# XMLSigner Component

The XMLSigner component provides a simple interface for digitally signing XML documents according to the XML-Signature Syntax and Processing specification.

## Syntax

```text
TsbxXMLSigner
```

## Remarks

XMLSigner implements the most basic XML-SIG signature standard. While this format is still quite widely used, it lacks important facilities that have been gaining popularity in recent years, such as strict chain validation, support for trust environments, and long-term signatures (also known as XAdES). If you are looking for XAdES support, please consider using the alternative [XAdESSigner](XAdESSigner.md#XAdESSigner) component.

To sign XML data with XMLSigner, you need to specify the data to be signed using the References property first, then select the signature type and signature method type (signature or MAC). References are individual pieces of the XML document that are covered by the signature. You can choose to sign the whole document or one or more individual elements.

Set the path to the file to be signed via the [InputFile](#inputfile-property-xmlsigner-component) (or [InputBytes](#inputbytes-property-xmlsigner-component)). Signed data will be saved in [OutputBytes](#outputbytes-property-xmlsigner-component), or the [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-xmlsigner-component) if provided.

Finally, call the [Sign](#sign-method-xmlsigner-component) method to generate a signature and save the signed data. XMLSigner supports the two product-wide external signing approaches for signing with remote private keys: use [SignExternal](#signexternal-method-xmlsigner-component) or [SignAsyncBegin](#signasyncbegin-method-xmlsigner-component) to do this as required.

```text
  XmlSigner.InputFile = "data.xml";
  XmlSigner.OutputFile = "data-signed.xml";
  XmlSigner.SigningCertificate = CertMgr.Certificate;
  XmlSigner.Sign();
```

## Data Type

String

# ExternalCryptoKeyID Property ([XMLSigner](#xmlsigner-component) Component)

The ID of the pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String ExternalCryptoKeyID = { read=FExternalCryptoKeyID, write=FSetExternalCryptoKeyID };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

The ID of the pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.

Asynchronous DCAuth-driven communication requires that parties authenticate each other with a secret pre-shared cryptographic key. This provides an extra protection layer for the protocol and diminishes the risk of the private key becoming abused by foreign parties. Use this property to provide the pre-shared key identifier, and use [ExternalCryptoKeySecret](#externalcryptokeysecret-property-xmlsigner-component) to pass the key itself.

The same KeyID/KeySecret pair should be used on the DCAuth side for the signing requests to be accepted.

Note: The KeyID/KeySecret scheme is very similar to the AuthKey scheme used in various Cloud service providers to authenticate users.

Example:

```text
  signer.ExternalCrypto.KeyID = "MainSigningKey";
  signer.ExternalCrypto.KeySecret = "abcdef0123456789";
```

## Data Type

String

# ExternalCryptoKeySecret Property ([XMLSigner](#xmlsigner-component) Component)

The pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String ExternalCryptoKeySecret = { read=FExternalCryptoKeySecret, write=FSetExternalCryptoKeySecret };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

The pre-shared key used for DC request authentication. This key must be set and match the key used by the DCAuth counterpart for the scheme to work.

Read more about configuring authentication in the [ExternalCryptoKeyID](#externalcryptokeyid-property-xmlsigner-component) topic.

## Data Type

  ecmGeneric=2,
  ecmDCAuth=3,
  ecmDCAuthJSON=4
};
```

## Default Value

ecmDefault

```text
int __fastcall AddDataReference(String DataURI, DynamicArray<Byte> Data);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to add a reference to the custom data. Pass the reference's URI via *DataURI* parameter.

This method uses [HashAlgorithm](#hashalgorithm-property-xmlsigner-component) property to specify the hash algorithm of the reference.

The method returns the index of the new reference entry in the References collection.

# AddKnownNamespace Method ([XMLSigner](#xmlsigner-component) Component)

Adds known prefix and correspondent namespace URI.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall AddKnownNamespace(String Prefix, String URI);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to add a known prefix and namespace URI that are used in XPath expression within XMLElement/XMLNode property, and within TargetXMLElement and XPathPrefixList properties of the references.

# AddReference Method ([XMLSigner](#xmlsigner-component) Component)

Creates a new XML reference to the specified XML element.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
int __fastcall AddReference(String TargetXmlElement, String CustomId, bool AutoGenerateId);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to add a reference to a particular XML element.

The reference's *URI* is set basing on the ID of the XML element. If the XML element doesn't have an ID then a *CustomId* value will be used. If *CustomId* is empty and *AutoGenerateId* is set, the ID will be generated automatically. An exception will be thrown otherwise.

This method uses [CanonicalizationMethod](#canonicalizationmethod-property-xmlsigner-component) and [HashAlgorithm](#hashalgorithm-property-xmlsigner-component) properties to specify the canonicalization method and hash algorithm of the reference.

The method returns the index of the new reference entry in the References collection.

# Config Method ([XMLSigner](#xmlsigner-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-xmlsigner-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-xmlsigner-component), you must call *Config("PROPERTY")*. The value will be returned as a string.

# DoAction Method ([XMLSigner](#xmlsigner-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. |

# Sign Method ([XMLSigner](#xmlsigner-component) Component)

Signs an XML document.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall Sign();
```

## Remarks

Call this method to generate a signature over an XML document.

# SignAsyncBegin Method ([XMLSigner](#xmlsigner-component) Component)

Initiates the asynchronous signing operation.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
String __fastcall SignAsyncBegin();
```

## Remarks

When using the DC framework, call this method to initiate the asynchronous signing process. Upon completion, a pre-signed copy of the document will be saved in [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-xmlsigner-component) (or OutputStream). Keep the pre-signed copy somewhere local, and pass the returned string ('the request state') to the DC processor for handling.

Upon receiving the response state from the DC processor, assign the path to the pre-signed copy to [InputFile](#inputfile-property-xmlsigner-component) (or InputStream), and call [SignAsyncEnd](#signasyncend-method-xmlsigner-component) to finalize the signing.

Note that depending on the signing method and DC configuration used, you may still need to provide the public part of the signing certificate via the SigningCertificate property.

Use the *ExternalCrypto.AsyncDocumentID* property to supply a unique document ID to include in the request. This is helpful when creating batches of multiple async requests, as it allows you to pass the whole response batch to [SignAsyncEnd](#signasyncend-method-xmlsigner-component) and expect it to recover the correct response from the batch automatically.

*AsyncState* is a message of the distributed cryptography (DC) protocol. The DC protocol is based on the exchange of async states between a DC client (an application that wants to sign a PDF, XML, or Office document) and a DC server (an application that controls access to the private key). An async state can carry one or more signing requests, comprised of document hashes, or one or more signatures produced over those hashes.

In a typical scenario you get a client-side async state from the SignAsyncBegin method. This state contains document hashes to be signed on the DC server side. You then send the async state to the DC server (often represented by the DCAuth component), which processes it and produces a matching signature state. The async state produced by the server is then passed to the [SignAsyncEnd](#signasyncend-method-xmlsigner-component) method.

# SignAsyncEnd Method ([XMLSigner](#xmlsigner-component) Component)

Completes the asynchronous signing operation.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall SignAsyncEnd(String AsyncReply);
```

## Remarks

When using the DC framework, call this method upon receiving the response state from the DC processor to complete the asynchronous signing process.

Before calling this method, assign the path to the pre-signed copy of the document obtained from the prior [SignAsyncBegin](#signasyncbegin-method-xmlsigner-component) call to [InputFile](#inputfile-property-xmlsigner-component) (or InputStream). The method will embed the signature into the pre-signed document, and save the complete signed document to [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-xmlsigner-component) (or OutputStream).

Note that depending on the signing method and DC configuration used, you may still need to provide the public part of the signing certificate via the SigningCertificate property.

Use the *ExternalCrypto.AsyncDocumentID* parameter to pass a specific document ID if using batched AsyncReply. If used, it should match the value provided on the pre-signing ([SignAsyncBegin](#signasyncbegin-method-xmlsigner-component)) stage.

*AsyncState* is a message of the distributed cryptography (DC) protocol. The DC protocol is based on the exchange of async states between a DC client (an application that wants to sign a PDF, XML, or Office document) and a DC server (an application that controls access to the private key). An async state can carry one or more signing requests, comprised of document hashes, or one or more signatures produced over those hashes.

In a typical scenario you get a client-side async state from the [SignAsyncBegin](#signasyncbegin-method-xmlsigner-component) method. This state contains document hashes to be signed on the DC server side. You then send the async state to the DC server (often represented by the DCAuth component), which processes it and produces a matching signature state. The async state produced by the server is then passed to the SignAsyncEnd method.

# SignExternal Method ([XMLSigner](#xmlsigner-component) Component)

Signs the document using an external signing facility.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall SignExternal();
```

## Remarks

Call this method to delegate the low-level signing operation to an external, remote, or custom signing engine. This method is useful if the signature has to be made by a device accessible through a custom or non-standard signing interface.

When all preparations are done and hash is computed, the component fires [ExternalSign](#externalsign-event-xmlsigner-component) event which allows to pass the hash value for signing.

# Error Event ([XMLSigner](#xmlsigner-component) Component)

Reports the details of signing errors.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
typedef struct {
  int ErrorCode;
  String Description;
} TsbxXMLSignerErrorEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxXMLSignerErrorEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxXMLSignerErrorEventParams *e);
__property TsbxXMLSignerErrorEvent OnError = { read=FOnError, write=FOnError };
```

## Remarks

The event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during signing.

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

# ExternalSign Event ([XMLSigner](#xmlsigner-component) Component)

Handles remote or external signing initiated by the SignExternal method or other source.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
typedef struct {
  String OperationId;
  String HashAlgorithm;
  String Pars;
  String Data;
  String SignedData;
} TsbxXMLSignerExternalSignEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxXMLSignerExternalSignEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxXMLSignerExternalSignEventParams *e);
__property TsbxXMLSignerExternalSignEvent OnExternalSign = { read=FOnExternalSign, write=FOnExternalSign };
```

## Remarks

Assign a handler to this event if you need to delegate a low-level signing operation to an external, remote, or custom signing engine. Depending on the settings, the handler will receive a hashed or unhashed value to be signed.

The event handler must pass the value of *Data* to the signer, obtain the signature, and pass it back to the component via the *SignedData* parameter.

*OperationId* provides a comment about the operation and its origin. It depends on the exact component being used, and may be empty. *HashAlgorithm* specifies the hash algorithm being used for the operation, and *Pars* contains algorithm-dependent parameters.

The component uses base16 (hex) encoding for the *Data*, *SignedData*, and *Pars* parameters. If your signing engine uses a different input and output encoding, you may need to decode and/or encode the data before and/or after the signing.

A sample MD5 hash encoded in base16: a0dee2a0382afbb09120ffa7ccd8a152 - lower case base16 A0DEE2A0382AFBB09120FFA7CCD8A152 - upper case base16

A sample event handler that uses the .NET RSACryptoServiceProvider class may look like the following:

```text
signer.OnExternalSign += (s, e) =>
{
       var cert = new X509Certificate2("cert.pfx", "", X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable);
       var key = (RSACryptoServiceProvider)cert.PrivateKey;

       var dataToSign = e.Data.FromBase16String();
       var signedData = key.SignHash(dataToSign, "2.16.840.1.101.3.4.2.1");
       e.SignedData = signedData.ToBase16String();
};
```

# FormatElement Event ([XMLSigner](#xmlsigner-component) Component)

Reports the XML element that is currently being processed.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
typedef struct {
  String StartTagWhitespace;
  String EndTagWhitespace;
  int Level;
  String Path;
  bool HasChildElements;
} TsbxXMLSignerFormatElementEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxXMLSignerFormatElementEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxXMLSignerFormatElementEventParams *e);
__property TsbxXMLSignerFormatElementEvent OnFormatElement = { read=FOnFormatElement, write=FOnFormatElement };
```

## Remarks

*Path* and *Level* specify the path to the XML element being processed and its nesting level, respectively.

*HasChildElements* specify if processed XML element has child elements.

Among other purposes, this event may be used to add whitespace formatting before or after a particular element in the signature.

# FormatText Event ([XMLSigner](#xmlsigner-component) Component)

Reports XML text that is currently being processed.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
typedef struct {
  String Text;
  int TextType;
  int Level;
  String Path;
} TsbxXMLSignerFormatTextEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxXMLSignerFormatTextEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxXMLSignerFormatTextEventParams *e);
__property TsbxXMLSignerFormatTextEvent OnFormatText = { read=FOnFormatText, write=FOnFormatText };
```

## Remarks

*TextType* parameter specifies the type of the XML text (normal or Base64-encoded) that is stored in the element; *Path* and *Level* specify the path to the XML element and its nesting level.

Among other purposes, this event may be used to add whitespace formatting before or after a particular element in the signature.

# Notification Event ([XMLSigner](#xmlsigner-component) Component)

This event notifies the application about an underlying control flow event.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
typedef struct {
  String EventID;
  String EventParam;
} TsbxXMLSignerNotificationEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxXMLSignerNotificationEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxXMLSignerNotificationEventParams *e);
__property TsbxXMLSignerNotificationEvent OnNotification = { read=FOnNotification, write=FOnNotification };
```

## Remarks

The component fires this event to let the application know about some event, occurrence, or milestone in the component. For example, it may fire to report completion of the document processing. The list of events being reported is not fixed, and may be flexibly extended over time.

The unique identifier of the event is provided in the *EventID* parameter. *EventParam* contains any parameters accompanying the occurrence. Depending on the type of the component, the exact action it is performing, or the document being processed, one or both may be omitted.

This component can fire this event with the following *EventID* values:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| DocumentLoaded | Notifies the application that the document has been loaded. This is a backward-compatibility-only notification. Use OnDocumentLoaded event instead. |
| SignaturesLoaded | Notifies the application that the component has finished loading signatures. |
| RetrieveQualifyingProperties | TBD |
| BeforeTimestamp | This event is fired before a timestamp is requested from the timestamping authority. Use the event handler to modify TSA and HTTP settings. |
| TimestampError | This event is only fired if the component failed to obtain a timestamp from the timestamping authority. The EventParam parameter contains extended error info. |
| TimestampRequest | A timestamp is requested from the custom timestamping authority. This event is only fired if TimestampServer was set to a virtual:// URI. The EventParam parameter contains the TSP request (or the plain hash, depending on the value provided to TimestampServer), in base16, that needs to be sent to the TSA. Use the event handler to send the request to the TSA. Upon receiving the response, assign it, in base16, to the TimestampResponse configuration property. |

# ResolveReference Event ([XMLSigner](#xmlsigner-component) Component)

Asks the application to resolve a reference.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
typedef struct {
  int ReferenceIndex;
  String URI;
} TsbxXMLSignerResolveReferenceEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxXMLSignerResolveReferenceEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxXMLSignerResolveReferenceEventParams *e);
__property TsbxXMLSignerResolveReferenceEvent OnResolveReference = { read=FOnResolveReference, write=FOnResolveReference };
```

## Remarks

This event is fired when the control could not automatically resolve a reference and requires custom treatment.

*URI* contains a reference to the data.

*ReferenceIndex* specifies the index of the reference to process.

Based on the reference's URI the event handler should set either TargetXMLElement or TargetData property of the reference.

# Config Settings ([XMLSigner](#xmlsigner-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-xmlsigner-component) method.

### XMLSigner Config Settings

**AddAllDataObjectsTimestamp**: Whether to add all data objects timestamp during signing.If this property is set to True, the all data objects timestamp (xades:AllDataObjectsTimeStamp element) will be added.

**AsyncDocumentID**: Specifies the document ID for SignAsyncEnd() call.Use this property when working with multi-signature DCAuth requests and responses to uniquely identify documents signed within a larger batch. This value helps ASiCSigner identify the correct signature in the returned batch of responses. If using batched requests, make sure to set this property to the same value on both pre-signing (SignAsyncBegin) and completion (SignAsyncEnd) stages.

**CachedCRLMaxAge**: Specifies the maximum age of a cached CRL.Use this setting to specify the maximum number of seconds that may pass since a CRL was added to the global cache. When the cached CRL is older than this value, it is disregarded and a new CRL should be fetched.

The default value is 1 day (86400 seconds). A value of 0 disables the absolute CRL age check. See [RevocationCacheAgePolicy](#RevocationCacheAgePolicy) for configuring this setting together with the related cached revocation freshness settings.

**CachedCRLMaxAgeRatio**: Specifies the maximum age of a cached CRL as a percentage of its remaining lifetime.Use this setting to specify the percentage of the CRL's remaining lifetime, measured from the time the CRL was added to the global cache to the CRL's NextUpdate. When this portion of the remaining lifetime has passed, the cached CRL is disregarded and a new CRL should be fetched.

The default value is 50 percent. Values are interpreted in the 0..100 range. A value of 0 disables the CRL ratio check. See [RevocationCacheAgePolicy](#RevocationCacheAgePolicy) for configuring this setting together with the related cached revocation freshness settings.

**CachedCRLOverlapTime**: Specifies the time period before a cached CRL's NextUpdate when it is considered stale and must be refreshed.Use this setting to specify the number of seconds before the NextUpdate time at which the cached CRL should be disregarded, and a new CRL should be fetched.

The default value is 10 minutes (600 seconds). A value of 0 disables the CRL overlap check. See [RevocationCacheAgePolicy](#RevocationCacheAgePolicy) for configuring this setting together with the related cached revocation freshness settings.

This setting is evaluated independently from [CachedCRLMaxAge](#CachedCRLMaxAge) and [CachedCRLMaxAgeRatio](#CachedCRLMaxAgeRatio). If several cached CRL freshness settings are enabled, the cached CRL is used only if it satisfies all of them.

**CachedOCSPResponseMaxAge**: Specifies the maximum age of a cached OCSP response.Use this setting to specify the maximum number of seconds that may pass since an OCSP response was added to the global cache. When the cached OCSP response is older than this value, it is disregarded and a new OCSP response should be fetched.

The default value is 1 hour (3600 seconds). A value of 0 disables the absolute OCSP response age check. This setting is also used to limit open-ended OCSP responses that do not have NextUpdate. See [RevocationCacheAgePolicy](#RevocationCacheAgePolicy) for configuring this setting together with the related cached revocation freshness settings.

**CachedOCSPResponseMaxAgeRatio**: Specifies the maximum age of a cached OCSP response as a percentage of its remaining lifetime.Use this setting to specify the percentage of the OCSP response's remaining lifetime, measured from the time the OCSP response was added to the global cache to the response's NextUpdate. When this portion of the remaining lifetime has passed, the cached OCSP response is disregarded and a new OCSP response should be fetched.

The default value is 50 percent. Values are interpreted in the 0..100 range. Open-ended OCSP responses without NextUpdate ignore this setting; use [CachedOCSPResponseMaxAge](#CachedOCSPResponseMaxAge) to limit their age. A value of 0 disables the OCSP response ratio check. See [RevocationCacheAgePolicy](#RevocationCacheAgePolicy) for configuring this setting together with the related cached revocation freshness settings.

**CachedOCSPResponseOverlapTime**: Specifies the time period before a cached OCSP response's NextUpdate when it is considered stale and must be refreshed.Use this setting to specify the number of seconds before the NextUpdate time at which the cached OCSP response should be disregarded, and a new OCSP response should be fetched.

The default value is 10 minutes (600 seconds). A value of 0 disables the OCSP response overlap check. See [RevocationCacheAgePolicy](#RevocationCacheAgePolicy) for configuring this setting together with the related cached revocation freshness settings.

This setting is evaluated independently from [CachedOCSPResponseMaxAge](#CachedOCSPResponseMaxAge) and [CachedOCSPResponseMaxAgeRatio](#CachedOCSPResponseMaxAgeRatio). If several cached OCSP response freshness settings are enabled, the cached OCSP response is used only if it satisfies all of them.

For example, if the corresponding ds:Reference element has an Id "reference-id-1", then you should set this property to "#reference-id-1" value.

Index value could be omitted for the first DataObjectFormat element.

**DataType**: Specifies the external data type.Use this property to specify the type of the external data (either [DataFile](#datafile-property-xmlsigner-component), DataStream or [DataBytes](#databytes-property-xmlsigner-component) properties) for component.

The following data types are supported:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| "" or "XML" |  | an XML document (by default). |
| "data" |  | a binary data. |

**DeltaCRLPreference**: Specifies whether complete or delta CRLs are preferred.Use this setting to specify which CRL type should be preferred during revocation checks performed by the AdES component.

The default value is **dcrlpPreferComplete** (1).

Supported values:

- **dcrlpPreferDelta** (0): retrieve and use delta CRLs when available, falling back to complete CRLs when needed.
- **dcrlpPreferComplete** (1): try complete CRLs first, and use delta CRLs only if complete CRLs cannot be retrieved.

**DetachedResourceURI**: Specifies a detached resource URI.Specifies a URI used for data being signed, usually the data filename if stored along with a detached signature.

**DislikeOpenEndedOCSPs**: Tells the component to discourage OCSP responses without an explicit NextUpdate parameter.When this property is set to True, the validation engine treats OCSP response without a NextUpdate field as 'substandard' and tries to obtain some further revocation material for the certificate in question (a different OCSP or a CRL, even if the component is configured to prefer the OCSP route). This is to work around Adobe Reader's intolerance to such OCSPs when classifying signed documents as LTV (as of August 2022).

**EnvelopingObjectEncoding**: Specifies the enveloping object encoding.In case of enveloping signature, this property contains the Encoding attribute of the enveloped object.

**EnvelopingObjectID**: Specifies the enveloping object identifier.In case of enveloping signature, this property contains the identifier (ID) attribute of the enveloped object.

**EvaluateSystemTrust**: Enables or disables usage of the platform's built-in trust validation facilities.When enabled, the component delegates the certificate chain validation to the operating system's native trust evaluation mechanism (e.g. SecTrustEvaluate on Apple platforms). This functionality is currently available on macOS and iOS systems only. This property is disabled by default, because enabling it may prevent the AdES components from collecting full revocation information required for long-term validation (LTV) signatures.

**EvaluateSystemTrustForSelfSignedCertificates**: Enables or disables usage of the platform's built-in trust validation facilities for self-signed certificates.When enabled, the component delegates the certificate chain validation to the operating system's native trust evaluation mechanism (e.g. SecTrustEvaluate on Apple platforms) for self-signed certificates. This functionality is currently available on macOS and iOS systems only. This property is enabled by default.

**EvaluateSystemTrustForSSL**: Enables or disables usage of the platform's built-in trust validation facilities for SSL/TLS.When enabled, the component delegates the certificate chain validation to the operating system's native trust evaluation mechanism (e.g. SecTrustEvaluate on Apple platforms) specifically for SSL/TLS certificates. This functionality is currently available on macOS and iOS systems only. This property is enabled by default.

**ExclusiveCanonicalizationPrefix**: Specifies the exclusive canonicalization prefix.Specifies the prefix for the ec:InclusiveNamespaces element for the exclusive canonicalization.

Default value is "ec". In this case "ec:" prefix will be used.

Special values:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| "#default" or "" | indicates that the prefix will be omitted. |
| "#auto" | indicates that the prefix will be auto-detected based on the parent nodes. |

**ForceCompleteChainValidation**: Whether to check the CA certificates when the signing certificate is invalid.Set this property to True to check issuer (CA) certificates if the signing or an intermediate chain certificate is invalid.

**ForceCompleteChainValidationForTrusted**: Whether to continue with the full validation up to the root CA certificate for mid-level trust anchors. Set this property to True to enable full chain validation for explicitly trusted intermediary or end-entity certificates. This may be useful when creating signatures to enforce completeness of the collected revocation information. It often makes sense to set this property to false when validating signatures to reduce validation time and avoid issues with badly configured environments.

**GracePeriod**: Specifies a grace period to apply during revocation information checks.Use this property to specify a grace period (in seconds). Grace period applies to certain subprotocols, such as OCSP, and caters to the inaccuracy and/or missynchronization of clocks on different participating systems. Any time deviations within the grace period will be tolerated.

**HMACKey**: The key value for HMAC.Use this property to set the HMAC key. The component uses base16 (hex) encoding for this configuration value.

**HMACOutputLength**: Sets the length of the HMAC output.Use this property to configure the length of the HMAC output, in bytes.

**HMACSigningUsed**: Whether to use HMAC signing.Set this property to true to make the component perform signing using HMAC method, rather than asymmetric cryptography. TBD

**IDAttributeName**: Specifies the custom name of ID attribute.This property contains the custom name of identifier (ID) attribute. Used to identify the target XML element when reference URI has "#id_name" value or when ID attribute should be auto-generated for a target XML element.

**IDAttributeNamespaceURI**: Specifies the custom namespace URI of ID attribute.This property contains the custom namespace URI of identifier (ID) attribute. Used to identify the target XML element when reference URI has "#id_name" value or when ID attribute should be auto-generated for a target XML element.

**IgnoreChainLoops**: Whether chain loops should be ignored.Set this property to True to make the validation engine ignore chain loops. This may be an option when you need to process chains from buggy CAs that happen to include subchains that sign themselves.

**IgnoreChainValidationErrors**: Whether to ignore any certificate chain validation issues.Enable this property to ignore any chain validation errors when creating a signature. This may be useful if the signature is created in an environment which uses different trust settings to the validation environment.

**IgnoreOCSPNoCheckExtension**: Whether the OCSP NoCheck extension should be ignored.Set this property to True to make the validation engine ignore the OCSP no-check extension. You would normally need to set this property when validating severely non-compliant chains that misuse the extension, causing chain loops or other validation issues.

**IgnoreSystemTrust**: Whether trusted Windows Certificate Stores should be treated as trusted.Specifies whether, during chain validation, the component should respect the trust to CA certificates as configured in the operating system. In Windows this effectively defines whether the component should trust the certificates residing in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store.

If [IgnoreSystemTrust](#IgnoreSystemTrust) is True, certificates residing in the trusted root store are treated as if they are known, rather than trusted. Only certificates provided via other means (such as the TrustedCertificates property) are considered trusted.

**IgnoreTimestampFailure**: Whether to ignore time-stamping failure during signing.If this property is set to True, any failure during time-stamping process will be ignored.

**ImplicitlyTrustSelfSignedCertificates**: Whether to trust self-signed certificates. Set this property to True to implicitly trust all self-signed certificates. Use it with care as trusting just about every self-signed certificate is unwise. One exceptional reason where this property may be handy is where a chain is validated in an environment that is not supposed to trust it (for example, a signing, rather than verifying environment, or a QA server). Trusting all self-signing certificates (which are normally trusted) allows emulating the verifying environment without actually changing its security settings.

**IncludeKey**: Specifies whether to include the signing key to the signature.Set this property to True to include the public part of the signing key to the signature.

**IncludeKeyValue**: Specifies whether the key value must be included to the signature.Set this property to True if the key value (its public part) should be included to the signature.

**IncludeKnownRevocationInfoToSignature**: Whether to include custom revocation info to the signature.This property specifies whether revocation pieces provided via KnownCertificates, KnownCRLs, and KnownOCSPs properties should be included into the signature. This property lets you include custom validation elements to the signature in addition to the ones comprising the signing chain.

| "" or "XML" |  | an XML document (by default). |
| "data" |  | a binary data. |
| "base64" |  | Base64 encoded binary data (input data will be encoded in Base64 and will be placed in ds:Object for Enveloping signature type) |

 What input types could be used depends on [SignatureType](#signaturetype-property-xmlsigner-component):

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
|  | Enveloped signature type supports only an XML document as the input. |

"ns1" prefix should be defined via [AddKnownNamespace](#addknownnamespace-method-xmlsigner-component) method. |
| Node name | indicates an XML element selected using its NodeName. For example: "data" - indicates an XML element with node name "data". |

**KeyInfoCustomXML**: The custom XML content for KeyInfo element.Use this property to specify the custom XML content of the ds:KeyInfo element.

The empty elements in the custom XML content act as a placeholder for auto-generated elements.

For example to change the order of ds:KeyValue and ds:X509Data auto-generated elements use the value: "<X509Data/><KeyValue/>"

**KeyInfoDetails**: Specifies the signing key info details to include to the signature.Contains a comma-separated list of values that specifies which signing key info details to include to the signature.

**KeyName**: Contains information about the key used for signing.The KeyName element contains a string value (with significant whitespaces) which may be used by the signer to communicate a key identifier to the recipient. Typically, the KeyName element contains an identifier related to the key pair used to sign the message, but it may contain other protocol-related information that indirectly identifies a key pair. Common uses of the KeyName include simple string names for keys, a key index, a distinguished name (DN), an email address, etc.

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| Default | Applies the AdES default freshness settings: crl:86400;50;600,ocsp:3600;50;600. This means: CRL maximum age 1 day, CRL age ratio 50%, CRL overlap 10 minutes; OCSP response maximum age 1 hour, OCSP response age ratio 50%, OCSP response overlap 10 minutes. This value is the default. |
| Disabled | Sets [CachedCRLOverlapTime](#CachedCRLOverlapTime), [CachedOCSPResponseOverlapTime](#CachedOCSPResponseOverlapTime), [CachedCRLMaxAge](#CachedCRLMaxAge), [CachedOCSPResponseMaxAge](#CachedOCSPResponseMaxAge), [CachedCRLMaxAgeRatio](#CachedCRLMaxAgeRatio), and [CachedOCSPResponseMaxAgeRatio](#CachedOCSPResponseMaxAgeRatio) to 0. It only disables the cache-age freshness policy; it does not disable revocation checking or use of the revocation cache. |
| Short | Uses crl:43200;50;300,ocsp:1800;50;300. This means: CRL maximum age 12 hours, CRL age ratio 50%, CRL overlap 5 minutes; OCSP response maximum age 30 minutes, OCSP response age ratio 50%, OCSP response overlap 5 minutes. |
| Long | Uses crl:518400;50;3600,ocsp:21600;50;3600. This means: CRL maximum age 6 days, CRL age ratio 50%, CRL overlap 1 hour; OCSP response maximum age 6 hours, OCSP response age ratio 50%, OCSP response overlap 1 hour. |
| N | Interprets N as an integer number of seconds. The overlap settings are set to N seconds, CRL maximum age is set to N * 144, OCSP response maximum age is set to N * 6, and both ratio settings are set to 50. |
| crl:<maxAge>;<ratio>;<overlap>,ocsp:<maxAge>;<ratio>;<overlap> | Sets the CRL and OCSP response freshness values explicitly. |

Ratios must be in the 0..100 range. Maximum age and overlap values must be non-negative. Short and Long are time-scale profiles: Long allows older cached revocation information by increasing maximum ages, but also uses a larger pre-expiry safety margin by increasing overlap times. For individual [CachedCRLOverlapTime](#CachedCRLOverlapTime), [CachedOCSPResponseOverlapTime](#CachedOCSPResponseOverlapTime), [CachedCRLMaxAge](#CachedCRLMaxAge), [CachedOCSPResponseMaxAge](#CachedOCSPResponseMaxAge), [CachedCRLMaxAgeRatio](#CachedCRLMaxAgeRatio), and [CachedOCSPResponseMaxAgeRatio](#CachedOCSPResponseMaxAgeRatio) settings, a value of 0 disables the corresponding freshness check.

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.

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.
