

```text
procedure SetOutputStream(OutputStream: TStream);
```

## Remarks

This method sets the stream to which the component will write the signed or verified XML. If an output stream is set before calling [Sign](#sign-method-xmlsig-component) or [VerifySignature](#verifysignature-method-xmlsig-component), the component will write the data to the output stream instead of populating [OutputXML](#outputxml-property-xmlsig-component) or writing to [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-xmlsig-component).

**Input and Output Properties**

The component will determine the source and destination of the input and output based on which properties are set.

The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:

- [InputFile](#inputfile-property-xmlsig-component)
- [InputXML](#inputxml-property-xmlsig-component)

 When a valid source is found, the search stops. The order in which the output properties are checked is as follows:

- [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-xmlsig-component)
- [OutputXML](#outputxml-property-xmlsig-component): The output data is written to this property if no other destination is specified.

# Sign Method ([XMLSig](#xmlsig-component) Component)

Signs the XML.

## Syntax

*Delphi Syntax*

```text
procedure Sign();
```

## Remarks

This methods signs the XML.

Before calling Sign specify the XML to sign by setting [InputFile](#inputfile-property-xmlsig-component), or [InputXML](#inputxml-property-xmlsig-component).

The [References](#references-property-xmlsig-component) property must be set. At least one reference must be set. A reference defines the XML element to sign, and the options that specify how it is transformed and hashed during the signing process.

Set [Certificate](#certificate-property-xmlsig-component) to a certificate with private key.

Optionally set the [CanonicalizationMethod](#canonicalizationmethod-property-xmlsig-component). This determines how the signature itself is canonicalized. [SigningAlgorithm](#signingalgorithm-property-xmlsig-component) defines the algorithm used to sign. The [SignatureXPath](#signaturexpath-property-xmlsig-component) property may be set to specify the location in the XML document where the signature will be placed.

Lastly, call Sign to sign the XML.

The following properties are applicable when calling this method:

- [CanonicalizationMethod](#canonicalizationmethod-property-xmlsig-component)
- [Certificate](#certificate-property-xmlsig-component) (required)
- [References](#references-property-xmlsig-component) (required)
- [SignatureXPath](#signaturexpath-property-xmlsig-component)
- [SigningAlgorithm](#signingalgorithm-property-xmlsig-component)

**Input and Output Properties**

The component will determine the source and destination of the input and output based on which properties are set.

The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:

- [InputFile](#inputfile-property-xmlsig-component)
- [InputXML](#inputxml-property-xmlsig-component)

 When a valid source is found, the search stops. The order in which the output properties are checked is as follows:

- [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-xmlsig-component)
- [OutputXML](#outputxml-property-xmlsig-component): The output data is written to this property if no other destination is specified.

# VerifySignature Method ([XMLSig](#xmlsig-component) Component)

Verifies signed XML.

## Syntax

*Delphi Syntax*

```text
procedure VerifySignature();
```

## Remarks

This method verifies signatures contained in the XML.

When VerifySignature is called, the component will scan the XML document and fire the [SignatureInfo](#signatureinfo-event-xmlsig-component) event for each signature that is found. When the [SignatureInfo](#signatureinfo-event-xmlsig-component) event fires the [References](#references-property-xmlsig-component) collection will be populated.

Within the [SignatureInfo](#signatureinfo-event-xmlsig-component) event the [XMLElement](#XMLSigReference_f_XMLElement) property must be set to the location of the XML element to which the signature applies. The [URI](#XMLSigReference_f_URI) property may contain data helpful to locating the XML element.

The [XMLElement](#XMLSigReference_f_XMLElement) property specifies the XPath to the element. For instance:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| /root/myElement | XPath syntax |
| /root/[1] | XPath syntax using an index |
| /root/ns:myElement | XPath syntax where the element has a namespace |
| myElement | Just the element name |
| @id=myid | Attribute selector: This will select an element with an attribute "id" whose value is "myid". |
| /root/myElement[1]/ns:name2[@attr=attrValue] | XPath syntax using an index and attribute selector |

The signature is verified either using a key parsed from the signed XML, or using the certificate specified by the [SignerCert](#signercert-property-xmlsig-component) property. The component will automatically parse the signer certificate (if present) from the signed XML and populate the [SignerCert](#signercert-property-xmlsig-component) property with the parsed value.

When [SignatureInfo](#signatureinfo-event-xmlsig-component) fires, if the *SignerCertParsed* parameter is True the [SignerCert](#signercert-property-xmlsig-component) property may be inspected to see the details of the parsed certificate. If *SignerCertParsed* is False, then the [SignerCert](#signercert-property-xmlsig-component) property must be set to a valid certificate for signature verification to proceed.

When the [SignatureInfo](#signatureinfo-event-xmlsig-component) event finishes firing, the certificate present in the [SignerCert](#signercert-property-xmlsig-component) property will be used to verify the signature, whether this is the certificate automatically parsed by the component or a different certificate specified within the event.

If the signature was successfully verified the method will return without error. If the signature was not verified the method raises an exception.

# Error Event ([XMLSig](#xmlsig-component) Component)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

## Syntax

*Delphi Syntax*

```text
type TErrorEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  ErrorCode: Integer;
  const Description: String
) of Object;
property OnError: TErrorEvent read FOnError write FOnError;
```

## Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the component raises an exception.

The *ErrorCode* parameter contains an error code, and the *Description* parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the [Error Codes](#trappable-errors-xmlsig-component) section.

# Progress Event ([XMLSig](#xmlsig-component) Component)

Fired as progress is made.

## Syntax

*Delphi Syntax*

```text
type TProgressEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  BytesProcessed: Int64;
  PercentProcessed: Integer;
  Operation: Integer;
  var IsEOF: Boolean
) of Object;
property OnProgress: TProgressEvent read FOnProgress write FOnProgress;
```

## Remarks

This event is fired automatically as data is processed by the component.

The *PercentProcessed* parameter indicates the current status of the operation.

The *BytesProcessed* parameter holds the total number of bytes processed so far.

The *Operation* parameter is only applicable when either [ReadFromProgressEvent](#ReadFromProgressEvent) or [WriteToProgressEvent](#WriteToProgressEvent) is set to True. This parameter defines whether a Read or Write operation is required. If the configuration settings are not set this parameter will always return 0. Possible values are:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 0 | None |
| 1 | Read |
| 2 | Write |

The *IsEOF* parameter is only applicable when either [ReadFromProgressEvent](#ReadFromProgressEvent) or [WriteToProgressEvent](#WriteToProgressEvent) is set to True. This parameter defines whether the Read or Write operation is complete. When the *Operation* is Read (1) this parameter must be set to indicate that all data has been supplied to the component. When the *Operation* is Write (2) this value may be queried to determine when all data has been processed.

# SignatureInfo Event ([XMLSig](#xmlsig-component) Component)

Fired when a signature is found.

## Syntax

*Delphi Syntax*

```text
type TSignatureInfoEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  const SignatureId: String;
  SignerCertParsed: Boolean
) of Object;
property OnSignatureInfo: TSignatureInfoEvent read FOnSignatureInfo write FOnSignatureInfo;
```

## Remarks

This event fires when calling [VerifySignature](#verifysignature-method-xmlsig-component) for each signature found within the XML document.

*SignatureId* is the id of the signature.

*SignerCertParsed* indicates whether the signer's certificate was automatically parsed from the signed XML.

**Verification Notes**

When [VerifySignature](#verifysignature-method-xmlsig-component) is called, the component will scan the XML document and fire the SignatureInfo event for each signature that is found. When the SignatureInfo event fires the [References](#references-property-xmlsig-component) collection will be populated.

Within the SignatureInfo event the [XMLElement](#XMLSigReference_f_XMLElement) property must be set to the location of the XML element to which the signature applies. The [URI](#XMLSigReference_f_URI) property may contain data helpful to locating the XML element.

The [XMLElement](#XMLSigReference_f_XMLElement) property specifies the XPath to the element. For instance:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| /root/myElement | XPath syntax |
| /root/[1] | XPath syntax using an index |
| /root/ns:myElement | XPath syntax where the element has a namespace |
| myElement | Just the element name |
| @id=myid | Attribute selector: This will select an element with an attribute "id" whose value is "myid". |
| /root/myElement[1]/ns:name2[@attr=attrValue] | XPath syntax using an index and attribute selector |

The signature is verified either using a key parsed from the signed XML, or using the certificate specified by the [SignerCert](#signercert-property-xmlsig-component) property. The component will automatically parse the signer certificate (if present) from the signed XML and populate the [SignerCert](#signercert-property-xmlsig-component) property with the parsed value.

When SignatureInfo fires, if the *SignerCertParsed* parameter is True the [SignerCert](#signercert-property-xmlsig-component) property may be inspected to see the details of the parsed certificate. If *SignerCertParsed* is False, then the [SignerCert](#signercert-property-xmlsig-component) property must be set to a valid certificate for signature verification to proceed.

When the SignatureInfo event finishes firing, the certificate present in the [SignerCert](#signercert-property-xmlsig-component) property will be used to verify the signature, whether this is the certificate automatically parsed by the component or a different certificate specified within the event.

If the signature was successfully verified the method will return without error. If the signature was not verified the method raises an exception.

# Status Event ([XMLSig](#xmlsig-component) Component)

Provides information about the current operation.

## Syntax

*Delphi Syntax*

```text
type TStatusEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  const Message: String
) of Object;

                               "CN=cert_subject");
sftp.SSHUser = "test";
sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);
```

```csharp
certmgr.CertStoreType = CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11;
certmgr.OnCertList += (s, e) => {
  secKeyBlob = e.CertEncoded;
};
certmgr.CertStore = @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll";
certmgr.CertStorePassword = "123456"; // PIN
certmgr.ListStoreCertificates();

sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, secKeyBlob, "123456", "*");
sftp.SSHUser = "test";
sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);
```

# Config Settings ([XMLSig](#xmlsig-component) Component)

 The component accepts one or more of the following *configuration settings*. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these *internal properties* is provided through the [Config](#config-method-xmlsig-component) method.

### XMLSig Config Settings

**KeyName**: The name of the key used to sign the XML.This setting optionally holds the key name which may be useful to the recipient to help identify the key used to create the signature. This may be set before calling [Sign](#sign-method-xmlsig-component). When calling [VerifySignature](#verifysignature-method-xmlsig-component) this may be queried inside the [SignatureInfo](#signatureinfo-event-xmlsig-component) event.

Note that this value is only informative, it does not affect processing.

**LogLevel**: Specifies the level of detail that is logged.This setting controls the level of detail that is logged through the [Status](#status-event-xmlsig-component) event. Possible values are:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 0 (None) | No events are logged. |
| 1 (Info - default) | Informational events are logged. |
| 2 (Verbose) | Detailed data is logged. |
| 3 (Debug) | Debug data is logged. |

**NormalizeLineEndings**: Whether to normalize line endings when calculating the reference digest.This setting specifies whether to normalize line endings when calculating the reference digest. When set to True all line endings will be converted to LF. The default value is True.

**PreserveWhitespace**: Whether to preserve whitespace in the signature.This setting specifies whether whitespace is preserved when canonicalizing XML. The default value is False.

**ReadFromProgressEvent**: Whether to read input data from inside the progress event.When set to True this setting allows input data to be specified from within the [Progress](#progress-event-xmlsig-component) event. The component will repeatedly fire the [Progress](#progress-event-xmlsig-component) event to ask for data. Inside the event set [InputXML](#inputxml-property-xmlsig-component) when the *Operation* parameter of the event is 1 (Read). When all data has been provided set the *IsEOF* parameter of the event to True. This allows input data to be chunked and provided piece by piece. The default value is False.

**SignatureRelationship**: Whether the signature is a child or sibling of the SignatureXPath. This setting specifies whether the created signature is included as a child or sibling of the element specified by [SignatureXPath](#signaturexpath-property-xmlsig-component). If this is set to 0 (default), the signature is inserted as a child of the element. If this is set to 1, the signature is inserted as a sibling after the element. The default value is 0 (child).

Example: SignatureRelationship is set to 0 (child - default)

```text
xmlsig1.SignatureXPath = "/root/node1";
```

 Produces XML like:

```text
<root>
  <node1>
    <ds:Signature>...</ds:Signature>
  </node1>
  <node2></node2>
  <node3></node3>
</root>
```

Example: SignatureRelationship is set to 1 (sibling)

```text
xmlsig1.SignatureXPath = "/root/node1";
xmlsig1.Config("SignatureRelationship=1");
```

 Produces XML like:

```text
<root>
  <node1></node1>
  <ds:Signature>...</ds:Signature>
  <node2></node2>
  <node3></node3>
</root>
```

**SignerCertCount**: The number of parsed signer certificates when verifying a signature.This setting is populated when calling [VerifySignature](#verifysignature-method-xmlsig-component). It holds the number of signer certificates that were parsed from the message. In most cases a single certificate is present and [SignerCert](#signercert-property-xmlsig-component) is populated. In some cases, multiple certificates in a chain may be present, in that case each parsed certificate can be accessed via this property and [SignerCertEncoded](#SignerCertEncoded). For instance:

```text
int certCount = Int32.Parse(xmlsig.Config("SignerCertCount"));
for(int i=0;i<certCount;i++)
{
  Console.WriteLine(xmlsig.Config("SignerCertEncoded[ " + i + "]"));
}
```

**SignerCertEncoded[i]**: The parsed signer certificate.This setting is used in conjunction with [SignerCertCount](#SignerCertCount) to retrieve the base64 encoded signer certificate parsed from the message. Valid values for the index are from 0 to [SignerCertCount](#SignerCertCount) - 1. SignerCertEncoded

**SignWithCryptoAPI**: Whether to use the Crypto API for signing operations.This setting determines whether to use the Microsoft Crypto API to sign. This is helpful in cases where the certificate is present in the Windows Certificate Store but the private key is not marked as exportable. For instance when using a USB security key. The default value is False.

Note: This functionality is only available on Windows.

**WriteToProgressEvent**: Whether to write output data so it is accessible from inside the progress event.When set to True this setting allows output data to be obtained from within the [Progress](#progress-event-xmlsig-component) event. The component will repeatedly fire the [Progress](#progress-event-xmlsig-component) event to provide output data. Inside the event check [OutputXML](#outputxml-property-xmlsig-component) when the *Operation* parameter of the event is 2 (Write). The *IsEOF* parameter should be checked inside the event to determine when all output data has been provided. This allows output data to be chunked and obtained piece by piece. The default value is False.

### Base Config Settings

**BuildInfo**: Information about the product's build.When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

**CodePage**: The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).

**LicenseInfo**: Information about the current license.When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a component is using. It will return the following information:

- Product: The product the license is for.
- Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
- License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
- License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
- Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.

**MaskSensitiveData**: Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to *True* to mask sensitive data. The default is *True*.

**UseFIPSCompliantAPI**: Tells the component whether or not to use FIPS certified APIs.When set to *True*, the component will utilize the underlying operating system's certified APIs. Java editions, regardless of OS, utilize Bouncy Castle Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS), while all other Windows editions make use of Microsoft security libraries.

FIPS mode can be enabled by setting the *UseFIPSCompliantAPI* configuration setting to *True*. This is a static setting that applies to all instances of all components of the toolkit within the process. It is recommended to enable or disable this setting once before the component has been used to establish a connection. Enabling FIPS while an instance of the component is active and connected may result in unexpected behavior.

For more details, please see the [FIPS 140-2 Compliance](https://www.nsoftware.com/kb/articles/fips.rst) article.

NOTE: This setting is applicable only on Windows.

NOTE: Enabling FIPS compliance requires a special license; please contact [sales@nsoftware.com](mailto:sales@nsoftware.com) for details.

**UseInternalSecurityAPI**: Whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation. When set to *False*, the component will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable.

Setting this configuration setting to *True* tells the component to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.

 This setting is set to *False* by default on all platforms.
