# AuthenticodeVerifier Class

The AuthenticodeVerifier class verifies digital signatures over executable files (EXE) and dynamically linked libraries (DLL).

## Syntax

```text
AuthenticodeVerifier
```

## Remarks

Use this component to verify signatures created over executable files.

Authenticode is a technology widely used in Windows-based ecosystems to provide authenticity of software executables (programs and libraries). The absolute majority of Windows-based software products and components distributed across the world today use the Authenticode digital signing technology to confirm the trustworthiness of their vendors and the integrity of their binaries.

AuthenticodeVerifier provides means for validating the integrity of such signatures. Use it to establish that a binary comes from the origin that it claims to come from, verify that it was not altered in transit, and that the vendor's trustworthiness status is up-to-date.

```text
AuthenticodeVerifier verifier = new AuthenticodeVerifier();

// Select the file which contains the executable that is timestamped
verifier.setInputFile("signedExecutable.exe");

verifier.verify(); // Verify

System.out.println("Validation result: " + verifier.getSignatureValidationResult() +
                   "Signing time: " + verifier.getValidatedSigningTime() +
                   "TSA Certificate: " + verifier.getSigningCertificate().getSubjectRDN());

// Validation result: 0 // 0 == svtValid
// Signing time: 2024-05-17 12:37:24
// TSA Certificate: /CN=Test Certificate
```

See [AuthenticodeSigner](AuthenticodeSigner.md#AuthenticodeSigner) component if you need to sign binaries with Authenticode.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetOfflineMode();int SetOfflineMode(int bOfflineMode);

Unicode (Windows)
BOOL GetOfflineMode();INT SetOfflineMode(BOOL bOfflineMode);
```

## Default Value

FALSE

## Remarks

When working in offline mode, the class restricts itself from using any online revocation information sources, such as CRL or OCSP responders.

Offline mode may be useful if there is a need to verify the completeness of the validation information included within the signature or provided via [KnownCertificates](#knowncertificates-property-authenticodeverifier-class), [KnownCRLs](#knowncrls-property-authenticodeverifier-class), and other related properties.

## Data Type

Boolean

# Profile Property ([AuthenticodeVerifier](#authenticodeverifier-class) Class)

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

Advanced signatures come in many variants, which are often defined by parties that needs to process them or by local standards. SecureBlackbox profiles are sets of pre-defined configurations which correspond to particular signature variants. By specifying a profile, you are pre-configuring the component to make it produce the signature that matches the configuration corresponding to that profile.

## Data Type

String

# Proxy Property ([AuthenticodeVerifier](#authenticodeverifier-class) Class)

CRC_NONE(0), CRC_AUTO(1), CRC_ALL_CRL(2), CRC_ALL_OCSP(3), CRC_ALL_CRLAND_OCSP(4), CRC_ANY_CRL(5), CRC_ANY_OCSP(6), CRC_ANY_CRLOR_OCSP(7), CRC_ANY_OCSPOR_CRL(8)
```

## Default Value

1

## Remarks

Revocation checking is necessary to ensure the integrity of the chain and obtain up-to-date certificate validity and trustworthiness information.

Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) and Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responses serve the same purpose of ensuring that the certificate had not been revoked by the Certificate Authority (CA) at the time of use. Depending on your circumstances and security policy requirements, you may want to use either one or both of the revocation information source types.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| crcNone | 0 | No revocation checking. |
| crcAuto | 1 | Automatic mode selection. Currently this maps to crcAnyOCSPOrCRL, but it may change in the future. |
| crcAllCRL | 2 | All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed. |
| crcAllOCSP | 3 | All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed. |
| crcAllCRLAndOCSP | 4 | All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed. |
| crcAnyCRL | 5 | All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. |
| crcAnyOCSP | 6 | All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. |
| crcAnyCRLOrOCSP | 7 | All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. CRL endpoints are checked first. |
| crcAnyOCSPOrCRL | 8 | All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. OCSP endpoints are checked first. |

This setting controls the way the revocation checks are performed for every certificate in the chain. Typically certificates come with two types of revocation information sources: CRL (certificate revocation lists) and OCSP responders. CRLs are static objects periodically published by the CA at some online location. OCSP responders are active online services maintained by the CA that can provide up-to-date information on certificate statuses in near real time.

There are some conceptual differences between the two. CRLs are normally larger in size. Their use involves some latency because there is normally some delay between the time when a certificate was revoked and the time the subsequent CRL mentioning that is published. The benefits of CRL is that the same object can provide statuses for all certificates issued by a particular CA, and that the whole technology is much simpler than OCSP (and thus is supported by more CAs).

This setting lets you adjust the validation course by including or excluding certain types of revocation sources from the validation process. The crcAnyOCSPOrCRL setting (give preference to the faster OCSP route and only demand one source to succeed) is a good choice for most typical validation environments. The "crcAll*" modes are much stricter, and may be used in scenarios where bulletproof validity information is essential.

NOTE: If no CRL or OCSP endpoints are provided by the CA, the revocation check will be considered successful. This is because the CA chose not to supply revocation information for its certificates, meaning they are considered irrevocable.

NOTE: Within each of the above settings, if any retrieved CRL or OCSP response indicates that the certificate has been revoked, the revocation check fails.

```text
SecureBlackboxList<SecureBlackboxCertificate>* GetTrustedCertificates();
int SetTrustedCertificates(SecureBlackboxList<SecureBlackboxCertificate>* val);
```

## Remarks

Use this property to supply a list of trusted certificates that might be needed for chain validation. An example of a scenario where you might want to do that is when root CA certificates are absent from the standard system locations (or when there are no standard system locations), and therefore should be supplied to the component manually.

The purpose of this certificate collection is largely the same as that of the Windows Trusted Root Certification Authorities system store.

Use this property with extreme care as it directly affects chain verifiability; a wrong certificate added to the trusted list may result in bad chains being accepted, and forfeited signatures being recognized as genuine. Only add certificates that originate from the parties that you know and trust.

This property is not available at design time.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetValidationMoment();int SetValidationMoment(const char* lpszValidationMoment);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GetValidationMoment();INT SetValidationMoment(LPCWSTR lpszValidationMoment);
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

Use this property to specify the moment in time at which signature validity should be established. The time is in UTC. Leave the setting empty to stick to the default moment (either the signature creation time or the current time).

The validity of the same signature may differ depending on the time point chosen due to temporal changes in chain validities, revocation statuses, and timestamp times.

## Data Type

String

# Config Method ([AuthenticodeVerifier](#authenticodeverifier-class) Class)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* Config(const char* lpszConfigurationString);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR Config(LPCWSTR lpszConfigurationString);
```

## Remarks

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

## Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the *GetLastErrorCode()* method to obtain its result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

# DoAction Method ([AuthenticodeVerifier](#authenticodeverifier-class) Class)

Performs an additional action.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* DoAction(const char* lpszActionID, const char* lpszActionParams);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR DoAction(LPCWSTR lpszActionID, LPCWSTR lpszActionParams);
```

## Remarks

DoAction is a generic method available in every class. 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. |

## Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the *GetLastErrorCode()* method to obtain its result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

# Reset Method ([AuthenticodeVerifier](#authenticodeverifier-class) Class)

Resets the class settings.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Reset();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Reset();
```

## Remarks

Reset is a generic method available in every class.

## Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the *GetLastErrorCode()* method after it returns.)

# Verify Method ([AuthenticodeVerifier](#authenticodeverifier-class) Class)

Verifies a digitally signed executable.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Verify();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Verify();
```

## Remarks

Use this method to verify all signatures in the executable provided via [InputFile](#inputfile-property-authenticodeverifier-class) or via InputStream.

During the verification process, the [SignatureFound](#signaturefound-event-authenticodeverifier-class), [SignatureValidated](#signaturevalidated-event-authenticodeverifier-class), [TimestampFound](#timestampfound-event-authenticodeverifier-class) and [TimestampValidated](#timestampvalidated-event-authenticodeverifier-class) events are fired to provide details about the signatures and timestamps.

After this method is executed, the [Signature](#signature-property-authenticodeverifier-class) property contains information about the last verified signature.

## Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the *GetLastErrorCode()* method after it returns.)

# ChainElementDownload Event ([AuthenticodeVerifier](#authenticodeverifier-class) Class)

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 class, the exact action it is performing, or the document being processed, one or both may be omitted.

# SignatureFound Event ([AuthenticodeVerifier](#authenticodeverifier-class) Class)

Signifies the start of signature validation.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireSignatureFound(AuthenticodeVerifierSignatureFoundEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  const char *IssuerRDN;  const char *SerialNumber;
  int lenSerialNumber;  const char *SubjectKeyID;

  INT reserved;
} AuthenticodeVerifierSignatureFoundEventParams;
```

## Remarks

This event tells the application that signature validation is about to start, and provides the details about the signer's certificate via its *IssuerRDN*, *SerialNumber*, and *SubjectKeyID* parameters. It fires for every signature located in the verified document or message.

The *CertFound* parameter is set to True if the class has found the needed certificate in one of the known locations, and to False otherwise, in which case you must provide it manually via the [KnownCertificates](#knowncertificates-property-authenticodeverifier-class) property.

Signature validation consists of two independent stages: cryptographic signature validation and chain validation. Separate validation results are reported for each, with the [SignatureValidationResult](#PDFSignature_f_SignatureValidationResult) and [ChainValidationResult](#PDFSignature_f_ChainValidationResult) properties respectively.

Use the *ValidateSignature* and *ValidateChain* parameters to tell the verifier which stages to include in the validation.

# SignatureValidated Event ([AuthenticodeVerifier](#authenticodeverifier-class) Class)

Marks the completion of the signature validation routine.

## Syntax

```text

# TLSCertNeeded Event ([AuthenticodeVerifier](#authenticodeverifier-class) Class)

Fires when a remote TLS party requests a client certificate.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireTLSCertNeeded(AuthenticodeVerifierTLSCertNeededEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  const char *Host;  const char *CANames;
  int reserved;
} AuthenticodeVerifierTLSCertNeededEventParams;

Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireTLSCertNeeded(AuthenticodeVerifierTLSCertNeededEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  LPCWSTR Host;  LPCWSTR CANames;
  INT reserved;
} AuthenticodeVerifierTLSCertNeededEventParams;
```

## Remarks

This event fires to notify the implementation that a remote TLS server has requested a client certificate. The *Host* parameter identifies the host that makes a request, and the *CANames* parameter (optional, according to the TLS spec) advises on the accepted issuing CAs.

Use the [TLSClientChain](#tlsclientchain-property-authenticodeverifier-class) property in response to this event to provide the requested certificate. Please make sure the client certificate includes the associated private key. Note that you may set the certificates before the connection without waiting for this event to fire.

This event is preceded by the [TLSHandshake](#tlshandshake-event-authenticodeverifier-class) event for the given host and, if the certificate was accepted, succeeded by the [TLSEstablished](#tlsestablished-event-authenticodeverifier-class) event.

# TLSCertValidate Event ([AuthenticodeVerifier](#authenticodeverifier-class) Class)

This event is fired upon receipt of the TLS server's certificate, allowing the user to control its acceptance.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireTLSCertValidate(AuthenticodeVerifierTLSCertValidateEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  const char *ServerHost;  const char *ServerIP;  int Accept;

typedef struct {  LPCWSTR ServerHost;  LPCWSTR ServerIP;  BOOL Accept;
  INT reserved;
} AuthenticodeVerifierTLSCertValidateEventParams;
```

## Remarks

This event is fired during a TLS handshake. Use the [TLSServerChain](#tlsserverchain-property-authenticodeverifier-class) property to access the certificate chain. In general, classes may contact a number of TLS endpoints during their work, depending on their configuration.

*Accept* is assigned in accordance with the outcome of the internal validation check performed by the class, and can be adjusted if needed.

# TLSEstablished Event ([AuthenticodeVerifier](#authenticodeverifier-class) Class)

Fires when a TLS handshake with Host successfully completes.

## Syntax

virtual int FireTLSEstablished(AuthenticodeVerifierTLSEstablishedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  const char *Host;  const char *Version;  const char *Ciphersuite;  const char *ConnectionId;
  int lenConnectionId;  int Abort;
  int reserved;
} AuthenticodeVerifierTLSEstablishedEventParams;

Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireTLSEstablished(AuthenticodeVerifierTLSEstablishedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  LPCWSTR Host;  LPCWSTR Version;  LPCWSTR Ciphersuite;  LPCSTR ConnectionId;
  INT lenConnectionId;  BOOL Abort;
  INT reserved;
} AuthenticodeVerifierTLSEstablishedEventParams;
```

## Remarks

The class uses this event to notify the application about a successful completion of a TLS handshake.

The *Version*, *Ciphersuite*, and *ConnectionId* parameters indicate the security parameters of the new connection. Use the *Abort* parameter if you need to terminate the connection at this stage.

# TLSHandshake Event ([AuthenticodeVerifier](#authenticodeverifier-class) Class)

Fires when a new TLS handshake is initiated, before the handshake commences.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireTLSHandshake(AuthenticodeVerifierTLSHandshakeEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  const char *Host;  int Abort;
  int reserved;
} AuthenticodeVerifierTLSHandshakeEventParams;

Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireTLSHandshake(AuthenticodeVerifierTLSHandshakeEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  LPCWSTR Host;  BOOL Abort;
  INT reserved;
} AuthenticodeVerifierTLSHandshakeEventParams;
```

## Remarks

The class uses this event to notify the application about the start of a new TLS handshake to *Host*. If the handshake is successful, this event will be followed by the [TLSEstablished](#tlsestablished-event-authenticodeverifier-class) event. If the server chooses to request a client certificate, the [TLSCertNeeded](#tlscertneeded-event-authenticodeverifier-class) event will also be fired.

# TLSShutdown Event ([AuthenticodeVerifier](#authenticodeverifier-class) Class)

Reports the graceful closure of a TLS connection.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireTLSShutdown(AuthenticodeVerifierTLSShutdownEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  const char *Host;
  int reserved;
} AuthenticodeVerifierTLSShutdownEventParams;

Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireTLSShutdown(AuthenticodeVerifierTLSShutdownEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  LPCWSTR Host;
  INT reserved;
} AuthenticodeVerifierTLSShutdownEventParams;
```

## Remarks

This event notifies the application about the closure of an earlier established TLS connection. Note that only graceful connection closures are reported.

## Fields

 **Bytes** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: *

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

 **CA** *int*
*Default Value: FALSE*

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 field when generating a new certificate to have its Basic Constraints extension generated automatically.

 **CAKeyID** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: *

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.md#CertificateManager) generates this setting automatically if enough information is available to it: for self-signed certificates, this value is copied from the [SubjectKeyID](#Certificate_f_SubjectKeyID) setting, and for lower-level certificates, from the parent certificate's subject key ID extension.

 **CertType** *int (read-only)*
*Default Value: 0*

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

A [Certificate](#certificate-type) 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.md#CertificateManager) class to load or create new certificate and certificate requests objects.

 **CRLDistributionPoints** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

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 field 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.

 **Curve** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

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

 **Fingerprint** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

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.

 **FriendlyName** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

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.

 **Handle** *int64*
*Default Value: 0*

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());
```

 **HashAlgorithm** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

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 [SigAlgorithm](#Certificate_f_SigAlgorithm) to find out the hash algorithm that is part of the certificate signature.

 **Issuer** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

The common name of the certificate issuer (CA), typically a company name. This is part of a larger set of credentials available via [IssuerRDN](#Certificate_f_IssuerRDN).

 **IssuerRDN** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

A list of *Property=Value* pairs that uniquely identify the certificate issuer.

Example: */C=US/O=Nationwide CA/CN=Web Certification Authority*

 **KeyAlgorithm** *char**
*Default Value: "0"*

Specifies the public key algorithm of this certificate.

Use the [KeyBits](#Certificate_f_KeyBits), [Curve](#Certificate_f_Curve), and [PublicKeyBytes](#Certificate_f_PublicKeyBytes) fields to get more details about the key the certificate contains.

 **KeyBits** *int (read-only)*
*Default Value: 0*

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 [PublicKeyBytes](#Certificate_f_PublicKeyBytes) or [PrivateKeyBytes](#Certificate_f_PrivateKeyBytes) field would typically contain auxiliary values, and therefore be longer.

 **KeyFingerprint** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

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 [Fingerprint](#Certificate_f_Fingerprint) field. The key fingerprint uniquely identifies the public key, and so can be the same for multiple certificates containing the same key.

 **KeyUsage** *int*
*Default Value: 0*

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 |
| ckuNonRepudiation | 0x00002 | Non-repudiation |
| ckuKeyEncipherment | 0x00004 | Key encipherment |
| ckuDataEncipherment | 0x00008 | Data encipherment |
| ckuKeyAgreement | 0x00010 | Key agreement |
| ckuKeyCertSign | 0x00020 | Certificate signing |
| ckuCRLSign | 0x00040 | Revocation signing |
| ckuEncipherOnly | 0x00080 | Encipher only |
| ckuDecipherOnly | 0x00100 | Decipher only |
| 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 field before generating the certificate to propagate the key usage flags to the new certificate.

 **KeyValid** *int (read-only)*
*Default Value: FALSE*

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

 **OCSPLocations** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

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

Set this field before calling the certificate manager's [Generate](CertificateManager.md#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.

 **OCSPNoCheck** *int*
*Default Value: FALSE*

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

 **Origin** *int (read-only)*
*Default Value: 0*

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

 **PolicyIDs** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

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 field 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.

 **PrivateKeyBytes** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: *

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

 **PrivateKeyExists** *int (read-only)*
*Default Value: FALSE*

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 field is independent from [PrivateKeyBytes](#Certificate_f_PrivateKeyBytes), 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.

 **PrivateKeyExtractable** *int (read-only)*
*Default Value: FALSE*

Indicates whether the private key is extractable (exportable).

 **PublicKeyBytes** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: *

Contains the certificate's public key in DER format.

This typically would contain an ASN.1-encoded public key value. The exact format depends on the type of the public key contained in the certificate.

 **Qualified** *int (read-only)*
*Default Value: FALSE*

Indicates whether the certificate is qualified.

This property is set to *True* if the certificate is confirmed by a Trusted List to be qualified.

 **QualifiedStatements** *int*
*Default Value: 0*

Returns a simplified qualified status of the certificate.

 **Qualifiers** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

A list of qualifiers.

Contains a comma-separated list of qualifier aliases for the certificate, for example *QCP-n-qscd,QCWithSSCD*.

 **SelfSigned** *int (read-only)*
*Default Value: FALSE*

Indicates whether the certificate is self-signed (root) or signed by an external CA.

 **SerialNumber** *char**
*Default Value: *

Returns the certificate's serial number.

The serial number is a binary string that uniquely identifies a certificate among others issued by the same CA. According to the X.509 standard, the (issuer, serial number) pair should be globally unique to facilitate chain building.

 **SigAlgorithm** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

Indicates the algorithm that was used by the CA to sign this certificate.

A signature algorithm typically combines hash and public key algorithms together, such as *sha256WithRSAEncryption* or *ecdsa-with-SHA256*.

 **Source** *int (read-only)*
*Default Value: 0*

Returns the source (location or disposition) of a cryptographic primitive entity, such as a certificate, CRL, or OCSP response.

 **Subject** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

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 [SubjectRDN](#Certificate_f_SubjectRDN).

 **SubjectAlternativeName** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

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 [SubjectRDN](#Certificate_f_SubjectRDN) 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.

 **SubjectKeyID** *char**
*Default Value: *

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 [SubjectKeyID](#Certificate_f_SubjectKeyID) and [CAKeyID](#Certificate_f_CAKeyID) fields of self-signed certificates typically contain identical values, as in that specific case, the issuer and the subject are the same entity.

 **SubjectRDN** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

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

Depending on the purpose of the certificate and the policies of the CA that issued it, the values included in the subject record may differ drastically and contain business or personal names, web URLs, email addresses, and other data.

Example: */C=US/O=Oranges and Apples, Inc./OU=Accounts Receivable/1.2.3.4.5=Value with unknown OID/CN=Margaret Watkins*.

 **Valid** *int (read-only)*
*Default Value: FALSE*

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.

 **ValidFrom** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

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

 **ValidTo** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

The time point at which the certificate expires, in UTC.

## Constructors

# CRL Type

Represents a Certificate Revocation List.

## Syntax

 *SecureBlackboxCRL* (declared in *secureblackbox.h*)

## Remarks

CRLs store information about revoked certificates, i.e., certificates that have been identified as invalid by their issuing certificate authority (CA) for any number of reasons.

Each CRL object lists certificates from a single CA and identifies them by their serial numbers. A CA may or may not publish a CRL, may publish several CRLs, or may publish the same CRL in multiple locations.

Unlike OCSP responses, CRLs only list certificates that have been revoked. They do not list certificates that are still valid.

The following fields are available:

- [Bytes](#CRL_f_Bytes)

- [CAKeyID](#CRL_f_CAKeyID)

- [EntryCount](#CRL_f_EntryCount)

- [Handle](#CRL_f_Handle)

- [Issuer](#CRL_f_Issuer)

- [IssuerRDN](#CRL_f_IssuerRDN)

- [Location](#CRL_f_Location)

- [NextUpdate](#CRL_f_NextUpdate)

- [SigAlgorithm](#CRL_f_SigAlgorithm)

- [Source](#CRL_f_Source)

- [TBS](#CRL_f_TBS)

- [ThisUpdate](#CRL_f_ThisUpdate)

## Fields

 **Bytes** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: *

Returns the raw CRL data in DER format.

 **CAKeyID** *char**
*Default Value: *

A unique identifier (fingerprint) of the CA certificate's private key, if present in the CRL.

 **EntryCount** *int (read-only)*
*Default Value: 0*

Returns the number of certificate status entries in the CRL.

 **Handle** *int64*
*Default Value: 0*

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());
```

 **Issuer** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

The common name of the CRL issuer (CA), typically a company name.

 **IssuerRDN** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

A collection of information, in the form of [OID, Value] pairs, uniquely identifying the CRL issuer.

 **Location** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

 **NextUpdate** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

The planned time and date of the next version of this CRL to be published.

 **SigAlgorithm** *char**
*Default Value: "0"*

The public key algorithm that was used by the CA to sign this CRL.

 **Source** *int (read-only)*
*Default Value: 0*

Returns the source (location or disposition) of a cryptographic primitive entity, such as a certificate, CRL, or OCSP response.

 **TBS** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: *

The to-be-signed part of the CRL (the CRL without the signature part).

 **ThisUpdate** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

The date and time at which this version of the CRL was published.

## Constructors

 **Groups** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

Specifies a list of key exchange groups to attempt during the TLS key exchange.

Keep this setting at its default value (empty string) to stick with the default list of key exchange groups. You can tweak the list by using '+' and '-' modifiers that are immediately followed by a group name or the *all* placeholder:

```text
  // Ensure the two x25519-based groups are enabled and the finite field DHE2048 is disabled
  client.TLSSettings.Groups = "+x25519mlkem768;+x25519;-ffdhe2048";

  // Only enable the hybrid X25519/ML-KEM768 group
  client.TLSSettings.Groups = "-all;+x25519mlkem768";

 **PreSharedIdentity** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

Defines the identity used when the PSK (Pre-Shared Key) key-exchange mechanism is negotiated.

 **PreSharedKey** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

Contains the pre-shared key for the PSK (Pre-Shared Key) key-exchange mechanism, encoded with base16.

 **PreSharedKeyCiphersuite** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

Defines the ciphersuite used for PSK (Pre-Shared Key) negotiation.

 **RenegotiationAttackPreventionMode** *int*
*Default Value: 2*

Selects the renegotiation attack prevention mechanism.

The following options are available:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| crapmCompatible | 0 | TLS 1.0 and 1.1 compatibility mode (renegotiation indication extension is disabled). |
| crapmStrict | 1 | Renegotiation attack prevention is enabled and enforced. |
| crapmAuto | 2 | Automatically choose whether to enable or disable renegotiation attack prevention. |

 **RevocationCheck** *int*
*Default Value: 1*

Specifies the kind(s) of revocation check to perform.

Revocation checking is necessary to ensure the integrity of the chain and obtain up-to-date certificate validity and trustworthiness information.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| crcNone | 0 | No revocation checking. |
| crcAuto | 1 | Automatic mode selection. Currently this maps to crcAnyOCSPOrCRL, but it may change in the future. |
| crcAllCRL | 2 | All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed. |
| crcAllOCSP | 3 | All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed. |
| crcAllCRLAndOCSP | 4 | All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed. |
| crcAnyCRL | 5 | All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. |
| crcAnyOCSP | 6 | All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. |
| crcAnyCRLOrOCSP | 7 | All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. CRL endpoints are checked first. |
| crcAnyOCSPOrCRL | 8 | All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. OCSP endpoints are checked first. |

This setting controls the way the revocation checks are performed for every certificate in the chain. Typically certificates come with two types of revocation information sources: CRL (certificate revocation lists) and OCSP responders. CRLs are static objects periodically published by the CA at some online location. OCSP responders are active online services maintained by the CA that can provide up-to-date information on certificate statuses in near real time.

There are some conceptual differences between the two. CRLs are normally larger in size. Their use involves some latency because there is normally some delay between the time when a certificate was revoked and the time the subsequent CRL mentioning that is published. The benefits of CRL is that the same object can provide statuses for all certificates issued by a particular CA, and that the whole technology is much simpler than OCSP (and thus is supported by more CAs).

This setting lets you adjust the validation course by including or excluding certain types of revocation sources from the validation process. The crcAnyOCSPOrCRL setting (give preference to the faster OCSP route and only demand one source to succeed) is a good choice for most typical validation environments. The "crcAll*" modes are much stricter, and may be used in scenarios where bulletproof validity information is essential.

NOTE: If no CRL or OCSP endpoints are provided by the CA, the revocation check will be considered successful. This is because the CA chose not to supply revocation information for its certificates, meaning they are considered irrevocable.

NOTE: Within each of the above settings, if any retrieved CRL or OCSP response indicates that the certificate has been revoked, the revocation check fails.

 **SSLOptions** *int*
*Default Value: 16*

# SecureBlackboxList Type

## Syntax

 *SecureBlackboxList<T>* (declared in *secureblackbox.h*)

## Remarks

 *SecureBlackboxList* is a generic class that is used to hold a collection of objects of type *T*, where *T* is one of the custom types supported by the AuthenticodeVerifier class.

```text
int GetCount() {}
```

```text
int SetCount(int count) {}
```

```text
T* Get(int index) {}
```

```text
T* Set(int index, T* value) {}
```

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| Methods |  |
| GetCount | This method returns the current size of the collection. |
| SetCount | This method sets the size of the collection. This method returns 0 if setting the size was successful; or -1 if the collection is ReadOnly. When adding additional objects to a collection call this method to specify the new size. Increasing the size of the collection preserves existing objects in the collection. |
| Get | This method gets the item at the specified position. The index parameter specifies the index of the item in the collection. This method returns NULL if an invalid index is specified. |
| Set | This method sets the item at the specified position. The index parameter specifies the index of the item in the collection that is being set. This method returns -1 if an invalid index is specified. Note: Objects created using the new operator must be freed using the delete operator; they will not be automatically freed by the class. |

# Config Settings ([AuthenticodeVerifier](#authenticodeverifier-class) Class)

 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-authenticodeverifier-class) method.

### AuthenticodeVerifier Config Settings

**BufferSize**: Specifies buffer size in bytes.Use this property to set the buffer size (in bytes) that should be used when processing binaries. The default value is 1048576 (1 MB).

**ChainCurrentCACert**: Returns the current CA certificate.This property returns the CA certificate that is used on the current step.

**ChainCurrentCert**: Returns the certificate that is currently being validated.Use this property to obtain the body of the certificate that is currently being validated.

**ChainCurrentCRL**: Returns the current CRL.Returns the CRL object that is currently being processed.

**ChainCurrentCRLSize**: Returns the size of the current CRL.This property returns the size of the CRL object that is currently being processed.

**ChainCurrentOCSP**: Returns the current OCSP response.Returns the OCSP object that is currently being processed.

**ChainCurrentOCSPSigner**: Returns the signer of the current OCSP object.Returns the signer/CA that has issued the OCSP response that is currently being processed.

**ChainInterimDetails**: Returns the current interim validation details.This property returns the interim chain validation details.

**ChainInterimResult**: Returns the current interim validation result.Use this setting to obtain the current (mid-chain) validation result. This property applies to the current validation step and may change as the chain walk proceeds. The final result will be published in the ChainValidationResult property once the validation process completes.

**CheckValidityPeriodForTrusted**: Whether to check validity period for trusted certificates.Whether to check validity period for trusted certificates.

**DelayVerification**: Specifies whether signatures validation should be delayed.Use this property to delay signatures validation until [SignatureFound](#signaturefound-event-authenticodeverifier-class) is called. The default value is *false*.

This is useful to speedup getting the signature(s) information. Set this property to *true* and then return *false* from the [SignatureFound](#signaturefound-event-authenticodeverifier-class) event in the *ValidateSignature* parameter. In this case, the class will not calculate file digests and its checksum until at least one signature is validated.

**DislikeOpenEndedOCSPs**: Tells the class 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 class 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).

**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.

**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.

**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.

**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 class should respect the trust to CA certificates as configured in the operating system. In Windows this effectively defines whether the class 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](#trustedcertificates-property-authenticodeverifier-class) property) are considered trusted.

**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.

**PromoteLongOCSPResponses**: Whether long OCSP responses are requested. Set this property to True to force the class to publish the 'long' form of OCSP responses. Otherwise, only BasicOCSPResponse blobs are promoted.

**SignatureCount**: Returns the number of signatures in the executable.Use this configuration setting to retrieve the number of signatures in the executable.

**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.

**TLSChainValidationDetails**: Contains the advanced details of the TLS server certificate validation.Check this property in the TLSCertValidate event handler to access the TLS certificate validation details.

**TLSChainValidationResult**: Contains the result of the TLS server certificate validation.Check this property in the TLSCertValidate event handler to obtain the TLS certificate validation result.

**TLSClientAuthRequested**: Indicates whether the TLS server requests client authentication.Check this property in the TLSCertValidate event handler to find out whether the TLS server requests the client to provide the authentication certificate. If this property is set to true, provide your certificate via the TLSClientChain property. Note that the class may fire this event more than once during each operation, as more than one TLS-enabled server may need to be contacted.

**TLSValidationLog**: Contains the log of the TLS server certificate validation.Check this property in the TLSCertValidate event handler to retrieve the validation log of the TLS server.

**TolerateMinorChainIssues**: Whether to tolerate minor chain issues.This parameter controls whether the chain validator should tolerate minor technical issues when validating the chain. Those are:

- CA, revocation source, TLS key usage requirements are not mandated
- Violation of OCSP issuer requirements are ignored
- The AuthorityKeyID extension in CRL- and certificate-issuing CAs are ignored (helps with incorrectly renewed certificates)
- Basic constraints and name constraints of CA certificates are ignored
- Some weaker algorithms are tolerated

**UseEnvStorages**: Enables or disables use of the environment storages.Enable this property to make the chain validation module automatically look up missing CA and intermediate certificates in the environment storages.

**UseMicrosoftCTL**: Enables or disables the automatic use of the Microsoft online certificate trust list.Enable this property to make the chain validation module automatically look up missing CA certificates in the public Windows Update repository.

**UseSystemCertificates**: Enables or disables the use of the system certificates.Use this property to tell the chain validation module to automatically look up missing CA certificates in the system certificates. In many cases it is beneficial to switch this property on, as the operating system certificate configuration provides a representative trust framework.

**UseValidationCache**: Enables or disable the use of the product-wide certificate chain validation cache.Use this property to enable or disable the use of the global chain validation cache. If enabled, the class will consult the product-wide validation cache when validating the signing chains. Also, the outcomes of any new chain validations performed by the class, both interim and final, will be saved in the cache and available for re-use by any future validations. Disable this property to ignore the cache and always perform the validation from a fresh start.

**UseValidatorSettingsForTLSValidation**: Whether to employ the primary chain validator setup for auxiliary TLS chain validations.Use this property to specify whether you would like to use the primary (AdES) chain validator component to validate TLS chains for any connections involved (OCSP, CRL).

### 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 class.

Supported values are:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| off |  | No caching (default) |
| local |  | Local caching |
| global |  | Global caching |

**Cookies**: Gets or sets local cookies for the class.Use this property to get cookies from the internal cookie storage of the class and/or restore them back between application sessions.

**DefDeriveKeyIterations**: Specifies the default key derivation algorithm iteration count.This global property sets the default number of iterations for all supported key derivation algorithms. Note that you can provide the required number of iterations by using properties of the relevant key generation component; this global setting is used in scenarios where specific iteration count is not or cannot be provided.

**DNSLocalSuffix**: The suffix to assign for TLD names.Use this global setting to adjust the default suffix to assign to top-level domain names. The default is *.local*.

**EnableClientSideSSLFFDHE**: Enables or disables finite field DHE key exchange support in TLS clients.This global property enables or disables support for finite field DHE key exchange methods in TLS clients. FF DHE is a slower algorithm if compared to EC DHE; enabling it may result in slower connections.

This setting only applies to sessions negotiated with TLS version 1.3.

**EnableSSHMLKEM**: Enables support for ML-KEM/hybrid key exchange algorithms in SSH client and server components.Use this setting to enable hybrid key exchange algorithms in client and server SSH and SFTP components. This is a global setting that enables ML-KEM blanketly in all SSH-dependent components.

**EnableTLSMLKEM**: Enables support for ML-KEM and hybrid groups in TLS client and server components.Use this setting to enable ML-KEM and hybrid key exchange groups in client and server TLS components. This is a global setting that enables ML-KEM blanketly in all TLS-dependent components.

**GlobalCookies**: Gets or sets global cookies for all the HTTP transports.Use this property to get cookies from the GLOBAL cookie storage or restore them back between application sessions. These cookies will be used by all the classes that have its *CookieCaching* property set to "global".

**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). |
| enable | Always attempt to use hardware cryptography. If unavailable, exception will be thrown. |
| disable | Do not use hardware cryptography. |

**HttpUserAgent**: Specifies the user agent name to be used by all HTTP clients.This global setting defines the User-Agent field of the HTTP request provides information about the software that initiates the request. This value will be used by all the HTTP clients including the ones used internally in other classes.

**HttpVersion**: The HTTP version to use in any inner HTTP client components created.Set this property to 1.0 or 1.1 to indicate the HTTP version that any internal HTTP clients should use.

**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.

**LogDestination**: Specifies the debug log destination.Contains a comma-separated list of values that specifies where debug log should be dumped.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| none |  | No flush (caching only) |
| immediate |  | Immediate flush (real-time logging) |
| maxcount |  | Flush cached entries upon reaching LogMaxEventCount entries in the cache. |

**LogLevel**: Specifies the debug log level.Use this property to provide the desired debug log level.

| trace |  | More detailed information. |

**LogMaxEventCount**: Specifies the maximum number of events to cache before further action is taken.Use this property to specify the log event number threshold. This threshold may have different effects, depending on the rotation setting and/or the flush mode.

The default value of this setting is 100.

**LogRotationMode**: Specifies the log rotation mode.Use this property to set the log rotation mode. The following values are defined:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| none |  | No rotation |

| keepolder |  | Keep older entries in the cache upon reaching LogMaxEventCount (newer entries are discarded) |

**MaxASN1BufferLength**: Specifies the maximal allowed length for ASN.1 primitive tag data.This global property limits the maximal allowed length for ASN.1 tag data for non-content-carrying structures, such as certificates, CRLs, or timestamps. It does not affect structures that can carry content, such as CMS/CAdES messages. This is a security property aiming at preventing DoS attacks.

**MaxASN1TreeDepth**: Specifies the maximal depth for processed ASN.1 trees.This global property limits the maximal depth of ASN.1 trees that the component can handle without throwing an error. This is a security property aiming at preventing DoS attacks.

**OCSPHashAlgorithm**: Specifies the hash algorithm to be used to identify certificates in OCSP requests.This global setting defines the hash algorithm to use in OCSP requests during chain validation. Some OCSP responders can only use older algorithms, in which case setting this property to SHA1 may be helpful.

**OldClientSideRSAFallback**: Specifies whether the SSH client should use a SHA1 fallback.Tells the SSH client to use a legacy ssh-rsa authentication even if the server indicates support for newer algorithms, such as rsa-sha-256. This is a backward-compatibility tweak.

**PKICache**: Specifies which PKI elements (certificates, CRLs, OCSP responses) should be cached.The PKICache setting specifies which Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) elements should be cached to optimize performance and reduce retrieval times. It supports comma-separated values to indicate the specific types of PKI data that should be cached.

Supported Values:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| certificate | Enables caching of certificates. |
| crl | Enables caching of Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs). |
| ocsp | Enables caching of OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) responses. |

Example (default value):

```text
PKICache=certificate,crl,ocsp
```

 In this example, the component caches certificates, CRLs, and OCSP responses.

**PKICachePath**: Specifies the file system path where cached PKI data is stored.The PKICachePath setting defines the file system path where cached PKI data (e.g., certificates, CRLs, OCSP responses and Trusted Lists) will be stored. 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).

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

Supported values are:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| none |  | No static DNS rules (default) |

**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 class) 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 class is set to "*local*", the property returns/restores the rules from/to the internal storage of the class. If *StaticDNS* of the class 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 classes.

**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.
