# XMLEncrypt Class

The XMLEncrypt class is used to encrypt and decrypt XML.

## Syntax

```text
class ipworksencrypt.XMLEncrypt
```

## Remarks

The XMLEncrypt class provides a simple API for encrypting and decrypting XML. The [encrypt](#encrypt-method) method will encrypt the XML document, or a specific element. Multiple elements may be encrypted at one time by setting encrypted_data_details. The [decrypt](#decrypt-method) method will decrypt the XML document.

The class supports encrypting and decrypting with a shared [symmetric_key](#symmetric_key-property), and also using asymmetric encryption to encrypt the [symmetric_key](#symmetric_key-property) (session key) via the recipient_cert and certificate properties.

**Encrypt**

To begin first specify a XML document by setting [input_file](#input_file-property), or [input_xml](#input_xml-property).

The encrypted_data_details property specify the XML element to encrypt. By default the entire XML document is encrypted.

The [symmetric_key](#symmetric_key-property) property specifies the key which will be used to encrypt the data.

If the recipient_cert property is set, then the [symmetric_key](#symmetric_key-property) will be encrypted and included in the encrypted data. This allows for the recipient to decrypt the key, with their certificate. Encrypting the symmetric key is also referred to as using a session key. The benefit of using certificate to encrypt and decrypt a session key ([symmetric_key](#symmetric_key-property)) is that knowledge of the key value is not needed ahead of time to process the encrypted data. Note that if specified, recipient_cert MUST have a RSA key, not a DSA key.

If the recipient_cert property is not set, then the recipient must know the value of [symmetric_key](#symmetric_key-property) before decrypting the XML. The [KeyName](#KeyName) setting may be set to provide a key identifier to the recipient.

Optionally set [encrypting_algorithm](#encrypting_algorithm-property), and then call [encrypt](#encrypt-method) to encrypt the XML.

The following properties are applicable when calling this method:

- [symmetric_key](#symmetric_key-property) (required)
- [encrypting_algorithm](#encrypting_algorithm-property)
- encrypted_data_details
- recipient_cert
- [KeyName](#KeyName)

**Input and Output Properties**

The class 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:

- [input_file](#input_file-property)
- [input_xml](#input_xml-property)

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

- [output_file](#output_file-property)
- [output_xml](#output_xml-property): The output data is written to this property if no other destination is specified.

**Decrypt**

To begin first specify a XML document by setting [input_file](#input_file-property), or [input_xml](#input_xml-property).

The [symmetric_key](#symmetric_key-property) property specifies the key used to decrypt the data. This may be set before calling [decrypt](#decrypt-method) or inside the [on_encrypted_data_info](#on_encrypted_data_info-event) event. The [on_encrypted_data_info](#on_encrypted_data_info-event) event fires once for each encrypted element when [decrypt](#decrypt-method) is called.

If the data was encrypted using an session key, set the certificate property to the certificate with private key before calling [decrypt](#decrypt-method). The certificate will be used to decrypt the encrypted session key. In this case the [symmetric_key](#symmetric_key-property) property is ignored.

The following properties are applicable when calling this method:

- [symmetric_key](#symmetric_key-property)
- certificate

**Input and Output Properties**

The class 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:

- [input_file](#input_file-property)
- [input_xml](#input_xml-property)

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

- [output_file](#output_file-property)
- [output_xml](#output_xml-property): The output data is written to this property if no other destination is specified.

If [recipient_cert_store](#recipient_cert_store-property) has a value, and [recipient_cert_subject](#recipient_cert_subject-property) or [recipient_cert_encoded](#recipient_cert_encoded-property) is set, a search for a certificate is initiated. Please see the [recipient_cert_subject](#recipient_cert_subject-property) property for details.

 Designations of certificate stores are platform dependent.

The following designations are the most common User and Machine certificate stores in Windows:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| MY | A certificate store holding personal certificates with their associated private keys. |
| CA | Certifying authority certificates. |
| ROOT | Root certificates. |

When the certificate store type is *cstPFXFile*, this property must be set to the name of the file. When the type is *cstPFXBlob*, the property must be set to the binary contents of a PFX file (i.e., PKCS#12 certificate store).

# recipient_cert_store_password property

If the type of certificate store requires a password, this property is used to specify the password needed to open the certificate store.

## Syntax

```text
def get_recipient_cert_store_password() -> str: ...
def set_recipient_cert_store_password(value: str) -> None: ...
recipient_cert_store_password = property(get_recipient_cert_store_password, set_recipient_cert_store_password)
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

If the type of certificate store requires a password, this property is used to specify the password needed to open the certificate store.

# recipient_cert_store_type property

The type of certificate store for this certificate.

## Syntax

```text
def get_recipient_cert_store_type() -> int: ...
def set_recipient_cert_store_type(value: int) -> None: ...
recipient_cert_store_type = property(get_recipient_cert_store_type, set_recipient_cert_store_type)
```

## Possible Values

The type of certificate store for this certificate.

 The class supports both public and private keys in a variety of formats. When the *cstAuto* value is used, the class will automatically determine the type. This property can take one of the following values:

```csharp
sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11,
                               @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll",
                               "123456", // PIN
                               "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);
```

## Syntax

```text
def get_symmetric_key() -> bytes: ...
def set_symmetric_key(value: bytes) -> None: ...
symmetric_key = property(get_symmetric_key, set_symmetric_key)
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

This property specifies the symmetric key used to encrypt and decrypt the XML.

**Encrypt Notes**

When calling [encrypt](#encrypt-method) if the recipient_cert property is set, then the symmetric_key will be encrypted and included in the XML as an encrypted key. Using asymmetric encryption to encrypt the symmetric_key allows for secure transmission of the key. This is also referred to as using a session key, as no prior knowledge of the symmetric_key is required by the recipient.

If the recipient_cert property is set and symmetric_key is left empty, then a symmetric_key value will automatically be generated by the class when [encrypt](#encrypt-method) is called.

When calling [encrypt](#encrypt-method) if the recipient_cert property is are not set, then the symmetric_key value must be known by the recipient before the message can be decrypted.

**Decrypt Notes**

When calling [decrypt](#decrypt-method) if the data contains an encrypted key the class will attempt to use the certificate specified by the certificate property to decrypt the encrypted key and this property is ignored.

When calling [decrypt](#decrypt-method) if the data does not contain an encrypted key then symmetric_key must be set either before calling [decrypt](#decrypt-method), or within the [on_encrypted_data_info](#on_encrypted_data_info-event) event.

**Legal Key and Block Sizes (in bits)**

|  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  | AES | DES | 3DES |
| Minimum Key Size | 128 | 64 | 128 |
| Maximum Key Size | 256 | 64 | 192 |
| Key Size Step | 64 | 0 | 64 |
| Block Size | 128 | 64 | 64 |

# use_oaep property

Whether to use Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding (OAEP).

## Syntax

```text
def get_use_oaep() -> bool: ...
def set_use_oaep(value: bool) -> None: ...
use_oaep = property(get_use_oaep, set_use_oaep)
```

## Default Value

FALSE

## Remarks

This setting specifies whether to use Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding (OAEP) when encrypting the [symmetric_key](#symmetric_key-property) with the certificate specified by recipient_cert. It is only applicable when calling [encrypt](#encrypt-method) and recipient_cert is specified.

By default this value is False and the class will use PKCS1.

# config method

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

## Syntax

```text
def config(configuration_string: str) -> str: ...
```

## Remarks

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

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, 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](#xmlencrypt-config-settings), you must call *Config("PROPERTY")*. The value will be returned as a string.

# decrypt method

Decrypts the XML.

## Syntax

```text
def decrypt() -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

This method decrypts the specified XML.

To begin first specify a XML document by setting [input_file](#input_file-property), or [input_xml](#input_xml-property).

The [symmetric_key](#symmetric_key-property) property specifies the key used to decrypt the data. This may be set before calling decrypt or inside the [on_encrypted_data_info](#on_encrypted_data_info-event) event. The [on_encrypted_data_info](#on_encrypted_data_info-event) event fires once for each encrypted element when decrypt is called.

If the data was encrypted using an session key, set the certificate property to the certificate with private key before calling decrypt. The certificate will be used to decrypt the encrypted session key. In this case the [symmetric_key](#symmetric_key-property) property is ignored.

The following properties are applicable when calling this method:

- [symmetric_key](#symmetric_key-property)
- certificate

**Input and Output Properties**

The class 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:

- [input_file](#input_file-property)
- [input_xml](#input_xml-property)

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

- [output_file](#output_file-property)
- [output_xml](#output_xml-property): The output data is written to this property if no other destination is specified.

# do_events method

This method processes events from the internal message queue.

## Syntax

```text
def do_events() -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

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

# encrypt method

Encrypts the XML.

## Syntax

```text
def encrypt() -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

This method encrypts the specified XML.

To begin first specify a XML document by setting [input_file](#input_file-property), or [input_xml](#input_xml-property).

The encrypted_data_details property specify the XML element to encrypt. By default the entire XML document is encrypted.

The [symmetric_key](#symmetric_key-property) property specifies the key which will be used to encrypt the data.

If the recipient_cert property is set, then the [symmetric_key](#symmetric_key-property) will be encrypted and included in the encrypted data. This allows for the recipient to decrypt the key, with their certificate. Encrypting the symmetric key is also referred to as using a session key. The benefit of using certificate to encrypt and decrypt a session key ([symmetric_key](#symmetric_key-property)) is that knowledge of the key value is not needed ahead of time to process the encrypted data. Note that if specified, recipient_cert MUST have a RSA key, not a DSA key.

If the recipient_cert property is not set, then the recipient must know the value of [symmetric_key](#symmetric_key-property) before decrypting the XML. The [KeyName](#KeyName) setting may be set to provide a key identifier to the recipient.

Optionally set [encrypting_algorithm](#encrypting_algorithm-property), and then call encrypt to encrypt the XML.

The following properties are applicable when calling this method:

- [symmetric_key](#symmetric_key-property) (required)
- [encrypting_algorithm](#encrypting_algorithm-property)
- encrypted_data_details
- recipient_cert
- [KeyName](#KeyName)

**Input and Output Properties**

The class 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:

- [input_file](#input_file-property)
- [input_xml](#input_xml-property)

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

- [output_file](#output_file-property)
- [output_xml](#output_xml-property): The output data is written to this property if no other destination is specified.

# reset method

Resets the class.

## Syntax

```text
def reset() -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

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

# on_encrypted_data_info event

Fired once for each encrypted element when Decrypt is called.

## Syntax

```text
class XMLEncryptEncryptedDataInfoEventParams(object):
  @property
  def encrypted_data_id() -> str: ...

  @property
  def scope() -> int: ...

  @property
  def mime_type() -> str: ...

# In class XMLEncrypt:
@property
def on_encrypted_data_info() -> Callable[[XMLEncryptEncryptedDataInfoEventParams], None]: ...
@on_encrypted_data_info.setter
def on_encrypted_data_info(event_hook: Callable[[XMLEncryptEncryptedDataInfoEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

This event fires once for each encrypted element in the XML document when [decrypt](#decrypt-method) is called. The parameters of this event provide information about the encrypted data. Additionally, the [KeyName](#KeyName) setting may be queried to identify the encryption key. [symmetric_key](#symmetric_key-property) may be set from within this event.

*EncryptedDataId* is the Id of the encrypted data (if any).

*Scope* indicates the scope of the encrypted data. This defines whether the entire XML element was encrypted, or only the content. Possible values are:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 0 | Element |
| 1 | Content |

*MIMEType* holds the MIME type of the encrypted data (if any). For example: "image/png".

# on_error event

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

## Syntax

```text
class XMLEncryptErrorEventParams(object):
  @property
  def error_code() -> int: ...

  @property
  def description() -> str: ...

# In class XMLEncrypt:
@property
def on_error() -> Callable[[XMLEncryptErrorEventParams], None]: ...
@on_error.setter
def on_error(event_hook: Callable[[XMLEncryptErrorEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

The on_error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class fails with an error.

The *error_code* 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](#xmlencrypt-errors) section.

# on_progress event

Fired as progress is made.

## Syntax

```text
class XMLEncryptProgressEventParams(object):
  @property
  def bytes_processed() -> int: ...

  @property
  def percent_processed() -> int: ...

  @property
  def operation() -> int: ...

  @property
  def is_eof() -> bool: ...
  @is_eof.setter
  def is_eof(value) -> None: ...

# In class XMLEncrypt:
@property
def on_progress() -> Callable[[XMLEncryptProgressEventParams], None]: ...
@on_progress.setter
def on_progress(event_hook: Callable[[XMLEncryptProgressEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

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

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 class. When the *Operation* is Write (2) this value may be queried to determine when all data has been processed.

# on_status event

Provides information about the current operation.

## Syntax

```text
class XMLEncryptStatusEventParams(object):
  @property
  def message() -> str: ...

# In class XMLEncrypt:
@property
def on_status() -> Callable[[XMLEncryptStatusEventParams], None]: ...
@on_status.setter
def on_status(event_hook: Callable[[XMLEncryptStatusEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. It may be used to track the progress of an operation.

The level of detail is controlled by the [LogLevel](#LogLevel) setting.

# XMLEncrypt Config Settings

 The class 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 class, access to these *internal properties* is provided through the [config](#config-method) method.

### XMLEnc Config Settings

**DecryptWithCryptoAPI**: Whether to use the Crypto API for decrypt operations.This setting determines whether to use the Microsoft Crypto API to decrypt. 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.

**EncryptedKeyXPath**: The XPath of the EncryptedKey element.This setting specifies the XPath where the EncryptedKey element will be written. In most cases this does not need to be changed. By default it is included in the EncryptedData element.

**KeyName**: The name of the key used to encrypt the XML.This setting optionally holds the key name which may be useful to the recipient to help identify the key used to encrypt the data. This may be set before calling [encrypt](#encrypt-method). When calling [decrypt](#decrypt-method) this may be queried inside the [on_encrypted_data_info](#on_encrypted_data_info-event) 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 [on_status](#on_status-event) 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. |

**OAEPMGF1HashAlgorithm**: The MGF1 hash algorithm used with OAEP.This configuration setting specifies the MGF1 hash algorithm used when [use_oaep](#use_oaep-property) is set to True. The default value is *SHA256*. Possible values are as follows:

- "SHA1"
- "SHA224"
- "SHA256" (default)
- "SHA384"
- "SHA512"
- "RIPEMD160"
- "MD2"
- "MD5"
- "MD5SHA1"

Note: This setting is not applicable when [UseFIPSCompliantAPI](#UseFIPSCompliantAPI) is set to *True* or when the private key of the signing certificate is not exportable since the underlying system implementation does not support separate [OAEPRSAHashAlgorithm](#OAEPRSAHashAlgorithm) and [OAEPMGF1HashAlgorithm](#OAEPMGF1HashAlgorithm) values. In this case the [OAEPRSAHashAlgorithm](#OAEPRSAHashAlgorithm) is also used for MGF1.

**OAEPParams**: The hex encoded OAEP parameters.This configuration setting optionally specifies Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding (OAEP) parameters to be used when [use_oaep](#use_oaep-property) is set to True. The specified value should be hex encoded.

**OAEPRSAHashAlgorithm**: The RSA hash algorithm used with OAEP.This configuration setting specifies that RSA hash algorithm used when [use_oaep](#use_oaep-property) is set to True. The default value is *SHA256*. Possible values are as follows:

- "SHA1"
- "SHA224"
- "SHA256" (default)
- "SHA384"
- "SHA512"
- "RIPEMD160"
- "MD2"
- "MD5"
- "MD5SHA1"

 The RSA hash algorithm used when encrypting a key.When encryption is enabled, this algorithm specifies the RSA hash algorithm used for the encryption key. This may differ from the hash algorithm used to sign the message content. Possible values are:

- "SHA1" (default)
- "SHA224"
- "SHA256"
- "SHA384"
- "SHA512"

**OAEPRSAHashAlgorithm**: The RSA hash algorithm used with OAEP.This configuration setting specifies that RSA hash algorithm used when [use_oaep](#use_oaep-property) is set to True. The default value is *SHA256*. Possible values are as follows:

**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 [on_progress](#on_progress-event) event. The class will repeatedly fire the [on_progress](#on_progress-event) event to ask for data. Inside the event set [input_xml](#input_xml-property) 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.

**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 [on_progress](#on_progress-event) event. The class will repeatedly fire the [on_progress](#on_progress-event) event to provide output data. Inside the event check [output_xml](#output_xml-property) 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.

**LicenseInfo**: Information about the current license.When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a class 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*.

**ProcessIdleEvents**: Whether the class uses its internal event loop to process events when the main thread is idle.If set to False, the class will not fire internal idle events. Set this to False to use the class in a background thread on Mac OS. By default, this setting is True.

**SelectWaitMillis**: The length of time in milliseconds the class will wait when DoEvents is called if there are no events to process.If there are no events to process when [do_events](#do_events-method) is called, the class will wait for the amount of time specified here before returning. The default value is 20.

**UseFIPSCompliantAPI**: Tells the class whether or not to use FIPS certified APIs.When set to *True*, the class 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 classes 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 class will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable.

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

 On Windows, this setting is set to *False* by default. On Linux/macOS, this setting is set to *True* by default.

 To use the system security libraries for Linux, OpenSSL support must be enabled. For more information on how to enable OpenSSL, please refer to the [OpenSSL Notes](platforms.md) section.
