# MessageSigner Class The MessageSigner class digitally signs data and stores it in the PKCS#7 format. ## Syntax ```text MessageSigner ``` ## Remarks PKCS#7 (Public Key Cryptography Standard #7) is a common format used to store encrypted and signed data. It is used by a variety of protocols, including S/MIME and CMS. MessageSigner can sign binary data into PKCS#7 SignedData and AuthenticatedData subformats. RSA, ECDSA, and EdDSA algorithms are supported. Setting up and using MessageSigner is easy: - Set up your source and destination via [InputFile](#inputfile-property-messagesigner-class) ([InputBytes](#inputbytes-property-messagesigner-class)) and [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-messagesigner-class) ([OutputBytes](#outputbytes-property-messagesigner-class)) properties. - Set [SignatureType](#signaturetype-property-messagesigner-class) as per the desired signature type (PKCS#7 SignedData or AuthenticatedData, or PKCS#1) and the detached option. - Set signature properties, such as [ClaimedSigningTime](#claimedsigningtime-property-messagesigner-class) and attributes ([AddAttribute](#addattribute-method-messagesigner-class)). - For the SignedData-type signature (most commonly used), assign the signing certificate with its private key to the [SigningCertificate](#signingcertificate-property-messagesigner-class) property. - For the AuthenticatedData-type signature, assign the recipient's certificate to [RecipientCertificate](#recipientcertificate-property-messagesigner-class) property. - Optionally provide the timestamping server URL to [TimestampServer](#timestampserver-property-messagesigner-class). - Call [Sign](#sign-method-messagesigner-class) to execute the operation. Note that MessageSigner always produces binary PKCS#7-compliant signed messages. For S/MIME email signing, see [MailWriter](MailWriter.md#MailWriter). For PGP signing, see [PGPWriter](PGPWriter.md#PGPWriter). For XML-SIG encryption, see [XMLSigner](XMLSigner.md#XMLSigner). MessageSigner is a simplified form of [CAdESSigner](CAdESSigner.md#CAdESSigner). Both classes work with PKCS#7 signed messages. [CAdESSigner](CAdESSigner.md#CAdESSigner), however, provides support for advanced (CAdES) signatures, including long-term validity, archival, and full chain validation capabilities. These advanced capabilities are absent from MessageSigner, which is only capable of creating basic PKCS#7 signatures. ```text MessageSigner signer = new MessageSigner(); signer.setHashAlgorithm("SHA256"); // Default hashing algorithm SHA256 // Select the file which contains the message that will be signed signer.setInputFile("message.txt"); // Select the file where the signed message will be written signer.setOutputFile("signedMessage.bin"); // Specify the certificate that shall be used for signing the data signer.setSigningCertificate(new Certificate("cert.pfx","password")); // Provide the address of the Time Stamping Authority (TSA) server to be used for timestamping the signature signer.setTimestampServer("http://..."); signer.sign(); // Sign ``` ## Property List *The following is the full list of the properties of the class with short descriptions.

This is a "recipient's" certificate, and as such it does not need to have an associated private key. The certificate is used with [SignatureType](#signaturetype-property-messagesigner-class) set to one of the MAC options to generate an encrypted session key block. Upon receiving the signed message, the recipient decrypts the HMAC key and uses that to verify the integrity of the message. This property is not available at design time. ## Data Type [SecureBlackboxCertificate](#certificate-type) # SignatureType Property ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) Specifies the kind of signature to create. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int GetSignatureType();int SetSignatureType(int iSignatureType); Unicode (Windows) INT GetSignatureType();INT SetSignatureType(INT iSignatureType); ``` ## Possible Values ```text ST_UNKNOWN(0), ST_PKCS1DETACHED(1), ST_PKCS7DETACHED(2), ST_PKCS7ENVELOPING(3), ST_PKCS7MACDETACHED(4), ST_PKCS7MACENVELOPING(5) ``` ## Default Value 2 ## Remarks Possible values: | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | stUnknown | 0 | Unknown or unsupported signature types | | stPKCS1Detached | 1 | Detached PKCS#1 signature | | stPKCS7Detached | 2 | Detached PKCS#7 signature | | stPKCS7Enveloping | 3 | Enveloping PKCS#7 signature | | stPKCS7MACDetached | 4 | Detached PKCS#7 MAC signature | | stPKCS7MACEnveloping | 5 | Enveloping PKCS#7 MAC signature | ## Data Type Integer # SignedAttributes Property ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) Custom signature attributes to be covered by the electronic signature. ## Syntax ```text SecureBlackboxList* GetSignedAttributes(); ``` ## Remarks Signature attributes are used to store auxiliary information in the signature. Values included as signed attributes are covered by the signature. This property is read-only and not available at design time. ## Data Type [SecureBlackboxSignatureAttribute](#signatureattribute-type) # SigningCertificate Property ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) The certificate to be used for signing. ## Syntax ```text SecureBlackboxCertificate* GetSigningCertificate(); int SetSigningCertificate(SecureBlackboxCertificate* val); ``` ## Remarks Use this property to specify the certificate that shall be used for signing the data. Note that this certificate should have a private key associated with it. Use [SigningChain](#signingchain-property-messagesigner-class) to supply the rest of the certificate chain for inclusion into the signature. This property is not available at design time. ## Data Type [SecureBlackboxCertificate](#certificate-type) # SigningChain Property ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) The signing certificate chain. ## Syntax ```text SecureBlackboxList* GetSigningChain(); int SetSigningChain(SecureBlackboxList* val); ``` ## Remarks Use this property to provide the chain for the signing certificate.

This property is read-only. ## Data Type [SecureBlackboxSocketSettings](#socketsettings-type) # TimestampServer Property ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) The address of the timestamping server. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) char* GetTimestampServer();int SetTimestampServer(const char* lpszTimestampServer); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetTimestampServer();INT SetTimestampServer(LPCWSTR lpszTimestampServer); ``` ## Default Value "" ## Remarks Use this property to provide the address of the Time Stamping Authority (TSA) server to be used for timestamping the signature. SecureBlackbox supports RFC3161-compliant timestamping servers, available via HTTP or HTTPS. If your timestamping service enforces credential-based user authentication (basic or digest), you can provide the credentials in the same URL: http://user:password@timestamp.server.com/TsaService For TSAs using certificate-based TLS authentication, provide the client certificate via the [TLSClientChain](#tlsclientchain-property-messagesigner-class) property. If this property is left empty, no timestamp will be added to the signature. Starting from summer 2021 update (Vol. 2), the *virtual* timestamping service is supported, which allows you to intervene in the timestamping routine and provide your own handling for the TSA exchange. This may be handy if the service that you are requesting timestamps from uses a non-standard TSP protocol or requires special authentication option. To employ the virtual service, assign an URI of the following format to this property: virtual://localhost?hashonly=true&includecerts=true&reqpolicy=1.2.3.4.5&halg=SHA256&ignorenonce=true Subscribe to [Notification](#notification-event-messagesigner-class) event to get notified about the virtualized timestamping event. The EventID of the timestamping event is TimestampRequest. Inside the event handler, read the base16-encoded request from the EventParam parameter and forward it to the timestamping authority. Upon receiving the response, pass it back to the component, encoded in base16, via the TimestampResponse config property: component.Config("TimestampResponse=308208ab..."); Note that all the exchange with your custom TSA should take place within the same invocation of the Notification event. The *hashonly* parameter of the virtual URI tells the component to only return the timestamp message imprint via the EventParam parameter. If set to false, EventParam will contain the complete RFC3161 timestamping request. The *includecerts* parameter specifies that the requestCertificates parameter of the timestamping request should be set to true. The *reqpolicy* parameter lets you specify the request policy, and the *halg* parameter specifies the hash algorithm to use for timestamping. The *ignorenonce* parameter allows you to switch off client nonce verification to enable compatibility with TSA services that do not support nonce mirroring. All the parameters are optional. ## Data Type String # TLSClientChain Property ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) The TLS client certificate chain. ## Syntax ```text SecureBlackboxList* GetTLSClientChain(); int SetTLSClientChain(SecureBlackboxList* val); ``` ## Remarks Assign a certificate chain to this property to enable TLS client authentication in the class. Note that the client's end-entity certificate should have a private key associated with it. Use the [CertificateStorage](CertificateStorage.md#CertificateStorage) or [CertificateManager](CertificateManager.md#CertificateManager) components to import the certificate from a file, system store, or PKCS11 device. This property is not available at design time. ## Data Type [SecureBlackboxCertificate](#certificate-type) # TLSServerChain Property ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) The TLS server's certificate chain. ## Syntax ```text SecureBlackboxList* GetTLSServerChain(); ``` ## Remarks Use this property to access the certificate chain sent by the TLS server. This property is ready to read when the [TLSCertValidate](#tlscertvalidate-event-messagesigner-class) event is fired by the client component. This property is read-only and not available at design time. ## Data Type [SecureBlackboxCertificate](#certificate-type) # TLSSettings Property ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) Manages TLS layer settings. ## Syntax ```text SecureBlackboxTLSSettings* GetTLSSettings(); ``` ## Remarks Use this property to tune up the TLS layer parameters. This property is read-only. ## Data Type [SecureBlackboxTLSSettings](#tlssettings-type) # UnsignedAttributes Property ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) Custom unsigned attributes to be included in the electronic signature. ## Syntax ```text SecureBlackboxList* GetUnsignedAttributes(); ``` ## Remarks Signature attributes are used to store auxiliary information in the signature. Values included as unsigned attributes are not covered by the signature and can be changed or removed without affecting the signature. This property is read-only and not available at design time. ## Data Type [SecureBlackboxSignatureAttribute](#signatureattribute-type) # AddAttribute Method ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) Adds an attribute to the signature. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int AddAttribute(const char* lpszOID, const char* lpValue, int lenValue, int bSignedAttribute); Unicode (Windows) INT AddAttribute(LPCWSTR lpszOID, LPCSTR lpValue, INT lenValue, BOOL bSignedAttribute); ``` ## Remarks Use this method to add a signed or unsigned attribute to the collection of attributes included in the new signature. Note that CAdESSigner creates certain mandatory and/or widely used attributes automatically in accordance with requirements for a specific signing profile. For example, attributes such as SigningCertificateV2 or SigningTime are always added. Policy attributes are added if specified via the PolicyID or PolicyURI properties of the signature object. Use the *OID* parameter to provide the object identifier of the attribute, in string form. For example, the OID for the SigningCertificateV2 attribute is 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.2.47. The *Value* parameter should contain a well-formed, DER-encoded representation of the attribute value, in accordance with its specification. ## Error Handling (C++) This method returns an Integer 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. # Config Method ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-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-messagesigner-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-messagesigner-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. # Countersign Method ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) Countersigns an existing signature. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int Countersign(); Unicode (Windows) INT Countersign(); ``` ## Remarks Use this method to certify an existing document signature. Countersigning doesn't alter the existing signatures or the signed document itself. ## 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.) # DoAction Method ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-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. # ExtractAsyncData Method ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) Extracts user data from the DC signing service response. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) char* ExtractAsyncData(const char* lpszAsyncReply); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR ExtractAsyncData(LPCWSTR lpszAsyncReply); ``` ## Remarks Call this method before finalizing the asynchronous signing process to extract the data passed to the ExternalCrypto.Data property on the pre-signing stage. The Data parameter can be used to pass some state or document identifier along with the signing request from the pre-signing to the completion async stage. ## 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 ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-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.) # Sign Method ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) Signs the data. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int Sign(); Unicode (Windows) INT Sign(); ``` ## Remarks This method signs the data provided via [InputFile](#inputfile-property-messagesigner-class) (or InputStream) with [SigningCertificate](#signingcertificate-property-messagesigner-class), and saves the signature in [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-messagesigner-class) (OutputStream). Set the desired signature variant via [SignatureType](#signaturetype-property-messagesigner-class) property. The class automatically timestamps the created signature if a [TimestampServer](#timestampserver-property-messagesigner-class) is provided. ## 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.) # SignAsyncBegin Method ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) Initiates the asynchronous signing operation. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) char* SignAsyncBegin(); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR 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-messagesigner-class) (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-messagesigner-class) (or InputStream), and call [SignAsyncEnd](#signasyncend-method-messagesigner-class) 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](#signingcertificate-property-messagesigner-class) 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-messagesigner-class) 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 class), which processes it and produces a matching signature state. The async state produced by the server is then passed to the [SignAsyncEnd](#signasyncend-method-messagesigner-class) method. ## 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. # SignAsyncEnd Method ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) Completes the asynchronous signing operation. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int SignAsyncEnd(const char* lpszAsyncReply); Unicode (Windows) INT SignAsyncEnd(LPCWSTR lpszAsyncReply); ``` ## 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-messagesigner-class) call to [InputFile](#inputfile-property-messagesigner-class) (or InputStream). The method will embed the signature into the pre-signed document, and save the complete signed document to [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-messagesigner-class) (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](#signingcertificate-property-messagesigner-class) 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-messagesigner-class)) 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-messagesigner-class) 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 class), which processes it and produces a matching signature state. The async state produced by the server is then passed to the SignAsyncEnd method. ## 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.) # Timestamp Method ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) Timestamps a signature. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int Timestamp(); Unicode (Windows) INT Timestamp(); ``` ## Remarks This method timestamps an existing PKCS#7 signature with [TimestampServer](#timestampserver-property-messagesigner-class). Pass your existing signature via [InputFile](#inputfile-property-messagesigner-class) (or InputStream), and collect the timestamped variant from [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-messagesigner-class) (OutputStream). ## 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.) # Error Event ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) Information about errors during PKCS#7 message signing. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireError(MessageSignerErrorEventParams *e); typedef struct { int ErrorCode; const char *Description; int reserved; } MessageSignerErrorEventParams; Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireError(MessageSignerErrorEventParams *e); typedef struct { INT ErrorCode; LPCWSTR Description; INT reserved; } MessageSignerErrorEventParams; ``` ## Remarks The event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. *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 the [Messages](#trappable-errors-messagesigner-class) section. # ExternalSign Event ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) Handles remote or external signing initiated by the SignExternal method or other source. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireExternalSign(MessageSignerExternalSignEventParams *e); typedef struct { const char *OperationId; const char *HashAlgorithm; const char *Pars; const char *Data; char *SignedData; int reserved; } MessageSignerExternalSignEventParams; Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireExternalSign(MessageSignerExternalSignEventParams *e); typedef struct { LPCWSTR OperationId; LPCWSTR HashAlgorithm; LPCWSTR Pars; LPCWSTR Data; LPWSTR SignedData; INT reserved; } MessageSignerExternalSignEventParams; ``` ## 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 class via the *SignedData* parameter. *OperationId* provides a comment about the operation and its origin. It depends on the exact class being used, and may be empty. *HashAlgorithm* specifies the hash algorithm being used for the operation, and *Pars* contains algorithm-dependent parameters. The class 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(); }; ``` # Notification Event ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) This event notifies the application about an underlying control flow event. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireNotification(MessageSignerNotificationEventParams *e); typedef struct { const char *EventID; const char *EventParam; int reserved; } MessageSignerNotificationEventParams; Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireNotification(MessageSignerNotificationEventParams *e); typedef struct { LPCWSTR EventID; LPCWSTR EventParam; INT reserved; } MessageSignerNotificationEventParams; ``` ## Remarks The class fires this event to let the application know about some event, occurrence, or milestone in the class. 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 class, the exact action it is performing, or the document being processed, one or both may be omitted. This class can fire this event with the following *EventID* values: | | | | --- | --- | | 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 class 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](#timestampserver-property-messagesigner-class) was set to a virtual:// URI. The EventParam parameter contains the TSP request (or the plain hash, depending on the value provided to [TimestampServer](#timestampserver-property-messagesigner-class)), 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. | | Progress | Fires periodically to report the progress of the current operation. The EventParam parameter contains a slash-separated pair of values (Current/Total). | # TimestampRequest Event ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) Fires when the class is ready to request a timestamp from an external TSA. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireTimestampRequest(MessageSignerTimestampRequestEventParams *e); typedef struct { const char *TSA; const char *TimestampRequest; char *TimestampResponse; int SuppressDefault; int reserved; } MessageSignerTimestampRequestEventParams; Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTimestampRequest(MessageSignerTimestampRequestEventParams *e); typedef struct { LPCWSTR TSA; LPCWSTR TimestampRequest; LPWSTR TimestampResponse; BOOL SuppressDefault; INT reserved; } MessageSignerTimestampRequestEventParams; ``` ## Remarks Subscribe to this event to intercept timestamp requests. You can use it to override timestamping requests and perform them in your code. The *TSA* parameter indicates the timestamping service being used. It matches the value passed to the [TimestampServer](#timestampserver-property-messagesigner-class) property. Set the *SuppressDefault* parameter to true if you would like to stop the built-in TSA request from going ahead. The built-in TSA request is also not performed if the returned *TimestampResponse* parameter is not empty. # TLSCertNeeded Event ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) Fires when a remote TLS party requests a client certificate. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireTLSCertNeeded(MessageSignerTLSCertNeededEventParams *e); typedef struct { const char *Host; const char *CANames; int reserved; } MessageSignerTLSCertNeededEventParams; Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTLSCertNeeded(MessageSignerTLSCertNeededEventParams *e); typedef struct { LPCWSTR Host; LPCWSTR CANames; INT reserved; } MessageSignerTLSCertNeededEventParams; ``` ## 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-messagesigner-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-messagesigner-class) event for the given host and, if the certificate was accepted, succeeded by the [TLSEstablished](#tlsestablished-event-messagesigner-class) event. # TLSCertValidate Event ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-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(MessageSignerTLSCertValidateEventParams *e); typedef struct { const char *ServerHost; const char *ServerIP; int Accept; int reserved; } MessageSignerTLSCertValidateEventParams; Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTLSCertValidate(MessageSignerTLSCertValidateEventParams *e); typedef struct { LPCWSTR ServerHost; LPCWSTR ServerIP; BOOL Accept; INT reserved; } MessageSignerTLSCertValidateEventParams; ``` ## Remarks This event is fired during a TLS handshake. Use the [TLSServerChain](#tlsserverchain-property-messagesigner-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 ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) Fires when a TLS handshake with Host successfully completes. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireTLSEstablished(MessageSignerTLSEstablishedEventParams *e); typedef struct { const char *Host; const char *Version; const char *Ciphersuite; const char *ConnectionId; int lenConnectionId; int Abort; int reserved; } MessageSignerTLSEstablishedEventParams; Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTLSEstablished(MessageSignerTLSEstablishedEventParams *e); typedef struct { LPCWSTR Host; LPCWSTR Version; LPCWSTR Ciphersuite; LPCSTR ConnectionId; INT lenConnectionId; BOOL Abort; INT reserved; } MessageSignerTLSEstablishedEventParams; ``` ## 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 ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) Fires when a new TLS handshake is initiated, before the handshake commences. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireTLSHandshake(MessageSignerTLSHandshakeEventParams *e); typedef struct { const char *Host; int Abort; int reserved; } MessageSignerTLSHandshakeEventParams; Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTLSHandshake(MessageSignerTLSHandshakeEventParams *e); typedef struct { LPCWSTR Host; BOOL Abort; INT reserved; } MessageSignerTLSHandshakeEventParams; ``` ## 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-messagesigner-class) event. If the server chooses to request a client certificate, the [TLSCertNeeded](#tlscertneeded-event-messagesigner-class) event will also be fired. # TLSShutdown Event ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) Reports the graceful closure of a TLS connection. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireTLSShutdown(MessageSignerTLSShutdownEventParams *e); typedef struct { const char *Host; int reserved; } MessageSignerTLSShutdownEventParams; Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTLSShutdown(MessageSignerTLSShutdownEventParams *e); typedef struct { LPCWSTR Host; INT reserved; } MessageSignerTLSShutdownEventParams; ``` ## Remarks This event notifies the application about the closure of an earlier established TLS connection. Note that only graceful connection closures are reported. # Certificate Type Encapsulates an individual X.509 certificate. ## Syntax *SecureBlackboxCertificate* (declared in *secureblackbox.h*) ## Remarks This type keeps and provides access to X.509 certificate details. The following fields are available: - [Bytes](#Certificate_f_Bytes) - [CA](#Certificate_f_CA) - [CAKeyID](#Certificate_f_CAKeyID) - [CertType](#Certificate_f_CertType) - [CRLDistributionPoints](#Certificate_f_CRLDistributionPoints) - [Curve](#Certificate_f_Curve) - [Fingerprint](#Certificate_f_Fingerprint) - [FriendlyName](#Certificate_f_FriendlyName) - [Handle](#Certificate_f_Handle) - [HashAlgorithm](#Certificate_f_HashAlgorithm) - [Issuer](#Certificate_f_Issuer) - [IssuerRDN](#Certificate_f_IssuerRDN) - [KeyAlgorithm](#Certificate_f_KeyAlgorithm) - [KeyBits](#Certificate_f_KeyBits) - [KeyFingerprint](#Certificate_f_KeyFingerprint) - [KeyUsage](#Certificate_f_KeyUsage) - [KeyValid](#Certificate_f_KeyValid) - [OCSPLocations](#Certificate_f_OCSPLocations) - [OCSPNoCheck](#Certificate_f_OCSPNoCheck) - [Origin](#Certificate_f_Origin) - [PolicyIDs](#Certificate_f_PolicyIDs) - [PrivateKeyBytes](#Certificate_f_PrivateKeyBytes) - [PrivateKeyExists](#Certificate_f_PrivateKeyExists) - [PrivateKeyExtractable](#Certificate_f_PrivateKeyExtractable) - [PublicKeyBytes](#Certificate_f_PublicKeyBytes) - [Qualified](#Certificate_f_Qualified) - [QualifiedStatements](#Certificate_f_QualifiedStatements) - [Qualifiers](#Certificate_f_Qualifiers) - [SelfSigned](#Certificate_f_SelfSigned) - [SerialNumber](#Certificate_f_SerialNumber) - [SigAlgorithm](#Certificate_f_SigAlgorithm) - [Source](#Certificate_f_Source) - [Subject](#Certificate_f_Subject) - [SubjectAlternativeName](#Certificate_f_SubjectAlternativeName) - [SubjectKeyID](#Certificate_f_SubjectKeyID) - [SubjectRDN](#Certificate_f_SubjectRDN) - [Valid](#Certificate_f_Valid) - [ValidFrom](#Certificate_f_ValidFrom) - [ValidTo](#Certificate_f_ValidTo) ## 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. | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | SB_EC_SECP112R1 | SECP112R1 | | | SB_EC_SECP112R2 | SECP112R2 | | | SB_EC_SECP128R1 | SECP128R1 | | | SB_EC_SECP128R2 | SECP128R2 | | | SB_EC_SECP160K1 | SECP160K1 | | | SB_EC_SECP160R1 | SECP160R1 | | | SB_EC_SECP160R2 | SECP160R2 | | | SB_EC_SECP192K1 | SECP192K1 | | | SB_EC_SECP192R1 | SECP192R1 | | | SB_EC_SECP224K1 | SECP224K1 | | | SB_EC_SECP224R1 | SECP224R1 | | | SB_EC_SECP256K1 | SECP256K1 | | | SB_EC_SECP256R1 | SECP256R1 | | | SB_EC_SECP384R1 | SECP384R1 | | | SB_EC_SECP521R1 | SECP521R1 | | | SB_EC_SECT113R1 | SECT113R1 | | | SB_EC_SECT113R2 | SECT113R2 | | | SB_EC_SECT131R1 | SECT131R1 | | | SB_EC_SECT131R2 | SECT131R2 | | | SB_EC_SECT163K1 | SECT163K1 | | | SB_EC_SECT163R1 | SECT163R1 | | | SB_EC_SECT163R2 | SECT163R2 | | | SB_EC_SECT193R1 | SECT193R1 | | | SB_EC_SECT193R2 | SECT193R2 | | | SB_EC_SECT233K1 | SECT233K1 | | | SB_EC_SECT233R1 | SECT233R1 | | | SB_EC_SECT239K1 | SECT239K1 | | | SB_EC_SECT283K1 | SECT283K1 | | | SB_EC_SECT283R1 | SECT283R1 | | | SB_EC_SECT409K1 | SECT409K1 | | | SB_EC_SECT409R1 | SECT409R1 | | | SB_EC_SECT571K1 | SECT571K1 | | | SB_EC_SECT571R1 | SECT571R1 | | | SB_EC_PRIME192V1 | PRIME192V1 | | | SB_EC_PRIME192V2 | PRIME192V2 | | | SB_EC_PRIME192V3 | PRIME192V3 | | | SB_EC_PRIME239V1 | PRIME239V1 | | | SB_EC_PRIME239V2 | PRIME239V2 | | | SB_EC_PRIME239V3 | PRIME239V3 | | | SB_EC_PRIME256V1 | PRIME256V1 | | | SB_EC_C2PNB163V1 | C2PNB163V1 | | | SB_EC_C2PNB163V2 | C2PNB163V2 | | | SB_EC_C2PNB163V3 | C2PNB163V3 | | | SB_EC_C2PNB176W1 | C2PNB176W1 | | | SB_EC_C2TNB191V1 | C2TNB191V1 | | | SB_EC_C2TNB191V2 | C2TNB191V2 | | | SB_EC_C2TNB191V3 | C2TNB191V3 | | | SB_EC_C2ONB191V4 | C2ONB191V4 | | | SB_EC_C2ONB191V5 | C2ONB191V5 | | | SB_EC_C2PNB208W1 | C2PNB208W1 | | | SB_EC_C2TNB239V1 | C2TNB239V1 | | | SB_EC_C2TNB239V2 | C2TNB239V2 | | | SB_EC_C2TNB239V3 | C2TNB239V3 | | | SB_EC_C2ONB239V4 | C2ONB239V4 | | | SB_EC_C2ONB239V5 | C2ONB239V5 | | | SB_EC_C2PNB272W1 | C2PNB272W1 | | | SB_EC_C2PNB304W1 | C2PNB304W1 | | | SB_EC_C2TNB359V1 | C2TNB359V1 | | | SB_EC_C2PNB368W1 | C2PNB368W1 | | | SB_EC_C2TNB431R1 | C2TNB431R1 | | | SB_EC_NISTP192 | NISTP192 | | | SB_EC_NISTP224 | NISTP224 | | | SB_EC_NISTP256 | NISTP256 | | | SB_EC_NISTP384 | NISTP384 | | | SB_EC_NISTP521 | NISTP521 | | | SB_EC_NISTB163 | NISTB163 | | | SB_EC_NISTB233 | NISTB233 | | | SB_EC_NISTB283 | NISTB283 | | | SB_EC_NISTB409 | NISTB409 | | | SB_EC_NISTB571 | NISTB571 | | | SB_EC_NISTK163 | NISTK163 | | | SB_EC_NISTK233 | NISTK233 | | | SB_EC_NISTK283 | NISTK283 | | | SB_EC_NISTK409 | NISTK409 | | | SB_EC_NISTK571 | NISTK571 | | | SB_EC_GOSTCPTEST | GOSTCPTEST | | | SB_EC_GOSTCPA | GOSTCPA | | | SB_EC_GOSTCPB | GOSTCPB | | | SB_EC_GOSTCPC | GOSTCPC | | | SB_EC_GOSTCPXCHA | GOSTCPXCHA | | | SB_EC_GOSTCPXCHB | GOSTCPXCHB | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP160R1 | BRAINPOOLP160R1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP160T1 | BRAINPOOLP160T1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP192R1 | BRAINPOOLP192R1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP192T1 | BRAINPOOLP192T1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP224R1 | BRAINPOOLP224R1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP224T1 | BRAINPOOLP224T1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP256R1 | BRAINPOOLP256R1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP256T1 | BRAINPOOLP256T1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP320R1 | BRAINPOOLP320R1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP320T1 | BRAINPOOLP320T1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP384R1 | BRAINPOOLP384R1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP384T1 | BRAINPOOLP384T1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP512R1 | BRAINPOOLP512R1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP512T1 | BRAINPOOLP512T1 | | | SB_EC_CURVE25519 | CURVE25519 | | | SB_EC_CURVE448 | CURVE448 | | **Fingerprint** *char* (read-only)* *Default Value: ""* Contains the fingerprint (a hash imprint) of this certificate.

[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 ```text Certificate() ``` Creates a new object with default field values. # ExternalCrypto Type Specifies the parameters of external cryptographic calls. ## Syntax *SecureBlackboxExternalCrypto* (declared in *secureblackbox.h*) ## Remarks External cryptocalls are used in a Distributed Cryptography (DC) subsystem, which allows the delegation of security operations to the remote agent. For instance, it can be used to compute the signature value on the server, while retaining the client's private key locally. The following fields are available: - [AsyncDocumentID](#ExternalCrypto_f_AsyncDocumentID) - [CustomParams](#ExternalCrypto_f_CustomParams) - [Data](#ExternalCrypto_f_Data) - [ExternalHashCalculation](#ExternalCrypto_f_ExternalHashCalculation) - [HashAlgorithm](#ExternalCrypto_f_HashAlgorithm) - [KeyID](#ExternalCrypto_f_KeyID) - [KeySecret](#ExternalCrypto_f_KeySecret) - [Method](#ExternalCrypto_f_Method) - [Mode](#ExternalCrypto_f_Mode) - [PublicKeyAlgorithm](#ExternalCrypto_f_PublicKeyAlgorithm) ## Fields **AsyncDocumentID** *char** *Default Value: ""* Specifies an optional document ID for SignAsyncBegin() and SignAsyncEnd() calls. Use this property when working with multi-signature DCAuth requests and responses to uniquely identify documents signed within a larger batch. On the completion stage, this value helps the signing component 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 the pre-signing (SignAsyncBegin) and completion (SignAsyncEnd) stages. **CustomParams** *char** *Default Value: ""* Custom parameters to be passed to the signing service (uninterpreted). **Data** *char** *Default Value: ""* Additional data to be included in the async state and mirrored back by the requestor. **ExternalHashCalculation** *int* *Default Value: FALSE* Specifies whether the message hash is to be calculated at the external endpoint. Please note that this mode is not supported by the DCAuth class. If set to true, the class will pass a few kilobytes of to-be-signed data from the document to the OnExternalSign event. This only applies when SignExternal() is called. **HashAlgorithm** *char** *Default Value: "SHA256"* Specifies the request's signature hash algorithm. | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_SHA1 | SHA1 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_SHA224 | SHA224 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_SHA256 | SHA256 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_SHA384 | SHA384 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_SHA512 | SHA512 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_MD2 | MD2 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_MD4 | MD4 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_MD5 | MD5 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_RIPEMD160 | RIPEMD160 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_CRC32 | CRC32 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_SSL3 | SSL3 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_GOST_R3411_1994 | GOST1994 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_WHIRLPOOL | WHIRLPOOL | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_POLY1305 | POLY1305 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_SHA3_224 | SHA3_224 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_SHA3_256 | SHA3_256 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_SHA3_384 | SHA3_384 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_SHA3_512 | SHA3_512 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_BLAKE2S_128 | BLAKE2S_128 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_BLAKE2S_160 | BLAKE2S_160 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_BLAKE2S_224 | BLAKE2S_224 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_BLAKE2S_256 | BLAKE2S_256 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_BLAKE2B_160 | BLAKE2B_160 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_BLAKE2B_256 | BLAKE2B_256 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_BLAKE2B_384 | BLAKE2B_384 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_BLAKE2B_512 | BLAKE2B_512 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_SHAKE_128 | SHAKE_128 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_SHAKE_256 | SHAKE_256 | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_SHAKE_128_LEN | SHAKE_128_LEN | | | SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_SHAKE_256_LEN | SHAKE_256_LEN | | **KeyID** *char** *Default Value: ""* 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 [KeySecret](#ExternalCrypto_f_KeySecret) 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"; ``` **KeySecret** *char** *Default Value: ""* 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 [KeyID](#ExternalCrypto_f_KeyID) topic. **Method** *int* *Default Value: 0* Specifies the asynchronous signing method. This is typically defined by the DC server capabilities and setup. Available options: | | | | --- | --- | | asmdPKCS1 | 0 | | asmdPKCS7 | 1 | **Mode** *int* *Default Value: 0* Specifies the external cryptography mode. Available options: | | | | --- | --- | | ecmDefault | The default value (0) | | ecmDisabled | Do not use DC or external signing (1) | | ecmGeneric | Generic external signing with the OnExternalSign event (2) | | ecmDCAuth | DCAuth signing (3) | | ecmDCAuthJSON | DCAuth signing in JSON format (4) | **PublicKeyAlgorithm** *char** *Default Value: ""* Provide the public key algorithm here if the certificate is not available on the pre-signing stage. | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | SB_CERT_ALGORITHM_ID_RSA_ENCRYPTION | rsaEncryption | | | SB_CERT_ALGORITHM_MD2_RSA_ENCRYPTION |

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* Various SSL (TLS) protocol options, set of | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | cssloExpectShutdownMessage | 0x001 | Wait for the close-notify message when shutting down the connection | | cssloOpenSSLDTLSWorkaround | 0x002 | (DEPRECATED) Use a DTLS version workaround when talking to very old OpenSSL versions | | cssloDisableKexLengthAlignment | 0x004 | Do not align the client-side PMS by the RSA modulus size.

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 ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-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-messagesigner-class) method. ### MessageSigner Config Settings **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. **ContentType**: Content type of the message.Specifies the content type of the PKCS#7 message. **PSSUsed**: Whether to use RSASSA-PSS algorithm.Although the RSASSA-PSS algorithm provides better security than a classic RSA scheme (PKCS#1-1.5), please take into account that RSASSA-PSS is a relatively new algorithm which may not be understood by older implementations. This is an alias for *UsePSS*. **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. **TimestampResponse**: A base16-encoded timestamp response received from a TSA.When using *virtual://* timestamp endpoints, assign this property in your [Notification](#notification-event-messagesigner-class) event handler with the TSP response that you receive from the TSA. Remember to encode the response in hex (base16). **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. **TspAttemptCount**: Specifies the number of timestamping request attempts.Use this property to specify a number of timestamping request attempts. In case of a timestamping failure, provide new TSA and HTTP settings inside the [Notification](#notification-event-messagesigner-class) event handler ('BeforeTimestamp' and 'TimestampError' event IDs). **TspHashAlgorithm**: Sets a specific hash algorithm for use with the timestamping service.In default configuration class uses the 'SHA256' hash algorithm. Use this property to specify a different hash algorithm for the timestamp. Note: Unlike other classes, [PDFSigner](PDFSigner.md#PDFSigner) class uses the same hash algorithm for the main signature and any associated timestamps during signing. Use this property to specify a different hash algorithm for the timestamp. **TspReqPolicy**: Sets a request policy ID to include in the timestamping request.Use this property to provide a specific request policy OID to include in the timestamping request. Use the standard human-readable OID notation (1.2.3.4.5). **UsePSS**: Whether to use RSASSA-PSS algorithm.Although the RSASSA-PSS algorithm provides better security than a classic RSA scheme (PKCS#1-1.5), please take into account that RSASSA-PSS is a relatively new algorithm which may not be understood by older implementations. **UseUndefSize**: Allows or forbids the use of ASN.1 tags of undefined size.Usually PKCS#7 messages are handled correctly when undefined-size tags are used. However some ASN.1 parsers (S/MIME handler in Outlook Express, security plugins of Adobe Acrobat) can't correctly handle such tags. If you are targeting such software, you need this property. ### 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. Supported values are: | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | file | | File | | console | | Console | | systemlog | | System Log (supported for Android only) | | debugger | | Debugger (supported for VCL for Windows and .Net) | **LogDetails**: Specifies the debug log details to dump.Contains a comma-separated list of values that specifies which debug log details to dump. Supported values are: | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | time | | Current time | | level | | Level | | package | | Package name | | module | | Module name | | class | | Class name | | method | | Method name | | threadid | | Thread Id | | contenttype | | Content type | | content | | Content | | all | | All details | **LogFile**: Specifies the debug log filename.Use this property to provide a path to the log file. **LogFilters**: Specifies the debug log filters.Contains a comma-separated list of value pairs ("name:value") that describe filters. Supported filter names are: | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | exclude-package | | Exclude a package specified in the value | | exclude-module | | Exclude a module specified in the value | | exclude-class | | Exclude a class specified in the value | | exclude-method | | Exclude a method specified in the value | | include-package | | Include a package specified in the value | | include-module | | Include a module specified in the value | | include-class | | Include a class specified in the value | | include-method | | Include a method specified in the value | **LogFlushMode**: Specifies the log flush mode.Use this property to set the log flush mode. The following values are defined: | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | 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. Supported values are: | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | none | | None (by default) | | fatal | | Severe errors that cause premature termination. | | error | | Other runtime errors or unexpected conditions. | | warning | | Use of deprecated APIs, poor use of API, 'almost' errors, other runtime situations that are undesirable or unexpected, but not necessarily "wrong". | | info | | Interesting runtime events (startup/shutdown). | | debug | | Detailed information on flow of through the system. | | 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 | | deleteolder | | Delete older entries from the cache upon reaching LogMaxEventCount | | 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). **ServerSSLDHKeyLength**: Sets the size of the TLS DHE key exchange group.Use this property to adjust the length, in bits, of the DHE prime to be used by the TLS server. **StaticDNS**: Specifies whether static DNS rules should be used.Set this property to enable or disable static DNS rules for the class. Works only if *UseOwnDNSResolver* is set to *true*. Supported values are: | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | none | | No static DNS rules (default) | | local | | Local static DNS rules | | global | | Global static DNS rules | **StaticIPAddress[domain]**: Gets or sets an IP address for the specified domain name.Use this property to get or set an IP address for the specified domain name in the internal (of the 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. # Trappable Errors ([MessageSigner](#messagesigner-class) Class) ## Error Handling (C++) Call the *GetLastErrorCode()* method to obtain the last called method's result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution.
