Decrypts and verifies a protected message.
Syntax
public void DecryptAndVerify();
Public Sub DecryptAndVerify()
Remarks
Use this method to unprotect a PGP message contained in a byte array (InputBytes), in a file (InputFile) or in a stream (InputStream). The method writes the decrypted message to a byte array (OutputBytes), to a file (OutputFile) or to a stream (OutputStream).
DoAction Method (PGPReader Component)
Performs an additional action.
Syntax
Remarks
DoAction is a generic method available in every component. It is used to perform an additional action introduced after the product major release. The list of actions is not fixed, and may be flexibly extended over time.
The unique identifier (case insensitive) of the action is provided in the ActionID parameter.
ActionParams contains the value of a single parameter, or a list of multiple parameters for the action in the form of PARAM1=VALUE1;PARAM2=VALUE2;....
VerifyDetached Method (PGPReader Component)

EncryptionInfo Event (PGPReader Component)
Reports early information on encryption parameters.
Syntax
public event OnEncryptionInfoHandler OnEncryptionInfo; public delegate void OnEncryptionInfoHandler(object sender, PgpreaderEncryptionInfoEventArgs e); public class PgpreaderEncryptionInfoEventArgs : EventArgs { public string KeyIDs { get; } public bool IntegrityProtected { get; } public bool PassphraseUsed { get; } }
Public Event OnEncryptionInfo As OnEncryptionInfoHandler Public Delegate Sub OnEncryptionInfoHandler(sender As Object, e As PgpreaderEncryptionInfoEventArgs) Public Class PgpreaderEncryptionInfoEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public ReadOnly Property KeyIDs As String Public ReadOnly Property IntegrityProtected As Boolean Public ReadOnly Property PassphraseUsed As Boolean End Class
Remarks
The component fires this event to report early encryption information. Use this event to find out what encryption type is used, and to provide appropriate decryption material (the secret keys or the password) via DecryptingKeys or Passphrase properties.
KeyIDs contains the IDs of the keys that can be used to decrypt the data. PassphraseUsed shows if the message can also be decrypted with a passphrase. Both can be set at the same time, indicating that each of the decryption routes can be taken.
IntegrityProtected parameter specifies whether the message includes a modification detection record.
Error Event (PGPReader Component)
Information about errors during PGP decryption/verification.
Syntax
public event OnErrorHandler OnError; public delegate void OnErrorHandler(object sender, PgpreaderErrorEventArgs e); public class PgpreaderErrorEventArgs : EventArgs { public int ErrorCode { get; } public string Description { get; } }
Public Event OnError As OnErrorHandler Public Delegate Sub OnErrorHandler(sender As Object, e As PgpreaderErrorEventArgs) Public Class PgpreaderErrorEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public ReadOnly Property ErrorCode As Integer Public ReadOnly Property Description As String End Class

Public Event OnExternalDecrypt As OnExternalDecryptHandler Public Delegate Sub OnExternalDecryptHandler(sender As Object, e As PgpreaderExternalDecryptEventArgs) Public Class PgpreaderExternalDecryptEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public ReadOnly Property OperationId As String Public ReadOnly Property Algorithm As String Public ReadOnly Property Pars As String Public ReadOnly Property EncryptedData As String Public Property Data As String End Class
Remarks
Assign a handler to this event if you need to delegate a low-level decryption operation to an external, remote, or custom decryption engine. The handler receives an encrypted value in the EncryptedData parameter, and is expected to decrypt it and place the decrypted value into the Data parameter.
OperationId provides a comment about the operation and its origin. It depends on the exact component being used, and may be empty. Algorithm specifies the encryption algorithm being used, and Pars contains algorithm-dependent parameters.
The component uses base16 (hex) encoding for the EncryptedData, Data, and Pars parameters. If your decryption engine uses a different input and output encoding, you may need to decode and/or encode the data before and/or after the decryption.
Sample data encoded in base16: a0dee2a0382afbb09120ffa7ccd8a152 - lower case base16 A0DEE2A0382AFBB09120FFA7CCD8A152 - upper case base16
FileExtractionFinish Event (PGPReader Component)
Reports the ending of file extraction process.
Syntax
public event OnFileExtractionFinishHandler OnFileExtractionFinish; public delegate void OnFileExtractionFinishHandler(object sender, PgpreaderFileExtractionFinishEventArgs e); public class PgpreaderFileExtractionFinishEventArgs : EventArgs { public string Filename { get; } public string Timestamp { get; } }
Public Event OnFileExtractionFinish As OnFileExtractionFinishHandler Public Delegate Sub OnFileExtractionFinishHandler(sender As Object, e As PgpreaderFileExtractionFinishEventArgs) Public Class PgpreaderFileExtractionFinishEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public ReadOnly Property Filename As String Public ReadOnly Property Timestamp As String End Class
Remarks
This event informs about the ending of extraction of the next available file. Filename parameter indicates the original file name, and the Timestamp its last modification time.
In the handler, the user can take away the output stream or store the file data from OutputBytes.
FileExtractionStart Event (PGPReader Component)
Reports the beginning of file extraction process.
Syntax
public event OnFileExtractionStartHandler OnFileExtractionStart; public delegate void OnFileExtractionStartHandler(object sender, PgpreaderFileExtractionStartEventArgs e); public class PgpreaderFileExtractionStartEventArgs : EventArgs { public string Filename { get; } public string Timestamp { get; } public bool Skip { get; set; } }

Remarks
This event informs about the beginning of extraction of the next available file. A PGP message may contain more than one file. Filename parameter indicates the original file name, and the Timestamp its last modification time.
The user should provide an output filename in OutputFile or a stream in OutputStream. If none of them is provided, the extracted file will be placed to OutputBytes. After the file is extracted, FileExtractionFinish event is fired.
KeyPassphraseNeeded Event (PGPReader Component)
Requests a key protection password from the application.
Syntax
public event OnKeyPassphraseNeededHandler OnKeyPassphraseNeeded; public delegate void OnKeyPassphraseNeededHandler(object sender, PgpreaderKeyPassphraseNeededEventArgs e); public class PgpreaderKeyPassphraseNeededEventArgs : EventArgs { public string KeyID { get; } public string UserID { get; } public bool MainKey { get; } public string Passphrase { get; set; } public bool Skip { get; set; } }
Public Event OnKeyPassphraseNeeded As OnKeyPassphraseNeededHandler Public Delegate Sub OnKeyPassphraseNeededHandler(sender As Object, e As PgpreaderKeyPassphraseNeededEventArgs) Public Class PgpreaderKeyPassphraseNeededEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public ReadOnly Property KeyID As String Public ReadOnly Property UserID As String Public ReadOnly Property MainKey As Boolean Public Property Passphrase As String Public Property Skip As Boolean End Class
Remarks
The component fires this event to request a secret key passphrase from the application. Note that this event asks for a key protection passphrase rather than a message protection passphrase (which is requested via PassphraseNeeded). The component fires it when it has found a suitable decryption secret key in the keyring, and attempts to use it to decrypt the data.
If the data is encrypted with multiple keys, this event is called for each key in a loop until the password for at least one key is provided correctly. KeyID specifies the key for which the password is requested, and UserID identifies its user. MainKey tells whether the key is a master key or a subkey.
The handler should provide password via the Passphrase parameter, or set Skip to True to skip this key.
For each key KeyPassphraseNeeded is called in a loop until the correct password is provided or the maximum number of password attempts reached.
MultipleFilesFound Event (PGPReader Component)
Fires if the PGP message is recognized to contain multiple files.
Syntax
public event OnMultipleFilesFoundHandler OnMultipleFilesFound; public delegate void OnMultipleFilesFoundHandler(object sender, PgpreaderMultipleFilesFoundEventArgs e); public class PgpreaderMultipleFilesFoundEventArgs : EventArgs { public string TarFilename { get; } public bool Proceed { get; set; } }

Remarks
The component fires this event to report that there is more than one file in the PGP message.
The TarFilename specifies the name of the TAR file containing the files. Tune up Proceed to go ahead or stop the processing.
Notification Event (PGPReader Component)
This event notifies the application about an underlying control flow event.
Syntax
public event OnNotificationHandler OnNotification; public delegate void OnNotificationHandler(object sender, PgpreaderNotificationEventArgs e); public class PgpreaderNotificationEventArgs : EventArgs { public string EventID { get; } public string EventParam { get; } }
Public Event OnNotification As OnNotificationHandler Public Delegate Sub OnNotificationHandler(sender As Object, e As PgpreaderNotificationEventArgs) Public Class PgpreaderNotificationEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public ReadOnly Property EventID As String Public ReadOnly Property EventParam As String End Class
Remarks
The component fires this event to let the application know about some event, occurrence, or milestone in the component. For example, it may fire to report completion of the document processing. The list of events being reported is not fixed, and may be flexibly extended over time.
The unique identifier of the event is provided in the EventID parameter. EventParam contains any parameters accompanying the occurrence. Depending on the type of the component, the exact action it is performing, or the document being processed, one or both may be omitted.
PassphraseNeeded Event (PGPReader Component)
Requests a data protection password from the application.
Syntax
public event OnPassphraseNeededHandler OnPassphraseNeeded; public delegate void OnPassphraseNeededHandler(object sender, PgpreaderPassphraseNeededEventArgs e); public class PgpreaderPassphraseNeededEventArgs : EventArgs { public string Passphrase { get; set; } public bool Skip { get; set; } }

Progress Event (PGPReader Component)
Reports the progress of the decryption operation.
Syntax
public event OnProgressHandler OnProgress; public delegate void OnProgressHandler(object sender, PgpreaderProgressEventArgs e); public class PgpreaderProgressEventArgs : EventArgs { public long Current { get; } public long Total { get; } public bool Cancel { get; set; } }
Public Event OnProgress As OnProgressHandler Public Delegate Sub OnProgressHandler(sender As Object, e As PgpreaderProgressEventArgs) Public Class PgpreaderProgressEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public ReadOnly Property Current As Long Public ReadOnly Property Total As Long Public Property Cancel As Boolean End Class
Remarks
The component fires this event repeatedly to report the progress of the file extraction operation.
Current indicates the amount of processed data in bytes, and Total is the total number of bytes to be processed. Use Cancel to terminate the extraction process.
Signed Event (PGPReader Component)
Notifies the application about a signed message.
Syntax
public event OnSignedHandler OnSigned; public delegate void OnSignedHandler(object sender, PgpreaderSignedEventArgs e); public class PgpreaderSignedEventArgs : EventArgs { public string KeyIDs { get; } public int SignatureType { get; } }
Public Event OnSigned As OnSignedHandler Public Delegate Sub OnSignedHandler(sender As Object, e As PgpreaderSignedEventArgs) Public Class PgpreaderSignedEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public ReadOnly Property KeyIDs As String Public ReadOnly Property SignatureType As Integer End Class
Remarks
The component fires this event when it identifies a signed message to allow the application to prepare the component for verification.
Use the KeyIDs parameter to identify keys used that were used to sign the message, and make sure they are available in the VerifyingKeys list.
SignatureType indicates the signature type:
pstNormal | 0 | A traditional signature, compatible (algorithm permitting) with PGP 2.6.x |
pstOnePass | 1 | A newer one-pass signature |

pstCleartext | 3 | A signature made over textual data and appended to it |
ExternalCrypto Type
Specifies the parameters of external cryptographic calls.
Remarks
External cryptocalls are used in a Distributed Cryptography (DC) subsystem, which allows the delegation of security operations to the remote agent. For instance, it can be used to compute the signature value on the server, while retaining the client's private key locally.
Fields
AsyncDocumentID
string
Default Value: ""
Specifies an optional document ID for SignAsyncBegin() and SignAsyncEnd() calls.
Use this property when working with multi-signature DCAuth requests and responses to uniquely identify documents signed within a larger batch. On the completion stage, this value helps the signing component identify the correct signature in the returned batch of responses.
If using batched requests, make sure to set this property to the same value on both the pre-signing (SignAsyncBegin) and completion (SignAsyncEnd) stages.
CustomParams
string
Default Value: ""
Custom parameters to be passed to the signing service (uninterpreted).
Data
string
Default Value: ""
Additional data to be included in the async state and mirrored back by the requestor.
ExternalHashCalculation
bool
Default Value: False
Specifies whether the message hash is to be calculated at the external endpoint. Please note that this mode is not supported by the DCAuth component.
If set to true, the component will pass a few kilobytes of to-be-signed data from the document to the OnExternalSign event. This only applies when SignExternal() is called.
HashAlgorithm
string
Default Value: "SHA256"
Specifies the request's signature hash algorithm.
SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_SHA1 | SHA1 | |

SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_SHAKE_128_LEN | SHAKE_128_LEN | |
SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_SHAKE_256_LEN | SHAKE_256_LEN |
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 an extra protection layer for the protocol and diminishes the risk of the 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.
Read more about configuring authentication in the KeyID topic.
Method

PGPKey Type
This container represents a PGP key.
Remarks
OpenPGP standard supports several types of keys. In our days, a typical OpenPGP keypair actually consists of two cryptographic keys: a primary key and a subkey. The primary key is normally used for signing, while the subkey is used for encryption.
While it is typical for PGP environments to use a primary key/subkey bundle, this is not a must. Sometimes you may come across standalone keys (mainly when dealing with older implementations), as well as whole key trees, each of those carrying a bunch of differently-purposed subkeys bound to the same primary key.
Algorithm-wise, OpenPGP keys also differ. Generally speaking, OpenPGP supports the following public key algorithms: RSA, Elgamal (often incorrectly referred to as DH), DSA, ECDH and ECDSA. When it comes to primary key/subkey bundles, DSA/Elgamal, RSA/RSA and ECDSA/ECDH pairs are typically used. Although there's no restriction on algorithm bundles, and, e.g. a ECDSA/Elgamal key bundle is perfectly possible, such combination is rarely used in practice.
A typical OpenPGP key is associated with some kind of user ID (Username). It is normally represented with a user's e-mail address, while in theory can be any piece of text. The secret part of the OpenPGP keypair is protected with a password (Passphrase).
