The XMLSig module is used to sign XML and verify signed XML.

Syntax

IPWorksEncrypt.Xmlsig

Remarks

The XMLSig component provides an easy to use API for signing and verifying signed XML. The Sign method will create signed XML with an enveloped signature. The VerifySignature method will attempt to verify the signature(s) within a XML document.

Sign

Before calling Sign specify the XML to sign by setting InputFile, or InputXML.

The Reference* properties must be set. At least one reference must be set. A reference defines the XML element to sign, and the options that specify how it is transformed and hashed during the signing process.

Set Certificate to a certificate with private key.

Optionally set the CanonicalizationMethod. This determines how the signature itself is canonicalized. SigningAlgorithm defines the algorithm used to sign. The SignatureXPath property may be set to specify the location in the XML document where the signature will be placed.

Lastly, call Sign to sign the XML.

The following properties are applicable when calling this method:

Input and Output Properties

The class will determine the source and destination of the input and output based on which properties are set.

The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:

When a valid source is found the search stops. The order in which the output properties are checked is as follows:
  • OutputFile
  • OutputXML: The output data is written to this property if no other destination is specified.

Verify a Signature

When VerifySignature is called, the class will scan the XML document and fire the SignatureInfo event for each signature that is found. When the SignatureInfo event fires the Reference* properties will be populated.

Within the SignatureInfo event the ReferencesXMLElement property must be set to the location of the XML element to which the signature applies. The ReferencesURI property may contain data helpful to locating the XML element.

The ReferencesXMLElement property specifies the XPath to the element. For instance:

/root/myElement XPath syntax
/root/[1] XPath syntax using an index
/root/ns:myElement XPath syntax where the element has a namespace
myElement Just the element name
@id=myid Attribute selector: This will select an element with an attribute "id" whose value is "myid".
/root/myElement[1]/ns:name2[@attr=attrValue] XPath syntax using an index and attribute selector

The signature is verified either using a key parsed from the signed XML, or using the certificate specified by the SignerCert* properties. The class will automatically parse the signer certificate (if present) from the signed XML and populate the SignerCert* properties with the parsed value.

When SignatureInfo fires, if the SignerCertParsed parameter is True the SignerCert* properties may be inspected to see the details of the parsed certificate. If SignerCertParsed is False, then the SignerCert* properties must be set to a valid certificate for signature verification to proceed.

When the SignatureInfo event finishes firing, the certificate present in the SignerCert* properties will be used to verify the signature, whether this is the certificate automatically parsed by the class or a different certificate specified within the event.

If the signature was successfully verified the method will return without error. If the signature was not verified the method .

Remarks

This is the type of certificate store for this certificate.

The class supports both public and private keys in a variety of formats. When the cstAuto value is used, the class will automatically determine the type. This property can take one of the following values:

0 (cstUser - default)For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a certificate store owned by the current user.

Note: This store type is not available in Java.

1 (cstMachine)For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a machine store.

Note: This store type is not available in Java.

Note: This store type is only available in Java and .NET.

22 (cstBCFKSBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in BCFKS (Bouncy Castle FIPS Key Store) format.

Note: This store type is only available in Java and .NET.

23 (cstPKCS11)The certificate is present on a physical security key accessible via a PKCS#11 interface.

To use a security key, the necessary data must first be collected using the CertMgr class. The ListStoreCertificates method may be called after setting CertStoreType to cstPKCS11, CertStorePassword to the PIN, and CertStore to the full path of the PKCS#11 DLL. The certificate information returned in the CertList event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use.

When using a certificate, pass the previously saved security key information as the CertStore and set CertStorePassword to the PIN.

Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key: certmgr.CertStoreType = CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11; certmgr.OnCertList += (s, e) => { secKeyBlob = e.CertEncoded; }; certmgr.CertStore = @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll"; certmgr.CertStorePassword = "123456"; //PIN certmgr.ListStoreCertificates(); sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, secKeyBlob, "123456", "*"); sftp.SSHUser = "test"; sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);

99 (cstAuto)The store type is automatically detected from the input data. This setting may be used with both public and private keys and can detect any of the supported formats automatically.

This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.

If a matching certificate is found, the property is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:

FieldMeaning
CNCommon Name. This is commonly a hostname like www.server.com.
OOrganization
OUOrganizational Unit

The certificate information returned in the CertList event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use.

When using a certificate, pass the previously saved security key information as the SignerCertStore and set SignerCertStorePassword to the PIN.

Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key: certmgr.CertStoreType = CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11; certmgr.OnCertList += (s, e) => { secKeyBlob = e.CertEncoded; }; certmgr.CertStore = @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll"; certmgr.CertStorePassword = "123456"; //PIN certmgr.ListStoreCertificates(); sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, secKeyBlob, "123456", "*"); sftp.SSHUser = "test"; sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);

99 (cstAuto)The store type is automatically detected from the input data. This setting may be used with both public and private keys and can detect any of the supported formats automatically.

SignerCertSubject Property (XMLSig Module)

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

Syntax

public var signerCertSubject: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=signerCertSubject,setter=setSignerCertSubject:) NSString* signerCertSubject;

- (NSString*)signerCertSubject;
- (void)setSignerCertSubject :(NSString*)newSignerCertSubject;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.

If a matching certificate is found, the property is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:

FieldMeaning
CNCommon Name. This is commonly a hostname like www.server.com.
OOrganization
OUOrganizational Unit
LLocality
SState
CCountry
EEmail Address

If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.

If an error occurs when setting this property an error will not be thrown. This property has a related method which will throw an error:

public func setSignerCertSubject(signerCertSubject: String) throws

SigningAlgorithm Property (XMLSig Module)

The signing algorithm.

Syntax

public var signingAlgorithm: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=signingAlgorithm,setter=setSigningAlgorithm:) NSString* signingAlgorithm;

- (NSString*)signingAlgorithm;
- (void)setSigningAlgorithm :(NSString*)newSigningAlgorithm;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property specifies the signing algorithm.

This may be set before calling Sign. This value will be set after calling VerifySignature. Possible values are:

  • "RSA-SHA1" (default)
  • "RSA-SHA256"
  • "DSA-SHA1"
  • "HMAC-SHA1"
Note: When set to "HMAC-SHA1" HMACKey must also be set.

Config Method (XMLSig Module)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

public func config(configurationString: String) throws -> String
- (NSString*)config:(NSString*)configurationString;

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration 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, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

DoEvents Method (XMLSig Module)

Processes events from the internal message queue.

Syntax

public func doEvents() throws -> Void
- (void)doEvents;

Remarks

When DoEvents is called, the class processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.

Reset Method (XMLSig Module)

Resets the component.

Syntax

public func reset() throws -> Void
- (void)reset;

Remarks

When called, the component will reset all of its properties to their default values.

Sign Method (XMLSig Module)

Signs the XML.

Syntax

public func sign() throws -> Void
- (void)sign;

Remarks

This methods signs the XML.

Before calling Sign specify the XML to sign by setting InputFile, or InputXML.

The Reference* properties must be set. At least one reference must be set. A reference defines the XML element to sign, and the options that specify how it is transformed and hashed during the signing process.

Set Certificate to a certificate with private key.

Optionally set the CanonicalizationMethod. This determines how the signature itself is canonicalized. SigningAlgorithm defines the algorithm used to sign. The SignatureXPath property may be set to specify the location in the XML document where the signature will be placed.

Lastly, call Sign to sign the XML.

The following properties are applicable when calling this method:

Input and Output Properties

The class will determine the source and destination of the input and output based on which properties are set.

The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:

When a valid source is found the search stops. The order in which the output properties are checked is as follows:
  • OutputFile
  • OutputXML: The output data is written to this property if no other destination is specified.

VerifySignature Method (XMLSig Module)

Verifies signed XML.

Syntax

public func verifySignature() throws -> Void
- (void)verifySignature;

Remarks

This method verifies signatures contained in the XML.

When VerifySignature is called, the class will scan the XML document and fire the SignatureInfo event for each signature that is found. When the SignatureInfo event fires the Reference* properties will be populated.

Within the SignatureInfo event the ReferencesXMLElement property must be set to the location of the XML element to which the signature applies. The ReferencesURI property may contain data helpful to locating the XML element.

The ReferencesXMLElement property specifies the XPath to the element. For instance:

/root/myElement XPath syntax
/root/[1] XPath syntax using an index
/root/ns:myElement XPath syntax where the element has a namespace
myElement Just the element name
@id=myid Attribute selector: This will select an element with an attribute "id" whose value is "myid".
/root/myElement[1]/ns:name2[@attr=attrValue] XPath syntax using an index and attribute selector

The signature is verified either using a key parsed from the signed XML, or using the certificate specified by the SignerCert* properties. The class will automatically parse the signer certificate (if present) from the signed XML and populate the SignerCert* properties with the parsed value.

When SignatureInfo fires, if the SignerCertParsed parameter is True the SignerCert* properties may be inspected to see the details of the parsed certificate. If SignerCertParsed is False, then the SignerCert* properties must be set to a valid certificate for signature verification to proceed.

When the SignatureInfo event finishes firing, the certificate present in the SignerCert* properties will be used to verify the signature, whether this is the certificate automatically parsed by the class or a different certificate specified within the event.

If the signature was successfully verified the method will return without error. If the signature was not verified the method .

Error Event (XMLSig Module)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

func onError(errorCode: Int32, description: String)
- (void)onError:(int)errorCode :(NSString*)description;

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class .

The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

Progress Event (XMLSig Module)

Fired as progress is made.

Syntax

func onProgress(bytesProcessed: Int64, percentProcessed: Int32, operation: Int32, isEOF: inout Bool)
- (void)onProgress:(long long)bytesProcessed :(int)percentProcessed :(int)operation :(int*)isEOF;

Remarks

This event is fired automatically as data is processed by the class.

The PercentProcessed parameter indicates the current status of the operation.

The BytesProcessed parameter holds the total number of bytes processed so far.

The Operation parameter is only applicable when either ReadFromProgressEvent or WriteToProgressEvent is set to True. This parameter defines whether a Read or Write operation is required. If the configuration settings are not set this parameter will always return 0. Possible values are:

0None
1Read
2Write

The IsEOF parameter is only applicable when either ReadFromProgressEvent or WriteToProgressEvent is set to True. This parameter defines whether the Read or Write operation is complete. When the Operation is Read (1) this parameter must be set to indicate that all data has been supplied to the class. When the Operation is Write (2) this value may be queried to determine when all data has been processed.

SignatureInfo Event (XMLSig Module)

Fired when a signature is found.

Syntax

func onSignatureInfo(signatureId: String, signerCertParsed: Bool)
- (void)onSignatureInfo:(NSString*)signatureId :(BOOL)signerCertParsed;

Remarks

This event fires when calling VerifySignature for each signature found within the XML document.

SignatureId is the id of the signature.

SignerCertParsed indicates whether the signer's certificate was automatically parsed from the signed XML.

Verification Notes

When VerifySignature is called, the class will scan the XML document and fire the SignatureInfo event for each signature that is found. When the SignatureInfo event fires the Reference* properties will be populated.

Within the SignatureInfo event the ReferencesXMLElement property must be set to the location of the XML element to which the signature applies. The ReferencesURI property may contain data helpful to locating the XML element.

The ReferencesXMLElement property specifies the XPath to the element. For instance:

/root/myElement XPath syntax
/root/[1] XPath syntax using an index
/root/ns:myElement XPath syntax where the element has a namespace
myElement Just the element name
@id=myid Attribute selector: This will select an element with an attribute "id" whose value is "myid".
/root/myElement[1]/ns:name2[@attr=attrValue] XPath syntax using an index and attribute selector

The signature is verified either using a key parsed from the signed XML, or using the certificate specified by the SignerCert* properties. The class will automatically parse the signer certificate (if present) from the signed XML and populate the SignerCert* properties with the parsed value.

When SignatureInfo fires, if the SignerCertParsed parameter is True the SignerCert* properties may be inspected to see the details of the parsed certificate. If SignerCertParsed is False, then the SignerCert* properties must be set to a valid certificate for signature verification to proceed.

When the SignatureInfo event finishes firing, the certificate present in the SignerCert* properties will be used to verify the signature, whether this is the certificate automatically parsed by the class or a different certificate specified within the event.

If the signature was successfully verified the method will return without error. If the signature was not verified the method .

Status Event (XMLSig Module)

Provides information about the current operation.

Syntax

func onStatus(message: String)
- (void)onStatus:(NSString*)message;

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. It may be used to track the progress of an operation.

The level of detail is controlled by the LogLevel setting.

Config Settings (XMLSig Module)

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 method.

XMLSig Config Settings

KeyName:   The name of the key used to sign the XML.

This setting optionally holds the key name which may be useful to the recipient to help identify the key used to create the signature. This may be set before calling Sign. When calling VerifySignature this may be queried inside the SignatureInfo event.

Note that this value is only informative, it does not affect processing.

LogLevel:   Specifies the level of detail that is logged.

This setting controls the level of detail that is logged through the Status event. Possible values are:

0 (None)No events are logged.
1 (Info - default)Informational events are logged.
2 (Verbose)Detailed data is logged.
3 (Debug)Debug data is logged.
NormalizeLineEndings:   Whether to normalize line endings when calculating the reference digest.

This setting specifies whether to normalize line endings when calculating the reference digest. When set to True all line endings will be converted to LF. The default value is True.

PreserveWhitespace:   Whether to preserve whitespace in the signature.

This setting specifies whether whitespace is preserved when canonicalizing XML. The default value is False.

ReadFromProgressEvent:   Whether to read input data from inside the progress event.

When set to True this setting allows input data to be specified from within the Progress event. The class will repeatedly fire the Progress event to ask for data. Inside the event set InputXML when the Operation parameter of the event is 1 (Read). When all data has been provided set the IsEOF parameter of the event to True. This allows input data to be chunked and provided piece by piece. The default value is False.

SignatureRelationship:   Whether the signature is a child or sibling of the SignatureXPath.

This setting specifies whether the created signature is included as a child or sibling of the element specified by SignatureXPath. If this is set to 0 (default), the signature is inserted as a child of the element. If this is set to 1, the signature is inserted as a sibling after the element. The default value is 0 (child).

Example: SignatureRelationship is set to 0 (child - default) xmlsig1.SignatureXPath = "/root/node1"; Produces XML like:

<root>
  <node1>
    <ds:Signature>...</ds:Signature>
  </node1>
  <node2></node2>
  <node3></node3>
</root>

Example: SignatureRelationship is set to 1 (sibling) xmlsig1.SignatureXPath = "/root/node1"; xmlsig1.Config("SignatureRelationship=1"); Produces XML like:

<root>
  <node1></node1>
  <ds:Signature>...</ds:Signature>
  <node2></node2>
  <node3></node3>
</root>

SignerCertCount:   The number of parsed signer certificates when verifying a signature.

This setting is populated when calling VerifySignature. It holds the number of signer certificates that were parsed from the message. In most cases a single certificate is present and SignerCert is populated. In some cases, multiple certificates in a chain may be present, in that case each parsed certificate can be accessed via this property and SignerCertEncoded. For instance: int certCount = Int32.Parse(xmlsig.Config("SignerCertCount")); for(int i=0;i<certCount;i++) { Console.WriteLine(xmlsig.Config("SignerCertEncoded[ " + i + "]")); }

SignerCertEncoded[i]:   The parsed signer certificate.

This setting is used in conjunction with SignerCertCount to retrieve the base64 encoded signer certificate parsed from the message. Valid values for the index are from 0 to SignerCertCount - 1. SignerCertEncoded

SignWithCryptoAPI:   Whether to use the Crypto API for signing operations.

This setting determines whether to use the Microsoft Crypto API to sign. This is helpful in cases where the certificate is present in the Windows Certificate Store but the private key is not marked as exportable. For instance when using a USB security key. The default value is False.

Note: This functionality is only available on Windows.

WriteToProgressEvent:   Whether to write output data so it is accessible from inside the progress event.

When set to True this setting allows output data to be obtained from within the Progress event. The class will repeatedly fire the Progress event to provide output data. Inside the event check OutputXML when the Operation parameter of the event is 2 (Write). The IsEOF parameter should be checked inside the event to determine when all output data has been provided. This allows output data to be chunked and obtained piece by piece. The default value is False.

Base Config Settings

BuildInfo:   Information about the product's build.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

CodePage:   The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.

The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).
