# XAdESSigner Class

The XAdESSigner class creates XAdES-compliant signature files.

## Syntax

```text
XAdESSigner
```

## Remarks

XAdESSigner can sign XML documents in accordance with XAdES standard. Originally developed and adopted in the European Union, XAdES has quickly become a recognized international standard for signing XML documents. XAdES provides a convenient framework for creating short-lived and long-term signatures over any kind of XML documents, and is now used by governments, healthcare providers, banks, and independent service providers all across the globe.

```text
XAdESSigner signer = new XAdESSigner();

signer.getNewSignature().setHashAlgorithm("SHA512"); // Default hashing algorithm SHA256

signer.getNewSignature().setLevel(XAdESSignature.aslBaselineT); // Level of the signature

// Select the document which contains the file that will be signed
signer.setInputFile("MyFile.xml");

// Select the path where you want to save the signed document
signer.setOutputFile("signedFile.xml");

// The certificate which the document will be signed with
signer.setSigningCertificate(new Certificate("test.pfx","test"));

// Provide the address of the Time Stamping Authority (TSA) server to be used for timestamping the signature
signer.setTimestampServer("http://time.certum.pl");

signer.sign();
```

### Standards and technologies supported

XAdESSigner offers the following signing capabilities:

- Create and upgrade XAdES signatures in accordance with the most recent XAdES specification (ETSI EN 319 132). Earlier versions are also supported.
- All profiles are supported (BES, EPES, T, C, X, XL, A, including the Extended variants).
- Timestamping using external TSAs.
- All industry-standard cryptographic algorithms (RSA, ECDSA, SHA256-512, and many others).

### Configuring the signature parameters

Configuring XAdESSigner to make it produce a signature of the right type is the main task you would need to perform in your code. Normally the service or software you will be communicating your XML documents to will provide you with the list of requirements that your signatures should match.

Typically, those will dictate the following key aspects of the signatures:

- The signature Form, sometimes referred to as Level (such BES, T, XL, A, or Extended-XLong). This can be adjusted with the [Level](#XAdESSignature_f_Level) property.
- Whether the signature should be detached, enveloped, or enveloping: adjust via [SignatureType](#XAdESSignature_f_SignatureType) property.
- When creating a timestamped signature (such as T or A), provide the address of your online TSA service via [TimestampServer](#timestampserver-property-xadessigner-class) property.
- When creating long-term signatures that include the signing chain and validation material, tune up validation parameters via [RevocationCheck](#revocationcheck-property-xadessigner-class), [OfflineMode](#offlinemode-property-xadessigner-class), and [IgnoreChainValidationErrors](#ignorechainvalidationerrors-property-xadessigner-class) properties.

In some circumstances you will also need to adjust the following lower-level settings:

- Choose a specific XAdES version between 1.4.1, 1.3.2, 1.2.2, and 1.1.1, and assign it to [XAdESVersion](#XAdESSignature_f_XAdESVersion) property.
- Specify the needed canonicalization method using the [CanonicalizationMethod](#XAdESSignature_f_CanonicalizationMethod) property.
- Provide the hash algorithm via the [HashAlgorithm](#XAdESSignature_f_HashAlgorithm) property.

### Signing certificates

XAdESSigner can use certificates residing on different media. Besides generic certificates stored in PFX or PEM files (A1), it can operate with non-exportable certificates residing on hardware media (A3) or in the cloud.

Non-exportable certificates can be accessed transparently via a Windows CSP or a PKCS#11 driver, if supplied by the certificate issuer. Proprietary interfaces can be plugged in with the *external signing* feature (see below).

You can use [CertificateManager](CertificateManager.md#CertificateManager) and [CertificateStorage](CertificateStorage.md#CertificateStorage) components to access the signing certificate. Assign the certificate to [SigningCertificate](#signingcertificate-property-xadessigner-class) property, and optionally provide the remainder of its chain via [SigningChain](#signingchain-property-xadessigner-class) property.

**Note**: If signing with a non-exportable key (such as residing on a hardware device or in the cloud), please make sure you keep the original CertificateStorage object open until the signing is completed. This is because the storage component provides a 'bridge' to the private key. If the storage is closed prematurely, this bridge is destroyed, and the private key can't be used.

You don't need to provide a signing certificate or chain when timestamping and upgrading signatures, since this type of operation does not involve the signing private key.

### Signing the document

Now that you have set up all signature properties and attached the signing certificate, it is time to proceed to signing. You can provide the input document in one of the following forms: as a file (assign the path to [InputFile](#inputfile-property-xadessigner-class) property), as a stream (assign to InputStream property), or as a byte array (assign to [InputBytes](#inputbytes-property-xadessigner-class)). Similarly, the output can be collected in one of the same forms, either by passing the destination path or stream via [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-xadessigner-class) and OutputStream respectively, or by reading the resulting document bytes from the [OutputBytes](#outputbytes-property-xadessigner-class) property after the signing completes.

Having set up the input and output (unless using [OutputBytes](#outputbytes-property-xadessigner-class), which should be read later), call the component's [Sign](#sign-method-xadessigner-class) method. This will initiate the signing process. Depending on the settings, the signing may be as straightforward as calculating the document hash and signing it with the private key (e.g. in XAdES-BES variant), or it may involve advanced chain validation routines (XAdES-XL or -A). During the latter the component may contact a number of external revocation information sources (CRL and OCSP servers) to establish the validity of the signing certificate.

If a TSA server was provided via the [TimestampServer](#timestampserver-property-xadessigner-class) property, the component will contact it too to timestamp the new signature.

During the signing XAdESSigner may fire events to let your code know of certain conditions. It may fire [TLSCertValidate](#tlscertvalidate-event-xadessigner-class) if one of the HTTP endpoints involved in the operation (which may be a CRL, OCSP, or TSA service) works over TLS and needs its certificate to be validated. It may also fire [FormatElement](#formatelement-event-xadessigner-class) and [FormatText](#formattext-event-xadessigner-class) to let your code apply custom formatting to XML document elements. If XAdESSigner fails to resolve one of the references in the signature, it will fire [ResolveReference](#resolvereference-event-xadessigner-class) to let your code help with resolving it.

When the signing operation completes, the output file, stream, or byte array will contain the signature of the requested kind. Note that while enveloped and enveloping signatures contain the signed content within them, detached signatures assume that you supply the original content separately.

Apart from signing, XAdESSigner can perform operations on signatures of other kinds. Use [Upgrade](#upgrade-method-xadessigner-class) method to upgrade an existing XAdES signature to a higher level (e.g. BES to XL). Use [Timestamp](#timestamp-method-xadessigner-class) to add a generic or validation timestamp to an existing signature.

### External signing and DCAuth

XAdESSigner, like many other components offered by the product, supports two methods of signing with external keys. These methods are fully independent of each other: you can choose the one that suits your usage scenario best.

**Synchronous method: ExternalSign**

This is a simpler method that basically lets you infiltrate into the heart of the signing routine by taking care of the hash signing operation. The component does the rest of the job (hash calculation, preparation of signature objects, CRL/OCSP retrieval).

To initiate this method, call [SignExternal](#signexternal-method-xadessigner-class) instead of [Sign](#sign-method-xadessigner-class). When the hash is ready, it will be passed back to your code with [ExternalSign](#externalsign-event-xadessigner-class) event. Your event handler needs to sign the hash with the private key and return the created signature back to the component - which will embed it into the document.

You don't need your signing certificate to contain an associated private key when using this method. The certificate itself (its public copy) may be needed though, as it is often included in the hash calculation.

This method is synchronous, meaning [SignExternal](#signexternal-method-xadessigner-class) provides you the results immediately upon its completion.

**Asynchronous method: DCAuth**

DCAuth is a SecureBlackbox-own know-how technology. This protocol was designed to allow sharing of private keys across environments, allowing the signer and the private key to reside on different systems. It works in the following way:

- The signing party - such as XAdESSigner - initiates the operation using [SignAsyncBegin](#signasyncbegin-method-xadessigner-class) call. This produces two outcomes: a *pre-signed document* (a document with a blank signature placeholder), and a *request state* (an object containing a hash that needs to be signed). At this point the XAdESSigner instance can be released, and the process itself terminated (which may be useful when run as part of a web page).
- The *request state* is passed to the private key holder party. The private key holder passes the request state to a DCAuth object, which parses the request state, extracts the hash, and signs it. The output of DCAuth processing is another object, *response state*, which contains the signature. The private key holder then sends the *response state* back to the signing party.
- The signing party re-creates the controls, and passes the *response state*, together with the pre-signed version of the document, to the signer's [SignAsyncEnd](#signasyncend-method-xadessigner-class) method. [SignAsyncEnd](#signasyncend-method-xadessigner-class) extracts the signature from the *response state* and incorporates it into the pre-signed document.

This method is asynchronous in that sense that, from the signing party's viewpoint, it splits the signing operation into the *pre-signing* and *completion* stages which can be performed independently from each other and in different execution contexts. This makes this method particularly helpful for use in web pages and other scenarios where the signing key is not available in real time.

### Fine-grained chain validation setup

Chain validation is a sophisticated, multi-faceted procedure that involves a lot of variables. Depending on the configuration of your operating environment, the specifics of the PKI framework being used, and the validation policy you need to follow, you may want to tune up your chain validation parameters so they fit them best. A summary of such parameters is given below.

- [RevocationCheck](#revocationcheck-property-xadessigner-class) lets you choose between and/or prioritize revocation origins. OCSP sources are often preferred to CRL because of their real-time capability and the smaller size of validation tokens they produce.
- [OfflineMode](#offlinemode-property-xadessigner-class) is a master switch that stops the class from looking for any validation tokens online. If this property is switched on, the class will only use the [KnownCertificates](#knowncertificates-property-xadessigner-class), [TrustedCertificates](#trustedcertificates-property-xadessigner-class), [KnownCRLs](#knowncrls-property-xadessigner-class), and [KnownOCSPs](#knownocsps-property-xadessigner-class) collections to look for the missing validation material.
- [IgnoreChainValidationErrors](#ignorechainvalidationerrors-property-xadessigner-class) makes the class ignore any major validation issues it encounters (such us an untrusted chain or missing CRL). This option is handy for debugging and for creating signatures in the environments where the signing certificate is not trusted.
- [KnownCertificates](#knowncertificates-property-xadessigner-class), [KnownCRLs](#knowncrls-property-xadessigner-class), and [KnownOCSPs](#knownocsps-property-xadessigner-class) let you provide your own validation material. This may be useful when working in [OfflineMode](#offlinemode-property-xadessigner-class), where the signer has no access to the validation sources, or where the validation material has already been collected.
- [TrustedCertificates](#trustedcertificates-property-xadessigner-class) lets you provide a list of trust anchors, either as a complement to the system's or as an alternative to it.
- [BlockedCertificates](#blockedcertificates-property-xadessigner-class) lets you provide a list of blocked/distrusted certificates. Any CA certificate contained in it will be deemed untrusted/invalid.

The following parameters are not directly related to chain validation, but may have an implicit effect on it.

- [Proxy](#proxy-property-xadessigner-class), [SocketSettings](#socketsettings-property-xadessigner-class), and [TLSSettings](#tlssettings-property-xadessigner-class) let you tune up the connectivity and TLS options in accordance with local preferences.
- [TLSClientChain](#tlsclientchain-property-xadessigner-class) lets you provide the client certificate and its chain for TLS client authentication.
- Subscribe to [TLSCertValidate](#tlscertvalidate-event-xadessigner-class) to validate any TLS certificates of the services involved in chain validation.

The results of the chain validation procedure, upon its completion, are published in the following properties:

- ChainValidationResult contains the primary result of the chain validation routine: valid, valid but untrusted, invalid, or undefined.
- ChainValidationDetails provides the details of the factors that contributed to the chain validation result, such as an outdated certificate, a missing CRL, or a missing CA certificate.
- ValidationLog contains the detailed chain validation log. The log can often be very helpful in nailing down various validation issues.

An example of a scenario where you might want to do that is when intermediary CA certificates are absent from the standard system locations (or when there are no standard system locations), and therefore should be supplied to the class manually.

The purpose of the certificates to be added to this collection is roughly equivalent to that of the Intermediate Certification Authorities system store in Windows.

Do not add trust anchors or root certificates to this collection: add them to [TrustedCertificates](#trustedcertificates-property-xadessigner-class) instead.

This property is not available at design time.

## Data Type

[SecureBlackboxCertificate](#certificate-type)

# KnownCRLs Property ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-class) Class)

Unicode (Windows)
INT GetRevocationCheck();INT SetRevocationCheck(INT iRevocationCheck);
```

```

## 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.

# TimestampServer Property ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-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-xadessigner-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-xadessigner-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 ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-class) Class)

The TLS client certificate chain.

## Syntax

```text
SecureBlackboxList<SecureBlackboxCertificate>* GetTLSClientChain();
int SetTLSClientChain(SecureBlackboxList<SecureBlackboxCertificate>* 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.

# TrustedCertificates Property ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-class) Class)

A list of trusted certificates for chain validation.

## Syntax

```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.

## Data Type

[SecureBlackboxCertificate](#certificate-type)

# ValidationMoment Property ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-class) Class)

Unicode (Windows)
INT AddReference(LPCWSTR lpszTargetXmlElement, LPCWSTR lpszCustomId, BOOL bAutoGenerateId);
```

## Remarks

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

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

```

## Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve [configuration settings](#config-settings-xadessigner-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-xadessigner-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.

Upon receiving the response state from the DC processor, assign the path to the pre-signed copy to [InputFile](#inputfile-property-xadessigner-class) (or InputStream), and call [SignAsyncEnd](#signasyncend-method-xadessigner-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-xadessigner-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-xadessigner-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-xadessigner-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 ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-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-xadessigner-class) call to [InputFile](#inputfile-property-xadessigner-class) (or InputStream). The method will embed the signature into the pre-signed document, and save the complete signed document to [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-xadessigner-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-xadessigner-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-xadessigner-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-xadessigner-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.)

# SignExternal Method ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-class) Class)

Signs the document using an external signing facility.

## Syntax

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

Unicode (Windows)
INT SignExternal();
```

## Remarks

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

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

## 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 ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-class) Class)

Use this method to add an timestamp.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Timestamp(const char* lpszSigLabel, int iTimestampType);

Unicode (Windows)
INT Timestamp(LPCWSTR lpszSigLabel, INT iTimestampType);
```

## Remarks

Call this method to timestamp the signature. Use the *TimestampServer* property to provide the address of the TSA (Time Stamping Authority) server which should be used for timestamping. This method could be called separately or in [SignatureValidated](#signaturevalidated-event-xadessigner-class) event handler after successful signature validation. Use the *TimestampType* parameter to specify the type of timestamp to create

Supported timestamp types:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| tstSignature | 12 | Signature timestamp |
| tstRefsOnly | 13 | RefsOnly timestamp |
| tstSigAndRefs | 14 | SigAndRefs timestamp |
| tstArchive | 7 | Archive timestamp |

## 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.)

# Upgrade Method ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-class) Class)

Upgrades existing XAdES signature to a new form.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Upgrade(const char* lpszSigLabel, int iUpgradeKind);

Unicode (Windows)
INT Upgrade(LPCWSTR lpszSigLabel, INT iUpgradeKind);
```

## Remarks

XAdES standard defines a number of different 'forms' of signatures which can be used for different purposes.

typedef struct {  int Cancel;
  int reserved;
} XAdESSignerDocumentLoadedEventParams;

Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireDocumentLoaded(XAdESSignerDocumentLoadedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  BOOL Cancel;
  INT reserved;
} XAdESSignerDocumentLoadedEventParams;
```

## Remarks

The handler for this event is a good place to check document properties, which may be useful when preparing the signature, for example, the document format.

Set *Cancel* to true to terminate document processing on this stage.

# Error Event ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-class) Class)

Information about errors during signing.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireError(XAdESSignerErrorEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  int ErrorCode;  const char *Description;
  int reserved;
} XAdESSignerErrorEventParams;

Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireError(XAdESSignerErrorEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  INT ErrorCode;  LPCWSTR Description;
  INT reserved;
} XAdESSignerErrorEventParams;
```

## Remarks

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

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

# ExternalSign Event ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-class) Class)

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

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireExternalSign(XAdESSignerExternalSignEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  const char *OperationId;  const char *HashAlgorithm;  const char *Pars;  const char *Data;  char *SignedData;
  int reserved;
} XAdESSignerExternalSignEventParams;

Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireExternalSign(XAdESSignerExternalSignEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  LPCWSTR OperationId;  LPCWSTR HashAlgorithm;  LPCWSTR Pars;  LPCWSTR Data;  LPWSTR SignedData;
  INT reserved;
} XAdESSignerExternalSignEventParams;
```

## 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();
};
```

# FormatElement Event ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-class) Class)

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireFormatElement(XAdESSignerFormatElementEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  char *StartTagWhitespace;  char *EndTagWhitespace;  int Level;  const char *Path;  int HasChildElements;
  int reserved;
} XAdESSignerFormatElementEventParams;

Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireFormatElement(XAdESSignerFormatElementEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  LPWSTR StartTagWhitespace;  LPWSTR EndTagWhitespace;  INT Level;  LPCWSTR Path;  BOOL HasChildElements;
  INT reserved;
} XAdESSignerFormatElementEventParams;
```

## Remarks

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

virtual INT FireFormatText(XAdESSignerFormatTextEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  LPWSTR Text;  INT TextType;  INT Level;  LPCWSTR Path;
  INT reserved;
} XAdESSignerFormatTextEventParams;
```

## Remarks

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

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

# Notification Event ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-class) Class)

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

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireNotification(XAdESSignerNotificationEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  const char *EventID;  const char *EventParam;
  int reserved;
} XAdESSignerNotificationEventParams;

Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireNotification(XAdESSignerNotificationEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  LPCWSTR EventID;  LPCWSTR EventParam;
  INT reserved;
} XAdESSignerNotificationEventParams;
```

## 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-xadessigner-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-xadessigner-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. |

# ReferenceValidated Event ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-class) Class)

Marks the end of a reference validation.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireReferenceValidated(XAdESSignerReferenceValidatedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  int ReferenceIndex;  const char *ID;  const char *URI;  const char *RefType;  int DigestValid;
  int reserved;
} XAdESSignerReferenceValidatedEventParams;

Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireReferenceValidated(XAdESSignerReferenceValidatedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  INT ReferenceIndex;  LPCWSTR ID;  LPCWSTR URI;  LPCWSTR RefType;  BOOL DigestValid;
  INT reserved;
} XAdESSignerReferenceValidatedEventParams;
```

## Remarks

The class fires this event to report completion of a reference validation. A reference is a building block of a signature as it binds signature coverage to a particular piece of the document.

# ResolveReference Event ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-class) Class)

Asks the application to resolve a reference.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireResolveReference(XAdESSignerResolveReferenceEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  int ReferenceIndex;  const char *URI;
  int reserved;
} XAdESSignerResolveReferenceEventParams;

Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireResolveReference(XAdESSignerResolveReferenceEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  INT ReferenceIndex;  LPCWSTR URI;
  INT reserved;
} XAdESSignerResolveReferenceEventParams;
```

## Remarks

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

*URI* contains a reference to the data.

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

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

# SignatureFound Event ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-class) Class)

Signifies the start of signature validation.

## Syntax

  INT lenSerialNumber;  LPCSTR SubjectKeyID;
  INT lenSubjectKeyID;  BOOL CertFound;  BOOL ValidateSignature;  BOOL ValidateChain;
  INT reserved;
} XAdESSignerSignatureFoundEventParams;
```

## 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-xadessigner-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 ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-class) Class)

Marks the completion of the signature validation routine.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireSignatureValidated(XAdESSignerSignatureValidatedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  int Index;  const char *EntityLabel;  const char *IssuerRDN;  const char *SerialNumber;
  int lenSerialNumber;  const char *SubjectKeyID;
  int lenSubjectKeyID;  int ValidationResult;  int Cancel;
  int reserved;
} XAdESSignerSignatureValidatedEventParams;

Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireSignatureValidated(XAdESSignerSignatureValidatedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  INT Index;  LPCWSTR EntityLabel;  LPCWSTR IssuerRDN;  LPCSTR SerialNumber;
  INT lenSerialNumber;  LPCSTR SubjectKeyID;
  INT lenSubjectKeyID;  INT ValidationResult;  BOOL Cancel;
  INT reserved;
} XAdESSignerSignatureValidatedEventParams;
```

## Remarks

This event is fired upon the completion of the signature validation routine, and reports the respective validation result.

Use the *IssuerRDN*, *SerialNumber*, and/or *SubjectKeyID* parameters to identify the signing certificate.

*ValidationResult* is set to 0 if the validation has been successful, or to a non-zero value in case of a validation failure.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| svtValid | 0 | The signature is valid |
| svtUnknown | 1 | Signature validity is unknown |
| svtCorrupted | 2 | The signature is corrupted |
| svtSignerNotFound | 3 | Failed to acquire the signing certificate. The signature cannot be validated. |
| svtFailure | 4 | General failure |
| svtReferenceCorrupted | 5 | Reference corrupted (XML-based signatures only) |

# TimestampFound Event ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-class) Class)

Signifies the start of a timestamp validation routine.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireTimestampFound(XAdESSignerTimestampFoundEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  int Index;  const char *EntityLabel;  const char *IssuerRDN;  const char *SerialNumber;
  int lenSerialNumber;  const char *SubjectKeyID;
  int lenSubjectKeyID;  int CertFound;  int ValidateTimestamp;  int ValidateChain;
  int reserved;
} XAdESSignerTimestampFoundEventParams;

Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireTimestampFound(XAdESSignerTimestampFoundEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  INT Index;  LPCWSTR EntityLabel;  LPCWSTR IssuerRDN;  LPCSTR SerialNumber;
  INT lenSerialNumber;  LPCSTR SubjectKeyID;
  INT lenSubjectKeyID;  BOOL CertFound;  BOOL ValidateTimestamp;  BOOL ValidateChain;
  INT reserved;
} XAdESSignerTimestampFoundEventParams;
```

## Remarks

This event fires for every timestamp identified during signature processing, and reports the details about the signer's certificate via its *IssuerRDN*, *SerialNumber*, and *SubjectKeyID* parameters.

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-xadessigner-class) property.

Just like with signature validation, timestamp validation consists of two independent stages: cryptographic signature validation and chain validation. Separate validation results are reported for each, with the [ValidationResult](#TimestampInfo_f_ValidationResult) and [ChainValidationResult](#TimestampInfo_f_ChainValidationResult) properties respectively.

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

# TimestampRequest Event ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-class) Class)

Fires when the class is ready to request a timestamp from an external TSA.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireTimestampRequest(XAdESSignerTimestampRequestEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  const char *TSA;  const char *TimestampRequest;  char *TimestampResponse;  int SuppressDefault;
  int reserved;
} XAdESSignerTimestampRequestEventParams;

Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireTimestampRequest(XAdESSignerTimestampRequestEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  LPCWSTR TSA;  LPCWSTR TimestampRequest;  LPWSTR TimestampResponse;  BOOL SuppressDefault;
  INT reserved;
} XAdESSignerTimestampRequestEventParams;
```

## 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-xadessigner-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.

# TimestampValidated Event ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-class) Class)

Reports the completion of the timestamp validation routine.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireTimestampValidated(XAdESSignerTimestampValidatedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  int Index;  const char *EntityLabel;  const char *IssuerRDN;  const char *SerialNumber;
  int lenSerialNumber;  const char *SubjectKeyID;
  int lenSubjectKeyID;  const char *Time;  int ValidationResult;  int ChainValidationResult;  int ChainValidationDetails;  int Cancel;
  int reserved;
} XAdESSignerTimestampValidatedEventParams;

Unicode (Windows)

  INT lenSerialNumber;  LPCSTR SubjectKeyID;
  INT lenSubjectKeyID;  LPCWSTR Time;  INT ValidationResult;  INT ChainValidationResult;  INT ChainValidationDetails;  BOOL Cancel;
  INT reserved;
} XAdESSignerTimestampValidatedEventParams;
```

## Remarks

This event is fired upon the completion of the timestamp validation routine, and reports the respective validation result.

*ValidationResult* is set to 0 if the validation has been successful, or to a non-zero value in case of a failure.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| svtValid | 0 | The signature is valid |
| svtUnknown | 1 | Signature validity is unknown |
| svtCorrupted | 2 | The signature is corrupted |
| svtSignerNotFound | 3 | Failed to acquire the signing certificate. The signature cannot be validated. |
| svtFailure | 4 | General failure |
| svtReferenceCorrupted | 5 | Reference corrupted (XML-based signatures only) |

# TLSCertNeeded Event ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-class) Class)

Fires when a remote TLS party requests a client certificate.

## Syntax

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

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

## 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-xadessigner-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-xadessigner-class) event for the given host and, if the certificate was accepted, succeeded by the [TLSEstablished](#tlsestablished-event-xadessigner-class) event.

# TLSCertValidate Event ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-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(XAdESSignerTLSCertValidateEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  const char *ServerHost;  const char *ServerIP;  int Accept;
  int reserved;
} XAdESSignerTLSCertValidateEventParams;

Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireTLSCertValidate(XAdESSignerTLSCertValidateEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  LPCWSTR ServerHost;  LPCWSTR ServerIP;  BOOL Accept;
  INT reserved;
} XAdESSignerTLSCertValidateEventParams;
```

## Remarks

This event is fired during a TLS handshake. Use the [TLSServerChain](#tlsserverchain-property-xadessigner-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 ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-class) Class)

Fires when a TLS handshake with Host successfully completes.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireTLSEstablished(XAdESSignerTLSEstablishedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  const char *Host;  const char *Version;  const char *Ciphersuite;  const char *ConnectionId;
  int lenConnectionId;  int Abort;
  int reserved;
} XAdESSignerTLSEstablishedEventParams;

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

## 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 ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-class) Class)

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

## Syntax

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

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

## 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-xadessigner-class) event. If the server chooses to request a client certificate, the [TLSCertNeeded](#tlscertneeded-event-xadessigner-class) event will also be fired.

# TLSShutdown Event ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-class) Class)

Reports the graceful closure of a TLS connection.

## Syntax

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

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

## 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.

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

```text
Certificate()
```

 Creates a new object with default field values.

# 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: ""*

The URL that the CRL was downloaded from.

 **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

```text
CRL()
```

 Creates an empty CRL object.

# 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.

 **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.

 **Ciphersuites** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

A list of ciphersuites separated with commas or semicolons. Each ciphersuite in the list may be prefixed with a minus sign (-) to indicate that the ciphersuite should be disabled rather than enabled. Besides the specific ciphersuite modifiers, this property supports the *all* (and *-all*) aliases, allowing all ciphersuites to be blanketly enabled or disabled at once.

Note: the list of ciphersuites provided to this property alters the baseline list of ciphersuites as defined by [BaseConfiguration](#TLSSettings_f_BaseConfiguration). Remember to start your ciphersuite string with -all; if you need to only enable a specific fixed set of ciphersuites. The list of supported ciphersuites is provided below:

```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

| --- | --- | --- |
| 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*

Use the ValidationLog property to access the detailed validation log.

 **ClaimedSigningTime** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

The signing time from the signer's computer.

Use this property to provide the signature production time.

# 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 XAdESSigner 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 ([XAdESSigner](#xadessigner-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-xadessigner-class) method.

### XAdESSigner Config Settings

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Index value could be omitted for the first DataObjectFormat element.

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

The following data types are supported:

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

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

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

Supported values:

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

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

**DislikeOpenEndedOCSPs**: Tells the 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).

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

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

**EnvelopingObjectMimeType**: Specifies the enveloping object MIME type.In case of enveloping signature, this property contains the MIME type attribute of the enveloped object.

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

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

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

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

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

Special values:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

**IgnoreSystemTrust**: Whether trusted Windows Certificate Stores should be treated as trusted.Specifies whether, during chain validation, the 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-xadessigner-class) property) are considered trusted.

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

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

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

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

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

**InclusiveNamespacesPrefixList**: Specifies the InclusiveNamespaces PrefixList.Use this property to read/specify InclusiveNamespaces PrefixList for exclusive canonicalization transform of SignedInfo element. See XML-Signature Syntax and Processing specification for details.

**InputType**: Specifies the Input type.Use this property to specify the type of the input (either [InputFile](#inputfile-property-xadessigner-class), InputStream or [InputBytes](#inputbytes-property-xadessigner-class) properties) for class for [Sign](#sign-method-xadessigner-class) method. The following input types are supported:

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

 What input types could be used depends on SignatureType:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
|  | Enveloped signature type supports only an XML document as the input. |
|  | Enveloping signature type supports all types of the input. |
|  | Detached signature type supports an XML document and a binary data as the input. |

**InsertBeforeXMLElement**: Defines the reference XML element for signature insertion.Use this property to specify XML element before which the signature should be inserted, but it must be under the element specified by the [XMLElement](#XAdESSignature_f_XMLElement) field.

Supported values are:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| "" | an empty string indicates the Document element |
| "#id" | indicates an XML element with specified Id |
| XPath expression | indicates an XML element selected using XPath expression. Use [AddKnownNamespace](#addknownnamespace-method-xadessigner-class) method to specify Prefixes and NamespaceURIs For example: "/root/data[1]" - indicates the second "data" element under the document element with a name "root" "//ns1:data" - indicates a data element. "ns1" prefix should be defined via [AddKnownNamespace](#addknownnamespace-method-xadessigner-class) method. |
| Node name | indicates an XML element selected using its NodeName. For example: "data" - indicates an XML element with node name "data". |

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

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

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

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

Supported values are:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| certificate |  | Base64-encoded [X509v3] certificate is placed to the signature |
| issuerserial |  | X.509 issuer distinguished name/serial number pair are placed to the signature |
| subjectname |  | X.509 subject distinguished name is placed to the signature |
| ski |  | Base64 encoded plain (i.e. non-DER-encoded) value of a X509 V.3 SubjectKeyIdentifier extension is placed to the signature |
| crl |  | Base64-encoded certificate revocation list (CRL) is placed to the signature |

**KeyInfoID**: Specifies the ID for KeyInfo element.This property contains the identifier (ID) attribute of the ds:KeyInfo element.

**KeyInfoX509Chain**: Specifies which certificates from SigningChain are included in the ds:KeyInfo element.Use this property to get or set the list of indices (relative to the [SigningChain](#signingchain-property-xadessigner-class) property) of the certificates to include in the ds:KeyInfo/ds:X509Data element. The value may also be the keywords *none* (include none) or *all* (include the entire chain). The default is *all*.

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

| Short | Uses crl:43200;50;300,ocsp:1800;50;300. This means: CRL maximum age 12 hours, CRL age ratio 50%, CRL overlap 5 minutes; OCSP response maximum age 30 minutes, OCSP response age ratio 50%, OCSP response overlap 5 minutes. |
| Long | Uses crl:518400;50;3600,ocsp:21600;50;3600. This means: CRL maximum age 6 days, CRL age ratio 50%, CRL overlap 1 hour; OCSP response maximum age 6 hours, OCSP response age ratio 50%, OCSP response overlap 1 hour. |
| N | Interprets N as an integer number of seconds. The overlap settings are set to N seconds, CRL maximum age is set to N * 144, OCSP response maximum age is set to N * 6, and both ratio settings are set to 50. |
| crl:<maxAge>;<ratio>;<overlap>,ocsp:<maxAge>;<ratio>;<overlap> | Sets the CRL and OCSP response freshness values explicitly. |

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

| 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.
