HashFunction Class

Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors

The HashFunction class implements a wide variety of algorithms for message hashing.

Syntax

secureblackbox.Hashfunction

Remarks

HashFunction allows you to hash messages using a variety of industry standard hashing algorithms. Algorithms of both Hash and HMAC type are supported.

You can feed your data to HashFunction in one go, or in chunks. Use Hash method to initialize the hash function, pass the buffer, and calculate the hash in one line of code. Alternatively, use Reset, Update, and Finish in sequence to perform each of those steps individually. You can call Update (and its UpdateFile and UpdateStream variants) repeatedly between Reset and Finish, effectively passing the data in a number of portions: // Feeding the data in one go: Hashfunction hf = new Hashfunction(); hf.Algorithm = "SHA256"; byte[] hash = hf.Hash(buffer); // Feeding data chunk by chunk: Hashfunction hf = new Hashfunction(); hf.Algorithm = "SHA256"; hf.Reset(); hf.Update(buffer1); hf.Update(buffer2); hf.Update(buffer3); byte[] hash = hf.Finish();

To use keyed HMAC, you need to provide the secret key first. Use CryptoKeyManager to create and initialize the key object: Cryptokeymanager km = new Cryptokeymanager(); km.ImportBytes(hmacKey, Constants.kffDER, "SHA256", "", "", Constants.ktSecret); Hashfunction hf = new Hashfunction(); hf.Algorithm = "SHA256"; hf.Key = km.Key; byte[] hash = hf.Hash(buffer);

Use OutputEncoding to set the desired encoding method.

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.

Syntax

public void reset();

Remarks

Reset resets the context of the hash function, discarding any data passed to it previously.

Use this method to restart the hash calculation process from scratch.

This method does not affect one-go methods like Hash or HashStream; they reset the hash function context automatically.

Update Method (Hashfunction Class)

Feeds a chunk of data to the hash function.

Syntax

public void update(byte[] buffer);

Remarks

This method feeds Buffer to the hash function. Call this method repeatedly to pass your data to the hash function chunk by chunk.

UpdateFile Method (Hashfunction Class)

Feeds the contents of a file to the hash function.

Syntax

public void updateFile(String sourceFile);

Remarks

Call this method to pass the contents of a file to the hash function. You can call this function repeatedly and mix it with Update to feed the hash function with many separate chunks of data.

Remember to initialize the hash function with an Reset call before starting hashing the data. Once all the data chunks have been submitted, finalize the hash function and obtain the resulting message digest by calling Finish.

UpdateStream Method (Hashfunction Class)

Feeds the contents of a stream to the hash function.

Syntax

public void updateStream();

Remarks

Call this method to pass the contents of a stream to the hash function. You can call this function repeatedly and mix it with Update to feed the hash function with many separate chunks of data.

Bits
int

The length of the key in bits.

Curve
String

This property specifies the name of the curve the EC key is built on.

Exportable
boolean

Returns True if the key is exportable (can be serialized into an array of bytes), and False otherwise.

ID
byte[]

Provides access to a storage-specific key identifier. Key identifiers are used by cryptographic providers to refer to a particular key and/or distinguish between different keys. They are typically unique within a storage, but there is no guarantee that a particular cryptoprovider will conform to that (or will assign any key IDs at all).

IV
byte[]

The initialization vector (IV) of a symmetric key. This is normally a public part of a symmetric key, the idea of which is to introduce randomness to the encrypted data and/or serve as a first block in chaining ciphers.

Key
byte[]

The byte array representation of the key. This may not be available for non-Exportable keys.

Nonce
byte[]

A nonce value associated with a key. It is similar to IV, but its only purpose is to introduce randomness.

Private
boolean

Returns True if the object hosts a private key, and False otherwise.

Public
boolean

Returns True if the object hosts a public key, and False otherwise.

Subject
byte[]

Returns the key subject. This is a cryptoprovider-dependent value, which normally aims to provide some user-friendly insight into the key owner.

Symmetric
boolean

Returns True if the object contains a symmetric key, and False otherwise.

Valid
boolean

Returns True if this key is valid. The term Valid highly depends on the kind of the key being stored. A symmetric key is considered valid if its length fits the algorithm being set. The validity of an RSA key also ensures that the RSA key elements (primes, exponents, and modulus) are consistent.

Constructors

public CryptoKey();

Creates an empty crypto key object.

JWSettings Type

This container represents JSON web security settings.

Remarks

This type contains properties specific to JSON Web Security.

Use this property to set the log flush mode. The following values are defined:


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.

Supported values are:


none		None (by default)
fatal		Severe errors that cause premature termination.
error		Other runtime errors or unexpected conditions.
warning		Use of deprecated APIs, poor use of API, 'almost' errors, other runtime situations that are undesirable or unexpected, but not necessarily "wrong".
info		Interesting runtime events (startup/shutdown).
debug		Detailed information on flow of through the system.
trace		More detailed information.

LogMaxEventCount: Specifies the maximum number of events to cache before further action is taken.

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 class. 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 class) 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 class is set to "local", the property returns/restores the rules from/to the internal storage of the class. If StaticDNS of the class 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.
