# CryptoKeyManager Component

The CryptoKeyManager component provides a simple way to load, generate and manage generic cryptographic keys.

## Syntax

```text
TsbxCryptoKeyManager
```

## Remarks

CryptoKeyManager allows you to load, save, generate, import, and export low-level cryptographic keys. Two examples of such keys are raw RSA keys stored in PKCS1 format or AES256 keys. CryptoKeyManager supports asymmetric, symmetric, and HMAC keys.

CryptoKeyManager is a typical companion for low-level cryptography classes, such as PublicKeyCrypto, SymmetricCrypto, and HashFunction. It can also be used to provide external key material to certificate objects, and to derive cryptographic keys from passwords.

Use [ImportBytes](#importbytes-method-cryptokeymanager-component) or [ImportFromFile](#importfromfile-method-cryptokeymanager-component) method to load the key material from a buffer or file. Use [ImportFromCert](#importfromcert-method-cryptokeymanager-component) (and remember to assign the certificate object to the Certificate property before calling it) to import a key from an X.509 certificate. Once loaded, the key will be available in the Key property.

```text
  // Loading an AES key and setting its IV
  CryptoKeyManager.ImportBytes(Key, kffDER, "AES256", "", "", ktSecret, "");
  CryptoKeyManager.Key.IV = IV;

  // Loading an ECDSA private key from a file
  CryptoKeyManager.ImportFromFile("ec-secp256k1-priv-key.pem", kffAuto, "ECDSA", "NISTP256", "", ktSecret, "");

  // Loading an ECDSA public key from a file
  CryptoKeyManager.ImportFromFile("ec-secp256k1-pub-key.pem", kffAuto, "ECDSA", "NISTP256", "", ktPublic, "");

  // Importing a private key from a certificate object
  CertMgr.ImportFromFile("cert.pfx", "password");
  CryptoKeyManager.Certificate = CertMgr.Certificate;
  CryptoKeyManager.ImportFromCert();
```

To generate a new key or keypair use [Generate](#generate-method-cryptokeymanager-component) method. You can export the generated key using [ExportBytes](#exportbytes-method-cryptokeymanager-component) or [ExportToFile](#exporttofile-method-cryptokeymanager-component) method. You can attach the generated or loaded key to an external certificate object using the [ExportToCert](#exporttocert-method-cryptokeymanager-component) method.

```text
  // Generating an EdDSA Curve25519 keypair
  CryptoKeyManager.Generate("EDDSA", "CURVE25519", "", 256);

  // Generating an ECDSA NIST P256 curve keypair
  CryptoKeyManager.Generate("ECDSA", "NISTP256", "", 256);

  // Generating an RSA 2048 bit keypair
  CryptoKeyManager.Generate("RSA", "", "", 2048);

  // Generating a symmetric AES256 key
  CryptoKeyManager.Generate("AES256", "", "", 256);
```

Use [DeriveKey](#derivekey-method-cryptokeymanager-component) to derive a strong cryptographic key from a password using one of supported key derivation functions (KDFs):

```text
  CryptoKeyManager.DerivationAlgorithm = "PKCS5";
  CryptoKeyManager.HMACAlgorithm = "SHA256";
  CryptoKeyManager.DeriveIterations = 10000;
  CryptoKeyManager.DeriveKey(256, "password", "hex:41424344");
  Key = CryptoKeyManager.Key.Key;
```

CryptoKeyManager supports the majority of modern cryptographic algorithms:

- Asymmetric: RSA, ECDSA, EdDSA, ElGamal, DSS, Diffie-Hellman
- Symmetric: AES, Blowfish, Camellia, CAST5, ChaCha20, DES, 3DES-EDE, IDEA, RC2, RC4, Serpent, Twofish.
- KDFs: PKCS5, PBKDF2 (an alias to PKCS5), BCrypt, SCrypt, Argon2d, Argon2i, Argon2id.

See the "Supported Algorithms" section in the FAQ for the complete list.

Note: CryptoKeyManager can only work with one cryptographic key at a time. Use CryptoKeyStorage to access media containing more than one key.

# CertBytes Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property DynamicArray CertBytes = { read=FCertBytes };
```

## Remarks

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Byte Array

# CertCA Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Indicates whether the certificate has a CA capability.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property bool CertCA = { read=FCertCA, write=FSetCertCA };
```

## Default Value

false

## Remarks

Indicates whether the certificate has a CA capability. For the certificate to be considered a CA, it must have its Basic Constraints extension set with the CA indicator enabled.

Set this property when generating a new certificate to have its Basic Constraints extension generated automatically.

This property is not available at design time.

## Data Type

Boolean

# CertCAKeyID Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

A unique identifier (fingerprint) of the CA certificate's cryptographic key.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property DynamicArray CertCAKeyID = { read=FCertCAKeyID };
```

## Remarks

A unique identifier (fingerprint) of the CA certificate's cryptographic key.

Authority Key Identifier is a certificate extension which allows identification of certificates belonging to the same issuer, but with different public keys. It is a de-facto standard to include this extension in all certificates to facilitate chain building.

This setting cannot be set when generating a certificate as it always derives from another certificate property. [CertificateManager](#CertificateManager) generates this setting automatically if enough information is available to it: for self-signed certificates, this value is copied from the [CertSubjectKeyID](#certsubjectkeyid-property-cryptokeymanager-component) setting, and for lower-level certificates, from the parent certificate's subject key ID extension.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Byte Array

# CertType Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Returns the type of the entity contained in the Certificate object.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property TsbxCryptoKeyManagerCertTypes CertType = { read=FCertType };
enum TsbxCryptoKeyManagerCertTypes {
  ctUnknown=0,
  ctX509Certificate=1,
  ctX509CertificateRequest=2
};
```

## Default Value

ctUnknown

## Remarks

Returns the type of the entity contained in the [Certificate](#Type_Certificate) object.

A [Certificate](#Type_Certificate) object can contain two types of cryptographic objects: a ready-to-use X.509 certificate, or a certificate request ("an unsigned certificate"). Certificate requests can be upgraded to full certificates by signing them with a CA certificate.

Use the [CertificateManager](#CertificateManager) component to load or create new certificate and certificate requests objects.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Integer

# CertCRLDistributionPoints Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Contains a list of locations of CRL distribution points used to check this certificate's validity.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String CertCRLDistributionPoints = { read=FCertCRLDistributionPoints, write=FSetCertCRLDistributionPoints };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

Contains a list of locations of CRL distribution points used to check this certificate's validity. The list is taken from the respective certificate extension.

Use this property when generating a certificate to provide a list of CRL endpoints that should be made part of the new certificate.

The endpoints are provided as a list of CRLF-separated URLs. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the location separator.

This property is not available at design time.

## Data Type

String

# CertCurve Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Specifies the elliptic curve associated with the certificate's public key.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String CertCurve = { read=FCertCurve, write=FSetCertCurve };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

Specifies the elliptic curve associated with the certificate's public key. This setting only applies to certificates containing EC keys.

## Data Type

String

# CertFingerprint Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Contains the fingerprint (a hash imprint) of this certificate.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String CertFingerprint = { read=FCertFingerprint };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

Contains the fingerprint (a hash imprint) of this certificate.

While there is no formal standard defining what a fingerprint is, a SHA1 hash of the certificate's DER-encoded body is typically used.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

String

# CertFriendlyName Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Contains an associated alias (friendly name) of the certificate.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String CertFriendlyName = { read=FCertFriendlyName };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

Contains an associated alias (friendly name) of the certificate. The friendly name is not a property of a certificate: it is maintained by the certificate media rather than being included in its DER representation. Windows certificate stores are one example of media that does support friendly names.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

String

# CertHandle Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property __int64 CertHandle = { read=FCertHandle, write=FSetCertHandle };
```

## Default Value

0

## Remarks

Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object. Use this property to assign objects of the same type in a quicker manner, without copying them fieldwise.

When you pass a handle of one object to another, the source object is copied to the destination rather than assigned. It is safe to get rid of the original object after such operation.

```text
  pdfSigner.setSigningCertHandle(certMgr.getCertHandle());
```

This property is not available at design time.

## Data Type

Long64

# CertHashAlgorithm Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Provides means to set the hash algorithm to be used in the subsequent operation on the certificate (such as generation or key signing).

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String CertHashAlgorithm = { read=FCertHashAlgorithm, write=FSetCertHashAlgorithm };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

Provides means to set the hash algorithm to be used in the subsequent operation on the certificate (such as generation or key signing). It is not a property of a certificate; use [CertSigAlgorithm](#certsigalgorithm-property-cryptokeymanager-component) to find out the hash algorithm that is part of the certificate signature.

Use the [CertKeyBits](#certkeybits-property-cryptokeymanager-component), [CertCurve](#certcurve-property-cryptokeymanager-component), and [CertPublicKeyBytes](#certpublickeybytes-property-cryptokeymanager-component) properties to get more details about the key the certificate contains.

This property is not available at design time.

## Data Type

String

# CertKeyBits Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Returns the length of the public key in bits.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property int CertKeyBits = { read=FCertKeyBits };
```

## Default Value

0

## Remarks

Returns the length of the public key in bits.

This value indicates the length of the principal cryptographic parameter of the key, such as the length of the RSA modulus or ECDSA field. The key data returned by the [CertPublicKeyBytes](#certpublickeybytes-property-cryptokeymanager-component) or [CertPrivateKeyBytes](#certprivatekeybytes-property-cryptokeymanager-component) property would typically contain auxiliary values, and therefore be longer.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Integer

# CertKeyFingerprint Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Returns a SHA1 fingerprint of the public key contained in the certificate.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String CertKeyFingerprint = { read=FCertKeyFingerprint };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

Returns a SHA1 fingerprint of the public key contained in the certificate.

Note that the key fingerprint is different from the certificate fingerprint accessible via the [CertFingerprint](#certfingerprint-property-cryptokeymanager-component) property. The key fingerprint uniquely identifies the public key, and so can be the same for multiple certificates containing the same key.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

String

# CertKeyUsage Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Indicates the purposes of the key contained in the certificate, in the form of an OR'ed flag set.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property int CertKeyUsage = { read=FCertKeyUsage, write=FSetCertKeyUsage };
```

## Default Value

0

## Remarks

Indicates the purposes of the key contained in the certificate, in the form of an OR'ed flag set.

This value is a bit mask of the following values:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ckuUnknown | 0x00000 | Unknown key usage |
| ckuDigitalSignature | 0x00001 | Digital signature |

| ckuServerAuthentication | 0x00200 | Server authentication |
| ckuClientAuthentication | 0x00400 | Client authentication |
| ckuCodeSigning | 0x00800 | Code signing |
| ckuEmailProtection | 0x01000 | Email protection |
| ckuTimeStamping | 0x02000 | Timestamping |
| ckuOCSPSigning | 0x04000 | OCSP signing |
| ckuSmartCardLogon | 0x08000 | Smartcard logon |
| ckuKeyPurposeClientAuth | 0x10000 | Kerberos - client authentication |
| ckuKeyPurposeKDC | 0x20000 | Kerberos - KDC |

Set this property before generating the certificate to propagate the key usage flags to the new certificate.

This property is not available at design time.

## Data Type

Integer

# CertKeyValid Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Returns True if the certificate's key is cryptographically valid, and False otherwise.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property bool CertKeyValid = { read=FCertKeyValid };
```

## Default Value

false

## Remarks

Returns *True* if the certificate's key is cryptographically valid, and *False* otherwise.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Boolean

# CertOCSPLocations Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Locations of OCSP services that can be used to check this certificate's validity in real time, as recorded by the CA.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String CertOCSPLocations = { read=FCertOCSPLocations, write=FSetCertOCSPLocations };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

Locations of OCSP services that can be used to check this certificate's validity in real time, as recorded by the CA.

Set this property before calling the certificate manager's [Generate](#CertificateManager_m_Generate) method to propagate it to the new certificate.

The OCSP locations are provided as a list of CRLF-separated URLs. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the location separator.

This property is not available at design time.

## Data Type

String

# CertOCSPNoCheck Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Accessor to the value of the certificate's ocsp-no-check extension.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property bool CertOCSPNoCheck = { read=FCertOCSPNoCheck, write=FSetCertOCSPNoCheck };
```

## Default Value

false

## Remarks

Accessor to the value of the certificate's ocsp-no-check extension.

This property is not available at design time.

## Data Type

Boolean

# CertOrigin Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Returns the location that the certificate was taken or loaded from.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property int CertOrigin = { read=FCertOrigin };
```

## Default Value

0

## Remarks

Returns the location that the certificate was taken or loaded from.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Integer

# CertPolicyIDs Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Contains identifiers (OIDs) of the applicable certificate policies.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String CertPolicyIDs = { read=FCertPolicyIDs, write=FSetCertPolicyIDs };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

Contains identifiers (OIDs) of the applicable certificate policies.

The Certificate Policies extension identifies a sequence of policies under which the certificate has been issued, and which regulate its usage.

Set this property when generating a certificate to propagate the policies information to the new certificate.

The policies are provided as a list of CRLF-separated entries. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the policy element separator.

This property is not available at design time.

## Data Type

String

# CertPrivateKeyBytes Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Returns the certificate's private key in DER-encoded format.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property DynamicArray CertPrivateKeyBytes = { read=FCertPrivateKeyBytes };
```

## Remarks

Returns the certificate's private key in DER-encoded format. It is normal for this property to be empty if the private key is non-exportable, which, for example, is typical for certificates originating from hardware security devices.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Byte Array

# CertPrivateKeyExists Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Indicates whether the certificate has a usable private key associated with it.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property bool CertPrivateKeyExists = { read=FCertPrivateKeyExists };
```

false

## Remarks

Indicates whether the certificate has a usable private key associated with it. If it is set to *True*, the certificate can be used for private key operations, such as signing or decryption.

This property is independent from [CertPrivateKeyBytes](#certprivatekeybytes-property-cryptokeymanager-component), and can be set to *True* even if the former is empty. This would imply that the private key is non-exportable, but still can be used for cryptographic operations.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Boolean

# CertPrivateKeyExtractable Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Indicates whether the private key is extractable (exportable).

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property bool CertPrivateKeyExtractable = { read=FCertPrivateKeyExtractable };

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String CertSubject = { read=FCertSubject };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

The common name of the certificate holder, typically an individual's name, a URL, an e-mail address, or a company name. This is part of a larger set of credentials available via [CertSubjectRDN](#certsubjectrdn-property-cryptokeymanager-component).

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

String

# CertSubjectAlternativeName Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Returns or sets the value of the Subject Alternative Name extension of the certificate.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String CertSubjectAlternativeName = { read=FCertSubjectAlternativeName, write=FSetCertSubjectAlternativeName };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

Returns or sets the value of the Subject Alternative Name extension of the certificate.

Subject alternative names are used to provide additional names that are impractical to store in the main [CertSubjectRDN](#certsubjectrdn-property-cryptokeymanager-component) field. For example, it is often used to store all the domain names that a TLS certificate is authorized to protect.

The alternative names are provided as a list of CRLF-separated entries. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the element separator.

This property is not available at design time.

## Data Type

String

# CertSubjectKeyID Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Contains a unique identifier of the certificate's cryptographic key.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property DynamicArray CertSubjectKeyID = { read=FCertSubjectKeyID, write=FSetCertSubjectKeyID };
```

## Remarks

Contains a unique identifier of the certificate's cryptographic key.

Subject Key Identifier is a certificate extension which allows a specific public key to be associated with a certificate holder. Typically, subject key identifiers of CA certificates are recorded as respective CA key identifiers in the subordinate certificates that they issue, which facilitates chain building.

The [CertSubjectKeyID](#certsubjectkeyid-property-cryptokeymanager-component) and [CertCAKeyID](#certcakeyid-property-cryptokeymanager-component) properties of self-signed certificates typically contain identical values, as in that specific case, the issuer and the subject are the same entity.

This property is not available at design time.

## Data Type

Byte Array

# CertSubjectRDN Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

A list of Property=Value pairs that uniquely identify the certificate holder (subject).

## Remarks

Indicates whether or not the signature over the certificate or the request is valid and matches the public key contained in the CA certificate/request.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Boolean

# CertValidFrom Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

The time point at which the certificate becomes valid, in UTC.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String CertValidFrom = { read=FCertValidFrom, write=FSetCertValidFrom };
```

```

This property is not available at design time.

## Data Type

Long64

# KeyID Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Provides access to a storage-specific key identifier.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property DynamicArray KeyID = { read=FKeyID, write=FSetKeyID };
```

## Remarks

Provides access to a storage-specific key identifier. Key identifiers are used by cryptographic providers to refer to a particular key and/or distinguish between different keys. They are typically unique within a storage, but there is no guarantee that a particular cryptoprovider will conform to that (or will assign any key IDs at all).

This property is not available at design time.

This property is not available at design time.

## Data Type

Byte Array

# KeyNonce Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

A nonce value associated with a key.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property DynamicArray KeyNonce = { read=FKeyNonce, write=FSetKeyNonce };

This property is not available at design time.

## Data Type

Byte Array

# KeySymmetric Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Returns True if the object contains a symmetric key, and False otherwise.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property bool KeySymmetric = { read=FKeySymmetric };

# KeyValid Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Returns True if this key is valid.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property bool KeyValid = { read=FKeyValid };
```

## Default Value

false

## Remarks

Returns True if this key is valid. The term Valid highly depends on the kind of the key being stored. A symmetric key is considered valid if its length fits the algorithm being set. The validity of an RSA key also ensures that the RSA key elements (primes, exponents, and modulus) are consistent.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Boolean

# KeyValue Property ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

The byte array representation of the key value.

## Syntax

Byte Array

# Config Method ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
String __fastcall Config(String ConfigurationString);
```

## Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve [configuration settings](#config-settings-cryptokeymanager-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-cryptokeymanager-component), you must call *Config("PROPERTY")*. The value will be returned as a string.

# CreateNew Method ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Creates a template for a new keypair.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall CreateNew();
```

## Remarks

This method pre-generates a template for a new key.

Adjust the properties of the Key object and call [Generate](#generate-method-cryptokeymanager-component) to complete the generation.

# DeriveKey Method ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Generates a strong cryptographic key from a password.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall DeriveKey(int KeyBits, String Password, String Salt);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to generate a cryptographically strong key of a needed length from a password.

This method uses the key derivation function specified in [DerivationAlgorithm](#derivationalgorithm-property-cryptokeymanager-component), the HMAC algorithm provided in [HMACAlgorithm](#hmacalgorithm-property-cryptokeymanager-component), over [DeriveIterations](#deriveiterations-property-cryptokeymanager-component) iterations, to generate a cryptographic key of the needed length from a password and salt.

*Salt* is expected to contain a human-readable text string. To provide a binary salt, use the *hex* prefix with base16-encoded salt value: *hex:01AB8F20004F10FE*.

```text
  CryptoKeyManager.DerivationAlgorithm = "PKCS5";
  CryptoKeyManager.HMACAlgorithm = "SHA256";
  CryptoKeyManager.DeriveIterations = 10000;
  CryptoKeyManager.DeriveKey(256, "password", "hex:41424344");
  Key = CryptoKeyManager.Key.Key;
```

# DoAction Method ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Performs an additional action.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
String __fastcall DoAction(String ActionID, String ActionParams);
```

## Remarks

DoAction is a generic method available in every component. It is used to perform an additional action introduced after the product major release. The list of actions is not fixed, and may be flexibly extended over time.

The unique identifier (case insensitive) of the action is provided in the *ActionID* parameter.

*ActionParams* contains the value of a single parameter, or a list of multiple parameters for the action in the form of *PARAM1=VALUE1;PARAM2=VALUE2;...*.

Common ActionIDs:

|  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Action | Parameters | Returned value | Description |
| ResetTrustedListCache | none | none | Clears the cached list of trusted lists. |
| ResetCertificateCache | none | none | Clears the cached certificates. |
| ResetCRLCache | none | none | Clears the cached CRLs. |
| ResetOCSPResponseCache | none | none | Clears the cached OCSP responses. |

# ExportBytes Method ([CryptoKeyManager](#cryptokeymanager-component) Component)

Exports the key to a byte array.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
DynamicArray<Byte> __fastcall ExportBytes(int Format, int KeyType, String Password);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to save the Key (both the public and secret parts) to a byte array.

**HMACAlgorithm**: Specifies the HMAC algorithm to use with the key derivation algorithm.This property specifies the HMAC algorithm to use with the chosen key derivation algorithm.

Use normal hash algorithm constants with this property: SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, RIPEMD.

**PEMAlgorithm**: Specifies the symmetric encryption algorithm to use with PEM-encrypted private keys.Use this property to specify the encryption algorithm to use with exported PEM private keys. Supported algorithms are AES128, AES192, AES256, 3DES, and DES.

**PKCS11AlwaysAuthenticate**: Indicates whether the associated private key requires secondary authentication.Returns the value of the PKCS#11 CKA_ALWAYS_AUTHENTICATE attribute of the private key, which states whether the key requires a secondary per-operation authentication.

**SaveKeyParameters**: Controls inclusion of additional key parameters in the key blob when exporting EC keys.Setting this property to true facilitates inclusion of additional key parameters (the curve OID) in the key blob. Use this property to make the keys you export compatible with OpenSSL ec command.

**TempPath**: Path for storing temporary files.This setting specifies an absolute path to the location on disk where temporary files are stored. This setting is supported only in the Java edition for all applicable signing components except [PDFSigner](PDFSigner.md#PDFSigner), where this limitation does not apply.

**UseStandardKeyFormat**: Enforces use of standard ASN.1-wrapped public and private key format.Use this setting to enable or disable the standard ASN.1-enveloped key format when exporting public and private EC keys.

### Base Config Settings

**ASN1UseGlobalTagCache**: Controls whether ASN.1 module should use a global object cache.This is a performance setting. It is unlikely that you will ever need to adjust it.

**AssignSystemSmartCardPins**: Specifies whether CSP-level PINs should be assigned to CNG keys.This is a low-level tweak for certain cryptographic providers. It is unlikely that you will ever need to adjust it.

**CheckKeyIntegrityBeforeUse**: Enables or disable private key integrity check before use.This global property enables or disables private key material check before each signing operation. This slows down performance a bit, but prevents a selection of attacks on RSA keys where keys with unknown origins are used.

You can switch this property off to improve performance if your project only uses known, good private keys.

**CookieCaching**: Specifies whether a cookie cache should be used for HTTP(S) transports.Set this property to enable or disable cookies caching for the component.

**HardwareCryptoUsePolicy**: The hardware crypto usage policy.This global setting controls the hardware cryptography usage policy.

Supported Values:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| auto | Use hardware cryptography if available; otherwise, fall back to software-based cryptography (default). |

**IgnoreExpiredMSCTLSigningCert**: Whether to tolerate the expired Windows Update signing certificate.It is not uncommon for Microsoft Windows Update Certificate Trust List to be signed with an expired Microsoft certificate. Setting this global property to true makes SBB ignore the expired factor and take the Trust List into account.

**ListDelimiter**: The delimiter character for multi-element lists.Allows to set the delimiter for any multi-entry values returned by the component as a string object, such as file lists. For most of the components, this property is set to a newline sequence.

This allows the system to persistently save and retrieve PKI cache data, even across application restarts.

The default value is an empty string - no cached PKI data is stored on disk.

Example:

```text
PKICachePath=C:\Temp\cache
```

 In this example, the cached PKI data is stored in the C:\Temp\cache directory.

**ProductVersion**: Returns the version of the SecureBlackbox library.This property returns the long version string of the SecureBlackbox library being used (major.minor.build.revision).

**ServerSSLDHKeyLength**: Sets the size of the TLS DHE key exchange group.Use this property to adjust the length, in bits, of the DHE prime to be used by the TLS server.

**StaticDNS**: Specifies whether static DNS rules should be used.Set this property to enable or disable static DNS rules for the component. Works only if *UseOwnDNSResolver* is set to *true*.

Supported values are:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| none |  | No static DNS rules (default) |
| local |  | Local static DNS rules |
| global |  | Global static DNS rules |

**StaticIPAddress[domain]**: Gets or sets an IP address for the specified domain name.Use this property to get or set an IP address for the specified domain name in the internal (of the component) or global DNS rules storage depending on the *StaticDNS* value. The type of the IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) is determined automatically. If both addresses are available, they are divided by the | (pipe) character.

**StaticIPAddresses**: Gets or sets all the static DNS rules.Use this property to get static DNS rules from the current rules storage or restore them back between application sessions. If *StaticDNS* of the component is set to "*local*", the property returns/restores the rules from/to the internal storage of the component. If *StaticDNS* of the component is set to "*global*", the property returns/restores the rules from/to the GLOBAL storage. The rules list is returned and accepted in JSON format.

**Tag**: Allows to store any custom data.Use this config property to store any custom data.

**TLSSessionGroup**: Specifies the group name of TLS sessions to be used for session resumption.Use this property to limit the search of cached TLS sessions to the specified group. Sessions from other groups will be ignored. By default, all sessions are cached with an empty group name and available to all the components.

**TLSSessionLifetime**: Specifies lifetime in seconds of the cached TLS session.Use this property to specify how much time the TLS session should be kept in the session cache. After this time, the session expires and will be automatically removed from the cache. Default value is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

**TLSSessionPurgeInterval**: Specifies how often the session cache should remove the expired TLS sessions.Use this property to specify the time interval of purging the expired TLS sessions from the session cache. Default value is 60 seconds (1 minute).

**UseCRLObjectCaching**: Specifies whether reuse of loaded CRL objects is enabled.This setting enables or disables the caching of CRL objects. When set to true (the default value), the system checks if a CRL object is already loaded in memory before attempting to load a new instance. If the object is found, the existing instance is reused, and its reference count is incremented to track its usage. When the reference count reaches zero, indicating that no references to the object remain, the system will free the object from memory. This setting enhances performance by minimizing unnecessary object instantiation and promotes efficient memory management, particularly in scenarios where CRL objects are frequently used.

**UseInternalRandom**: Switches between SecureBlackbox-own and platform PRNGs.Allows to switch between internal/native PRNG implementation and the one provided by the platform.

**UseLegacyAdESValidation**: Enables legacy AdES validation mode.Use this setting to switch the AdES component to the validation approach that was used in SBB 2020/SBB 2022 (less attention to temporal details).

**UseOCSPResponseObjectCaching**: Specifies whether reuse of loaded OCSP response objects is enabled.This setting enables or disables the caching of OCSP response objects. When set to true (the default value), the system checks if a OCSP response object is already loaded in memory before attempting to load a new instance. If the object is found, the existing instance is reused, and its reference count is incremented to track its usage. When the reference count reaches zero, indicating that no references to the object remain, the system will free the object from memory. This setting enhances performance by minimizing unnecessary object instantiation and promotes efficient memory management, particularly in scenarios where OCSP response objects are frequently used.

**UseOwnDNSResolver**: Specifies whether the client components should use own DNS resolver.Set this global property to false to force all the client components to use the DNS resolver provided by the target OS instead of using own one.

**UseSharedSystemStorages**: Specifies whether the validation engine should use a global per-process copy of the system certificate stores.Set this global property to false to make each validation run use its own copy of system certificate stores.

**UseSystemNativeSizeCalculation**: An internal CryptoAPI access tweak.This is an internal setting. Please do not use it unless instructed by the support team.

**UseSystemOAEPAndPSS**: Enforces or disables the use of system-driven RSA OAEP and PSS computations.This global setting defines who is responsible for performing RSA-OAEP and RSA-PSS computations where the private key is stored in a Windows system store and is exportable. If set to true, SBB will delegate the computations to Windows via a CryptoAPI call. Otherwise, it will export the key material and perform the computations using its own OAEP/PSS implementation.

This setting only applies to certificates originating from a Windows system store.

**UseSystemRandom**: Enables or disables the use of the OS PRNG.Use this global property to enable or disable the use of operating system-driven pseudorandom number generation.

**XMLRDNDescriptorName[OID]**: Defines an OID mapping to descriptor names for the certificate's IssuerRDN or SubjectRDN.This property defines custom mappings between Object Identifiers (OIDs) and descriptor names. This mapping specifies how the certificate's issuer and subject information (ds:IssuerRDN and ds:SubjectRDN elements respectively) are represented in XML signatures.

The property accepts comma-separated values where the first descriptor name is used when the OID is mapped, and subsequent values act as aliases for parsing.

Syntax:

```text
Config("XMLRDNDescriptorName[OID]=PrimaryName,Alias1,Alias2");
```

Where:

OID: The Object Identifier from the certificate's IssuerRDN or SubjectRDN that you want to map.

PrimaryName: The main descriptor name used in the XML signature when the OID is encountered.

Alias1, Alias2, ...: Optional alternative names recognized during parsing.

Usage Examples:

Map OID 2.5.4.5 to SERIALNUMBER:

```text
Config("XMLRDNDescriptorName[2.5.4.5]=SERIALNUMBER");
```

Map OID 1.2.840.113549.1.9.1 to E, with aliases EMAIL and EMAILADDRESS:

```text
Config("XMLRDNDescriptorName[1.2.840.113549.1.9.1]=E,EMAIL,EMAILADDRESS");
```

**XMLRDNDescriptorPriority[OID]**: Specifies the priority of descriptor names associated with a specific OID.This property specifies the priority of descriptor names associated with a specific OID that allows to reorder descriptors in the ds:IssuerRDN and ds:SubjectRDN elements during signing.

**XMLRDNDescriptorReverseOrder**: Specifies whether to reverse the order of descriptors in RDN.Specifies whether to reverse the order of descriptors in the ds:IssuerRDN and ds:SubjectRDN elements during XML signing. By default, this property is set to true (as specified in RFC 2253, 2.1).

**XMLRDNDescriptorSeparator**: Specifies the separator used between descriptors in RDN.Specifies the separator used between descriptors in the ds:IssuerRDN and ds:SubjectRDN elements during XML signing. By default, this property is set to ", " value.
