KnownCertificates Property (TLSClient 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.

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.
Config Method (Tlsclient 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.
Connect Method (Tlsclient Class)
Establishes connection to a remote server.
Syntax
public void connect(String address, int port);
Remarks
Call this method to establish connection to a TLS server at Address:Port.
Disconnect Method (Tlsclient Class)
Disconnects from the server.
Syntax
public void disconnect();
Remarks
Call this method to close an active connection to the server.
DoAction Method (Tlsclient 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.
The unique identifier (case insencitive) of the action is provided in the ActionID parameter.
ActionParams contains the value of a single parameter, or a list of multiple parameters for the action in the form of PARAM1=VALUE1;PARAM2=VALUE2;....
ExportKeyMaterial Method (Tlsclient Class)
Derives key material from the session's master key using the TLS exporters scheme.
Syntax
public void exportKeyMaterial(String lbl, byte[] context, int len);
Remarks
Some protocols - for example, SRTP - use TLS exporters to derive their own session keys from the TLS master key. This method lets you employ the exporters scheme to obtain such keys, or to generate secure keys for your own needs from the current TLS session.
The exported keys depend on the master key, and are different for every TLS session. However, a client and server sharing a session will always end up with the same key material, as long as they use the same values of Lbl, Context, and Len.
ReceiveAllData Method (Tlsclient Class)
Reads data from the connection.
Syntax
public void receiveAllData(int size);
Remarks
Use this method to read Size bytes from the connection. The method will block until the requested number of bytes is received.
Use OutputBytes (or OutputString) to access the received data.
Use ReceiveData method to read all the data there is and return without waiting for the whole piece.
ReceiveData Method (Tlsclient Class)
Reads data from the connection.
Syntax
public void receiveData(int size);
Remarks
Use this method to read Size or less bytes from the connection. The method will read as much data is possible (but no more than Size) and return without blocking.
Use OutputBytes (or OutputString) to access the received data.
SendData Method (Tlsclient Class)
Sends a buffer to the server.
Syntax
public void sendData(byte[] buffer);
Remarks
Use this method to send a byte array to the server.
SendKeepAlive Method (Tlsclient Class)
Sends a keep-alive packet.
Syntax
public boolean sendKeepAlive();
Remarks
Use this method to send a keep-alive packet to the server. Keep alive is an empty packet; keep-alive signals sent occasionally can be used to keep connection up.
SendStream Method (Tlsclient Class)
Sends data contained in a stream to the server.
Syntax
public void sendStream(java.io.InputStream stream);
Remarks
Use this method to send the content of a stream to the server.
SendText Method (Tlsclient Class)
Sends a text string to the server.
Syntax
public void sendText(String text);
Remarks
Use this method to send a text string to the server.
StartTLS Method (Tlsclient Class)
Starts TLS negotiation on an established TCP connection.
Syntax
public void startTLS();
Remarks
Use this method to initiate a TLS handshake on a plain TCP connection. This method is handy for establishing explicit TLS connections manually.
StopTLS Method (Tlsclient Class)
Downgrades the protected connection to plain TCP.
Syntax
public void stopTLS(boolean quiet);
Remarks
Use this method to make the component stop encrypting session data with TLS and downgrade the connection to plain unencrypted TCP. Use the Quiet parameter to suppress sending of the close_notify alert upon closing the TLS session.
Error Event (Tlsclient Class)
Information about errors during data delivery.
Syntax
public class DefaultTlsclientEventListener implements TlsclientEventListener { ... public void error(TlsclientErrorEvent e) {} ... } public class TlsclientErrorEvent { public int errorCode; public String description; }
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 HTTPS section.
ExternalSign Event (Tlsclient Class)
Handles remote or external signing initiated by the SignExternal method or other source.
Syntax
public class DefaultTlsclientEventListener implements TlsclientEventListener { ... public void externalSign(TlsclientExternalSignEvent e) {} ... } public class TlsclientExternalSignEvent { public String operationId; public String hashAlgorithm; public String pars; public String data; public String signedData; }
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 (Tlsclient Class)
This event notifies the application about an underlying control flow event.
Syntax
public class DefaultTlsclientEventListener implements TlsclientEventListener { ... public void notification(TlsclientNotificationEvent e) {} ... } public class TlsclientNotificationEvent { public String eventID; public String eventParam; }
Remarks
The class 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.
TLSCertNeeded Event (Tlsclient Class)
Fires when a remote TLS party requests a client certificate.
Syntax
public class DefaultTlsclientEventListener implements TlsclientEventListener { ... public void TLSCertNeeded(TlsclientTLSCertNeededEvent e) {} ... } public class TlsclientTLSCertNeededEvent { public String host; public String CANames; }
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 (Tlsclient Class)
This event is fired upon receipt of the TLS server's certificate, allowing the user to control its acceptance.
Syntax
public class DefaultTlsclientEventListener implements TlsclientEventListener { ... public void TLSCertValidate(TlsclientTLSCertValidateEvent e) {} ... } public class TlsclientTLSCertValidateEvent { public String serverHost; public String serverIP; public boolean accept; }
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 (Tlsclient Class)
Fires when a TLS handshake with Host successfully completes.
Syntax
public class DefaultTlsclientEventListener implements TlsclientEventListener { ... public void TLSEstablished(TlsclientTLSEstablishedEvent e) {} ... } public class TlsclientTLSEstablishedEvent { public String host; public String version; public String ciphersuite; public byte[] connectionId; public boolean abort; }
Remarks
The class 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 (Tlsclient Class)
Fires when a new TLS handshake is initiated, before the handshake commences.
Syntax
public class DefaultTlsclientEventListener implements TlsclientEventListener { ... public void TLSHandshake(TlsclientTLSHandshakeEvent e) {} ... } public class TlsclientTLSHandshakeEvent { public String host; public boolean abort; }
Remarks
The class 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.
TLSPSK Event (Tlsclient Class)
Notifies the application about the PSK key exchange.
Syntax
public class DefaultTlsclientEventListener implements TlsclientEventListener { ... public void TLSPSK(TlsclientTLSPSKEvent e) {} ... } public class TlsclientTLSPSKEvent { public String host; public String hint; }
Remarks
The class fires this event to notify the application about the beginning of TLS-PSK key exchange with Host. The Hint parameter may be used by the server to identify the key or service to use. Use the PreSharedKey field of TLSSettings to provide the pre-shared key to the component.
TLSShutdown Event (Tlsclient Class)
Reports the graceful closure of a TLS connection.
Syntax
public class DefaultTlsclientEventListener implements TlsclientEventListener { ... public void TLSShutdown(TlsclientTLSShutdownEvent e) {} ... } public class TlsclientTLSShutdownEvent { public String host; }

|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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. |

RevocationCheck int |
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.
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. |
