# PDFEncryptor Class

The PDFEncryptor class encrypts PDF documents.

## Syntax

```text
class secureblackbox.PDFEncryptor
```

## Remarks

PDFEncryptor encrypts PDF documents with passwords or certificates.

Use PDFEncryptor to encrypt unencrypted and unsigned PDF documents. The PDF specification offers two encryption types:

- Password-based encryption: only someone who knows the password can decrypt the document.
- Certificate-based encryption: only the person who has the private key matching the encryption certificate can decrypt the document.

To encrypt a document with a password, simply assign the password to [owner_password](#owner_password-property) and [user_password](#user_password-property) properties. While PDF allows you to use different passwords for less-restricted owner and more-restricted user, this is rarely used in practice, with the majority of implementations sticking to the same password for both types of users.

To encrypt a document with a certificate, load the recipient's certificate using [CertificateManager](CertificateManager.md#CertificateManager) or [CertificateStorage](CertificateStorage.md#CertificateStorage) components and assign it to the encryption_certificate property. The certificate does not need to include the private key.

For both encryption types, use [permissions](#permissions-property) setting to adjust what the viewer can and cannot do. Please note that those are largely declarative, and when a PDF viewing application gets access to the decryption password, it can violate them or simply re-save the document without encryption.

Use [encryption_algorithm](#encryption_algorithm-property) property to tweak the encryption algorithm. [encrypt_metadata](#encrypt_metadata-property) specifies whether the document information (author name, producer software etc.) should be encrypted together with the rest of the document or kept in the clear.

Finally, provide the input and output locations using [input_file](#input_file-property) (or [input_bytes](#input_bytes-property)) and [output_file](#output_file-property) properties and call the [encrypt](#encrypt-method) method to complete the operation. If [output_file](#output_file-property) is not assigned, the encrypted document will be generated in [output_bytes](#output_bytes-property).

```text
  encryptor.InputFile = "plain.pdf";
  encryptor.OutputFile = "encrypted.pdf";
  encryptor.OwnerPassword = "password";
  encryptor.UserPassword = "password";
  encryptor.Permissions = pepLowQualityPrint | pepHighQualityPrint;
  encryptor.Encrypt();
```

encryption_certificate_ca_key_id = property(get_encryption_certificate_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 [encryption_certificate_subject_key_id](#encryption_certificate_subject_key_id-property) setting, and for lower-level certificates, from the parent certificate's subject key ID extension.

This property is read-only.

# encryption_certificate_cert_type property

## Syntax

```text
def get_encryption_certificate_cert_type() -> int: ...
encryption_certificate_cert_type = property(get_encryption_certificate_cert_type, None)
```

## Possible Values

```text
0   # Unknown1   # X509Certificate2   # X509CertificateRequest
```

## Default Value

0

## Remarks

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

A [Certificate](#Type_Certificate) 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) class to load or create new certificate and certificate requests objects.

This property is read-only.

# encryption_certificate_crl_distribution_points property

Contains a list of locations of CRL distribution points used to check this certificate's validity.

## Syntax

```text
def get_encryption_certificate_crl_distribution_points() -> str: ...
def set_encryption_certificate_crl_distribution_points(value: str) -> None: ...
encryption_certificate_crl_distribution_points = property(get_encryption_certificate_crl_distribution_points, set_encryption_certificate_crl_distribution_points)
```

## 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.

# encryption_certificate_curve property

Specifies the elliptic curve associated with the certificate's public key.

## Syntax

```text
def get_encryption_certificate_curve() -> str: ...
def set_encryption_certificate_curve(value: str) -> None: ...
encryption_certificate_curve = property(get_encryption_certificate_curve, set_encryption_certificate_curve)
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

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

# encryption_certificate_fingerprint property

Contains the fingerprint (a hash imprint) of this certificate.

## Syntax

```text
def get_encryption_certificate_fingerprint() -> str: ...
encryption_certificate_fingerprint = property(get_encryption_certificate_fingerprint, None)
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

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.

This property is read-only.

# encryption_certificate_friendly_name property

Contains an associated alias (friendly name) of the certificate.

## Syntax

```text
def get_encryption_certificate_friendly_name() -> str: ...
encryption_certificate_friendly_name = property(get_encryption_certificate_friendly_name, None)
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

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.

This property is read-only.

# encryption_certificate_handle property

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

## Syntax

```text
def get_encryption_certificate_handle() -> int: ...
def set_encryption_certificate_handle(value: int) -> None: ...
encryption_certificate_handle = property(get_encryption_certificate_handle, set_encryption_certificate_handle)
```

## 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.

```text
  pdfSigner.setSigningCertHandle(certMgr.getCertHandle());
```

# encryption_certificate_hash_algorithm property

Provides means to set the hash algorithm to be used in the subsequent operation on the certificate (such as generation or key signing).

## Syntax

```text
def get_encryption_certificate_hash_algorithm() -> str: ...
def set_encryption_certificate_hash_algorithm(value: str) -> None: ...
encryption_certificate_hash_algorithm = property(get_encryption_certificate_hash_algorithm, set_encryption_certificate_hash_algorithm)
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

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 [encryption_certificate_sig_algorithm](#encryption_certificate_sig_algorithm-property) to find out the hash algorithm that is part of the certificate signature.

# encryption_certificate_issuer property

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

## Syntax

```text
def get_encryption_certificate_issuer() -> str: ...
encryption_certificate_issuer = property(get_encryption_certificate_issuer, None)
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

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

This property is read-only.

# encryption_certificate_issuer_rdn property

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

## Syntax

```text
def get_encryption_certificate_issuer_rdn() -> str: ...
def set_encryption_certificate_issuer_rdn(value: str) -> None: ...
encryption_certificate_issuer_rdn = property(get_encryption_certificate_issuer_rdn, set_encryption_certificate_issuer_rdn)
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

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

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

# encryption_certificate_key_algorithm property

Specifies the public key algorithm of this certificate.

## Syntax

```text
def get_encryption_certificate_key_algorithm() -> str: ...
def set_encryption_certificate_key_algorithm(value: str) -> None: ...
encryption_certificate_key_algorithm = property(get_encryption_certificate_key_algorithm, set_encryption_certificate_key_algorithm)
```

## Default Value

"0"

## Remarks

Specifies the public key algorithm of this certificate.

Use the [encryption_certificate_key_bits](#encryption_certificate_key_bits-property), [encryption_certificate_curve](#encryption_certificate_curve-property), and [encryption_certificate_public_key_bytes](#encryption_certificate_public_key_bytes-property) properties to get more details about the key the certificate contains.

# encryption_certificate_key_bits property

Returns the length of the public key in bits.

## Syntax

```text
def get_encryption_certificate_key_bits() -> int: ...
encryption_certificate_key_bits = property(get_encryption_certificate_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 [encryption_certificate_public_key_bytes](#encryption_certificate_public_key_bytes-property) or [encryption_certificate_private_key_bytes](#encryption_certificate_private_key_bytes-property) property would typically contain auxiliary values, and therefore be longer.

This property is read-only.

# encryption_certificate_key_fingerprint property

Returns a SHA1 fingerprint of the public key contained in the certificate.

## Syntax

```text
def get_encryption_certificate_key_fingerprint() -> str: ...
encryption_certificate_key_fingerprint = property(get_encryption_certificate_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 [encryption_certificate_fingerprint](#encryption_certificate_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.

# encryption_certificate_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_encryption_certificate_key_usage() -> int: ...
def set_encryption_certificate_key_usage(value: int) -> None: ...
encryption_certificate_key_usage = property(get_encryption_certificate_key_usage, set_encryption_certificate_key_usage)
```

## 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:

# 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](#pdfencryptor-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](#pdfencryptor-config-settings), you must call *Config("PROPERTY")*. The value will be returned as a string.

# do_action method

@on_error.setter
def on_error(event_hook: Callable[[PDFEncryptorErrorEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

The event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during PDF 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 PDFEncryptorNotificationEventParams(object):

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:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| DocumentLoaded | Notifies the application that the document has been loaded. This is a backward-compatibility-only notification. Use OnDocumentLoaded event instead. |

# PDFEncryptor 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.

**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).

**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.

**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.
