CAdESSigner Component

Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors

The CAdESSigner component creates CAdES- and CMS-compliant electronic signatures.

Syntax

TsbxCAdESSigner

Remarks

CAdESSigner can sign documents and files in compliance with CMS Advanced Electronic Signatures (CAdES) specification. Originally developed by ETSI on the basis of PKCS#7 format and initially adopted in the European Union, CAdES has quickly become a recognized international standard for signing all sorts of electronic documents.

Besides being a signature standard in its own right, CAdES is used as part of other higher-level signature standards, such as PAdES or S/MIME. It provides a convenient framework for creating short-lived and long-term signatures over any kind of documents, and is now used by governments, healthcare providers, banks, and independent service providers all across the globe.

Standards and technologies supported

CAdESSigner offers the following signing capabilities:

Create and upgrade CAdES signatures in accordance with the most recent CAdES specification (ETSI EN 319 122). Some features from older versions are also supported.
All profiles are supported (BES, EPES, T, C, X, XL, A, including Baseline and Extended variants).
Timestamping using external TSAs.
All industry-standard cryptographic algorithms (RSA, ECDSA, SHA256-512, and many others).

Configuring the signature parameters

Configuring CAdESSigner to make it produce a signature of the right type is the main task you would need to perform in your code. Normally the service or software you will be communicating your signed documents to will provide you with the list of requirements that your signatures should match.

Typically, those will dictate the following key aspects of the signatures:

The signature Level (such BES, T, XL, A, or XLong). This can be passed as the Level parameter of the Sign method.
Whether the signature should be detached or enveloping: this can be adjusted via the Detached parameter of the Sign method.
When creating a timestamped signature (such as T or A), provide the address of your online TSA service via TimestampServer property.
When creating long-term signatures that include the signing chain and validation material, tune up validation parameters via RevocationCheck, OfflineMode, and IgnoreChainValidationErrors properties.

In some circumstances you will also need to adjust the following lower-level settings:

Set ClaimedSigningTime to include the local signature creation time (not timestamped by a TTP).
Specify EPES signature parameters via PolicyHash, PolicyHashAlgorithm, PolicyID, and PolicyURI properties.
Provide the hash algorithm via the HashAlgorithm property.

Signing certificates

CAdESSigner can use certificates residing on different media. Besides generic certificates stored in PFX or PEM files (A1), it can operate with non-exportable certificates residing on hardware media (A3) or in the cloud.

Non-exportable certificates can be accessed transparently via a Windows CSP or a PKCS#11 driver, if supplied by the certificate issuer. Proprietary interfaces can be plugged in with the external signing feature (see below).

You can use CertificateManager and CertificateStorage components to access the signing certificate. Assign the certificate to SigningCertificate property, and optionally provide the remainder of its chain via SigningChain property.

Note: If signing with a non-exportable key (such as residing on a hardware device or in the cloud), please make sure you keep the original CertificateStorage object open until the signing is completed. This is because the storage component provides a 'bridge' to the private key. If the storage is closed prematurely, this bridge is destroyed, and the private key can't be used.

You don't need to provide a signing certificate or chain when timestamping and upgrading signatures, since this type of operation does not involve the signing private key.

Signing a file

Now that you have set up all signature properties and attached the signing certificate, it is time to proceed to signing. You can provide the input document in one of the following forms: as a file (assign the path to InputFile property), as a stream (assign to InputStream property), or as a byte array (assign to InputBytes). Similarly, the output can be collected in one of the same forms, either by passing the destination path or stream via OutputFile and OutputStream respectively, or by reading the resulting document bytes from the OutputBytes property after the signing completes.

Having set up the input and output (unless using OutputBytes, which should be read later), call the component's Sign method, passing the desired signature level and type as parameters. This will initiate the signing process. Depending on the settings, the signing may be as straightforward as calculating the document hash and signing it with the private key (e.g. in CAdES-BES or B-B variant), or it may involve advanced chain validation routines (CAdES-XL or -A). During the latter the component may contact a number of external revocation information sources (CRL and OCSP servers) to establish the validity of the signing certificate.

If a TSA server was provided via the TimestampServer property, the component will contact it too to timestamp the new signature.

During the signing CAdESSigner may fire events to let your code know of certain conditions. It may fire TLSCertValidate if one of the HTTP endpoints involved in the operation (which may be a CRL, OCSP, or TSA service) works over TLS and needs its certificate to be validated.

Apart from signing, CAdESSigner can perform operations on signatures of other kinds. Use Upgrade method to upgrade an existing CAdES signature to a higher level (e.g. BES to XL). Use Timestamp to add a generic or validation timestamp to an existing signature. Use the Countersign method to add a countersignature to an existing signature. For any of these operations the input should constitute a valid CAdES signature.

External signing and DCAuth

CAdESSigner, like many other components offered by the product, supports two methods of signing with external keys. These methods are fully independent of each other: you can choose the one that suits your usage scenario best.

Synchronous method: ExternalSign

This is a simpler method that basically lets you infiltrate into the heart of the signing routine by taking care of the hash signing operation. The component does the rest of the job (hash calculation, preparation of signature objects, CRL/OCSP retrieval).

To initiate this method, call SignExternal instead of Sign. When the hash is ready, it will be passed back to your code with ExternalSign event. Your event handler needs to sign the hash with the private key and return the created signature back to the component - which will embed it into the document.

You don't need your signing certificate to contain an associated private key when using this method. The certificate itself (its public copy) may be needed though, as it is often included in the hash calculation.

This method is synchronous, meaning SignExternal provides you the results immediately upon its completion.

Asynchronous method: DCAuth

DCAuth is a SecureBlackbox-own know-how technology. This protocol was designed to allow sharing of private keys across environments, allowing the signer and the private key to reside on different systems. It works in the following way:

The signing party - such as CAdESSigner - initiates the operation using SignAsyncBegin call. This produces two outcomes: a pre-signed document (a document with a blank signature placeholder), and a request state (an object containing a hash that needs to be signed). At this point the CAdESSigner instance can be released, and the process itself terminated (which may be useful when run as part of a web page).
The request state is passed to the private key holder party. The private key holder passes the request state to a DCAuth object, which parses the request state, extracts the hash, and signs it. The output of DCAuth processing is another object, response state, which contains the signature. The private key holder then sends the response state back to the signing party.
The signing party re-creates the controls, and passes the response state, together with the pre-signed version of the document, to the signer's SignAsyncEnd method. SignAsyncEnd extracts the signature from the response state and incorporates it into the pre-signed document.

This method is asynchronous in that sense that, from the signing party's viewpoint, it splits the signing operation into the pre-signing and completion stages which can be performed independently from each other and in different execution contexts. This makes this method particularly helpful for use in web pages and other scenarios where the signing key is not available in real time.

Fine-grained chain validation setup

Chain validation is a sophisticated, multi-faceted procedure that involves a lot of variables. Depending on the configuration of your operating environment, the specifics of the PKI framework being used, and the validation policy you need to follow, you may want to tune up your chain validation parameters so they fit them best. Below is given a summary of such parameters.

RevocationCheck property lets you choose between and/or prioritize revocation origins. OCSP sources are often preferred to CRL because of their real-time capability and the smaller size of validation tokens they produce.
OfflineMode is a master switch that stops component from looking for any validation tokens online. If this property is switched on, the component will only use KnownCertificates, TrustedCertificates, KnownCRLs, and KnownOCSPs collections to look for the missing validation material.
IgnoreChainValidationErrors makes the component ignore any major validation issues it encounters (such us an untrusted chain or missing CRL). This option is handy for debugging and for creating signatures in the environments where the signing certificate is not trusted.
KnownCertificates, KnownCRLs, and KnownOCSPs let you provide your own validation material. This may be useful when working in OfflineMode, where the signer has no access to the validation sources, or where the validation material has already been collected.
TrustedCertificates lets you provide a list of trust anchors, either as a complement to the system's or as an alternative for it.
BlockedCertificates lets you provide a list of blocked/distrusted certificates. Any CA certificate contained in it will be deemed untrusted/invalid.

The following parameters are not directly related to chain validation, but may have an implicit effect on it.

Proxy, SocketSettings, and TLSSettings let you tune up the connectivity and TLS options in accordance with local preferences.
TLSClientChain lets you provide the client certificate and its chain for TLS client authentication.
Subscribe to TLSCertValidate to validate any TLS certificates of the services involved in chain validation.

The results of the chain validation procedure, upon its completion, are published in the following properties:

ChainValidationResult contains the primary result of the chain validation routine: valid, valid but untrusted, invalid, or undefined.
ChainValidationDetails provides the details of the factors that contributed to the chain validation result, such as an outdated certificate, a missing CRL, or a missing CA certificate.
ValidationLog contains the detailed chain validation log. The log can often be very helpful in nailing down various validation issues.

IgnoreChainValidationErrors Property (CAdESSigner Component)

Makes the component tolerant to chain validation errors.

Syntax

property IgnoreChainValidationErrors: Boolean read get_IgnoreChainValidationErrors write set_IgnoreChainValidationErrors;

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 (CAdESSigner Component)

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

Syntax

property InputBytes: TBytes read get_InputBytes write set_InputBytes;

Remarks

Assign a byte array containing the data to be processed to this property.

A path to a file containing the data to be signed or updated.

Syntax

property InputFile: String read get_InputFile write set_InputFile;

Default Value

Remarks

Use this property to provide the data to work on. In case of the first-time signing, point this property to your data file. If countersigning, upgrading, or timestamping an existing signature, provide your existing signature file.

If updating a detached signature, you might need to provide the original data via DataFile property.

The data provided via this property can alternatively be provided from memory via InputStream property.

InputIsHash Property (CAdESSigner Component)

Specifies whether the input source contains the hash of the data or the actual data.

Syntax

property InputIsHash: Boolean read get_InputIsHash write set_InputIsHash;

Default Value

false

Remarks

Use this property to tell the component whether the input source contains the actual data or its hash.

This property is not available at design time.

KnownCertificates Property (CAdESSigner Component)

Additional certificates for chain validation.

Syntax

property KnownCertificates: TsbxCertificateList read get_KnownCertificates write set_KnownCertificates;

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 certificates to be added to this collection is roughly equivalent to that of 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 (CAdESSigner Component)

Additional CRLs for chain validation.

Syntax

property KnownCRLs: TsbxCRLList read get_KnownCRLs write set_KnownCRLs;

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 (CAdESSigner Component)

Additional OCSP responses for chain validation.

Syntax

property KnownOCSPs: TsbxOCSPResponseList read get_KnownOCSPs write set_KnownOCSPs;

Remarks

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

This property is not available at design time.

OfflineMode Property (CAdESSigner Component)

Switches the component to the offline mode.

Syntax

property OfflineMode: Boolean read get_OfflineMode write set_OfflineMode;

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 validation information included within the signature or provided via KnownCertificates, KnownCRLs, and other related properties.

PolicyID Property (CAdESSigner Component)

The policy ID to be included into the signature.

Syntax

property PolicyID: String read get_PolicyID write set_PolicyID;

Default Value

Remarks

Use this property to specify the signature policy identifier for EPES signatures.

The signature policy URI to be included in the signature.

Syntax

property PolicyURI: String read get_PolicyURI write set_PolicyURI;

Default Value

Remarks

Use this property to specify the URI of the signature policy for EPES signatures.

Profile Property (CAdESSigner Component)

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

Syntax

property Profile: String read get_Profile write set_Profile;

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 (CAdESSigner Component)

The proxy server settings.

Syntax

property Proxy: TsbxProxySettings read get_Proxy;

Remarks

Use this property to tune up the proxy server settings.

This property is read-only.

RevocationCheck Property (CAdESSigner Component)

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

Syntax

property RevocationCheck: TsbxRevocationCheckKinds read get_RevocationCheck write set_RevocationCheck;

TsbxRevocationCheckKinds = (
  crcNone,
  crcAuto,
  crcAllCRL,
  crcAllOCSP,
  crcAllCRLAndOCSP,
  crcAnyCRL,
  crcAnyOCSP,
  crcAnyCRLOrOCSP,
  crcAnyOCSPOrCRL
);

Default Value

crcAuto

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 (CRL) 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.


crcNone (`0`)	No revocation checking
crcAuto (`1`)	Automatic mode selection. Currently this maps to crcAnyOCSPOrCRL, but it may change in the future.
crcAllCRL (`2`)	Check all provided CRL endpoints for all chain certificates.
crcAllOCSP (`3`)	Check all provided OCSP endpoints for all chain certificates.
crcAllCRLAndOCSP (`4`)	Check all CRL and OCSP endpoints for all chain certificates.
crcAnyCRL (`5`)	At least one CRL check for every certificate in the chain must succeed.
crcAnyOCSP (`6`)	At least one OCSP check for every certificate in the chain must succeed.
crcAnyCRLOrOCSP (`7`)	At least one CRL or OCSP check for every certificate in the chain must succeed. CRL endpoints are checked first.
crcAnyOCSPOrCRL (`8`)	At 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.

SignatureIndex Property (CAdESSigner Component)

The index of the signature to update.

Syntax

property SignatureIndex: Integer read get_SignatureIndex write set_SignatureIndex;

Default Value

Remarks

Use this property to specify the index of the existing signature before timestamping or countersigning it.

SignedAttributes Property (CAdESSigner Component)

Custom signature attributes to be covered by the electronic signature.

Syntax

property SignedAttributes: TsbxSignatureAttributeList read get_SignedAttributes;

Remarks

Signature attributes are used to store auxiliary information in the signature. Values included as signed attributes are covered by the signature.

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

SigningCertificate Property (CAdESSigner Component)

The certificate to be used for signing.

Syntax

property SigningCertificate: TsbxCertificate read get_SigningCertificate write set_SigningCertificate;

Remarks

Use this property to specify the certificate that shall be used for signing the data. Note that this certificate should have a private key associated with it. Use SigningChain to supply the rest of the certificate chain for inclusion into the signature.

This property is not available at design time.

SigningChain Property (CAdESSigner Component)

The signing certificate chain.

Syntax

property SigningChain: TsbxCertificateList read get_SigningChain write set_SigningChain;

Remarks

Use this property to provide the chain for the signing certificate. Use SigningCertificate property, if it is available, to provide the signing certificate itself.

This property is not available at design time.

SocketSettings Property (CAdESSigner Component)

Manages network connection settings.

Syntax

property SocketSettings: TsbxSocketSettings read get_SocketSettings;

Remarks

Use this property to tune up network connection parameters.

This property is read-only.

TimestampServer Property (CAdESSigner Component)

The address of the timestamping server.

Syntax

property TimestampServer: String read get_TimestampServer write set_TimestampServer;

Default Value

Remarks

Use this property to provide the address of the Time Stamping Authority (TSA) server to be used for timestamping the signature.

SecureBlackbox supports RFC3161-compliant timestamping servers, available via HTTP or HTTPS.

If your timestamping service enforces credential-based user authentication (basic or digest), you can provide the credentials in the same URL:

http://user:password@timestamp.server.com/TsaService

For TSAs using certificate-based TLS authentication, provide the client certificate via the TLSClientChain property.

If this property is left empty, no timestamp will be added to the signature.

Starting from summer 2021 update (Vol. 2), the virtual timestamping service is supported, which allows you to intervene in the timestamping routine and provide your own handling for the TSA exchange. This may be handy if the service that you are requesting timestamps from uses a non-standard TSP protocol or requires special authentication option.

To employ the virtual service, assign an URI of the following format to this property:

virtual://localhost?hashonly=true&includecerts=true&reqpolicy=1.2.3.4.5&halg=SHA256

Subscribe to Notification event to get notified about the virtualized timestamping event. The EventID of the timestamping event is TimestampRequest. Inside the event handler, read the base16-encoded request from the EventParam parameter and forward it to the timestamping authority. Upon receiving the response, pass it back to the component, encoded in base16, via the TimestampResponse config property:

component.Config("TimestampResponse=308208ab...");

Note that all the exchange with your custom TSA should take place within the same invocation of the Notification event.

The hashonly parameter of the virtual URI tells the component to only return the timestamp message imprint via the EventParam parameter. If set to false, EventParam will contain the complete RFC3161 timestamping request.

The includecerts parameter specifies that the requestCertificates parameter of the timestamping request should be set to true.

The reqpolicy parameter lets you specify the request policy, and the halg parameter specifies the hash algorithm to use for timestamping.

All the parameters are optional.

TLSClientChain Property (CAdESSigner Component)

The TLS client certificate chain.

Syntax

property TLSClientChain: TsbxCertificateList read get_TLSClientChain write set_TLSClientChain;

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.

This property is not available at design time.

TLSServerChain Property (CAdESSigner Component)

The TLS server's certificate chain.

Syntax

property TLSServerChain: TsbxCertificateList read get_TLSServerChain;

Remarks

Use this property to access the certificate chain sent by the TLS server.

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

TLSSettings Property (CAdESSigner Component)

Manages TLS layer settings.

Syntax

property TLSSettings: TsbxTLSSettings read get_TLSSettings;

Remarks

Use this property to tune up the TLS layer parameters.

This property is read-only.

TrustedCertificates Property (CAdESSigner Component)

A list of trusted certificates for chain validation.

Syntax

property TrustedCertificates: TsbxCertificateList read get_TrustedCertificates write set_TrustedCertificates;

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 than that of 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.

UnsignedAttributes Property (CAdESSigner Component)

Custom unsigned attributes to be included in the electronic signature.

Syntax

property UnsignedAttributes: TsbxSignatureAttributeList read get_UnsignedAttributes;

Remarks

Signature attributes are used to store auxiliary information in the signature. Values included as unsigned attributes are not covered by the signature and can be changed or removed without affecting the signature.

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

ValidationLog Property (CAdESSigner Component)

Contains the complete log of the certificate validation routine.

Syntax

property ValidationLog: String read get_ValidationLog;

Default Value

Remarks

Use this property to access the chain validation log produced by the component. The log can be very useful when investigating issues with chain validation, as it contains a step-by-step trace of the entire validation procedure.

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

Archive Method (CAdESSigner Component)

Archives the signature.

Syntax

procedure Archive(Baseline: Boolean);

Remarks

Call this method to produce an archival signature. Archival signature (CAdES-A) is built on top of CAdES-XL by certifying it with an archival timestamp.

Set Baseline to True to produce a baseline CAdES-A.

Config Method (CAdESSigner Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

function Config(ConfigurationString: String): 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.

Countersign Method (CAdESSigner Component)

Countersigns the existing signature.

Syntax

procedure Countersign(Level: Integer; SerialSignature: Boolean);

Remarks

Use this method to countersign a signature. Use the Level parameter to provide the desired CAdES level (see below).

SerialSignature specifies whether the new countersignature should be added on the same level of hierarchy as the original signature (signature-over-data, True), or as a true countersignature (signature-over-signature, False).

CAdES defines a number of different 'levels' of signatures. Supported signature levels:


cslUnknown	`0`	Unknown signature level
cslBES	`1`	BES (Basic Electronic Signature)
cslEPES	`2`	EPES (Electronic Signature with an Explicit Policy)
cslT	`3`	T (Timestamped)
cslC	`4`	C (T with revocation references)
cslXType1	`5`	X Type 1 (C with an ES-C timestamp)
cslXType2	`6`	X Type 2 (C with a CertsAndCRLs timestamp)
cslXLType1	`7`	XL Type 1 (C with revocation values and an ES-C timestamp)
cslXLType2	`8`	XL Type 2 (C with revocation values and a CertsAndCRLs timestamp)
cslBaselineB	`9`	Baseline B (B-B, basic)
cslBaselineT	`10`	Baseline T (B-T, timestamped)
cslBaselineLT	`11`	Baseline LT (B-LT, long-term)
cslBaselineLTA	`12`	Baseline LTA (B-LTA, long-term with archived timestamp)
cslExtendedBES	`13`	Extended BES
cslExtendedEPES	`14`	Extended EPES
cslExtendedT	`15`	Extended T
cslExtendedC	`16`	Extended C

cslExtendedXType2	`18`	Extended X Type 2
cslExtendedXLType1	`19`	Extended XL Type 1
cslExtendedXLType2	`20`	Extended XL Type 2
cslExtendedA	`21`	Extended A
cslA	`22`	A (archived)

CountersignAsyncBegin Method (CAdESSigner Component)

Initiates asynchronous (DC) countersigning.

Syntax

function CountersignAsyncBegin(Level: Integer; SerialSignature: Boolean): String;

Remarks

Call this method to initiate an asynchronous signing process. Pass the obtained async state to the DC processor for signing. To finalize the signing, pass the async state received from the DC processor to SignAsyncEnd.

AsyncState is a message of the distributed cryptography (DC) protocol. DC protocol is based on exchange of async states between a DC client (an application that wants to sign a PDF, XML, or Office document) and a DC server (an application that controls access to the private key). An async state can carry one or more signing requests, comprised of document hashes, or one or more signatures produced over those hashes.

In a typical scenario you get a client-side async state from the SignAsyncBegin method. This state contains document hashes to be signed on the DC server side. You then send the async state to the DC server (often represented by the DCAuth control), which processes it and produces a matching signatures state. The async state produced by the server is then passed to the SignAsyncEnd method.

Set Detached to true to generate a detached signature (stored as a separate file).

CAdES defines a number of different 'levels' of signatures. Supported signature levels:


cslUnknown	`0`	Unknown signature level
cslBES	`1`	BES (Basic Electronic Signature)
cslEPES	`2`	EPES (Electronic Signature with an Explicit Policy)
cslT	`3`	T (Timestamped)
cslC	`4`	C (T with revocation references)
cslXType1	`5`	X Type 1 (C with an ES-C timestamp)
cslXType2	`6`	X Type 2 (C with a CertsAndCRLs timestamp)
cslXLType1	`7`	XL Type 1 (C with revocation values and an ES-C timestamp)
cslXLType2	`8`	XL Type 2 (C with revocation values and a CertsAndCRLs timestamp)
cslBaselineB	`9`	Baseline B (B-B, basic)
cslBaselineT	`10`	Baseline T (B-T, timestamped)
cslBaselineLT	`11`	Baseline LT (B-LT, long-term)
cslBaselineLTA	`12`	Baseline LTA (B-LTA, long-term with archived timestamp)
cslExtendedBES	`13`	Extended BES
cslExtendedEPES	`14`	Extended EPES
cslExtendedT	`15`	Extended T
cslExtendedC	`16`	Extended C
cslExtendedXType1	`17`	Extended X Type 1
cslExtendedXType2	`18`	Extended X Type 2
cslExtendedXLType1	`19`	Extended XL Type 1
cslExtendedXLType2	`20`	Extended XL Type 2
cslExtendedA	`21`	Extended A
cslA	`22`	A (archived)

CountersignAsyncEnd Method (CAdESSigner Component)

Completes the asynchronous countersigning operation.

Syntax

procedure CountersignAsyncEnd(AsyncReply: String);

Remarks

When using the DC framework, call this method upon receiving the response state from the DC processor to complete the asynchronous signing process.

Before calling this method, assign the path to the pre-signed copy of the document obtained from prior SignAsyncBegin call to InputFile (or InputStream). The method will embed the signature into the pre-signed document, and save the complete signed document to OutputFile (or OutputStream).

Note that depending on the signing method and DC configuration used, you may still need to provide the public part of the signing certificate via the SigningCertificate property.

Use the ExternalCrypto.AsyncDocumentID parameter to pass a specific document ID if using batched AsyncReply. If used, it should match the value provided on the pre-signing (SignAsyncBegin) stage.

CountersignExternal Method (CAdESSigner Component)

Countersigns the existing signature using an external signing facility.

Syntax

procedure CountersignExternal(Level: Integer; SerialSignature: Boolean);

Remarks

Use this method to countersign a signature. Use the Level parameter to provide the desired CAdES level (see below). SerialSignature specifies whether the new countersignature should be added on the same level of hierarchy as the original signature (signature-over-data, True), or as a true countersignature (signature-over-signature, False).

Call this method to delegate the low-level signing operation to an external, remote, or custom signing engine. This method is useful if the signature has to be made by a device accessible through a custom or non-standard signing interface.

When all preparations are done and the hash is computed, the component fires ExternalSign event which allows to pass the hash value to the external engine for signing.

CAdES defines a number of different 'levels' of signatures. Supported signature levels:


cslUnknown	`0`	Unknown signature level
cslBES	`1`	BES (Basic Electronic Signature)
cslEPES	`2`	EPES (Electronic Signature with an Explicit Policy)
cslT	`3`	T (Timestamped)
cslC	`4`	C (T with revocation references)
cslXType1	`5`	X Type 1 (C with an ES-C timestamp)
cslXType2	`6`	X Type 2 (C with a CertsAndCRLs timestamp)
cslXLType1	`7`	XL Type 1 (C with revocation values and an ES-C timestamp)
cslXLType2	`8`	XL Type 2 (C with revocation values and a CertsAndCRLs timestamp)
cslBaselineB	`9`	Baseline B (B-B, basic)
cslBaselineT	`10`	Baseline T (B-T, timestamped)
cslBaselineLT	`11`	Baseline LT (B-LT, long-term)
cslBaselineLTA	`12`	Baseline LTA (B-LTA, long-term with archived timestamp)
cslExtendedBES	`13`	Extended BES
cslExtendedEPES	`14`	Extended EPES
cslExtendedT	`15`	Extended T
cslExtendedC	`16`	Extended C
cslExtendedXType1	`17`	Extended X Type 1
cslExtendedXType2	`18`	Extended X Type 2

cslExtendedXLType2	`20`	Extended XL Type 2
cslExtendedA	`21`	Extended A
cslA	`22`	A (archived)

DoAction Method (CAdESSigner Component)

Performs an additional action.

Syntax

function DoAction(ActionID: String; ActionParams: String): String;

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 of the action is provided in ActionID parameter. ActionParams contains a list of parameters for the action in the form of PARAM1=VALUE1;PARAM2=VALUE2;....

ExtractAsyncData Method (CAdESSigner Component)

Extracts user data from the DC signing service response.

Syntax

function ExtractAsyncData(AsyncReply: String): String;

Remarks

Call this method before finalizing the asynchronous signing process to extract the data passed to the ExternalCrypto.Data property on the pre-signing stage.

The Data parameter can be used to pass some state or document identifier along with the signing request from the pre-signing to completion async stage.

Sign Method (CAdESSigner Component)

Creates a new CAdES signature over the provided data.

Syntax

procedure Sign(Level: Integer; Detached: Boolean);

Remarks

Call this method to produce a new signature of the needed Level over the provided data. Set Detached to true to generate a detached signature (stored as a separate file and not including the data).

CAdES standard defines a number of different 'levels' of signatures. Supported signature levels:


cslUnknown	`0`	Unknown signature level
cslBES	`1`	BES (Basic Electronic Signature)
cslEPES	`2`	EPES (Electronic Signature with an Explicit Policy)

cslA	`22`	A (archived)

SignAsyncEnd Method (CAdESSigner Component)

Completes the asynchronous signing operation.

Syntax

procedure SignAsyncEnd(AsyncReply: String);

Remarks

When using the DC framework, call this method upon receiving the response state from the DC processor to complete the asynchronous signing process.

Note that depending on the signing method and DC configuration used, you may still need to provide the public part of the signing certificate via the SigningCertificate property.

Use the ExternalCrypto.AsyncDocumentID parameter to pass a specific document ID if using batched AsyncReply. If used, it should match the value provided on the pre-signing (SignAsyncBegin) stage.

SignExternal Method (CAdESSigner Component)

Signs the document using an external signing facility.

Syntax

procedure SignExternal(Level: Integer; Detached: Boolean);

Remarks

Use this method to create a CAdES signature using an external signing facility for the cryptographic computations. SignRemote delegates the low-level signing operation to an external, remote, or custom signing engine. This method is useful if the signature has to be made by a device accessible through a custom or non-standard signing interface.

When all preparations are done and hash is computed, the component fires ExternalSign event which allows to pass the hash value for signing.

Set Detached to True to generate a detached (stored in a separate message) signature.

CAdES defines a number of different 'levels' of signatures. Supported signature levels:


cslUnknown	`0`	Unknown signature level

type TChainElementDownloadEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  Kind: Integer;
  const CertRDN: String;
  const CACertRDN: String;
  const Location: String;
  var Action: Integer
) of Object;

property OnChainElementDownload: TChainElementDownloadEvent read FOnChainElementDownload write FOnChainElementDownload;

Remarks

Subscribe to this event to be notified about validation element retrievals. Use Action parameter to suppress the download if required.


veaAuto	`0`	Handle the action automatically (the default behaviour)
veaContinue	`1`	Accept the request implied by the event (accept the certificate, allow the object retrieval)
veaReject	`2`	Reject the request implied by the event (reject the certificate, disallow the object retrieval)
veaAcceptNow	`3`	Accept the validated certificate immediately
veaAbortNow	`4`	Abort the validation, reject the certificate

ChainElementNeeded Event (CAdESSigner Component)

Fires when an element required to validate the chain was not located.

Syntax

type TChainElementNeededEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  Kind: Integer;
  const CertRDN: String;
  const CACertRDN: String
) of Object;

property OnChainElementNeeded: TChainElementNeededEvent read FOnChainElementNeeded write FOnChainElementNeeded;

Remarks

Subscribe to this event to be notified about missing validation elements. Use the KnownCRLs, KnownCertificates, and KnownOCSPs properties in the event handler to provide the missing piece.

ChainValidationProgress Event (CAdESSigner Component)

This event is fired multiple times during chain validation to report various stages of the validation procedure.

Syntax

type TChainValidationProgressEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  const EventKind: String;
  const CertRDN: String;
  const CACertRDN: String;
  var Action: Integer
) of Object;

property OnChainValidationProgress: TChainValidationProgressEvent read FOnChainValidationProgress write FOnChainValidationProgress;

Remarks

Subscribe to this event to be notified about chain validation progress. Use Action parameter to alter the validation flow.

The EventKind parameter reports the nature of the event being reported. The CertRDN and CACertRDN report the distinguished names of the certificates that are relevant for the event invocation (one or both can be empty, depending on EventKind. Use Action parameter to adjust the validation flow.


veaAuto	`0`	Handle the action automatically (the default behaviour)
veaContinue	`1`	Accept the request implied by the event (accept the certificate, allow the object retrieval)
veaReject	`2`	Reject the request implied by the event (reject the certificate, disallow the object retrieval)
veaAcceptNow	`3`	Accept the validated certificate immediately
veaAbortNow	`4`	Abort the validation, reject the certificate

Error Event (CAdESSigner Component)

Information about errors during CAdES signing.

Syntax

type TErrorEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  ErrorCode: Integer;
  const Description: String
) of Object;

property OnError: TErrorEvent read FOnError write FOnError;

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 Messages section.

ExternalSign Event (CAdESSigner Component)

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

Syntax

type TExternalSignEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  const OperationId: String;
  const HashAlgorithm: String;
  const Pars: String;
  const Data: String;
  var SignedData: String
) of Object;

property OnExternalSign: TExternalSignEvent read FOnExternalSign write FOnExternalSign;

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(); };

Notification Event (CAdESSigner Component)

This event notifies the application about an underlying control flow event.

Syntax

type TNotificationEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  const EventID: String;
  const EventParam: String
) of Object;

property OnNotification: TNotificationEvent read FOnNotification write FOnNotification;

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 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.

This component can fire this event with the following EventID values:

TimestampRequest

A timestamp is requested from the custom timestamping authority. This event is only fired if TimestampServer was set to a virtual:// URI. The EventParam parameter contains the TSP request (or the plain hash, depending on the value provided to TimestampServer), in base16, that needs to be sent to the TSA.

Use the event handler to send the request to the TSA. Upon receiving the response, assign it, in base16, to the TimestampResponse configuration property.

TimestampRequest Event (CAdESSigner Component)

Fires when the component is ready to request a timestamp from an external TSA.

Syntax

type TTimestampRequestEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  const TSA: String;
  const TimestampRequest: String;
  var TimestampResponse: String;
  var SuppressDefault: Boolean
) of Object;

property OnTimestampRequest: TTimestampRequestEvent read FOnTimestampRequest write FOnTimestampRequest;

Remarks

Subscribe to this event to be intercept timestamp requests. You can use it to override timestamping requests and perform them in your code.

The TSA parameter indicates the timestamping service being used. It matches the value passed to TimestampServer property. Set SuppressDefault parameter to false if you would like to stop the built-in TSA request from going ahead. The built-in TSA request is also not performed if the returned TimestampResponse parameter is not empty.

TLSCertNeeded Event (CAdESSigner Component)

Fires when a remote TLS party requests a client certificate.

Syntax

type TTLSCertNeededEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  const Host: String;
  const CANames: String
) of Object;

property OnTLSCertNeeded: TTLSCertNeededEvent read FOnTLSCertNeeded write FOnTLSCertNeeded;

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 (CAdESSigner Component)

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

Syntax

type TTLSCertValidateEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  const ServerHost: String;
  const ServerIP: String;
  var Accept: Boolean
) of Object;

property OnTLSCertValidate: TTLSCertValidateEvent read FOnTLSCertValidate write FOnTLSCertValidate;

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 (CAdESSigner Component)

Fires when a TLS handshake with Host successfully completes.

Syntax

type TTLSEstablishedEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  const Host: String;
  const Version: String;
  const Ciphersuite: String;
  ConnectionId: TBytes;
  var Abort: Boolean
) of Object;

property OnTLSEstablished: TTLSEstablishedEvent read FOnTLSEstablished write FOnTLSEstablished;

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 (CAdESSigner Component)

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

Syntax

type TTLSHandshakeEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  const Host: String;
  var Abort: Boolean
) of Object;

property OnTLSHandshake: TTLSHandshakeEvent read FOnTLSHandshake write FOnTLSHandshake;

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.

TLSShutdown Event (CAdESSigner Component)

Reports the graceful closure of a TLS connection.

Syntax

type TTLSShutdownEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  const Host: String
) of Object;

property OnTLSShutdown: TTLSShutdownEvent read FOnTLSShutdown write FOnTLSShutdown;

Remarks

This event notifies the application about the closure of an earlier established TLS connection. Note that only graceful connection closures are reported.

Certificate Type

Provides details of an individual X.509 certificate.

Remarks

This type provides access to X.509 certificate details.

Fields

Bytes
TBytes

Returns raw certificate data in DER format.

CA
Boolean

Indicates whether the certificate has a CA capability (a setting in BasicConstraints extension).

CAKeyID
TBytes

A unique identifier (fingerprint) of the CA certificate's private key.

Authority Key Identifier is a (non-critical) X.509 certificate extension which allows the identification of certificates produced by the same issuer, but with different public keys.

CRLDistributionPoints
String

Locations of the CRL (Certificate Revocation List) distribution points used to check this certificate's validity.

Curve
String

Specifies the elliptic curve of the EC public key.

OCSPNoCheck
Boolean

Accessor to the value of the certificates ocsp-no-check extension.

Origin
Integer

Returns the origin of this certificate.

PolicyIDs
String

Contains identifiers (OIDs) of the applicable certificate policies.

The Certificate Policies extension identifies a sequence of policies under which the certificate has been issued, and which regulate its usage.

PrivateKeyBytes
TBytes

Contains the certificate's private key. It is normal for this property to be empty if the private key is non-exportable.

PrivateKeyExists
Boolean

Indicates whether the certificate has an associated private key.

PrivateKeyExtractable
Boolean

Indicates whether the private key is extractable

PublicKeyBytes
TBytes

Contains the certificate's public key in DER format.

Constructors

constructor Create();

Creates a new object with default field values.

CRL Type

Represents a Certificate Revocation List.

Remarks

CRLs store information about revoked certificates, i.e., certificates that have been identified as invalid by their issuing certificate authority (CA) for any number of reasons.

Each CRL object lists certificates from a single CA and identifies them by their serial numbers. A CA may or may not publish a CRL, may publish several CRLs, or may publish the same CRL in multiple locations.

Unlike OCSP responses, CRLs only list certificates that have been revoked. They do not list certificates that are still valid.

Fields


Bytes TBytes	Returns raw CRL data in DER format.
CAKeyID TBytes	A unique identifier (fingerprint) of the CA certificate's private key, if present in the CRL.
EntryCount Integer	Returns the number of certificate status entries in the CRL.
Handle Int64	Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object. Use this property to assign objects of the same type in a quicker manner, without copying them fieldwise. When you pass a handle of one object to another, the source object is copied to the destination rather than assigned. It is safe to get rid of the original object after such operation. `pdfSigner.setSigningCertHandle(certMgr.getCertHandle());`
Issuer String	The common name of the CRL issuer (CA), typically a company name.
IssuerRDN String	A collection of information, in the form of [OID, Value] pairs, uniquely identifying the CRL issuer.
Location String	The URL that the CRL was downloaded from.
NextUpdate String	The planned time and date of the next version of this CRL to be published.
SigAlgorithm String	The public key algorithm that was used by the CA to sign this CRL.
TBS TBytes	The to-be-signed part of the CRL (the CRL without the signature part).
ThisUpdate String	The date and time at which this version of the CRL was published.

Constructors

constructor Create();

Creates an empty CRL object.

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

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 pre-signing (SignAsyncBegin) and completion (SignAsyncEnd) stages.

CustomParams
String

Custom parameters to be passed to the signing service (uninterpreted).

Data
String

Additional data to be included in the async state and mirrored back by the requestor

ExternalHashCalculation
Boolean

Specifies whether the message hash is to be calculated at the external endpoint. Please note that this mode is not supported by all components. In particular, components operating with larger objects (PDFSigner, CAdESSigner, XAdESSigner) do not support it.

HashAlgorithm
String

Specifies the request's signature hash algorithm.

KeyID
String

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

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
TsbxAsyncSignMethods

Specifies the asynchronous signing method. This is typically defined by the DC server capabilities and setup.

Available options:


asmdPKCS1	`0`
asmdPKCS7	`1`

Mode
TsbxExternalCryptoModes

Specifies the external cryptography mode.

Available options:


ecmDefault	The default value (`0`)
ecmDisabled	Do not use DC or external signing (`1`)
ecmGeneric	Generic external signing with OnExternalSign event (`2`)
ecmDCAuth	DCAuth signing (`3`)
ecmDCAuthJSON	DCAuth signing in JSON format (`4`)

PublicKeyAlgorithm
String

Provide public key algorithm here if the certificate is not available on the pre-signing stage.

Ciphersuites
String

A list of ciphersuites separated with commas or semicolons. Each ciphersuite in the list may be prefixed with a minus sign (-) to indicate that the ciphersuite should be disabled rather than enabled. Besides the specific ciphersuite modifiers, this property supports the all (and -all) aliases that allow to blanketly enable or disable all ciphersuites at once.

Note: the list of ciphersuites provided to this property alters the baseline list of ciphersuites as defined by BaseConfiguration. Remember to start your ciphersuite string with -all; if you need to only enable a specific fixed set of ciphersuites. The list of supported ciphersuites is provided below:

Config Settings (CAdESSigner 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.

CAdESSigner Config Settings

AddReferencesToAllUsedCertsAndRevInfo: Whether to include all certificates and revocation references in CompleteCertificateRefs attribute.

If this property is set, all certificates and revocation references collected during validation will be added to the CompleteCertificateRefs attribute of the signature. This feature is not required by the CAdES specification, however, some processors may expect such behavior.

AddReferencesToIrrevocableCerts: Whether references to irrevocable certificates should be included in CompleteCertificateRefs attribute.

Set this property to True to include references to irrevocable certificates in CompleteCertificateRefs attribute

AddReferenceToSigningCert: Whether a reference to the signing certificate should be included in CompleteCertificateRefs attribute.

Set this property to True to include a reference to the signing certificate in CompleteCertificateRefs attribute

AllowPartialValidationInfo: Whether to allow for missing validation info.

If this property is set to True, signature validation will not fail if validation information for a certificate is absent.

CmsOptAnnexKArchiveTimestampV2Mode: Toggles use of Annex K method of calculating validation timestamp hashes.

This CMS message option toggles the use of Annex K method of calculating validation timestamp hashes. Switch this option off to stick to RFC5126 p6.3.5 method.

CmsOptCheckATSHashIndexElements: Enables extra checks when processing ATSHashIndex attribute.

This CMS message option enables an extra check to make sure every hash in ATSHashIndex has an associated CMS element.

CmsOptCompareRDNAsStrings: Enforces comparison of RDN elements as text strings, rather than their byte encodings.

This CMS message option enforces comparison of string RDN elements as text strings rather than their original byte encodings.

CmsOptDigitPADSSCompatibility: Enables Digit PADSS compatibility mode.

This CMS message option enables compatibility mode with Digit PADSS software.

CmsOptForceSigningCertificateV2Usage: Enforces use of signing-certificate-v2 attribute.

This CMS message option enforces the use of signing-certificate-v2 attribute in favour of older signing-certificate-v1. Current regulations require that signing-certificate-v2 is used at all times.

CmsOptIgnoreDERReqInArchiveTimestamps: Switches off DER encoding requirement for archival timestamps.

This CMS message option switches off DER encoding requirement for archival timestamps (normally meaning no attribute reordering). This setting is a workaround for certain buggy CAdES products.

CmsOptImzagerMIMCompatibility: Enables Imzager MIM compatibility mode.

This CMS message option enables compatibility mode with Imzager MIM software.

CmsOptIncludeCertToAttributes: Regulates whether to include the signing certificate to the signature as the signing-certificate attribute.

This CMS message option controls inclusion of the signing certificate as the signing-certificate attribute. Current regulations require that this attribute is present.

CmsOptIncludeCertToMessage: Regulates whether to include the signing certificate and its chain to the CMS.

This CMS message option controls inclusion of the signing certificate to the CMS structure. It is recommended that the certificate is included. Note that this option has no effect if the signature level used (e.g. XL) enforces inclusion of the certificate to the message.

CmsOptInsertContentType: Regulates whether the content-type time attribute should be included in the signature structure.

This CMS message option specifies whether the content-type attribute should be included in the signature structure.

CmsOptInsertMessageDigests: Regulates whether the message-digest signed attribute should be included in the signature structure.

This CMS message option controls inclusion of the message-digest attribute in the signature structure. Current regulations require that this attribute is present at all times.

CmsOptInsertSigningTime: Regulates whether the signing-time attribute should be included in the signature structure.

This CMS message option specifies whether the signing-time attribute should be included in the signature structure. Switch it off to suppress inclusion of the signing-time attribute.

CmsOptSkipEnvContentInfoOnSigArchival: Excludes hashing of enveloped content when calculating an archival timestamp.

This CMS message option excludes hashing of enveloped content when calculating an archival timestamp. This setting is a workaround for certain buggy CAdES products.

CmsOptUseATSHashIndexV1: Enables use of ATSHashIndexV1 attribute.

This CMS message option enables use of deprecated ATSHashIndexV1 attribute when calculating archival timestamp V3 hashes.

CmsOptUseGeneralizedTimeFormat: Enables or disables encoding of the signing-time attribute using ASN.1 GENERALIZEDTIME type.

This CMS message option controls whether the signing-time attribute should be encoded as GENERALIZEDTIME or UTCTIME. Current regulations require that the GENERALIZEDTIME type is used at all times.

CmsOptUseGenericSigAlgorithmOIDs: Enables use of generic signature algorithm OIDs in the signature.

This CMS message option enforces the use of generic public key algorithm OIDs (e.g. rsaEncryption) instead of hash algorithm-specific variants (e.g. sha256withRsaEncryption). This setting is a workaround for certain buggy CAdES products.

CmsOptUsePlainContentForTimestampHashes: Makes CAdESSigner ignore ASN.1 content formatting when calculating timestamp hashes.

This CMS message option causes CAdESSigner to ignore ASN.1 formatting when feeding content to timestamp hashes (might make a difference with split OCTETSTRINGs for extra long contents). This option is only applicable to content timestamps and ArchivalTimestampV1's. This setting is a workaround for certain buggy CAdES products.

ContentType: The content type of the CMS message.

Specifies the content type of the CMS message.

DeepCountersignatureValidation: Whether to validate countersignatures.

When this property is set, deep validation of countersignatures is performed.

DeepTimestampValidation: Whether to perform deep validation of all timestamps.

When this property is set, deep validation of all signature's timestamps is performed.

DislikeOpenEndedOCSPs: Tells the component to discourage OCSP responses without an explicit NextUpdate parameter.

When this property is set to True, the validation engine treats OCSP response without a NextUpdate field as 'substandard' and tries to obtain some further revocation material for the certificate in question (a different OCSP or a CRL, even if the component is configured to prefer the OCSP route). This is to work around Adobe Reader's intolerance to such OCSPs when classifying signed documents as LTV (as of August 2022).

ForceCompleteChainValidation: Whether to check the CA certificates when the signing certificate is invalid.

Set this property to True to check issuer (CA) certificates when the signing certificate is invalid.

ForceCompleteChainValidationForTrusted: Whether to continue with the full validation up to the root CA certificate for mid-level trust anchors.

Set this property to True to enable full chain validation for explicitly trusted intermediary or end-entity certificates. This may be useful when creating signatures to enforce completeness of the collected revocation information. It often makes sense to set this property to false when validating signatures to reduce validation time and avoid issues with badly configured environments.

GracePeriod: Specifies a grace period to apply during revocation information checks.

Use this property to specify a grace period (in seconds). Grace period applies to certain subprotocols, such as OCSP, and caters to the inaccuracy and/or missynchronization of clocks on different participating systems. Any time deviations within the grace period will be tolerated.

IgnoreChainLoops: Whether chain loops should be ignored.

Set this property to True to make the validation engine ignore chain loops. This may be an option when you need to process chains from buggy CAs that happen to include subchains that sign themselves.

IgnoreChainValidationErrors: Don't stop on chain validation errors.

Set this property to True to make the component ignore any chain validation issues. This may be useful if the signature is created in an environment with a different trust settings to the validation environment.

IgnoreOCSPNoCheckExtension: Whether OCSP NoCheck extension should be ignored.

Set this property to True to make the validation engine ignore the OCSP no-check extension. You would normally need to set this property when validating severely non-compliant chains that misuse the extension, causing chain loops or other validation issues.

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.

ImplicitlyTrustSelfSignedCertificates: Whether to trust self-signed certificates.

Set this property to True to implicitly trust all self-signed certificates. Use it with care as trusting just about every self-signed certificate is unwise. One exceptional reason where this property may be handy is where a chain is validated in an environment that is not supposed to trust it (for example, a signing, rather than verifying environment, or a QA server). Trusting all self-signing certificates (which are normally trusted) allows to emulate the verifying environment without actually changing its security settings.

PolicyExplicitText: The explicit text of the user notice.

Use this property to specify the explicit text of the user notice to be displayed when the signature is verified.

PolicyUNNumbers: The noticeNumbers part of the NoticeReference CAdES attribute.

Defines the "noticeNumbers" part of the NoticeReference signature policy qualifier for CAdES-EPES.

PolicyUNOrganization: The organization part of the NoticeReference qualifier.

Defines the "organization" part of the NoticeReference signature policy qualifier for CAdES-EPES.

PromoteLongOCSPResponses: Whether long OCSP responses are requested.

Set this property to True to force the component to publish 'long' form of OCSP responses. Otherwise, only BasicOCSPResponse blobs are promoted.

ReportInvalidTimestamps: Whether to raise errors for invalid timestamps.

When this property is set, an invalid timestamp will be considered a critical issue.

SchemeParams: The algorithm scheme parameters to employ.

Use this property to specify the parameters of the algorithm scheme if needed.

This setting is used to provide parameters for some cryptographic schemes. Use the Name1=Value1;Name2=Value2;... syntax to encode the parameters. For example: Scheme=PSS;SaltSize=32;TrailerField=1.

SkipValidationTimestampedSignatures: Whether to validate signatures with validation timestamps.

Set this property to False to enforce validation of the signatures containing validation timestamps.

SuppressValuesInC: Makes CAdESSigner not add certificate and revocation values to its C-level signatures.

In default configuration CAdESSigner includes both references and values to its C-level signatures. Switch this setting on to make it exclude the values from such signatures (only leaving the references).

TempPath: Path for storing temporary files.

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

TLSChainValidationDetails: Contains the advanced details of the TLS server certificate validation.

Check this property in TLSCertValidate event handler to access the TLS certificate validation details.

TLSChainValidationResult: Contains the result of the TLS server certificate validation.

Check this property in TLSCertValidate event handler to obtain the TLS certificate validation result.

TLSClientAuthRequested: Indicates whether the TLS server requests client authentication.

Check this property in TLSCertValidate event handler to find out whether the TLS server requests the client to provide the authentication certificate. If this property is set to true, provide your certificate via TLSClientChain property. Note that the component may fire this event more than once during each operation, as more than one TLS-enabled server may need to be contacted.

TLSValidationLog: Contains the log of the TLS server certificate validation.

Check this property in TLSCertValidate event handler to retrieve the validation log of the TLS server.

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

TspHashAlgorithm: Sets a specific hash algorithm for use with the timestamping service.

In default configuration CAdESSigner uses the same hash algorithm (taken from the HashAlgorithm property) for the main signature and any associated timestamps. Use this property to specify a different hash algorithm for the timestamp.

TspReqPolicy: Sets a request policy ID to include in the timestamping request.

Use this property to provide a specific request policy OID to include in the timestamping request. Use the standard human-readable OID notation (1.2.3.4.5).

UseArchivalTimestampV3: Whether to stick to archival timestamp V3 in the new signatures.

Set this property to True to use CAdES-X-L with Time Type 3.

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.

UsePSS: Whether to use RSASSA-PSS algorithm.

Although the RSASSA-PSS algorithm provides better security than a classic RSA scheme (PKCS#1-1.5), please take into account that RSASSA-PSS is a relatively new algorithm which may not be understood by older implementations.

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.

UseUndefSize: Toggles the use of indefinite/definite ASN.1 tag length encoding.

Switch this property off to make CAdESSigner use definite ASN.1 tag length encoding (explicit lengths) for signed data. The default setting is true, which makes the resulting ASN.1 structure use indefinite length encoding (30 80 ..data.. 00 00).

UseValidationCache: Enables or disable the use of the product-wide certificate chain validation cache.

Use this property to enable or disable the use of the global chain validation cache. If enabled, the component will consult the product-wide validation cache when validating the signing chains. Also, the outcomes of any new chain validations performed by the component, both interim and final, will be saved in the cache and available for re-use by any future validations. Disable this property to ignore the cache and always perform the validation from the fresh start.

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.

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.

none		No flush (caching only)
immediate		Immediate flush (real-time logging)
maxcount		Flush 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.

deleteolder		Delete older entries from the cache upon reaching LogMaxEventCount
keepolder		Keep 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:


none		No static DNS rules (default)
local		Local static DNS rules
global		Global 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.

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.
