# CryptoKeyStorage Component

The CryptoKeyStorage class provides access to key stores of various types.

## Syntax

```text
secureblackbox.CryptoKeyStorage
```

## Remarks

CryptoKeyStorage allows you to load and access cryptographic keys stored on different media, such as memory buffers, files, operating system, and hardware security modules.

To access keys stored on certain type of media, start with the [Open](#open-method-cryptokeystorage-component) method. Provide the location of your certificates via a uniform URI-like specifier. Once the storage has been opened, you can access the certificates contained in it via the Keys property.

```text
  KeyStorage.Open("pkcs11://user:12345@localhost/C:/Windows/system32/asepkcs.dll?slot=0");
```

Iterate over the keys by using the Keys property, or use filtering facilities provided by the [Select](#select-method-cryptokeystorage-component) method. You can add keys to the storage with the [ImportBytes](#importbytes-method-cryptokeystorage-component), [ImportFromFile](#importfromfile-method-cryptokeystorage-component), and ImportPinned methods. In the latter case please assign the key object to be imported to the PinnedKey property.

Use [CreateNew](#createnew-method-cryptokeystorage-component) method to create a new storage. Note that not all storage kinds can be created.

```text
  KeyStorage.CreateNew("file", StorageFile);
```

When you have finished working with the certificate storage, close it with the [Close](#close-method-cryptokeystorage-component) method.

Returns True if the key is exportable (can be serialized into an array of bytes), and False otherwise.

## Syntax

*Go Syntax*

```text
func (obj *CryptoKeyStorage) KeyExportable(KeyIndex int32) (bool, error)
```

## Default Value

false

## Remarks

Returns True if the key is exportable (can be serialized into an array of bytes), and False otherwise.

## Data Type

**string**

# KeyHandle Property ([CryptoKeyStorage](#cryptokeystorage-component) Component)

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

## Syntax

*Go Syntax*

```text
func (obj *CryptoKeyStorage) KeyHandle(KeyIndex int32) (int64, error)
```

## Default Value

0

## Remarks

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

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

## Syntax

*Go Syntax*

```text
func (obj *CryptoKeyStorage) KeyID(KeyIndex int32) ([]byte, error)
```

## Remarks

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

The *KeyIndex* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [KeyCount](#keycount-property-cryptokeystorage-component) property.

This property is read-only.

## Data Type

**[]byte**

## Syntax

*Go Syntax*

```text
func (obj *CryptoKeyStorage) KeyIV(KeyIndex int32) ([]byte, error)
```

## Remarks

# Config Method ([CryptoKeyStorage](#cryptokeystorage-component) Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

## Syntax

*Go Syntax*

```text
func (obj *CryptoKeyStorage) Config(ConfigurationString string) (string, error)
```

## Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every struct. It is used to set and retrieve [configuration settings](#config-settings-cryptokeystorage-component) for the struct.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the struct, 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-cryptokeystorage-component), you must call *Config("PROPERTY")*. The value will be returned as a string.

# CreateNew Method ([CryptoKeyStorage](#cryptokeystorage-component) Component)

Creates a new storage.

## Syntax

*Go Syntax*

```text
func (obj *CryptoKeyStorage) CreateNew(StorageLocation string, StorageID string) error

| cslMemory | memory | in-memory storage |
| cslFile | file | file storage |
| cslSystem | system | OS-specific certificate storage (e.g. CryptoAPI) |
| cslPKCS11 | pkcs11 | PKCS#11 compatible device |
| cslKMIP | kmip |  |
| cslApple | apple | Apple certificates storage (macOS and iOS only) |
| cslJava | java | java key storage |

# DoAction Method ([CryptoKeyStorage](#cryptokeystorage-component) Component)

Performs an additional action.

## Syntax

*Go Syntax*

```text
func (obj *CryptoKeyStorage) DoAction(ActionID string, ActionParams string) (string, error)
```

## Remarks

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

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

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

Common ActionIDs:

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

 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).

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

**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.
