# ArchiveReader Class The ArchiveReader class supports inspection and extraction of files from zip, tar, gzip and bzip2 archives. ## Syntax ```text class secureblackbox.ArchiveReader ``` ## Remarks ArchiveReader offers capabilities of inspecting, editing, and unpacking archived files from a variety of archive formats. ```text ArchiveReader archiveReader = new ArchiveReader(); archiveReader.setDecryptionPassword("MyPassword"); // the decryption password for the archive // Opens the archive file, first param is the archive type and the second one the path of the archive archiveReader.open(ArchiveReader.aftZip,"C:/MyArchives/folder.zip"); // extract all the files to the path provided archiveReader.extractAll("C:/Extracted/extractedFolder"); ``` The following common archive formats are supported: - ZIP (.zip) - GZip (.gz) - BZip2 (.bz2) - Tar+GZip (.tar.gz) - Tar+Bzip2 (.tar.bz2) ### Working with ArchiveReader Work with ArchiveReader builds on the following steps: **Opening the archive.** On this step the component loads the provided compressed data into its memory. You can pass the compressed data as a byte array ([open_bytes](#open_bytes-method)), as a stream (open_stream), or load it from a disk file ([open](#open-method)). **Inspecting the archive contents** Use the files collection to access information about individual files stored in the opened archive. On this stage you can adjust the individual files objects' > and > properties to configure bespoke processing for specific files. **Extracting the files** Call [extract_all](#extract_all-method) to initiate extraction of all the files contained in the archive and selected using the > property, or [extract](#extract-method) to extract a single file. The component notifies your code about each individual extraction using its [on_before_extract_file](#on_before_extract_file-event) and [on_after_extract_file](#on_after_extract_file-event) events. You can use [on_before_extract_file](#on_before_extract_file-event) to provide your final decision about the extraction of a particular file. Use [decryption_password](#decryption_password-property) property to specify a decryption password for an archive and/or a specific entry within it. If the password is required but wasn't set, or if the provided password is wrong, the component will fire the [on_decryption_password_needed](#on_decryption_password_needed-event) event. This event is fired repeatedly until the correct password is provided or its *Cancel* parameter is returned as true. **Closing the archive** Once you are finished with the archive, call the component's [close](#close-method) method to close the archive file and release the associated memory. ## Property List *The following is the full list of the properties of the class with short descriptions.

For the certificate to be considered a CA, it must have its Basic Constraints extension set with the CA indicator enabled. Set this property when generating a new certificate to have its Basic Constraints extension generated automatically. This property is read-only. # signing_cert_ca_key_id property A unique identifier (fingerprint) of the CA certificate's cryptographic key. ## Syntax ```text def get_signing_cert_ca_key_id() -> bytes: ... signing_cert_ca_key_id = property(get_signing_cert_ca_key_id, None) ``` ## Remarks 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) generates this setting automatically if enough information is available to it: for self-signed certificates, this value is copied from the [signing_cert_subject_key_id](#signing_cert_subject_key_id-property) setting, and for lower-level certificates, from the parent certificate's subject key ID extension. This property is read-only. # signing_cert_crl_distribution_points property Contains a list of locations of CRL distribution points used to check this certificate's validity. ## Syntax ```text def get_signing_cert_crl_distribution_points() -> str: ... signing_cert_crl_distribution_points = property(get_signing_cert_crl_distribution_points, None) ``` ## Default Value "" ## Remarks 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 property 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. This property is read-only. # signing_cert_curve property Specifies the elliptic curve associated with the certificate's public key. ## Syntax ```text def get_signing_cert_curve() -> str: ... signing_cert_curve = property(get_signing_cert_curve, None) ``` ## Default Value "" ## Remarks Specifies the elliptic curve associated with the certificate's public key. This setting only applies to certificates containing EC keys. | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | SB_EC_SECP112R1 | SECP112R1 | | | SB_EC_SECP112R2 | SECP112R2 | | | SB_EC_SECP128R1 | SECP128R1 | | | SB_EC_SECP128R2 | SECP128R2 | | | SB_EC_SECP160K1 | SECP160K1 | | | SB_EC_SECP160R1 | SECP160R1 | | | SB_EC_SECP160R2 | SECP160R2 | | | SB_EC_SECP192K1 | SECP192K1 | | | SB_EC_SECP192R1 | SECP192R1 | | | SB_EC_SECP224K1 | SECP224K1 | | | SB_EC_SECP224R1 | SECP224R1 | | | SB_EC_SECP256K1 | SECP256K1 | | | SB_EC_SECP256R1 | SECP256R1 | | | SB_EC_SECP384R1 | SECP384R1 | | | SB_EC_SECP521R1 | SECP521R1 | | | SB_EC_SECT113R1 | SECT113R1 | | | SB_EC_SECT113R2 | SECT113R2 | | | SB_EC_SECT131R1 | SECT131R1 | | | SB_EC_SECT131R2 | SECT131R2 | | | SB_EC_SECT163K1 | SECT163K1 | | | SB_EC_SECT163R1 | SECT163R1 | | | SB_EC_SECT163R2 | SECT163R2 | | | SB_EC_SECT193R1 | SECT193R1 | | | SB_EC_SECT193R2 | SECT193R2 | | | SB_EC_SECT233K1 | SECT233K1 | | | SB_EC_SECT233R1 | SECT233R1 | | | SB_EC_SECT239K1 | SECT239K1 | | | SB_EC_SECT283K1 | SECT283K1 | | | SB_EC_SECT283R1 | SECT283R1 | | | SB_EC_SECT409K1 | SECT409K1 | | | SB_EC_SECT409R1 | SECT409R1 | | | SB_EC_SECT571K1 | SECT571K1 | | | SB_EC_SECT571R1 | SECT571R1 | | | SB_EC_PRIME192V1 | PRIME192V1 | | | SB_EC_PRIME192V2 | PRIME192V2 | | | SB_EC_PRIME192V3 | PRIME192V3 | | | SB_EC_PRIME239V1 | PRIME239V1 | | | SB_EC_PRIME239V2 | PRIME239V2 | | | SB_EC_PRIME239V3 | PRIME239V3 | | | SB_EC_PRIME256V1 | PRIME256V1 | | | SB_EC_C2PNB163V1 | C2PNB163V1 | | | SB_EC_C2PNB163V2 | C2PNB163V2 | | | SB_EC_C2PNB163V3 | C2PNB163V3 | | | SB_EC_C2PNB176W1 | C2PNB176W1 | | | SB_EC_C2TNB191V1 | C2TNB191V1 | | | SB_EC_C2TNB191V2 | C2TNB191V2 | | | SB_EC_C2TNB191V3 | C2TNB191V3 | | | SB_EC_C2ONB191V4 | C2ONB191V4 | | | SB_EC_C2ONB191V5 | C2ONB191V5 | | | SB_EC_C2PNB208W1 | C2PNB208W1 | | | SB_EC_C2TNB239V1 | C2TNB239V1 | | | SB_EC_C2TNB239V2 | C2TNB239V2 | | | SB_EC_C2TNB239V3 | C2TNB239V3 | | | SB_EC_C2ONB239V4 | C2ONB239V4 | | | SB_EC_C2ONB239V5 | C2ONB239V5 | | | SB_EC_C2PNB272W1 | C2PNB272W1 | | | SB_EC_C2PNB304W1 | C2PNB304W1 | | | SB_EC_C2TNB359V1 | C2TNB359V1 | | | SB_EC_C2PNB368W1 | C2PNB368W1 | | | SB_EC_C2TNB431R1 | C2TNB431R1 | | | SB_EC_NISTP192 | NISTP192 | | | SB_EC_NISTP224 | NISTP224 | | | SB_EC_NISTP256 | NISTP256 | | | SB_EC_NISTP384 | NISTP384 | | | SB_EC_NISTP521 | NISTP521 | | | SB_EC_NISTB163 | NISTB163 | | | SB_EC_NISTB233 | NISTB233 | | | SB_EC_NISTB283 | NISTB283 | | | SB_EC_NISTB409 | NISTB409 | | | SB_EC_NISTB571 | NISTB571 | | | SB_EC_NISTK163 | NISTK163 | | | SB_EC_NISTK233 | NISTK233 | | | SB_EC_NISTK283 | NISTK283 | | | SB_EC_NISTK409 | NISTK409 | | | SB_EC_NISTK571 | NISTK571 | | | SB_EC_GOSTCPTEST | GOSTCPTEST | | | SB_EC_GOSTCPA | GOSTCPA | | | SB_EC_GOSTCPB | GOSTCPB | | | SB_EC_GOSTCPC | GOSTCPC | | | SB_EC_GOSTCPXCHA | GOSTCPXCHA | | | SB_EC_GOSTCPXCHB | GOSTCPXCHB | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP160R1 | BRAINPOOLP160R1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP160T1 | BRAINPOOLP160T1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP192R1 | BRAINPOOLP192R1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP192T1 | BRAINPOOLP192T1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP224R1 | BRAINPOOLP224R1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP224T1 | BRAINPOOLP224T1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP256R1 | BRAINPOOLP256R1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP256T1 | BRAINPOOLP256T1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP320R1 | BRAINPOOLP320R1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP320T1 | BRAINPOOLP320T1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP384R1 | BRAINPOOLP384R1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP384T1 | BRAINPOOLP384T1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP512R1 | BRAINPOOLP512R1 | | | SB_EC_BRAINPOOLP512T1 | BRAINPOOLP512T1 | | | SB_EC_CURVE25519 | CURVE25519 | | | SB_EC_CURVE448 | CURVE448 | | This property is read-only. # signing_cert_fingerprint property Contains the fingerprint (a hash imprint) of this certificate. ## Syntax ```text def get_signing_cert_fingerprint() -> str: ... signing_cert_fingerprint = property(get_signing_cert_fingerprint, None) ``` ## Default Value "" ## Remarks Contains the fingerprint (a hash imprint) of this certificate.

[signing_cert_curve](#signing_cert_curve-property), and [signing_cert_public_key_bytes](#signing_cert_public_key_bytes-property) properties to get more details about the key the certificate contains. This property is read-only. # signing_cert_key_bits property Returns the length of the public key in bits. ## Syntax ```text def get_signing_cert_key_bits() -> int: ... signing_cert_key_bits = property(get_signing_cert_key_bits, None) ``` ## Default Value 0 ## Remarks 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 [signing_cert_public_key_bytes](#signing_cert_public_key_bytes-property) or [signing_cert_private_key_bytes](#ArchiveReader_p_SigningCertPrivateKeyBytes) property would typically contain auxiliary values, and therefore be longer. This property is read-only. # signing_cert_key_fingerprint property Returns a SHA1 fingerprint of the public key contained in the certificate. ## Syntax ```text def get_signing_cert_key_fingerprint() -> str: ... signing_cert_key_fingerprint = property(get_signing_cert_key_fingerprint, None) ``` ## Default Value "" ## Remarks 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 [signing_cert_fingerprint](#signing_cert_fingerprint-property) property. The key fingerprint uniquely identifies the public key, and so can be the same for multiple certificates containing the same key. This property is read-only. # signing_cert_key_usage property Indicates the purposes of the key contained in the certificate, in the form of an OR'ed flag set. ## Syntax ```text def get_signing_cert_key_usage() -> int: ... signing_cert_key_usage = property(get_signing_cert_key_usage, None) ``` ## Default Value 0 ## Remarks 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 property before generating the certificate to propagate the key usage flags to the new certificate. This property is read-only. # signing_cert_key_valid property Returns True if the certificate's key is cryptographically valid, and False otherwise. ## Syntax ```text def get_signing_cert_key_valid() -> bool: ... signing_cert_key_valid = property(get_signing_cert_key_valid, None) ``` ## Default Value FALSE ## Remarks Returns *True* if the certificate's key is cryptographically valid, and *False* otherwise. This property is read-only. # signing_cert_ocsp_locations property Locations of OCSP services that can be used to check this certificate's validity in real time, as recorded by the CA. ## Syntax ```text def get_signing_cert_ocsp_locations() -> str: ... signing_cert_ocsp_locations = property(get_signing_cert_ocsp_locations, None) ``` ## Default Value "" ## Remarks Locations of OCSP services that can be used to check this certificate's validity in real time, as recorded by the CA. Set this property before calling the certificate manager's [generate](#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. This property is read-only. # signing_cert_policy_i_ds property Contains identifiers (OIDs) of the applicable certificate policies. ## Syntax ```text def get_signing_cert_policy_i_ds() -> str: ... signing_cert_policy_i_ds = property(get_signing_cert_policy_i_ds, None) ``` ## Default Value "" ## Remarks 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 property 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. This property is read-only. # signing_cert_public_key_bytes property Contains the certificate's public key in DER format. ## Syntax ```text def get_signing_cert_public_key_bytes() -> bytes: ... signing_cert_public_key_bytes = property(get_signing_cert_public_key_bytes, None) ``` ## Remarks 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. This property is read-only. # signing_cert_self_signed property Indicates whether the certificate is self-signed (root) or signed by an external CA. ## Syntax ```text def get_signing_cert_self_signed() -> bool: ... signing_cert_self_signed = property(get_signing_cert_self_signed, None) ``` ## Default Value FALSE ## Remarks Indicates whether the certificate is self-signed (root) or signed by an external CA. This property is read-only. # signing_cert_serial_number property Returns the certificate's serial number. ## Syntax ```text def get_signing_cert_serial_number() -> bytes: ... signing_cert_serial_number = property(get_signing_cert_serial_number, None) ``` ## Remarks 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. This property is read-only. # signing_cert_sig_algorithm property Indicates the algorithm that was used by the CA to sign this certificate. ## Syntax ```text def get_signing_cert_sig_algorithm() -> str: ... signing_cert_sig_algorithm = property(get_signing_cert_sig_algorithm, None) ``` ## Default Value "" ## Remarks 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*. This property is read-only. # signing_cert_subject property The common name of the certificate holder, typically an individual's name, a URL, an e-mail address, or a company name. ## Syntax ```text def get_signing_cert_subject() -> str: ... signing_cert_subject = property(get_signing_cert_subject, None) ``` ## Default Value "" ## Remarks 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 [signing_cert_subject_rdn](#signing_cert_subject_rdn-property). This property is read-only. # signing_cert_subject_key_id property Contains a unique identifier of the certificate's cryptographic key. ## Syntax ```text def get_signing_cert_subject_key_id() -> bytes: ... signing_cert_subject_key_id = property(get_signing_cert_subject_key_id, None) ``` ## Remarks 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 [signing_cert_subject_key_id](#signing_cert_subject_key_id-property) and [signing_cert_ca_key_id](#signing_cert_ca_key_id-property) properties of self-signed certificates typically contain identical values, as in that specific case, the issuer and the subject are the same entity. This property is read-only. # signing_cert_subject_rdn property A list of Property=Value pairs that uniquely identify the certificate holder (subject). ## Syntax ```text def get_signing_cert_subject_rdn() -> str: ... signing_cert_subject_rdn = property(get_signing_cert_subject_rdn, None) ``` ## Default Value "" ## Remarks 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*. This property is read-only. # signing_cert_valid_from property The time point at which the certificate becomes valid, in UTC. ## Syntax ```text def get_signing_cert_valid_from() -> str: ... signing_cert_valid_from = property(get_signing_cert_valid_from, None) ``` ## Default Value "" ## Remarks The time point at which the certificate becomes valid, in UTC. This property is read-only. # signing_cert_valid_to property The time point at which the certificate expires, in UTC. ## Syntax ```text def get_signing_cert_valid_to() -> str: ... signing_cert_valid_to = property(get_signing_cert_valid_to, None) ``` ## Default Value "" ## Remarks The time point at which the certificate expires, in UTC. This property is read-only. # close method Closes the current archive. ## Syntax ```text def close() -> None: ... ``` ## Remarks Use this method to close the archive that is currently opened and release the associated memory. You won't be able to extract files or access the archive details after closing the archive. # config method Sets or retrieves a configuration setting. ## Syntax ```text def config(configuration_string: str) -> str: ... ``` ## Remarks config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve [configuration settings](#archivereader-config-settings) 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](#archivereader-config-settings), you must call *Config("PROPERTY")*. The value will be returned as a string. # do_action method Performs an additional action. ## Syntax ```text def do_action(action_id: str, action_params: str) -> str: ... ``` ## Remarks do_action is a generic method available in every class. It is used to perform an additional action introduced after the product major release. The list of actions is not fixed, and may be flexibly extended over time. The unique identifier (case insensitive) of the action is provided in the *ActionID* parameter. *ActionParams* contains the value of a single parameter, or a list of multiple parameters for the action in the form of *PARAM1=VALUE1;PARAM2=VALUE2;...*. Common ActionIDs: | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Action | Parameters | Returned value | Description | | ResetTrustedListCache | none | none | Clears the cached list of trusted lists. | | ResetCertificateCache | none | none | Clears the cached certificates. | | ResetCRLCache | none | none | Clears the cached CRLs. | | ResetOCSPResponseCache | none | none | Clears the cached OCSP responses. | # extract method Extracts a single file from the archive. ## Syntax ```text def extract(path: str, local_path: str, preserve_full_path: bool) -> None: ... ``` ## Remarks Use this method to extract a single file from the archive. Pass the internal path to the entry in the archive via the *Path* parameter, and the path where to save the extracted entry via the *LocalPath* parameter. Set *PreserveFullPath* to true to enforce full-path extraction, in which case *LocalPath* would indicate the mount point at which the full *Path* needs to be rooted. If *PreserveFullPath* is false, the *LocalPath* provides the final location for the extracted file. Use [extract_all](#extract_all-method) to extract all files at once. # extract_all method Extract all the files contained in the archive. ## Syntax ```text def extract_all(output_path: str) -> None: ... ``` ## Remarks Use this method to extract all the files contained in the archive file. Pass the path where the extracted files should be saved via the *OutputPath* parameter. You can cherry-pick the files to extract, as well as choose different extraction destinations (including files at custom locations, streams, or memory buffers) by subscribing to [on_before_extract_file](#on_before_extract_file-event) and [on_after_extract_file](#on_after_extract_file-event) events. Use [extract](#extract-method) to extract a single file. # open method Opens an archive file. ## Syntax ```text def open(archive_type: int, archive_path: str) -> None: ... ``` ## Remarks Call this method to open an archive file. Provide the archive type via the *ArchiveType* parameter, and the path via the *ArchivePath* parameter.

The handler of this event is a good place to tune up the destination media. The *Path* parameter indicates the path to the extracted entry in the archive. The *FileSize* specifies the uncompressed size of the file. Set the by-reference *DataSource* parameter in accordance with the desired extraction media type: | | | | --- | --- | | fdsFile (0) | The data will be saved to a file indicated by the ExtractionPath parameter. You can change the path here. | | fdsStream (1) | The data will be saved into a stream assigned to file_stream property. | | fdsBuffer (2) | The file data will be saved to a buffer and returned via the [file_data](#file_data-property) property. | If saving to a stream or buffer, use [on_after_extract_file](#on_after_extract_file-event) to collect the extracted data from file_stream or [file_data](#file_data-property), and dispose of any objects allocated in this event handler (such as the output stream). Use the *Skip* parameter to cancel extraction of this file and proceed to the next one. # on_decryption_password_needed event Requests a decryption password, when needed. ## Syntax ```text class ArchiveReaderDecryptionPasswordNeededEventParams(object): @property def password_target() -> str: ... @property def cancel() -> bool: ... @cancel.setter def cancel(value) -> None: ... # In class ArchiveReader: @property def on_decryption_password_needed() -> Callable[[ArchiveReaderDecryptionPasswordNeededEventParams], None]: ... @on_decryption_password_needed.setter def on_decryption_password_needed(event_hook: Callable[[ArchiveReaderDecryptionPasswordNeededEventParams], None]) -> None: ... ``` ## Remarks Class fires this event when it needs a password to decrypt the archive. Subscribe to this event if you expect to process encrypted archives. Inside the event handler, please assign the correct password to [decryption_password](#decryption_password-property) property, or set *Cancel* parameter to true to terminate the processing. The *PasswordTarget* parameter references the object that is protected with the requested password. # on_error event Reports information about errors during archive processing. ## Syntax ```text class ArchiveReaderErrorEventParams(object): @property def error_code() -> int: ... @property def description() -> str: ... # In class ArchiveReader: @property def on_error() -> Callable[[ArchiveReaderErrorEventParams], None]: ... @on_error.setter def on_error(event_hook: Callable[[ArchiveReaderErrorEventParams], None]) -> None: ... ``` ## Remarks The event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during archive processing. *ErrorCode* contains an error code and *Description* contains a textual description of the error. # on_notification event This event notifies the application about an underlying control flow event. ## Syntax ```text class ArchiveReaderNotificationEventParams(object): @property def event_id() -> str: ... @property def event_param() -> str: ... # In class ArchiveReader: @property def on_notification() -> Callable[[ArchiveReaderNotificationEventParams], None]: ... @on_notification.setter def on_notification(event_hook: Callable[[ArchiveReaderNotificationEventParams], None]) -> None: ... ``` ## 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. # on_progress event Reports the progress of data extraction. ## Syntax ```text class ArchiveReaderProgressEventParams(object): @property def processed() -> int: ... @property def total() -> int: ... @property def overall_processed() -> int: ... @property def overall_total() -> int: ... @property def cancel() -> bool: ... @cancel.setter def cancel(value) -> None: ... # In class ArchiveReader: @property def on_progress() -> Callable[[ArchiveReaderProgressEventParams], None]: ... @on_progress.setter def on_progress(event_hook: Callable[[ArchiveReaderProgressEventParams], None]) -> None: ... ``` ## Remarks Subscribe to this event to be notified about decompression progress. *Processed* and *Total* report the progress of extraction of the current entry; *OverallProcessed* and *OverallTotal* report the progress of the whole operation.

The *PublicKeyHash* contains the hash (fingerprint) of the certificate's public key. This event is an opportunity to add the decryption certificate on a later stage if it was not known at the start of the processing. # on_signature_found event Signifies the start of signature validation. ## Syntax ```text class ArchiveReaderSignatureFoundEventParams(object): @property def issuer_rdn() -> str: ... @property def serial_number() -> bytes: ... @property def subject_key_id() -> bytes: ... @property def cert_found() -> bool: ... @property def validate_signature() -> bool: ... @validate_signature.setter def validate_signature(value) -> None: ... @property def validate_chain() -> bool: ... @validate_chain.setter def validate_chain(value) -> None: ... # In class ArchiveReader: @property def on_signature_found() -> Callable[[ArchiveReaderSignatureFoundEventParams], None]: ... @on_signature_found.setter def on_signature_found(event_hook: Callable[[ArchiveReaderSignatureFoundEventParams], None]) -> None: ... ``` ## 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 known_certificates property. Signature validation consists of two independent stages: cryptographic signature validation and chain validation. Separate validation results are reported for each, with the and properties respectively. Use the *ValidateSignature* and *ValidateChain* parameters to tell the verifier which stages to include in the validation. # ArchiveReader Config Settings 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) method. ### ArchiveReader Config Settings **FilenamesCharset**: The character set to apply to archived file names.Use this setting to apply a specific charset to the names of the archived files: ```text writer.Config("FilenamesCharset=cp852"); ``` **RestoreAttributes**: Specifies whether file and directory attributes should be restored upon extraction.Set this property to true to tell ArchiveReader to restore file attributes when extracting files from the archive. **TempPath**: Path for storing temporary files.This setting specifies an absolute path to the location on disk where temporary files are stored. This setting is supported only in the Java edition for all applicable signing components except [PDFSigner](PDFSigner.md#PDFSigner), where this limitation does not apply. ### Base Config Settings **ASN1UseGlobalTagCache**: Controls whether ASN.1 module should use a global object cache.This is a performance setting. It is unlikely that you will ever need to adjust it. **AssignSystemSmartCardPins**: Specifies whether CSP-level PINs should be assigned to CNG keys.This is a low-level tweak for certain cryptographic providers. It is unlikely that you will ever need to adjust it. **CheckKeyIntegrityBeforeUse**: Enables or disable private key integrity check before use.This global property enables or disables private key material check before each signing operation. This slows down performance a bit, but prevents a selection of attacks on RSA keys where keys with unknown origins are used. You can switch this property off to improve performance if your project only uses known, good private keys. **CookieCaching**: Specifies whether a cookie cache should be used for HTTP(S) transports.Set this property to enable or disable cookies caching for the class.

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.

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.

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. # ArchiveReader Errors
