GetSignatureType Method (MessageVerifier Component)
Determines the signature kind.
Syntax
function GetSignatureType(): Integer;
Remarks
Use this method to determine the kind of the signature stored in InputFile (InputStream).
Possible values: 1 - detached PKCS#1 signature; 2 - detached PKCS#7 signature; 3 - enveloping PKCS#7 signature.
Verify Method (MessageVerifier Component)
Verifies digitally signed data.
Syntax
procedure Verify();
Remarks
PKCS#7 and its successor, CMS, support two types of signatures: (1) enveloping signatures, where the signed data and its signature are combined in the same message, and (2) detached signatures, where the signature is stored as a separate entity. This method verifies enveloped signatures and extracts data contained in them. Use VerifyDetached to verify detached signatures.
This method expects the enveloping signature to be provided via InputFile or InputStream properties.
Note that this method only checks the integrity of the signature, i.e., that it is signed with the claimed certificate and has not been altered. It does not validate the signing certificate chain. To validate the certificate chain, either use CertificateValidator component together with MessageVerifier, or consider using CAdESVerifier component instead.
VerifyDetached Method (MessageVerifier Component)
Verifies a detached signature.
Syntax
procedure VerifyDetached();
Remarks
Use this method to verify detached signatures. Pass the signature via InputFile (or InputStream) property, and the original data via DataFile (DataStream).
Error Event (MessageVerifier Component)

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.
Notification Event (MessageVerifier 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.
SignatureFound Event (MessageVerifier Component)
Signifies the start of signature validation.
Syntax
type TSignatureFoundEvent = procedure ( Sender: TObject; const IssuerRDN: String; SerialNumber: TBytes; SubjectKeyID: TBytes; CertFound: Boolean; var ValidateSignature: Boolean; var ValidateChain: Boolean ) of Object;
property OnSignatureFound: TSignatureFoundEvent read FOnSignatureFound write FOnSignatureFound;
Remarks
This event tells the application that signature validation is about to start, and provides the details about the signer's certificate via its IssuerRDN, SerialNumber, and SubjectKeyID parameters. It fires for every signature located in the verified document or message.
The CertFound is set to True if the component has found the needed certificate in one of the known locations, and to False otherwise, in which case you must provide it manually via KnownCertificates property.
Signature validation consists of two independent stages: cryptographic signature validation and chain validation. Separate validation results are reported for each, with SignatureValidationResult and ChainValidationResult properties respectively.
Use the ValidateSignature and ValidateChain parameters to tell the verifier which stages to include in the validation.

Remarks
This event is fired upon the completion of the signature validation routine, and reports the respective validation result.
Use the IssuerRDN, SerialNumber, and/or SubjectKeyID parameters to identify the signing certificate.
ValidationResult is set to 0 if the validation has been successful, or to a non-zero value in case of a validation failure.
| svtValid | 0 | The signature is valid |
| svtUnknown | 1 | Signature validity is unknown |
| svtCorrupted | 2 | The signature is corrupted |
| svtSignerNotFound | 3 | Failed to acquire the signing certificate. The signature cannot be validated. |
| svtFailure | 4 | General failure |
TimestampFound Event (MessageVerifier Component)
Signifies the start of a timestamp validation routine.
Syntax
type TTimestampFoundEvent = procedure ( Sender: TObject; const IssuerRDN: String; SerialNumber: TBytes; SubjectKeyID: TBytes; CertFound: Boolean; var ValidateTimestamp: Boolean; var ValidateChain: Boolean ) of Object;
property OnTimestampFound: TTimestampFoundEvent read FOnTimestampFound write FOnTimestampFound;
Remarks
This event fires for every timestamp identified during signature processing, and reports the details about the signer's certificate via its IssuerRDN, SerialNumber, and SubjectKeyID parameters.
The CertFound is set to True if the component has found the needed certificate in one of the known locations, and to False otherwise, in which case you must provide it manually via KnownCertificates property.
Just like with signature validation, timestamp validation consists of two independent stages: cryptographic signature validation and chain validation. Separate validation results are reported for each, with SignatureValidationResult and ChainValidationResult properties respectively.
Use the ValidateSignature and ValidateChain parameters to tell the verifier which stages to include in the validation.
TimestampValidated Event (MessageVerifier Component)
Reports the completion of the timestamp validation routine.
Syntax
type TTimestampValidatedEvent = procedure ( Sender: TObject; const IssuerRDN: String; SerialNumber: TBytes; SubjectKeyID: TBytes; const Time: String; ValidationResult: Integer; ChainValidationResult: Integer; ChainValidationDetails: Integer ) of Object;
property OnTimestampValidated: TTimestampValidatedEvent read FOnTimestampValidated write FOnTimestampValidated;
Remarks

Configuration Settings (MessageVerifier 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.MessageVerifier Configuration Settings | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| TempPath: Path for storing temporary files.This setting specifies an absolute path to the location on disk where temporary files are stored. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Base Configuration Settings | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CheckKeyIntegrityBeforeUse:
Enables or disable private key integrity check before use.This global property enables or disables private key material check before each signing operation. This slows down performance a bit,
but prevents a selection of attacks on RSA keys where keys with unknown origins are used.
You can switch this property off to improve performance if your project only uses known, good private keys. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CookieCaching:
Specifies whether a cookie cache should be used for HTTP(S) transports.Set this property to enable or disable cookies caching for the component.
Supported values are:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cookies: Gets or sets local cookies for the component (supported for HTTPClient, RESTClient and SOAPClient only).Use this property to get cookies from the internal cookie storage of the component and/or restore them back between application sessions. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| DefDeriveKeyIterations: Specifies the default key derivation algorithm iteration count.This global property sets the default number of iterations for all supported key derivation algorithms. Note that you can provide the required number of iterations by using properties of the relevant key generation component; this global setting is used in scenarios where specific iteration count is not or cannot be provided. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| EnableClientSideSSLFFDHE:
Enables or disables finite field DHE key exchange support in TLS clients.This global property enables or disables support for finite field DHE key exchange methods in TLS clients. FF DHE is a slower
algorithm if compared to EC DHE; enabling it may result in slower connections.
This setting only applies to sessions negotiated with TLS version 1.3. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| GlobalCookies: Gets or sets global cookies for all the HTTP transports.Use this property to get cookies from the GLOBAL cookie storage or restore them back between application sessions. These cookies will be used by all the components that have its CookieCaching property set to "global". | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| HttpUserAgent: Specifies the user agent name to be used by all HTTP clients.This global setting defines the User-Agent field of the HTTP request provides information about the software that initiates the request. This value will be used by all the HTTP clients including the ones used internally in other components. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| LogDestination:
Specifies the debug log destination.Contains a comma-separated list of values that specifies where debug log should be dumped.
Supported values are:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| LogDetails:
Specifies the debug log details to dump.Contains a comma-separated list of values that specifies which debug log details to dump.
Supported values are:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| LogFile: Specifies the debug log filename.Use this property to provide a path to the log file. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| LogFilters:
Specifies the debug log filters.Contains a comma-separated list of value pairs ("name:value") that describe filters.
Supported filter names are:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
LogFlushMode:
Specifies the log flush mode.Use this property to set the log flush mode. The following values are defined:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| LogLevel:
Specifies the debug log level.Use this property to provide the desired debug log level.
Supported values are:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| LogMaxEventCount:
Specifies the maximum number of events to cache before further action is taken.Use this property to specify the log event number threshold. This threshold may have different effects,
depending on the rotation setting and/or the flush mode.
The default value of this setting is 100. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
LogRotationMode:
Specifies the log rotation mode.Use this property to set the log rotation mode. The following values are defined:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Tag: Allows to store any custom data.Use this config property to store any custom data. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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. |
