The HTTPClient component implements client-side functionality of HTTP and HTTPS protocols.

Syntax

nsoftware.SecureBlackbox.Httpclient

Remarks

HTTPClient provides means of exchanging HTTP messages with HTTP servers. Both plain (HTTP) and secure (HTTPS) connection types are supported.

Features supported

  • All standard request types (GET, POST, PUT etc.), plus custom VERBs
  • TLS 1.2 and 1.3 (and earlier versions for older servers)
  • Strong client and server authentication on TLS and HTTP levels
  • Flexible custom header adjustment
  • A variety of proxy server types

Configuring the component

HTTPClient is very easy to configure. In some cases, like in the example given below, you do not need any special tuneups whatsoever: client.Get("http://www.mywebserver.com/"); if (client.StatusCode == 200) { string response = client.OutputString; } You may need to adjust the component settings if you plan to connect to endpoints secured with TLS. By default, HTTPClient relies on the system settings when validating server certificates. If you would prefer to ignore the system trust and implement customized chain validation procedures - such as certificate pinning - in your code instead, set TLSSettings.AutoValidateCertificates to false, and subscribe to CertificateValidate event. This event will fire whenever a server certificate validation needs to be performed.

Use ClientChain collection to provide your certificates for client authentication. Make sure the provided certificate contains a private key; otherwise it will be unable to authenticate.

To provide custom HTTP headers, subscribe to HeadersPrepared event. HTTPClient fires this event right before sending the request out to the server, giving you an opportunity to alter the headers or add your own. The list of headers can be accessed via the RequestHeaders collection. Note: the headers can only be modified from the HeadersPrepared event handler. Setting them earlier or later in your code won't provide the expected effect.

Having set up the component, use the appropriate variant of the request method (such as: Get, GetBytes, or GetFile) to obtain the response in the desired format (string, memory buffer, or file).

Config Method (HTTPClient Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

public string Config(string configurationString);
Public Function Config(ByVal ConfigurationString As String) As String

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.

Delete Method (HTTPClient Component)

Sends a DELETE request to the server.

Syntax

public void Delete(string url);
Public Sub Delete(ByVal Url As String)

Remarks

When handling this event, assign the next portion of data of BytesNeeded length (or less) to DynamicData. If no more data is available to upload (the whole document has been sent), leave DynamicData empty.

Error Event (HTTPClient Component)

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

public event OnErrorHandler OnError;

public delegate void OnErrorHandler(object sender, HttpclientErrorEventArgs e);

public class HttpclientErrorEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public int ErrorCode { get; }
  public string Description { get; }
}
Public Event OnError As OnErrorHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnErrorHandler(sender As Object, e As HttpclientErrorEventArgs)

Public Class HttpclientErrorEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property ErrorCode As Integer
  Public ReadOnly Property Description As String
End Class

Remarks

The event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing.

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

ExternalSign Event (HTTPClient Component)

Handles remote or external signing initiated by the SignExternal method or other source.

Syntax

public event OnExternalSignHandler OnExternalSign;

public delegate void OnExternalSignHandler(object sender, HttpclientExternalSignEventArgs e);

public class HttpclientExternalSignEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public string OperationId { get; }
  public string HashAlgorithm { get; }
  public string Pars { get; }
  public string Data { get; }
  public string SignedData { get; set; }
}
Public Event OnExternalSign As OnExternalSignHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnExternalSignHandler(sender As Object, e As HttpclientExternalSignEventArgs)

Public Class HttpclientExternalSignEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property OperationId As String
  Public ReadOnly Property HashAlgorithm As String
  Public ReadOnly Property Pars As String
  Public ReadOnly Property Data As String
  Public Property SignedData As String
End Class

Remarks

Assign a handler to this event if you need to delegate a low-level signing operation to an external, remote, or custom signing engine. Depending on the settings, the handler will receive a hashed or unhashed value to be signed.

The event handler must pass the value of Data to the signer, obtain the signature, and pass it back to the component via SignedData parameter.

OperationId provides a comment about the operation and its origin. It depends on the exact component being used, and may be empty. HashAlgorithm specifies the hash algorithm being used for the operation, and Pars contain algorithm-dependent parameters.

The component uses base16 (hex) encoding for Data, SignedData, and Pars parameters. If your signing engine uses a different input and output encoding, you may need to decode and/or encode the data before and/or after the signing.

A sample MD5 hash encoded in base16: a0dee2a0382afbb09120ffa7ccd8a152 - lower case base16 A0DEE2A0382AFBB09120FFA7CCD8A152 - upper case base16

A sample event handler that uses a .NET RSACryptoServiceProvider class may look like the following: signer.OnExternalSign += (s, e) => { var cert = new X509Certificate2("cert.pfx", "", X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable); var key = (RSACryptoServiceProvider)cert.PrivateKey; var dataToSign = e.Data.FromBase16String(); var signedData = key.SignHash(dataToSign, "2.16.840.1.101.3.4.2.1"); e.SignedData = signedData.ToBase16String(); };

Public Class HttpclientRedirectionEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property OldURL As String
  Public Property NewURL As String
  Public Property AllowRedirection As Boolean
End Class

Remarks

This event is fired when the server suggests a redirection request (typically via a 301 or 302 response). OldURL indicates the 'from' page, and NewURL indicates the 'to' one. The destination page can be altered by the application if needed. Use AllowRedirection to block undesirable redirects.

Generally, this is a notification event: the component handles redirections automatically. Use the MaxRedirections config property to limit the number of redirection hops.

TLSCertNeeded Event (HTTPClient Component)

Fires when a remote TLS party requests a client certificate.

Syntax

public event OnTLSCertNeededHandler OnTLSCertNeeded;

public delegate void OnTLSCertNeededHandler(object sender, HttpclientTLSCertNeededEventArgs e);

public class HttpclientTLSCertNeededEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public string Host { get; }
  public string CANames { get; }
}
Public Event OnTLSCertNeeded As OnTLSCertNeededHandler

Public Class HttpclientTLSCertNeededEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property Host As String
  Public ReadOnly Property CANames As String
End Class

Remarks

This event fires to notify the implementation that a remote TLS server has requested a client certificate. The Host parameter identifies the host that makes a request, and the CANames (optional, according to the TLS spec) advises on the accepted issuing CAs.

Use the TLSClientChain property in response to this event to provide the requested certificate. Please make sure the client certificate includes the associated private key. Note that you may set the certificates before the connection without waiting for this event to fire.

This event is preceded by the TLSHandshake event for the given host and, if the certificate was accepted, succeeded by the TLSEstablished event.

TLSCertValidate Event (HTTPClient Component)

This event is fired upon receipt of the TLS server's certificate, allowing the user to control its acceptance.

Syntax

public event OnTLSCertValidateHandler OnTLSCertValidate;

public delegate void OnTLSCertValidateHandler(object sender, HttpclientTLSCertValidateEventArgs e);

public class HttpclientTLSCertValidateEventArgs : EventArgs {

}
Public Event OnTLSCertValidate As OnTLSCertValidateHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnTLSCertValidateHandler(sender As Object, e As HttpclientTLSCertValidateEventArgs)

Public Class HttpclientTLSCertValidateEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property ServerHost As String
  Public ReadOnly Property ServerIP As String
  Public Property Accept As Boolean
End Class

Remarks

This event is fired during a TLS handshake. Use TLSServerChain property to access the certificate chain. In general case, components may contact a number of TLS endpoints during their work, depending on their configuration.

Accept is assigned in accordance with the outcome of the internal validation check performed by the component, and can be adjusted if needed.

TLSEstablished Event (HTTPClient Component)

Fires when a TLS handshake with Host successfully completes.

Syntax

public event OnTLSEstablishedHandler OnTLSEstablished;

public delegate void OnTLSEstablishedHandler(object sender, HttpclientTLSEstablishedEventArgs e);

public class HttpclientTLSEstablishedEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public string Host { get; }
  public string Version { get; }
  public string Ciphersuite { get; }
  public byte[] ConnectionId { get; }
  public bool Abort { get; set; }
}
Public Event OnTLSEstablished As OnTLSEstablishedHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnTLSEstablishedHandler(sender As Object, e As HttpclientTLSEstablishedEventArgs)

Public Class HttpclientTLSEstablishedEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property Host As String
  Public ReadOnly Property Version As String
  Public ReadOnly Property Ciphersuite As String
  Public ReadOnly Property ConnectionId As Byte()
  Public Property Abort As Boolean
End Class

Remarks

The component uses this event to notify the application about successful completion of a TLS handshake.

The Version, Ciphersuite, and ConnectionId parameters indicate security parameters of the new connection. Use the Abort parameter if you need to terminate the connection at this stage.

TLSHandshake Event (HTTPClient Component)

Fires when a new TLS handshake is initiated, before the handshake commences.

Public Class HttpclientTLSHandshakeEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property Host As String
  Public Property Abort As Boolean
End Class

Remarks

The component uses this event to notify the application about the start of a new TLS handshake to Host. If the handshake is successful, this event will be followed with TLSEstablished event. If the server chooses to request a client certificate, TLSCertNeeded event will also be fired.

TLSPSK Event (HTTPClient Component)

Notifies the application about the PSK key exchange.

Syntax

public event OnTLSPSKHandler OnTLSPSK;

public delegate void OnTLSPSKHandler(object sender, HttpclientTLSPSKEventArgs e);

KeyID
string

Default Value: ""

The ID of the pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.

Asynchronous DCAuth-driven communication requires that parties authenticate each other with a secret pre-shared cryptographic key. This provides extra protection layer for the protocol and diminishes the risk of private key becoming abused by foreign parties. Use this property to provide the pre-shared key identifier, and use KeySecret to pass the key itself.

The same KeyID/KeySecret pair should be used on the DCAuth side for the signing requests to be accepted.

Note: The KeyID/KeySecret scheme is very similar to the AuthKey scheme used in various Cloud service providers to authenticate users.

Example: signer.ExternalCrypto.KeyID = "MainSigningKey"; signer.ExternalCrypto.KeySecret = "abcdef0123456789";

KeySecret
string

Default Value: ""

The pre-shared key used for DC request authentication. This key must be set and match the key used by the DCAuth counterpart for the scheme to work.

ECCurves
string

Default Value: ""

Defines the elliptic curves to enable.

Extensions
string

Default Value: ""

Provides access to TLS extensions.

ForceResumeIfDestinationChanges
bool

Default Value: False

Whether to force TLS session resumption when the destination address changes.

PreSharedIdentity
string

Default Value: ""

Defines the identity used when the PSK (Pre-Shared Key) key-exchange mechanism is negotiated.

PreSharedKey
string

Default Value: ""

Contains the pre-shared for the PSK (Pre-Shared Key) key-exchange mechanism, encoded with base16.

PreSharedKeyCiphersuite
string

Default Value: ""

Defines the ciphersuite used for PSK (Pre-Shared Key) negotiation.

RenegotiationAttackPreventionMode
RenegotiationAttackPreventionModes

Default Value: 0

Selects renegotiation attack prevention mechanism.

The following options are available:

crapmCompatible0TLS 1.0 and 1.1 compatibility mode (renegotiation indication extension is disabled).
crapmStrict1Renegotiation attack prevention is enabled and enforced.
crapmAuto2Automatically choose whether to enable or disable renegotiation attack prevention.

RevocationCheck
RevocationCheckKinds

Default Value: 1

Specifies the kind(s) of revocation check to perform.

Revocation checking is necessary to ensure the integrity of the chain and obtain up-to-date certificate validity and trustworthiness information.

crcNone0No revocation checking
crcAuto1Automatic mode selection. Currently this maps to crcAnyOCSPOrCRL, but it may change in the future.
crcAllCRL2Check all provided CRL endpoints for all chain certificates.
crcAllOCSP3Check all provided OCSP endpoints for all chain certificates.
crcAllCRLAndOCSP4Check all CRL and OCSP endpoints for all chain certificates.
crcAnyCRL5At least one CRL check for every certificate in the chain must succeed.
crcAnyOCSP6At least one OCSP check for every certificate in the chain must succeed.
crcAnyCRLOrOCSP7At least one CRL or OCSP check for every certificate in the chain must succeed. CRL endpoints are checked first.
crcAnyOCSPOrCRL8At least one CRL or OCSP check for every certificate in the chain must succeed. OCSP endpoints are checked first.

This setting controls the way the revocation checks are performed. Typically certificates come with two types of revocation information sources: CRL (certificate revocation lists) and OCSP responders. CRLs are static objects periodically published by the CA at some online location. OCSP responders are active online services maintained by the CA that can provide up-to-date information on certificate statuses in near real time.

There are some conceptual differences between the two. CRLs are normally larger in size. Their use involves some latency because there is normally some delay between the time when a certificate was revoked and the time the subsequent CRL mentioning that is published. The benefits of CRL is that the same object can provide statuses for all certificates issued by a particular CA, and that the whole technology is much simpler than OCSP (and thus is supported by more CAs).

This setting lets you adjust the validation course by including or excluding certain types of revocation sources from the validation process. The crcAnyOCSPOrCRL setting (give preference to faster OCSP route and only demand one source to succeed) is a good choice for most of typical validation environments. The "crcAll*" modes are much stricter, and may be used in scenarios where bulletproof validity information is essential.

Config Settings (HTTPClient 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.

HTTPClient Config Settings

CacheStreamOutput:   Tells the component whether to cache stream- and file-bound responses in the component.

Set this property to true to enable caching of potentially long responses obtained with GetFile and GetStream methods. If the response is cached, it will be available via OutputBytes and OutputString properties after the request is completed, but may occupy extra memory resources.

ForceNTLMAuth:   Activates and enforces NTLM authentication.

Set this property to True to force NTLM (Windows Integrated) authentication.

IgnoreSystemTrust:   Whether trusted Windows Certificate Stores should be treated as trusted.

Specifies whether, during chain validation, the component should respect the trust to CA certificates as configured in the operating system. In Windows this effectively defines whether the component should trust the certificates residing in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store.

If IgnoreSystemTrust is True, certificates residing in the trusted root store are treated as if they are known, rather than trusted. Only certificates provided via other means (such as TrustedCertificates property) are considered trusted.

IgnoreUnknownTransferEncodings:   All incoming responses with unknown transfer encodings are ignored if this property is true.

All incoming responses with unknown transfer encodings are ignored if this property is true.

MaxRedirections:   The maximum number of HTTP redirects.

Specifies the maximum number of HTTP redirects. Value 0 prevents any redirections, and -1 allows unlimited redirections.

PersistentAuthHeader:   Whether to resend NTLM negotiation on every request.

Specifies whether to resend NTLM negotiation on every request.

RequestCompressionGZip:   Ask server to use GZip compression.

Ask server to use GZip compression.

RequestCompressionLevel:   Ask server to use the specified compression level.

Ask server to use the specified compression level.

SendBufferSize:   Size of send buffer in bytes.

The size of blocks used to send data to the server.

SuppressRedirectionContent:   Whether to suppress the redirection content.

If this property is set to True, the redirection content will be silently suppressed by the component. Otherwise the message containing a redirection code will be processed as usual, the Redirection event will be fired, and the data will be written to OutputString or OutputBytes.

TempPath:   Path for storing temporary files.

This setting specifies an absolute path to the location on disk where temporary files are stored.

TolerateMinorChainIssues:   Whether to tolerate minor chain issues.

This parameter controls whether the chain validator should tolerate minor technical issues when validating the chain. Those are:

  • CA, revocation source, TLS key usage requirements are not mandated
  • Violation of OCSP issuer requirements are ignored
  • AuthorityKeyID extension in CRL and certificate issuing CAs are ignored (helps with incorrectly renewed certificates)
  • Basic constraints and name constraints of CA certificates are ignored
  • Some weaker algorithms are tolerated
Use100Continue:   Whether to use 100-continue for POST and PUT commands.

Set this property to True to use the 100-continue approach for POST and PUT commands. In this approach, prior to sending the request body, the client sends a request message asking the server whether it is willing to accept the request body. The request body is sent only if the server accepts it.

UseCompression:   Whether to use GZip compression.

Use this property to tell the server that it can transfer GZIPped data (if the server supports it).

UseMicrosoftCTL:   Enables or disables automatic use of Microsoft online certificate trust list.

Enable this property to make the chain validation module automatically look up missing CA certificates in the public Windows Update repository.

UseSystemCertificates:   Enables or disables the use of the system certificates.

Use this property to tell chain validation module automatically look up missing CA certificates in the system certificates. In many cases it is beneficial to switch this property on, as the operating system certificate configuration provides a representative trust framework.

Base Config Settings

CheckKeyIntegrityBeforeUse:   Enables or disable private key integrity check before use.

This global property enables or disables private key material check before each signing operation. This slows down performance a bit, but prevents a selection of attacks on RSA keys where keys with unknown origins are used.

You can switch this property off to improve performance if your project only uses known, good private keys.

CookieCaching:   Specifies whether a cookie cache should be used for HTTP(S) transports.

Set this property to enable or disable cookies caching for the component.

Supported values are:

offNo caching (default)
localLocal caching
globalGlobal caching

Cookies:   Gets or sets local cookies for the component.

Use this property to get cookies from the internal cookie storage of the component and/or restore them back between application sessions.

DefDeriveKeyIterations:   Specifies the default key derivation algorithm iteration count.

This global property sets the default number of iterations for all supported key derivation algorithms. Note that you can provide the required number of iterations by using properties of the relevant key generation component; this global setting is used in scenarios where specific iteration count is not or cannot be provided.

EnableClientSideSSLFFDHE:   Enables or disables finite field DHE key exchange support in TLS clients.

This global property enables or disables support for finite field DHE key exchange methods in TLS clients. FF DHE is a slower algorithm if compared to EC DHE; enabling it may result in slower connections.

This setting only applies to sessions negotiated with TLS version 1.3.

GlobalCookies:   Gets or sets global cookies for all the HTTP transports.

Use this property to get cookies from the GLOBAL cookie storage or restore them back between application sessions. These cookies will be used by all the components that have its CookieCaching property set to "global".

HttpUserAgent:   Specifies the user agent name to be used by all HTTP clients.

This global setting defines the User-Agent field of the HTTP request provides information about the software that initiates the request. This value will be used by all the HTTP clients including the ones used internally in other components.

LogDestination:   Specifies the debug log destination.

Contains a comma-separated list of values that specifies where debug log should be dumped.

Supported values are:

fileFile
consoleConsole
systemlogSystem Log (supported for Android only)

LogDetails:   Specifies the debug log details to dump.

Contains a comma-separated list of values that specifies which debug log details to dump.

Supported values are:

timeCurrent time
levelLevel
packagePackage name
moduleModule name

allAll details

LogFile:   Specifies the debug log filename.

Use this property to provide a path to the log file.

LogFilters:   Specifies the debug log filters.

Contains a comma-separated list of value pairs ("name:value") that describe filters.

Supported filter names are:

exclude-packageExclude a package specified in the value
exclude-moduleExclude a module specified in the value
exclude-classExclude a class specified in the value
exclude-methodExclude a method specified in the value
include-packageInclude a package specified in the value
include-moduleInclude a module specified in the value
include-classInclude a class specified in the value
include-methodInclude a method specified in the value

LogFlushMode:   Specifies the log flush mode.

Use this property to set the log flush mode. The following values are defined:

noneNo flush (caching only)
immediateImmediate flush (real-time logging)
maxcountFlush cached entries upon reaching LogMaxEventCount entries in the cache.

LogLevel:   Specifies the debug log level.

Use this property to provide the desired debug log level.

Supported values are:

noneNone (by default)
fatalSevere errors that cause premature termination.
errorOther runtime errors or unexpected conditions.
warningUse of deprecated APIs, poor use of API, 'almost' errors, other runtime situations that are undesirable or unexpected, but not necessarily "wrong".
infoInteresting runtime events (startup/shutdown).
debugDetailed information on flow of through the system.
traceMore detailed information.

LogMaxEventCount:   Specifies the maximum number of events to cache before further action is taken.

Use this property to specify the log event number threshold. This threshold may have different effects, depending on the rotation setting and/or the flush mode.

The default value of this setting is 100.

LogRotationMode:   Specifies the log rotation mode.

Use this property to set the log rotation mode. The following values are defined:

noneNo rotation
deleteolderDelete older entries from the cache upon reaching LogMaxEventCount
keepolderKeep older entries in the cache upon reaching LogMaxEventCount (newer entries are discarded)

MaxASN1BufferLength:   Specifies the maximal allowed length for ASN.1 primitive tag data.

This global property limits the maximal allowed length for ASN.1 tag data for non-content-carrying structures, such as certificates, CRLs, or timestamps. It does not affect structures that can carry content, such as CMS/CAdES messages. This is a security property aiming at preventing DoS attacks.

MaxASN1TreeDepth:   Specifies the maximal depth for processed ASN.1 trees.

This global property limits the maximal depth of ASN.1 trees that the component can handle without throwing an error. This is a security property aiming at preventing DoS attacks.

OCSPHashAlgorithm:   Specifies the hash algorithm to be used to identify certificates in OCSP requests.

This global setting defines the hash algorithm to use in OCSP requests during chain validation. Some OCSP responders can only use older algorithms, in which case setting this property to SHA1 may be helpful.

StaticDNS:   Specifies whether static DNS rules should be used.

Set this property to enable or disable static DNS rules for the component. Works only if UseOwnDNSResolver is set to true.

Supported values are:

noneNo static DNS rules (default)
localLocal static DNS rules
globalGlobal static DNS rules

StaticIPAddress[domain]:   Gets or sets an IP address for the specified domain name.

Use this property to get or set an IP address for the specified domain name in the internal (of the component) or global DNS rules storage depending on the StaticDNS value. The type of the IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) is determined automatically. If both addresses are available, they are devided by the | (pipe) character.

StaticIPAddresses:   Gets or sets all the static DNS rules.

Use this property to get static DNS rules from the current rules storage or restore them back between application sessions. If StaticDNS of the component is set to "local", the property returns/restores the rules from/to the internal storage of the component. If StaticDNS of the component 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 chached 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 components.

TLSSessionLifetime:   Specifies lifetime in seconds of the cached TLS session.

Use this property to specify how much time the TLS session should be kept in the session cache. After this time, the session expires and will be automatically removed from the cache. Default value is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

TLSSessionPurgeInterval:   Specifies how often the session cache should remove the expired TLS sessions.

Use this property to specify the time interval of purging the expired TLS sessions from the session cache. Default value is 60 seconds (1 minute).

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.

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.
