PPOP Component
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The PPOP component is used retrieve and process OpenPGP encrypted and/or signed messages from Internet Post Office servers (POP).
Syntax
TipgPPOP
Remarks
The PPOP component implements a standard internet post office (POP3) client, as specified in RFC 1725, and supports decrypting and verifying signatures of encrypted and signed emails using OpenPGP. You can send an OpenPGP signed and encrypted message using the PSMTP component by calling the Encrypt, Sign, and SignAndEncrypt methods.
Connect to the Server
To connect to a MailServer, first set the appropriate User and Password and then connect by calling the Connect method. Upon successful connection to the MailServer, the number of waiting messages is shown by the MessageCount property. A message is selected by setting the MessageNumber property to a number between 1 and MessageCount (inclusive). Then, the message text and/or headers are received by calling the Retrieve method.
Receive Messages
The message text is received through the Transfer event, whereas the message headers are received through the Header event. Additionally, up to MaxLines from the message body are provided in the MessageText property. The StartTransfer and EndTransfer events are fired at the beginning and end of message transmission. The PITrail event provides a trace of the interaction between the client and server (excluding message transfers).
Verify
To verify the signature of a message specify the public key to be used for signature verification by
setting the SignerKey* properties. For instance:
PPOP1.SignerKeyCount = 1
PPOP1.SignerKeyKeyring(0) = "c:\my_keyring_dir"
PPOP1.SignerKeyUserId(0) = "sender@nsoftware.com"
The specified public key will be used to verify the signature when calling VerifySignature.
Decrypt
To process an encrypted or signed message first retrieve the message text and headers by calling Retrieve.
To decrypt a message specify the private key to be used for decryption by setting the Key* properties. For instance:
PPOP1.KeyCount = 1
PPOP1.KeyKeyring(0) = "c:\my_keyring_dir"
PPOP1.KeyUserId(0) = "recipient@nsoftware.com"
PPOP1.KeyPassphrase(0) = "password"
The specified private key will be used to decrypt the message when calling Decrypt.
Decrypt and Verify
To decrypt and verify in one step, you can call DecryptAndVerifySignature. Set the public key of the sender in the and the private key to be used for decryption in the Key* properties .

When loading a key with multiple user Ids, this property will be populated with the UserId that was most recently added to the key. To discover all of the UserIds associated with a key query this property and KeyOtherUserIds after loading the key.
The UserId format is:
FirstName LastName (Comment) <Email>Not all values are required when selecting or generating a key, but at least FirstName or Email are required.
Note that for OpenPGP v6, a key may be created with or without a UserId, as the field is optional. If a key was created without a UserId, the key's Fingerprint can be used as it's identifier instead.
When using this property to select a key you may also specify the key's Id, or any of its subkeys' Ids, instead of a user Id. The component will then search for a key with a matching Id. This is helpful in situations where you do not have the UserId but still need to load the key, such as within the OpenPGP component's RecipientInfo event.
The KeyIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the KeyCount property.
This property is not available at design time.

LocalHost Property (PPOP Component)
This property includes the name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.
Syntax
__property String LocalHost = { read=FLocalHost, write=FSetLocalHost };
Default Value
""
Remarks
The LocalHost property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.
In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the component initiate connections (or accept in the case of server components) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used.
If the component is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).
Note: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.

Syntax
String __fastcall Config(String ConfigurationString);
Remarks
Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the component.
These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, 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.
Connect Method (PPOP Component)
This method connects to the mail server and attempts to log in.
Syntax
void __fastcall Connect();
Remarks
This method connects to the mail server and attempts to log in using the current User and Password. Then it retrieves the initial statistics about the mailbox contents (MessageCount and QueryTotalSize).
Example. Connect to POP Mailbox:
POPControl.MailServer = "MyPOPServer"
POPControl.User = "username"
POPControl.Password = "password"
POPControl.Connect()
POPControl.MessageNumber = 1
POPControl.Retrieve()
MessageText = POPControl.MessageText
MessageHeaders = POPControl.MessageHeaders
Decrypt Method (PPOP Component)
Decrypts the message.
Syntax
void __fastcall Decrypt();
Remarks
This method decrypts the specified message.
The message will be decrypted using the keys specified in Keys. Before decryption begins the component will fire the RecipientInfo event with information about the encrypted message, including the key used to encrypt the message. Within this event you may use the available information to load the correct key into Keys.
DecryptAndVerifySignature Method (PPOP Component)
Decrypts and verifies the signature of the message.
Syntax
void __fastcall DecryptAndVerifySignature();
Remarks
This method attempts to both decrypt and verify the signature of the message. All of the properties affected by calling the Decrypt and VerifySignature methods are affected in the same manner.
This method may be used when the data is signed, encrypted, or signed and encrypted. For instance, if the data is encrypted but not signed you may still use this method and the component will perform the decryption without error.
The message will be decrypted using the keys specified in Keys. Before decryption begins the component will fire the RecipientInfo event with information about the encrypted message, including the key used to encrypt the message. Within this event you may use the available information to load the correct key into Keys.
The message will be verified using the keys specified in SignerKeys. Before verification begins the component will fire the SignatureInfo event with information about the signature including the key used to sign the message. Within this event you may use the information available to load the correct key into SignerKeys.
By default, if the signature is not valid the component raises an exception. The configuration setting RequireValidSignature may be set to False to disable this requirement. When RequireValidSignature is set to False, the Status parameter of the VerificationStatus event should be checked to determine the result of the operation.
NOTE: This method does not attempt to check the validity of the signing key itself.
Delete Method (PPOP Component)
This method deletes a message specified by MessageNumber on the server.
Syntax
void __fastcall Delete();
Remarks
This method asks the MailServer to delete the message specified by MessageNumber. The message will not actually be deleted from the server until the connection is closed. To cancel a previous Delete, use the Reset method.
Disconnect Method (PPOP Component)
This method disconnects from the mail server.
Syntax
void __fastcall Disconnect();
Remarks
This method makes the component disconnect from the MailServer by sending the QUIT command. If successful, all changes to the mailbox are committed by the server. Otherwise, changes are rolled back to the initial state that the server was in before the connection.
DoEvents Method (PPOP Component)
This method processes events from the internal message queue.
Syntax
void __fastcall DoEvents();
Remarks
When DoEvents is called, the component processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.

QueryMessageSize Method (PPOP Component)
This method returns the size in bytes of the current message.
Syntax
__int64 __fastcall QueryMessageSize();
Remarks
This method queries the server for the size in bytes of the message specified by MessageNumber. The method returns the size (in bytes) of the message.
If the component is not connected, or MessageNumber does not contain a valid message number, the return value is 0. Otherwise, it returns the size of the mail message (including headers) as reported by the server.
The MailServer is asked about the size of the message only if the MessageNumber property has changed. If MessageNumber has not changed, the component returns a cached value.
QueryMessageUID Method (PPOP Component)
This method returns the unique identifier (UID) of the message as specified by the server.
Syntax
String __fastcall QueryMessageUID();
Remarks
This method returns the unique identifier (UID) of the message specified by MessageNumber. If the component is not connected, or MessageNumber does not contain a valid message number, the return value of this method is an empty string. Otherwise, it returns the UID of the mail message as reported by the server.

This method is used to retrieve a message specified by MessageNumber from the server. It asks the MailServer to retrieve the message specified by MessageNumber. The message headers will arrive in the Header event, and the message text will arrive in the Transfer event.
The MaxLines property defines the number of lines retrieved.
Example. Connect and Retrieve Messages:
POPControl.MailServer = "MyPOPServer"
POPControl.User = "username"
POPControl.Password = "password"
POPControl.Connect()
POPControl.MessageNumber = 1
POPControl.Retrieve()
RetrieveHeaders Method (PPOP Component)
This method retrieves headers for a message specified by MessageNumber .
Syntax
void __fastcall RetrieveHeaders();
Remarks
Calling this method will retrieve the headers for the message specified by the MessageNumber property. The message headers will be provided by the Header event and also stored in the MessageHeaders property.
Example. Connect and Retrieve Message Headers:
POPControl.MailServer = "MyPOPServer"
POPControl.User = "username"
POPControl.Password = "password"
POPControl.Connect()
POPControl.MessageNumber = 1
POPControl.RetrieveHeaders()
SendCommand Method (PPOP Component)
This method sends the exact command directly to the server.
Syntax
void __fastcall SendCommand(String Command);
Remarks
This method sends the command specified by Command to the server exactly as it is provided. Use this method to send additional or custom commands directly to the server.
After calling this method, check the LastReply property or monitor the PITrail event to obtain the server's response.
VerifySignature Method (PPOP Component)
Verifies the signature of the current message.
Syntax
void __fastcall VerifySignature();
Remarks
This method verifies the signature of the message.
The message will be verified using the keys specified in SignerKeys. Before verification begins the component will fire the SignatureInfo event with information about the signature including the key used to sign the message. Within this event you may use the information available to load the correct key into SignerKeys.
By default, if the signature is not valid the component raises an exception. The configuration setting RequireValidSignature may be set to False to disable this requirement. When RequireValidSignature is set to False, the Status parameter of the VerificationStatus event should be checked to determine the result of the operation.
ConnectionStatus Event (PPOP Component)
This event is fired to indicate changes in the connection state.
Syntax
typedef struct { String ConnectionEvent; int StatusCode; String Description; } TipgPPOPConnectionStatusEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPPOPConnectionStatusEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPPOPConnectionStatusEventParams *e); __property TipgPPOPConnectionStatusEvent OnConnectionStatus = { read=FOnConnectionStatus, write=FOnConnectionStatus };
Remarks
The ConnectionStatus event is fired when the connection state changes: for example, completion of a firewall or proxy connection or completion of a security handshake.
The ConnectionEvent parameter indicates the type of connection event. Values may include the following:
Firewall connection complete. | |
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or S/Shell handshake complete (where applicable). | |
Remote host connection complete. | |
Remote host disconnected. | |
SSL or S/Shell connection broken. | |
Firewall host disconnected. |
EndTransfer Event (PPOP Component)
This event is fired when the message completes transferring.
Syntax
typedef struct { int Direction; } TipgPPOPEndTransferEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPPOPEndTransferEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPPOPEndTransferEventParams *e); __property TipgPPOPEndTransferEvent OnEndTransfer = { read=FOnEndTransfer, write=FOnEndTransfer };
Remarks
The EndTransfer event is fired when the message body completes transferring from the server to the local host.
The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.
Error Event (PPOP Component)
Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.
Syntax
typedef struct { int ErrorCode; String Description; } TipgPPOPErrorEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPPOPErrorEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPPOPErrorEventParams *e); __property TipgPPOPErrorEvent OnError = { read=FOnError, write=FOnError };
Remarks
The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the component raises an exception.
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.
Header Event (PPOP Component)
This event is fired for every message header being retrieved.
Syntax
typedef struct { String Field; String Value; } TipgPPOPHeaderEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPPOPHeaderEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPPOPHeaderEventParams *e); __property TipgPPOPHeaderEvent OnHeader = { read=FOnHeader, write=FOnHeader };
Remarks
The Field parameter contains the name of the header (in the same case as it is delivered). The Value parameter contains the header contents.
If the header line being retrieved is a continuation header line, then the Field parameter contains "" (empty string).
KeyPassphrase Event (PPOP Component)
Fired if the passphrase of current key is incorrect or empty.
Syntax
typedef struct { String UserId; String KeyId; String Fingerprint; String Passphrase; } TipgPPOPKeyPassphraseEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPPOPKeyPassphraseEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPPOPKeyPassphraseEventParams *e); __property TipgPPOPKeyPassphraseEvent OnKeyPassphrase = { read=FOnKeyPassphrase, write=FOnKeyPassphrase };
Remarks
This event fires when the passphrase for the key is required. The passphrase must be specified before operations requiring the secret key are attempted. The passphrase may be supplied by setting the Passphrase parameter in this event, or by specifying the KeyPassphrase property before attempting the operation.
The passphrase is required when using the following methods in KeyMgr:
- AddUserId
- SignUserId
- ChangeExpirationDate
- ChangePassphrase
When using the OpenPGP component, or an email-based component, the following methods require a passphrase for the key:
- Decrypt
- Sign
- SignAndEncrypt
UserId holds the user Id of the key the passphrase is required for.
The UserId format is:
FirstName LastName (Comment) <Email>Not all values are required when selecting or generating a key, but at least FirstName or Email are required.
Note that for OpenPGP v6, a key may be created with or without a UserId, as the field is optional. If a key was created without a UserId, the key's Fingerprint can be used as it's identifier instead.
KeyId is the hex-encoded, 4-byte or 8-byte Id of the key the passphrase is required for. For OpenPGP v4 keys and earlier, the key Id corresponds to the last 4 or 8 bytes of the key's Fingerprint. For OpenPGP v6 keys, the key Id corresponds to the first 8 bytes of the key's Fingerprint instead. For instance:
5E70662EA810E768
Fingerprint holds the hex-encoded, 20-byte fingerprint of the key the passphrase is required for. This is in the form:
5E70662EA810E768391A2FE8F7B7D49C89C9D7B1
MessageList Event (PPOP Component)
This event is fired for every message listed by ListMessageSizes and/or ListMessageUIDs .
Syntax
typedef struct { int MessageNumber; String MessageUID; int MessageSize; } TipgPPOPMessageListEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPPOPMessageListEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPPOPMessageListEventParams *e); __property TipgPPOPMessageListEvent OnMessageList = { read=FOnMessageList, write=FOnMessageList };
Remarks
When ListMessageSizes is called, MessageSize is valid, and MessageUID is always an empty string.
When ListMessageUIDs is called, MessageUID is valid, and MessageSize is 0.
PITrail Event (PPOP Component)
This event traces the commands sent to the mail server, and the respective replies.
Syntax
typedef struct { int Direction; String Message; } TipgPPOPPITrailEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPPOPPITrailEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPPOPPITrailEventParams *e); __property TipgPPOPPITrailEvent OnPITrail = { read=FOnPITrail, write=FOnPITrail };
Remarks
The PITrail event is useful for debugging purposes. It shows all of the interaction between the client and the server, line by line, except for message header and body transfers.
The Message parameter contains the full text of the message. The Direction parameter shows the originator of the message:
0 (Client) | The Message originates from the client. |
1 (Server) | The Message originates from the server. |
2 (Info) | The Message is an informative message originating from the client software (the component code). |
Progress Event (PPOP Component)
Fired as progress is made.
Syntax
typedef struct { __int64 BytesProcessed; int PercentProcessed; } TipgPPOPProgressEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPPOPProgressEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPPOPProgressEventParams *e); __property TipgPPOPProgressEvent OnProgress = { read=FOnProgress, write=FOnProgress };
Remarks
This event is fired automatically as data is processed by the component.
The PercentProcessed parameter indicates the current status of the operation.
The BytesProcessed parameter holds the total number of bytes processed so far.
RecipientInfo Event (PPOP Component)
Fired for each recipient key of the encrypted message.
Syntax
typedef struct { String KeyId; String Fingerprint; String PublicKeyAlgorithm; } TipgPPOPRecipientInfoEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPPOPRecipientInfoEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPPOPRecipientInfoEventParams *e); __property TipgPPOPRecipientInfoEvent OnRecipientInfo = { read=FOnRecipientInfo, write=FOnRecipientInfo };
Remarks
This event fires when the Decrypt or DecryptAndVerifySignature method is called.
KeyId is the hex-encoded 4- or 8-byte Id of the key used to encrypt the message. If a subkey was used to encrypt the message this will be the Id of that subkey. For OpenPGP v4 keys and earlier, the key Id corresponds to the last 4 or 8 bytes of the key's Fingerprint. For OpenPGP v6 keys, the key Id corresponds to the first 8 bytes of the key's Fingerprint instead. For instance:
5E70662EA810E768
Fingerprint holds the hex-encoded, 20-byte fingerprint of the key. This is in the form:
5E70662EA810E768391A2FE8F7B7D49C89C9D7B1
The KeyId and Fingerprint parameters can be used to identify the correct key to specify in the Key* properties. The Key* properties can be set from within this event as this event fires directly before the decryption process begins.
It is recommended to use the Fingerprint to identify the correct key, as it is possible for different keys to have the same KeyId.
PublicKeyAlgorithm is the algorithm of the public key used to encrypt the message. Possible values are:
- RSA
- DSA
- ECDSA
- EdDSA
- Ed25519
- Ed448
- RSA-Legacy
- ECDH (Subkeys only)
- X25519 (Subkeys only)
- X448 (Subkeys only)
SignatureInfo Event (PPOP Component)
Fired during verification of the signed message.
Syntax
typedef struct { String KeyId; String Fingerprint; String SigningAlgorithm; String PublicKeyAlgorithm; } TipgPPOPSignatureInfoEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPPOPSignatureInfoEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPPOPSignatureInfoEventParams *e); __property TipgPPOPSignatureInfoEvent OnSignatureInfo = { read=FOnSignatureInfo, write=FOnSignatureInfo };
Remarks
This event fires when the VerifySignature or DecryptAndVerifySignature method is called. It provides information about the signature of the message.
KeyId is the hex-encoded 4- or 8-byte Id of the key used to sign the message. If a subkey was used to sign the message this will be the Id of that subkey. For OpenPGP v4 keys and earlier, the key Id corresponds to the last 4 or 8 bytes of the key's Fingerprint. For OpenPGP v6 keys, the key Id corresponds to the first 8 bytes of the key's Fingerprint instead. For instance:
5E70662EA810E768
Fingerprint holds the hex-encoded, 20-byte fingerprint of the key. This is in the form:
5E70662EA810E768391A2FE8F7B7D49C89C9D7B1
The KeyId and Fingerprint parameters can be used to identify the correct key to specify in the SignerKey* properties. The SignerKey* properties can be set from within this event as this event fires directly before the verification process begins.
It is recommended to use the Fingerprint to identify the correct key, as it is possible for different keys to have the same KeyId.
SigningAlgorithm describes the hash algorithm used when the message was originally signed. This value is applicable only to the message signature, not the key used to sign the message. Possible values are:
- SHA1
- MD5
- SHA256
- SHA384
- SHA512
- SHA224
- RIPEMD160
- SHA3-256
- SHA3-512
PublicKeyAlgorithm is the algorithm of the public key used to sign the message. Possible values are:
- RSA
- DSA
- ECDSA
- EdDSA
- Ed25519
- Ed448
- RSA-Legacy
- ECDH (Subkeys only)
- X25519 (Subkeys only)
- X448 (Subkeys only)
SSLServerAuthentication Event (PPOP Component)
Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.
Syntax
typedef struct { String CertEncoded; DynamicArray<Byte> CertEncodedB; String CertSubject; String CertIssuer; String Status; bool Accept; } TipgPPOPSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPPOPSSLServerAuthenticationEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPPOPSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e); __property TipgPPOPSSLServerAuthenticationEvent OnSSLServerAuthentication = { read=FOnSSLServerAuthentication, write=FOnSSLServerAuthentication };
Remarks
During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.
When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.
SSLStatus Event (PPOP Component)
Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.
Syntax
typedef struct { String Message; } TipgPPOPSSLStatusEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPPOPSSLStatusEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPPOPSSLStatusEventParams *e); __property TipgPPOPSSLStatusEvent OnSSLStatus = { read=FOnSSLStatus, write=FOnSSLStatus };
Remarks
The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.
StartTransfer Event (PPOP Component)
This event is fired when the message starts transferring.
Syntax
typedef struct { int Direction; } TipgPPOPStartTransferEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPPOPStartTransferEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPPOPStartTransferEventParams *e); __property TipgPPOPStartTransferEvent OnStartTransfer = { read=FOnStartTransfer, write=FOnStartTransfer };
Remarks
The StartTransfer event is fired when the message body starts transferring from the server to the local host.
The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.
Status Event (PPOP Component)
Shows the progress of the operation.
Syntax
typedef struct { String Message; } TipgPPOPStatusEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPPOPStatusEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPPOPStatusEventParams *e); __property TipgPPOPStatusEvent OnStatus = { read=FOnStatus, write=FOnStatus };
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.
Transfer Event (PPOP Component)
This event is fired when the message is transferred from MailServer .
Syntax
typedef struct { int Direction; __int64 BytesTransferred; int PercentDone; String Text; DynamicArray<Byte> TextB; bool EOL; } TipgPPOPTransferEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPPOPTransferEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPPOPTransferEventParams *e); __property TipgPPOPTransferEvent OnTransfer = { read=FOnTransfer, write=FOnTransfer };
Remarks
The Text parameter contains the portion of the message data to be retrieved.
The BytesTransferred parameter contains the number of bytes transferred since the beginning of the message, including header bytes. At the end of transmission (i.e., when the last Transfer event is fired), BytesTransferred equals the value of the QueryMessageSize method.
The Transfer event is fired for every line of the message. For complete lines, there is no terminating newline at the end of the Text parameter, and EOL is True. The EOL parameter is False when a line is broken (usually for being too long).
A faster way to retrieve a message is to assign a value to the LocalFile property and use the Transfer event to check the progress rather than to get the actual data.
The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.
The PercentDone parameter shows the progress of the transfer in the corresponding direction. If PercentDone can not be calculated the value will be -1.
Note: Events are not re-entrant. Performing time-consuming operations within this event will prevent it from firing again in a timely manner and may affect overall performance.
Note: For the PercentDone parameter value to be correct, the GetMessageSize configuration setting must be set to True.
VerificationStatus Event (PPOP Component)
Fired after verification of the signed message.
Syntax
typedef struct { String KeyId; String Fingerprint; int Status; } TipgPPOPVerificationStatusEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipgPPOPVerificationStatusEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipgPPOPVerificationStatusEventParams *e); __property TipgPPOPVerificationStatusEvent OnVerificationStatus = { read=FOnVerificationStatus, write=FOnVerificationStatus };
Remarks
This event fires when VerifySignature or DecryptAndVerifySignature is called. It provides information about the result.
KeyId is the hex-encoded 4- or 8-byte Id of the key used to sign the message. For OpenPGP v4 keys and earlier, the key Id corresponds to the last 4 or 8 bytes of the key's Fingerprint. For OpenPGP v6 keys, the key Id corresponds to the first 8 bytes of the key's Fingerprint instead. For instance:
5E70662EA810E768
Fingerprint holds the hex-encoded, 20-byte fingerprint of the key. This is in the form:
5E70662EA810E768391A2FE8F7B7D49C89C9D7B1
Status holds the result of the operation. Possible values are:
0 | Verification succeeded |
1 | Verification failed |
2 | The required key could not be found |
3 | Verification succeeded but the key is expired. |
Config Settings (PPOP Component)
The component 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 component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.PPOP Config Settings
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. |
This config is True by default, and must be true when verifying an OpenPGP v6 cleartext signature. When enabled, the cleartext portion will be cached in memory until the signature is fully processed.
Note: If the signature is known to be an OpenPGP v4 cleartext signature beforehand (i.e., signed with a v4 key), this config may be set to False. However, if this config is disabled, the component will be unable to verify OpenPGP v6 cleartext signatures. In this case, the component will throw an exception when calling VerifySignature or DecryptAndVerifySignature.
This setting will be populated after calling Decrypt, VerifySignature, or DecryptAndVerifySignature.
POP Config Settings
TCPClient Config Settings
If the FirewallHost setting is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the FirewallHost setting is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.
Note: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This configuration setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
0 | No firewall (default setting). |
1 | Connect through a tunneling proxy. FirewallPort is set to 80. |
2 | Connect through a SOCKS4 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080. |
3 | Connect through a SOCKS5 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080. |
10 | Connect through a SOCKS4A Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080. |
Note: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This value is not applicable in macOS.
In the case that Linger is True (default), two scenarios determine how long the connection will linger. In the first, if LingerTime is 0 (default), the system will attempt to send pending data for a connection until the default IP timeout expires.
In the second scenario, if LingerTime is a positive value, the system will attempt to send pending data until the specified LingerTime is reached. If this attempt fails, then the system will reset the connection.
The default behavior (which is also the default mode for stream sockets) might result in a long delay in closing the connection. Although the component returns control immediately, the system could hold system resources until all pending data are sent (even after your application closes).
Setting this property to False forces an immediate disconnection. If you know that the other side has received all the data you sent (e.g., by a client acknowledgment), setting this property to False might be the appropriate course of action.
In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface), setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the component initiate connections (or accept in the case of server components) only through that interface.
If the component is connected, the LocalHost setting shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).
Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by LocalPort after the connection is established.
LocalPort cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this when a connection is active will generate an error.
This configuration setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port on the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems.
If an EOL string is found in the input stream before MaxLineLength bytes are received, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to True, and the buffer is reset.
If no EOL is found, and MaxLineLength bytes are accumulated in the buffer, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to False, and the buffer is reset.
The minimum value for MaxLineLength is 256 bytes. The default value is 2048 bytes.
www.google.com;www.nsoftware.com
Note: This value is not applicable in Java.
By default, this configuration setting is set to False.
0 | IPv4 only |
1 | IPv6 only |
2 | IPv6 with IPv4 fallback |
SSL Config Settings
When enabled, SSL packet logs are output using the SSLStatus event, which will fire each time an SSL packet is sent or received.
Enabling this configuration setting has no effect if SSLProvider is set to Platform.
The path set by this property should point to a directory containing CA certificates in PEM format. The files each contain one CA certificate. The files are looked up by the CA subject name hash value, which must hence be available. If more than one CA certificate with the same name hash value exist, the extension must be different (e.g., 9d66eef0.0, 9d66eef0.1). OpenSSL recommends the use of the c_rehash utility to create the necessary links. Please refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.
The file set by this property should contain a list of CA certificates in PEM format. The file can contain several CA certificates identified by the following sequences:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
... (CA certificate in base64 encoding) ...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
Before, between, and after the certificate text is allowed, which can be used, for example, for descriptions of the certificates. Refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.
The format of this string is described in the OpenSSL man page ciphers(1) section "CIPHER LIST FORMAT". Please refer to it for details. The default string "DEFAULT" is determined at compile time and is normally equivalent to "ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+SSLv2:@STRENGTH".
By default, OpenSSL uses the device file "/dev/urandom" to seed the PRNG, and setting OpenSSLPrngSeedData is not required. If set, the string specified is used to seed the PRNG.
If set to True, the component will reuse the context if and only if the following criteria are met:
- The target host name is the same.
- The system cache entry has not expired (default timeout is 10 hours).
- The application process that calls the function is the same.
- The logon session is the same.
- The instance of the component is the same.
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ...

When set to 0 (default), the CRL check will not be performed by the component. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the CRL check, but it will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support CRL. When set to 2, it will perform the CRL check and will throw an error if CRL is not supported.
This configuration setting is supported only in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is supported only on Windows operating systems.
When set to 0 (default), the component will not perform an OCSP check. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the OCSP check, but it will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support OCSP. When set to 2, it will perform the OCSP check and will throw an error if OCSP is not supported.
This configuration setting is supported only in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is supported only on Windows operating systems.
Note: This configuration setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library. The actual cipher strength used for the connection is shown by the SSLStatus event.
Use this configuration setting with caution. Requesting a lower cipher strength than necessary could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities in your application.
When the provider is OpenSSL, SSLCipherStrength is currently not supported. This functionality is instead made available through the OpenSSLCipherList configuration setting.
The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ... Intermediate Cert ... eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj -----END CERTIFICATE----- \r \n -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp ...

By default, the enabled cipher suites will include all available ciphers ("*").
The special value "*" means that the component will pick all of the supported cipher suites. If SSLEnabledCipherSuites is set to any other value, only the specified cipher suites will be considered.
Multiple cipher suites are separated by semicolons.
Example values when SSLProvider is set to Platform include the following:
obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=*");

When TLS 1.3 is negotiated (see SSLEnabledProtocols), only the following cipher suites are supported:
- TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
- TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
- TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with SSLCipherStrength.
Not all supported protocols are enabled by default. The default value is 4032 for client components, and 3072 for server components. To specify a combination of enabled protocol versions set this config to the binary OR of one or more of the following values:
TLS1.3 | 12288 (Hex 3000) |
TLS1.2 | 3072 (Hex C00) (Default - Client and Server) |
TLS1.1 | 768 (Hex 300) (Default - Client) |
TLS1 | 192 (Hex C0) (Default - Client) |
SSL3 | 48 (Hex 30) |
SSL2 | 12 (Hex 0C) |
Note that only TLS 1.2 is enabled for server components that accept incoming connections. This adheres to industry standards to ensure a secure connection. Client components enable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2 by default and will negotiate the highest mutually supported version when connecting to a server, which should be TLS 1.2 in most cases.
SSLEnabledProtocols: Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 Notes:
By default when TLS 1.3 is enabled, the component will use the internal TLS implementation when the SSLProvider is set to Automatic for all editions.
In editions that are designed to run on Windows, SSLProvider can be set to Platform to use the platform implementation instead of the internal implementation. When configured in this manner, please note that the platform provider is supported only on Windows 11/Windows Server 2022 and up. The default internal provider is available on all platforms and is not restricted to any specific OS version.
If set to 1 (Platform provider), please be aware of the following notes:
- The platform provider is available only on Windows 11/Windows Server 2022 and up.
- SSLEnabledCipherSuites and other similar SSL configuration settings are not supported.
- If SSLEnabledProtocols includes both TLS 1.3 and TLS 1.2, these restrictions are still applicable even if TLS 1.2 is negotiated. Enabling TLS 1.3 with the platform provider changes the implementation used for all TLS versions.
SSLEnabledProtocols: SSL2 and SSL3 Notes:
SSL 2.0 and 3.0 are not supported by the component when the SSLProvider is set to internal. To use SSL 2.0 or SSL 3.0, the platform security API must have the protocols enabled and SSLProvider needs to be set to platform.
This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider is set to Internal.
If set to True, all certificates returned by the server will be present in the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event. This includes the leaf certificate, any intermediate certificate, and the root certificate.
When set, the component will save the session secrets in the same format as the SSLKEYLOGFILE environment variable functionality used by most major browsers and tools, such as Chrome, Firefox, and cURL. This file can then be used in tools such as Wireshark to decrypt TLS traffic for debugging purposes. When writing to this file, the component will only append, it will not overwrite previous values.
Note: This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider is set to Internal.
Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipher[connId]");
Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipherStrength[connId]");
Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipherSuite[connId]");
Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedKeyExchange[connId]");
Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedKeyExchangeStrength[connId]");
Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedVersion[connId]");
0x00000001 | Ignore time validity status of certificate. |
0x00000002 | Ignore time validity status of CTL. |
0x00000004 | Ignore non-nested certificate times. |
0x00000010 | Allow unknown certificate authority. |
0x00000020 | Ignore wrong certificate usage. |
0x00000100 | Ignore unknown certificate revocation status. |
0x00000200 | Ignore unknown CTL signer revocation status. |
0x00000400 | Ignore unknown certificate authority revocation status. |
0x00000800 | Ignore unknown root revocation status. |
0x00008000 | Allow test root certificate. |
0x00004000 | Trust test root certificate. |
0x80000000 | Ignore non-matching CN (certificate CN non-matching server name). |
This functionality is currently not available when the provider is OpenSSL.
The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ... Intermediate Cert... eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj -----END CERTIFICATE----- \r \n -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp ... Root Cert... d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA -----END CERTIFICATE-----
When specified the component will verify that the server certificate signature algorithm is among the values specified in this configuration setting. If the server certificate signature algorithm is unsupported, the component raises an exception.
The format of this value is a comma-separated list of hash-signature combinations. For instance:
component.SSLProvider = TCPClientSSLProviders.sslpInternal;
component.Config("SSLEnabledProtocols=3072"); //TLS 1.2
component.Config("TLS12SignatureAlgorithms=sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa");
The default value for this configuration setting is sha512-ecdsa,sha512-rsa,sha512-dsa,sha384-ecdsa,sha384-rsa,sha384-dsa,sha256-ecdsa,sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha224-ecdsa,sha224-rsa,sha224-dsa,sha1-ecdsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa.
To not restrict the server's certificate signature algorithm, specify an empty string as the value for this configuration setting, which will cause the signature_algorithms TLS 1.2 extension to not be sent.
The default value is ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1.
When using TLS 1.2 and SSLProvider is set to Internal, the values refer to the supported groups for ECC. The following values are supported:
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1" (default)
The default value is set to balance common supported groups and the computational resources required to generate key shares. As a result, only some groups are included by default in this configuration setting.
Note: All supported groups can always be used during the handshake even if not listed here, but if a group is used that is not present in this list, it will incur an additional roundtrip and time to generate the key share for that group.
In most cases, this configuration setting does not need to be modified. This should be modified only if there is a specific reason to do so.
The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072
The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:
- "ecdhe_x25519" (default)
- "ecdhe_x448"
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1"

- "rsa_pss_sha256" (default)
- "rsa_pss_sha384" (default)
- "rsa_pss_sha512" (default)
The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_x448,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072,ffdhe_4096,ffdhe_6144,ffdhe_8192

Socket Config Settings
Note: This option is not valid for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the component is activated the InBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

FIPS mode can be enabled by setting the UseFIPSCompliantAPI configuration setting to true. This is a static setting that applies to all instances of all components of the toolkit within the process. It is recommended to enable or disable this setting once before the component has been used to establish a connection. Enabling FIPS while an instance of the component is active and connected may result in unexpected behavior.
For more details, please see the FIPS 140-2 Compliance article.
Note: This setting is applicable only on Windows.
Note: Enabling FIPS compliance requires a special license; please contact sales@nsoftware.com for details.
Setting this configuration setting to true tells the component to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.
This setting is set to false by default on all platforms.
