The JAdESVerifier component verifies signatures over JSON objects.

Syntax

nsoftware.SecureBlackbox.Jadesverifier

Remarks

Use JAdESVerifier to validate electronic signatures over JSON structures. Generic (JWS) and JAdES (JSON Advanced Electronic Signatures) are supported.

JAdESVerifier validates each signature from two perspectives: the integrity and validity of the signature itself (i.e. its correspondence to the JSON data it covers), and the validity and trustworthiness of the signing certificate chain. These two signature aspects are generally independent of each other: the signature may be valid but the chain may not be trusted, or, the other way round, the chain may be trusted, but the integrity of the signature may be violated. Under normal circumstances both the signature and the chain must be valid for the signature to be considered good.

To initiate the validation, assign the path to the signed JSON file to the InputFile property (alternatively, you can provide it in a memory buffer via InputBytes or InputString property), and call Verify method. For every signature located in the document, JAdESVerifier will fire the SignatureFound event. This event lets you specify whether you want JAdESVerifier to validate the signature, the chain, or both.

Note: it does not mean that any of the two is optional. This API lets you be flexible in how you validate documents in your code, to allow for a variety of validation scenarios. For example, if your trust environment relies on certificate pinning, validating the chain by JAdESVerifier internally may cause unnecessary burden on the system, in which case (but not in others!) it may be reasonable to disable it in the event handler.

Once SignatureFound returns, JAdESVerifier proceeds to the signature validation routine in accordance with the provided settings. Upon completion of the validation, SignatureValidated event is fired, and the validation results are separately provided via SignatureValidationResult and ChainValidationResult properties of the relevant signature object. Other information about the signature can be accessed via the Signatures property.

Useful settings and properties

The following properties of JAdESVerifier may be handy when working with this component:

• OfflineMode lets you validate the JSON object without contacting online revocation sources. Paired with switched off system trust settings, it can be used to establish the long-term validity of the signed object and the completeness of validation material included in it.
• RevocationCheck lets you adjust the revocation checking preferences.
• ValidatedSigningTime returns the signing time as recorded in the embedded signature timestamp. This is in contrast to ClaimedSigningTime, which returns the signing time as specified by the signer.
• ValidationLog is a great way to find out the details of chain validation failures. This property returns a comprehensive validation log that reports all the issues encountered during the validation.

By default, JAdESVerifier uses the system trust settings to establish certificate chain validity. You can configure it to use your own, custom validation environment by providing the necessary trust elements via KnownCertificates, TrustedCertificates, KnownCRLs, and other similar properties.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public CertificateList BlockedCertificates { get; }

Public Property BlockedCertificates As CertificateList

Remarks

Use this property to provide a list of compromised or blocked certificates. Any chain containing a blocked certificate will fail validation.

This property is not available at design time.

Certificates Property (JAdESVerifier Component)

A collection of certificates included in the electronic signature.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public CertificateList Certificates { get; }

Public ReadOnly Property Certificates As CertificateList

Remarks

Use this property to access all certificates included into the signature(s) by its creator.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Specifies if the JWS compact serialization to be used.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public bool CompactForm { get; set; }

Public Property CompactForm As Boolean

Default Value

False

Remarks

When this property is set to "true" value, the JAdES component will use the JWS compact serialization format when saving a signature.

The JWS compact serialization format is a compact, Url safe representation of a JWS (JSON Web Signature) or JWE (JSON Web Encryption) object, used for transmitting security tokens.

The JWS compact serialization format supports only one signature without unprotected header (only JWS or JAdES BaselineB signature).

ContentType Property (JAdESVerifier Component)

Specifies payload content type.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string ContentType { get; }

Public ReadOnly Property ContentType As String

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public bool Detached { get; set; }

Public Property Detached As Boolean

Default Value

False

Remarks

Use this property to specify whether a detached signature should be produced or verified.

When this property is set to "true" value, the JWS payload will be detached from the signature and may either be a single detached object or the result of concatenating multiple detached data objects. In other words, the JWS payload and the signature are stored in separate objects.

If this property is set to "true" value, the user must provide the detached content via the DataFile or DataStream or DataBytes or DataString properties.

When Detached is set to "false" value, the JWS payload is included with the signature as a single object.

ExtractPayload Property (JAdESVerifier Component)

Specifies whether a payload should be extracted.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public bool ExtractPayload { get; set; }

Public Property ExtractPayload As Boolean

Default Value

False

Remarks

Use this property to specify whether a payload should be extracted when signature loaded. This applies only to non-detached signatures with a payload.

When this property is set to "true" value, the JWS payload will be extracted from the signature.

The user must provide the OutputFile or OutputStream properties with a filename or stream where to save the payload, if none is provided then payload is returned via OutputBytes or OutputString properties.

FIPSMode Property (JAdESVerifier Component)

Reserved.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

Specifies if the flattened signature to be used.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public bool FlattenedSignature { get; set; }

Public Property FlattenedSignature As Boolean

Default Value

True

Remarks

This property determines whether to use the flattened JWS JSON serialization format. This format is optimized for the single digital signature case and flattens the general JWS JSON serialization syntax by removing the "signatures" member and instead placing the "protected", "header", and "signature" members at the top-level JSON object (at the same level as the "payload" member).

When the FlattenedSignature property is set to "true" value, the signature will be represented using the flattened JWS JSON serialization format, but it is only applicable when there is a single signature involved.

When the property is set to "false" value, the signature will be represented using the general JWS JSON serialization format.

IgnoreChainValidationErrors Property (JAdESVerifier Component)

Makes the component tolerant to chain validation errors.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public bool IgnoreChainValidationErrors { get; set; }

Public Property IgnoreChainValidationErrors As Boolean

Default Value

False

Remarks

If this property is set to True, any errors emerging during certificate chain validation will be ignored. This setting may be handy if the purpose of validation is the creation of an LTV signature, and the validation is performed in an environment that doesn't trust the signer's certificate chain.

InputBytes Property (JAdESVerifier Component)

Use this property to pass the input to component in byte array form.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public byte[] InputBytes { get; set; }

Public Property InputBytes As Byte()

This property is not available at design time.

InputString Property (JAdESVerifier Component)

Use this property to pass the input to component in the string form.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string InputString { get; set; }

Public Property InputString As String

Default Value

""

Remarks

Assign a string containing the data to be processed to this property.

This property is not available at design time.

KnownCertificates Property (JAdESVerifier Component)

Additional certificates for chain validation.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public CertificateList KnownCertificates { get; }

Public Property KnownCertificates As CertificateList

Remarks

Use this property to supply a list of additional certificates that might be needed for chain validation. An example of a scenario where you might want to do that is when intermediary CA certificates are absent from the standard system locations (or when there are no standard system locations), and therefore should be supplied to the component manually.

The purpose of the certificates to be added to this collection is roughly equivalent to that of the Intermediate Certification Authorities system store in Windows.

Do not add trust anchors or root certificates to this collection: add them to TrustedCertificates instead.

This property is not available at design time.

KnownCRLs Property (JAdESVerifier Component)

Additional CRLs for chain validation.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public CRLList KnownCRLs { get; }

Public Property KnownCRLs As CRLList

Remarks

Use this property to supply additional CRLs that might be needed for chain validation. This property may be helpful when a chain is validated in offline mode, and the associated CRLs are stored separately from the signed message or document.

This property is not available at design time.

KnownOCSPs Property (JAdESVerifier Component)

Additional OCSP responses for chain validation.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public OCSPResponseList KnownOCSPs { get; }

• VB.NET

public bool OfflineMode { get; set; }

Public Property OfflineMode As Boolean

Default Value

False

Remarks

When working in offline mode, the component restricts itself from using any online revocation information sources, such as CRL or OCSP responders.

Offline mode may be useful if there is a need to verify the completeness of the validation information included within the signature or provided via KnownCertificates, KnownCRLs, and other related properties.

OutputBytes Property (JAdESVerifier Component)

Use this property to read the output the component object has produced.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public byte[] OutputBytes { get; }

Public ReadOnly Property OutputBytes As Byte()

Remarks

Read the contents of this property after the operation has completed to read the produced output. This property will only be set if the OutputFile and OutputStream properties had not been assigned.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

OutputFile Property (JAdESVerifier Component)

Defines where to save the signature.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Profile Property (JAdESVerifier Component)

Specifies a pre-defined profile to apply when creating the signature.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string Profile { get; set; }

Public Property Profile As String

Default Value

""

Remarks

Advanced signatures come in many variants, which are often defined by parties that needs to process them or by local standards. SecureBlackbox profiles are sets of pre-defined configurations which correspond to particular signature variants. By specifying a profile, you are pre-configuring the component to make it produce the signature that matches the configuration corresponding to that profile.

Proxy Property (JAdESVerifier Component)

The proxy server settings.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public ProxySettings Proxy { get; }

Public ReadOnly Property Proxy As ProxySettings

  crcAnyCRL,
  crcAnyOCSP,
  crcAnyCRLOrOCSP,
  crcAnyOCSPOrCRL
}

Public Property RevocationCheck As JadesverifierRevocationChecks

Enum JadesverifierRevocationChecks
  crcNone
  crcAuto
  crcAllCRL
  crcAllOCSP
  crcAllCRLAndOCSP
  crcAnyCRL
  crcAnyOCSP
  crcAnyCRLOrOCSP
  crcAnyOCSPOrCRL
End Enum

Default Value

1

Remarks

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

Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) and Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responses serve the same purpose of ensuring that the certificate had not been revoked by the Certificate Authority (CA) at the time of use. Depending on your circumstances and security policy requirements, you may want to use either one or both of the revocation information source types.

This setting controls the way the revocation checks are performed for every certificate in the chain. 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 the faster OCSP route and only demand one source to succeed) is a good choice for most typical validation environments. The "crcAll*" modes are much stricter, and may be used in scenarios where bulletproof validity information is essential.

Note: If no CRL or OCSP endpoints are provided by the CA, the revocation check will be considered successful. This is because the CA chose not to supply revocation information for its certificates, meaning they are considered irrevocable.

Note: Within each of the above settings, if any retrieved CRL or OCSP response indicates that the certificate has been revoked, the revocation check fails.

Signatures Property (JAdESVerifier Component)

Provides details of all signatures found in the JWS/JAdES signature.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public JAdESSignatureList Signatures { get; }

Public ReadOnly Property Signatures As JAdESSignatureList

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

TLSClientChain Property (JAdESVerifier Component)

The TLS client certificate chain.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public CertificateList TLSClientChain { get; }

Public Property TLSClientChain As CertificateList

Remarks

Assign a certificate chain to this property to enable TLS client authentication in the component. Note that the client's end-entity certificate should have a private key associated with it.

Use the CertificateStorage or CertificateManager components to import the certificate from a file, system store, or PKCS11 device.

This property is not available at design time.

TLSServerChain Property (JAdESVerifier Component)

The TLS server's certificate chain.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

TLSSettings Property (JAdESVerifier Component)

Manages TLS layer settings.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public TLSSettings TLSSettings { get; }

Public ReadOnly Property TLSSettings As TLSSettings

Remarks

Use this property to tune up the TLS layer parameters.

This property is read-only.

TrustedCertificates Property (JAdESVerifier Component)

A list of trusted certificates for chain validation.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public CertificateList TrustedCertificates { get; }

Public Property TrustedCertificates As CertificateList

Remarks

Use this property to supply a list of trusted certificates that might be needed for chain validation. An example of a scenario where you might want to do that is when root CA certificates are absent from the standard system locations (or when there are no standard system locations), and therefore should be supplied to the component manually.

The purpose of this certificate collection is largely the same as that of the Windows Trusted Root Certification Authorities system store.

Use this property with extreme care as it directly affects chain verifiability; a wrong certificate added to the trusted list may result in bad chains being accepted, and forfeited signatures being recognized as genuine. Only add certificates that originate from the parties that you know and trust.

This property is not available at design time.

ValidationMoment Property (JAdESVerifier Component)

The time point at which signature validity is to be established.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string ValidationMoment { get; set; }

Public Property ValidationMoment As String

Default Value

""

Remarks

Use this property to specify the moment in time at which signature validity should be established. The time is in UTC. Leave the setting empty to stick to the default moment (either the signature creation time or the current time).

The validity of the same signature may differ depending on the time point chosen due to temporal changes in chain validities, revocation statuses, and timestamp times.

Close Method (JAdESVerifier Component)

Closes an opened JWS/JAdES signature.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void Close(bool saveChanges);

Public Sub Close(ByVal SaveChanges As Boolean)

Remarks

Config Method (JAdESVerifier Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

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.

DoAction Method (JAdESVerifier Component)

Performs an additional action.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string DoAction(string actionID, string actionParams);

Public Function DoAction(ByVal ActionID As String, ByVal ActionParams As String) As String
