The CertificateValidator class provides fine-grained validation of X.509 certificates.

Syntax

secureblackbox.Certificatevalidator

Remarks

This is a powerful and configurable class which can be used to validate all kinds of certificates and their chains.

The purpose of CertificateValidator is to validate certificate chains according to the X.509 specification. It supports a variety of technologies, including CRL and OCSP services, and can provide a comprehensive output on the certificate cryptographic validity, chain integrity, and trust levels. CertificateValidator is used internally in many other SecureBlackbox components, such as PDFSigner, HTTPClient, and OfficeVerifier.

To validate a certificate, please tune up the component as following:

Depending on the complexity of the chain and the configuration of the component, the validation routine may take certain amount of time. The validator reports chain validation progress using a selection of events, such as BeforeCertificateProcessing, AfterCertificateProcessing, and CRLDownloaded events. It may also ask you for missing objects using CRLNeeded or CACertificateNeeded events. In each such event handler you can access the currently validated certificate via the CurrentCertificate property, and the interim validity figures via the InterimValidationResult and InterimValidationDetails property.

The return of the Validate (or similar) method indicates the completion of the validation procedure. The outcome of the chain validation is represented with the two parameters:

  • ChainValidationResult reports the general validation outcome: valid, valid-but-untrusted, invalid, and unknown. As a rule, only the valid result can be taken as a good reason to consider the chain valid.
  • ChainValidationDetails provides insights into the factors that caused the validation to fail.
Apart from these two parameters, you can check the low-level validation details by consulting the ValidationLog property. The validation log is often a great source for tracking and reacting to various validation issues.

Note 1: On Windows, CertificateValidator can use CA and ROOT system stores to look for any missing CA certificates and trust anchors. No similar functionality is currently available for other platforms, so in most cases you must provide your own list of trusted and CA certificates via TrustedCertificates and KnownCertificates collections to have your chains validate fully in Linux and macOS projects.

Note 2: The OfflineMode property is a handy way to check the completeness of your revocation/validation information. When the offline mode is on, CertificateValidator won't go online for any missing certificates, CRLs, and OCSP responses. Paired with a switched-off UseSystemCertificates property, it allows to make sure that any content provided via KnownCertificates, KnownCRLs, and KnownOCSPs represents the complete set of validation information required to validate the chain.

This property is not available at design time.

KnownCertificates Property (CertificateValidator Class)

Additional certificates for chain validation.

Syntax


public CertificateList getKnownCertificates();


public void setKnownCertificates(CertificateList 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.

Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.

KnownCRLs Property (CertificateValidator Class)

Additional CRLs for chain validation.

Syntax


public CRLList getKnownCRLs();


public void setKnownCRLs(CRLList 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.

Please refer to the CRL type for a complete list of fields.

This property is not available at design time.

Please refer to the OCSPResponse type for a complete list of fields.

MaxValidationTime Property (CertificateValidator Class)

Specifies the maximum time the validation process may take.

Syntax


public int getMaxValidationTime();

OfflineMode Property (CertificateValidator Class)

Switches the class to the offline mode.

Syntax


public boolean isOfflineMode();


public void setOfflineMode(boolean 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.

Proxy Property (CertificateValidator Class)

The proxy server settings.

Syntax


public ProxySettings getProxy();


Remarks

Use this property to tune up the proxy server settings.

  public final static int crcAllOCSP = 3;
  public final static int crcAllCRLAndOCSP = 4;
  public final static int crcAnyCRL = 5;
  public final static int crcAnyOCSP = 6;
  public final static int crcAnyCRLOrOCSP = 7;
  public final static int crcAnyOCSPOrCRL = 8;

Default Value

1

Remarks

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

Certificate Revocation Lists (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.

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

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

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

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

SocketSettings Property (CertificateValidator Class)

Manages network connection settings.

Syntax


public SocketSettings getSocketSettings();


Remarks

Use this property to tune up network connection parameters.

This property is read-only.

Please refer to the SocketSettings type for a complete list of fields.

TLSClientChain Property (CertificateValidator Class)

The TLS client certificate chain.

Syntax


public CertificateList getTLSClientChain();


public void setTLSClientChain(CertificateList TLSClientChain);

Remarks

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

This property is not available at design time.

Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.

TLSServerChain Property (CertificateValidator Class)

The TLS server's certificate chain.

Syntax


public CertificateList getTLSServerChain();


Remarks

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

Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.

TLSSettings Property (CertificateValidator Class)

Manages TLS layer settings.

Syntax


public TLSSettings getTLSSettings();


Remarks

Use this property to tune up the TLS layer parameters.

This property is read-only.

Please refer to the TLSSettings type for a complete list of fields.

TrustedCertificates Property (CertificateValidator Class)

A list of trusted certificates for chain validation.

Syntax


public CertificateList getTrustedCertificates();


public void setTrustedCertificates(CertificateList 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.

Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.

Config Method (Certificatevalidator Class)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

public String config(String configurationString);

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

DoAction Method (Certificatevalidator Class)

Performs an additional action.

Syntax

public String doAction(String actionID, String actionParams);

Remarks

DoAction is a generic method available in every class. 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.

ResetCache Method (Certificatevalidator Class)

Clears all data contained in the validation cache.

Syntax

public void resetCache();

Remarks

Use this method to clear the validation cache (only makes sense if CacheValidationResults is on).

Terminate Method (Certificatevalidator Class)

Terminates the validation process.

Syntax

public void terminate();

Remarks

Call this method if you would like to stop the validation process.

Validate Method (Certificatevalidator Class)

Validates the certificate chain.

Syntax

public int validate();

Remarks

Use this method to validate the certificate chain that starts with Certificate.

The chain validation is a multi-step process which includes validation of each certificate in the chain up to the trusted anchor. The ultimate goal of this process is to establish the integrity of the chain and its trustworthiness.

Depending on the component tuneup, the validation process may differ drastically, even for the same certificate: it may be more or less rigorous, may include or exclude revocation checks, and may be more or less tolerant to minor chain issues.

When this process is completed, the final decision on the validity of the checked certificate is returned from this method, and also saved in ChainValidationResult property. Another property, ChainValidationDetails, provides insight into the reasons that contributed to that decision. Use ValidationLog to get a detailed step-by-step log of the entire validation process.

ValidateForSMIME Method (Certificatevalidator Class)

Validates an e-mail signing certificate.

Syntax

public int validateForSMIME(String emailAddress);

Remarks

Use this method to validate an e-mail security certificate.

This is a variant of Validate method that performs some additional e-mail specific checks, imposed by e-mail certificate rules. This method returns the overall chain validation result.

ValidateForSSL Method (Certificatevalidator Class)

Validates a server-side SSL/TLS certificate.

Syntax

public int validateForSSL(String URL, String IPAddress);

Remarks

Use this method to validate a server-side SSL/TLS certificate.

This is a variant of Validate method that performs some additional TLS-specific checks. It is important that you provide a correct URL or IPAddress for the check to return a reasonable and justified result.

This method returns the overall result of the chain validation.

AfterCertificateProcessing Event (Certificatevalidator Class)

Marks the end of a single certificate processing step.

Syntax

public class DefaultCertificatevalidatorEventListener implements CertificatevalidatorEventListener {
  ...
  public void afterCertificateProcessing(CertificatevalidatorAfterCertificateProcessingEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class CertificatevalidatorAfterCertificateProcessingEvent {
  public String cert;
  public int validity;
  public int validationDetails;
}

Remarks

This event is fired when the class has finished processing Cert, and returns its Validity status and ValidationDetails.

'Processing' consists of one or more 'validations' (with one CA certificate each), completion of each of which is reported via AfterCertificateValidation events. If a certificate is signed by a single CA (which is a typical case), processing is synonymous to validation.

You can influence the validation process by altering the provided validation outcome, such as changing the invalid status to valid. This can be done via InterimValidationResult and InterimValidationDetails properties.

Validity status:

cvtValid0The chain is valid

cvtValidButUntrusted1The chain is valid, but the root certificate is not trusted

cvtInvalid2The chain is not valid (some of certificates are revoked, expired, or contain an invalid signature)

cvtCantBeEstablished3The validity of the chain cannot be established because of missing or unavailable validation information (certificates, CRLs, or OCSP responses)

Validation details:

cvrBadData0x0001One or more certificates in the validation path are malformed

cvrRevoked0x0002One or more certificates are revoked

cvrNotYetValid0x0004One or more certificates are not yet valid

cvrExpired0x0008One or more certificates are expired

cvrInvalidSignature0x0010A certificate contains a non-valid digital signature

cvrNoKeyUsage0x0400A mandatory key usage is not enabled in one of the chain certificates

cvrBlocked0x0800One or more certificates are blocked

cvrFailure0x1000General validation failure

cvrChainLoop0x2000Chain loop: one of the CA certificates recursively signs itself

cvrWeakAlgorithm0x4000A weak algorithm is used in one of certificates or revocation elements

cvrUserEnforced0x8000The chain was considered invalid following intervention from a user code

AfterCertificateValidation Event (Certificatevalidator Class)

Marks the end of a single certificate validation step.

  ...
}

public class CertificatevalidatorAfterCertificateValidationEvent {
  public String cert;
  public String CACert;
  public int validity;
  public int validationDetails;
}

Remarks

This event is fired when the class has finished validation of Cert with CACert, and returns its Validity status and ValidationDetails.

'Validation', in this context, means a single validation of a certificate with its CA certificate. For certificates with multiple CAs, validations are grouped into 'processings.' Each processing, therefore, is a set of validations of the same certificate with all its CAs.

You can influence the validation process by altering the provided validation outcome, such as changing the invalid status to valid. This can be done via InterimValidationResult and InterimValidationDetails properties.

Validity status:

cvtValid0The chain is valid

cvtValidButUntrusted1The chain is valid, but the root certificate is not trusted

cvtInvalid2The chain is not valid (some of certificates are revoked, expired, or contain an invalid signature)

cvtCantBeEstablished3The validity of the chain cannot be established because of missing or unavailable validation information (certificates, CRLs, or OCSP responses)

Validation details:

cvrBadData0x0001One or more certificates in the validation path are malformed

cvrRevoked0x0002One or more certificates are revoked

cvrNotYetValid0x0004One or more certificates are not yet valid

cvrExpired0x0008One or more certificates are expired

cvrInvalidSignature0x0010A certificate contains a non-valid digital signature

cvrUnknownCA0x0020A CA certificate for one or more certificates has not been found (chain incomplete)

cvrBlocked0x0800One or more certificates are blocked

cvrFailure0x1000General validation failure

cvrChainLoop0x2000Chain loop: one of the CA certificates recursively signs itself

cvrWeakAlgorithm0x4000A weak algorithm is used in one of certificates or revocation elements

cvrUserEnforced0x8000The chain was considered invalid following intervention from a user code

Adjust UseDefaultTSLs property and/or CustomTSLs property before validating the signature/certificate to properly obtain TSP (Trust Service Provider) service status. Use Qualified* and TSL* config properties to obtain extended information.

The following qualified statuses are supported:

sqsUnknown0Qualified status unknown. Use config's QualifiedInfo setting to obtain service status URI.

sqsNone1None

sqsGranted2Granted

sqsWithdrawn3Withdrawn

sqsSetByNationalLaw4Set by national law

sqsDeprecatedByNationalLaw5Deprecated by national law

sqsRecognizedAtNationalLevel6Recognized at national level

sqsDeprecatedAtNationalLevel7Deprecated at national level

sqsUnderSupervision8Under supervision

sqsSupervisionInCessation9Supervision in cessation

sqsSupervisionCeased10Supervision ceased

sqsSupervisionRevoked11Supervision revoked

sqsAccredited12Accredited

Provides access to TLS extensions.

ForceResumeIfDestinationChanges
boolean

Default Value: False

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

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

PreSharedKeyCiphersuite
String

Default Value: ""

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

RenegotiationAttackPreventionMode
int

Default Value: 0

Selects renegotiation attack prevention mechanism.

The following options are available:

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

RevocationCheck
int

Default Value: 1

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

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

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

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

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

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

Constructors

public TLSSettings();

Creates a new TLSSettings object.

Config Settings (Certificatevalidator Class)

The class 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 class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

CertificateValidator Config Settings

CacheValidityTime:   Time period during which to keep validation cache.

The validity period of the cached validation results in milliseconds.

CheckStrongAlgorithmForTrusted:   Whether to check a 'strong' hash algorithm for trusted certificates.

Whether to check a 'strong' hash algorithm for trusted certificates.

CheckValidityPeriodForTrusted:   Whether to check validity period for trusted certificates.

Whether to check validity period for trusted certificates.

CrossCertificationValidationStrategy:   Defines how the cross certification validation is performed.

This property tells the class how to perform the cross certification validation. Supported values: csvSmart = 0 csvOptimistic = 1 csvPessimistic = 2 csvNoCrossCertification = 3

In the optimistic strategy, positive validation results are kept, and negative ones are ignored. If there are no good certificates in the chain, the validation proceeds using self-signed certificates. Smart is the same as optimistic.

In the pessimistic strategy, even one negative validation result makes the whole process to fail.

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).

ForceCompleteChainValidationForTrusted:   Whether to validate the whole chain.

Whether the whole certificate chain down to the CA certificate should be validated for trusted certificates.

ForceRevocationCheckForRoot:   Whether to check revocation info for root certificates.

Specifies if revocation information should be checked for the root certificate.

IgnoreBadOCSPChains:   Whether to ignore bad OCSP chains during validation.

Whether to ignore bad OCSP chains during validation.

IgnoreCABasicConstraints:   Whether to ignore the Basic Constraints extension for the CA certificates.

Whether to ignore the Basic Constraints extension for the CA certificates.

IgnoreCAKeyUsage:   Whether to ignore Key Usage extension for CA certificates.

Whether to ignore Key Usage extension for CA certificates.

IgnoreCANameConstraints:   Whether to ignore the Name Constraints extension for the CA certificates.

Whether to ignore the Name Constraints extension for the CA certificates.

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.

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.

IgnoreRevocationKeyUsage:   Whether to check the CA certs used to sign revocation info.

Whether the issuer (CA) certificates should be checked if their key usage extension (when available) allows using them to sign revocation information.

IgnoreSSLKeyUsage:   Whether to check the CA certs used in SSL/TLS.

Whether the issuer (CA) certificates should be checked if their key usage extension (when available) allows using these certificates in SSL protocol communications.

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.

LookupCRLByNameIfDPNotPresent:   Whether to look for implicit CRL Distribution Points.

Whether to look for implicit CRL Distribution Points (DPs) if no DPs are available.

PromoteLongOCSPResponses:   Whether long OCSP responses are requested.

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