Authenticator Module
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The Authenticator module specializes in user authentication.
Syntax
SecureBlackbox.Authenticator
Remarks
Authenticator provides capabilities for implementing the authenticating party (as opposed to the one being authenticated) of the authentication protocol.
Authenticator can be used in a variety of authentication scenarios, ranging from simple password checks to complicated multi-factor variants. It also supports authentication via a SBB-own DC protocol, which makes it a good pair for DCAuth control.
In default configuration the component uses the attached database of users to handle authentication requests. The authentication flow can be altered if needed to match specific authentication requirements.
In Authenticator's terms, the authentication process is divided into a sequence of atomic steps. Each step is characterized by a user providing an authentication token - such as a password or PIN - and the authenticator validating that token. Each validation step may result in one of the following outcomes:
- Authentication succeeded: the authentication has been completed with the positive outcome;
- Authentication failed: the authentication process has failed, the user didn't provide enough evidence to confirm they are who they claim they are;
- Further authentication is required: the authentication was partly successful, but the settings of the component or user details require further step(s) to be taken.
Use the following logic when integrating the Authenticator into your project:
- Whenever you receive an authentication request from a user, call the StartAuth method, passing the UserID as a parameter. This initiates the authentication procedure: the Authenticator control looks up the user in the Users database and picks the first authentication method. It then returns the Further authentication is required result and stores the details of the first authentication step in AuthInfo property. Apart from the information about the authentication method that is to be performed during this step, AuthInfo also contains a > value, which accumulates parameters and progress of the user's authentication flow. You can save the state value on this stage, and restore it later when a response from the user is received. With that in mind, class is stateless; you can save the current authentication state in a database, and return to it from a different context.
- Now that you have obtained Further authentication needed from StartAuth, it's time to check the > and request the corresponding token from the user. For example, if the method is 'password', you may present the user with a password dialog.
- Upon receiving a password (or other kind of authentication token) from the user, pass it to the ContinueAuth method, together with the state object
that you saved on the preceding step. The component will process the token and come up with one of the three results given above,
signifying the end of the first authentication step. If Further authentication is required result is returned, another authentication step
needs to be performed (either because a multi-factor authentication is configured for this user, or because an alternative authentication method
was chosen following failure of the previous attempt). If that is the case, follow the guidance for StartAuth-initiated step above.
Depending on the settings, many authentication steps may need to be performed, so your code may ultimately end up calling ContinueAuth many times.
class can be customized to use external user information sources instead of a predefined user database. AuthStart, AuthVerify, and AuthAttemptResult events provide an opportunity for your code to intervene into the authentication process by defining your own authentication procedures and validating authentication tokens manually.

public enum AuthenticatorRevocationChecks: Int32 { case crcNone = 0 case crcAuto = 1 case crcAllCRL = 2 case crcAllOCSP = 3 case crcAllCRLAndOCSP = 4 case crcAnyCRL = 5 case crcAnyOCSP = 6 case crcAnyCRLOrOCSP = 7 case crcAnyOCSPOrCRL = 8 }
@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=revocationCheck,setter=setRevocationCheck:) int revocationCheck; - (int)revocationCheck; - (void)setRevocationCheck :(int)newRevocationCheck;
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.
| 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.
SigningCertificate Property (Authenticator Module)

public var signingCertificate: Certificate { get {...} set {...} }
@property (nonatomic,readonly,assign,getter=signingCertBytes) NSData* signingCertBytes; - (NSData*)signingCertBytes; @property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=signingCertHandle,setter=setSigningCertHandle:) long long signingCertHandle; - (long long)signingCertHandle; - (void)setSigningCertHandle :(long long)newSigningCertHandle;
Default Value
""
Remarks
Use this property to specify the moment in time at which signature validity should be established. The time is in UTC. Leave the setting empty to stick to the default moment (either signature creation time, or current time).
The validity of the same signature may differ depending on the time point chosen due to temporal changes in chain validities, revocation statuses, and timestamp times.

Config Method (Authenticator Module)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
- (NSString*)config:(NSString*)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.
ContinueAuth Method (Authenticator Module)
Call this method to process an authentication token and proceed to the next authentication step.
Syntax
- (int)continueAuth:(NSString*)state :(NSString*)authToken;
Remarks
Call this method upon receiving an authentication token from the user to validate it and proceed to the next authentication step (or complete the authentication).
Pass the authentication state blob that you obtained at the beginning of the authentication step to the State parameter, and the authentication credential received from the user to the AuthToken parameter. The method will validate the token and return one of the following results:
| arAuthFurtherAuthNeeded | 0 |
| arAuthSucceeded | 1 |
| arAuthFailed | 2 |
The further authentication needed result indicates that the user is expected to go through at least one more authentication step. Check AuthInfo property to find out which authentication method should be used on that step, and request the relevant authentication token from the user. Upon receiving that new token, call ContinueAuth again - and continue running this loop until authentication succeeded or authentication failed result is returned.
DoAction Method (Authenticator Module)
Performs an additional action.
Syntax
- (NSString*)doAction:(NSString*)actionID :(NSString*)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 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;....
StartAuth Method (Authenticator Module)
Initiates an authentication process.
Syntax
Remarks
Call this method to start an authentication process for UserID.
The authentication process may consist of multiple atomic steps. Each step represents a single authentication transaction, such as provision of a password, a PIN, or a one-time token. The exact authentication step sequence for the user is chosen according to the following rules:
- If the user is found in the Users database, all authentication methods specified for that user are activated;
- otherwise, the methods assigned to DefaultAuthMethods are activated;
- AuthStart event is thrown, allowing the application to tune up the selection of authentication methods if needed.
- the first method from the list is initiated.
This method may return one of the three results:
| arAuthFurtherAuthNeeded | 0 |
| arAuthSucceeded | 1 |
| arAuthFailed | 2 |
The authentication succeeded result is returned if the authentication method selection procedure completed with an empty method list. A typical result of this method though is further authentication required, which indicates that the next authentication method has kicked off. Use rpAuthInfo; property to find out which authentication method should be used on this step, and solicit the relevant authentication token from the user. Pass the received token to the ContinueAuth method for validation.
AuthAttemptResult Event (Authenticator Module)
Reports the outcome of an authentication attempt.
Syntax
func onAuthAttemptResult(userID: String, authMethod: String, authRes: inout Int32, remainingAuthMethods: inout String)
- (void)onAuthAttemptResult:(NSString*)userID :(NSString*)authMethod :(int*)authRes :(NSString**)remainingAuthMethods;
Remarks
This event follows a call to ContinueAuth method and reports the user's updated authentication status following the token verification.
The updated status is reported via the AuthRes parameter, and can take one of the following values:
| arAuthFurtherAuthNeeded | 0 |
| arAuthSucceeded | 1 |
| arAuthFailed | 2 |
The RemainingAuthMethods parameter lists the authentication methods that the user is yet to go through. The application can change either of AuthRes and RemainingAuthMethods in the event handler to alter the authentication flow.
AuthAttemptStart Event (Authenticator Module)
Signifies the start of an authentication attempt.
Syntax
- (void)onAuthAttemptStart:(NSString*)userID :(NSString*)authMethod :(NSString*)remainingAuthMethods;
Remarks
This event reports the start of an atomic authentication step. The AuthMethod parameter contains the authentication method that has started. The following authentication methods are currently supported, but the application may define its own methods in AuthStart, and tune them up in CustomAuthStart:
- password
- otp-h
- otp-t
- dcauth
This event is thrown from StartAuth and ContinueAuth methods.
AuthStart Event (Authenticator Module)
Signifies the start of an authentication process.
Syntax
func onAuthStart(userID: String, authMethods: inout String)
- (void)onAuthStart:(NSString*)userID :(NSString**)authMethods;
Remarks
This event is fired in response to a StartAuth call, and signifies the start of a (potentially, multi-step) authentication process for UserID. The AuthMethods parameter list the methods to be performed for the user. The application may customize them as needed.
The following default authentication methods are supported:
- password
- otp-h
- otp-t
- dcauth
The application can define its own authentication methods if needed.
This event is only fired once per user authentication process, at the very start of it. See AuthAttemptStart for per-step notification.
AuthVerify Event (Authenticator Module)
Requests the application to validate an authentication token.
Syntax
func onAuthVerify(userID: String, authMethod: String, authToken: String, authMethodData: String, valid: inout Bool)
- (void)onAuthVerify:(NSString*)userID :(NSString*)authMethod :(NSString*)authToken :(NSString*)authMethodData :(int*)valid;
Remarks
Class fires this event to ask the application to validate an authentication token that it can't validate automatically. This can happen if UserID was not found in the user database or a custom authentication method is used.
AuthMethod and AuthToken specify the authentication method being used and the authentication token provided by the user. AuthMethodData contains an application-specific data provided by the application at the beginning of the authentication step.
An event handler subscribed to this event should validate the authentication token provided by the user and set the Valid parameter accordingly.
CustomAuthStart Event (Authenticator Module)
Reports the beginning of a custom authentication method.
Syntax
func onCustomAuthStart(userID: String, authMethod: String, authMethodPars: inout String, authMethodData: inout String)
- (void)onCustomAuthStart:(NSString*)userID :(NSString*)authMethod :(NSString**)authMethodPars :(NSString**)authMethodData;
Remarks
This event marks the start of an authentication method not supported by class internally and requests authentication parameters from the application.
Class currently supports the following authentication methods:
- password
- otp-h
- otp-t
- dcauth
The application may also use any number of custom authentication method it wants. Each such method is identified by a unique string name (such as 'pin', 'fingerprint', or 'fingerprint-v2'). It may specify them in DefaultAuthMethods property, or provide on the fly via AuthStart event.
The event handler may return authentication parameters and application-specific data to be associated with the authentication attempt via AuthMethodPars and AuthMethodData parameters.
Error Event (Authenticator Module)
Reports information about errors during authentication.
Syntax
- (void)onError:(int)errorCode :(NSString*)description;
Remarks
The event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during user authentication.
ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error.
Notification Event (Authenticator Module)
This event notifies the application about an underlying control flow event.
Syntax
- (void)onNotification:(NSString*)eventID :(NSString*)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.

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. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
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 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:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|
revocationCheck RevocationCheckKinds |
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. |

Config Settings (Authenticator Module)
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.DCAuthenticator Config Settings | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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.Set this property to enable or disable cookies caching for the class.
Supported values are:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cookies: Gets or sets local cookies for the class (supported for HTTPClient, RESTClient and SOAPClient only).Use this property to get cookies from the internal cookie storage of the class 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 classes 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 classes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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