- (BOOL)ignoreChainValidationErrors;
- (void)setIgnoreChainValidationErrors :(BOOL)newIgnoreChainValidationErrors;

Default Value

False

Remarks

If this property is set to True, any errors emerging during certificate chain validation will be ignored. This setting may be handy if the purpose of validation is the creation of an LTV signature, and the validation is performed in an environment that doesn't trust the signer's certificate chain.

InputBytes Property (OfficeSigner Module)

Use this property to pass the input to module in byte array form.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var inputBytes: Data {
  get {...}

- (long long)knownCertHandle:(int)knownCertIndex;
- (void)setKnownCertHandle:(int)knownCertIndex :(long long)newKnownCertHandle;

Default Value

""

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 class manually.

The purpose of the certificates to be added to this collection is roughly equivalent to that of the Intermediate Certification Authorities system store in Windows.

Do not add trust anchors or root certificates to this collection: add them to TrustedCertificates instead.

KnownCRLs Property (OfficeSigner Module)

Additional CRLs for chain validation.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

  get {...}
  set {...}
}

public enum OfficesignerRevocationChecks: 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 (CRLs) and Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responses serve the same purpose of ensuring that the certificate had not been revoked by the Certificate Authority (CA) at the time of use.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.

This setting controls the way the revocation checks are performed for every certificate in the chain. 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 the faster OCSP route and only demand one source to succeed) is a good choice for most typical validation environments. The "crcAll*" modes are much stricter, and may be used in scenarios where bulletproof validity information is essential.

Note: If no CRL or OCSP endpoints are provided by the CA, the revocation check will be considered successful. This is because the CA chose not to supply revocation information for its certificates, meaning they are considered irrevocable.

Note: Within each of the above settings, if any retrieved CRL or OCSP response indicates that the certificate has been revoked, the revocation check fails.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var trustedCertificates: Array<Certificate> {
  get {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=trustedCertCount,setter=setTrustedCertCount:) int trustedCertCount;

- (int)trustedCertCount;
- (void)setTrustedCertCount :(int)newTrustedCertCount;

- (NSData*)trustedCertBytes:(int)trustedCertIndex;

- (long long)trustedCertHandle:(int)trustedCertIndex;
- (void)setTrustedCertHandle:(int)trustedCertIndex :(long long)newTrustedCertHandle;

Default Value

""

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 as that of the 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.

ValidationMoment Property (OfficeSigner Module)

The time point at which signature validity is to be established.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var validationMoment: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=validationMoment,setter=setValidationMoment:) NSString* validationMoment;

- (NSString*)validationMoment;
- (void)setValidationMoment :(NSString*)newValidationMoment;

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 the signature creation time or the 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.

AddTimestampValidationData Method (OfficeSigner Module)

Use this method to add timestamp validation data to the signature.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func addTimestampValidationData(sigIndex: Int32) throws -> Void

- (void)addTimestampValidationData:(int)sigIndex;

Config Method (OfficeSigner Module)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func config(configurationString: String) throws -> String

- (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.

DoAction Method (OfficeSigner Module)

Performs an additional action.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func doAction(actionID: String, actionParams: String) throws -> String

- (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 (case insensitive) 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;....

ExtractAsyncData Method (OfficeSigner Module)

Extracts user data from the DC signing service response.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func extractAsyncData(asyncReply: String) throws -> String

- (NSString*)extractAsyncData:(NSString*)asyncReply;

Remarks

Call this method before finalizing the asynchronous signing process to extract the data passed to the ExternalCrypto.Data property on the pre-signing stage.

The Data parameter can be used to pass some state or document identifier along with the signing request from the pre-signing to the completion async stage.

Open Method (OfficeSigner Module)

Opens a document for signing or updating.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func open() throws -> Void

- (void)open;

Remarks

Revalidate Method (OfficeSigner Module)

Revalidates a signature in accordance with current settings.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func revalidate(sigIndex: Int32) throws -> Void

- (void)revalidate:(int)sigIndex;

Remarks

Use this method to re-validate a signature in the opened Office document.

Sign Method (OfficeSigner Module)

Calculates the signature value.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func sign() throws -> Void

- (void)sign;

Remarks

Call this method to generate a signature over the document.

SignAsyncBegin Method (OfficeSigner Module)

Initiates the asynchronous signing operation.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func signAsyncBegin() throws -> String

- (NSString*)signAsyncBegin;

Remarks

When using the DC framework, call this method to initiate the asynchronous signing process. Upon completion, a pre-signed copy of the document will be saved in OutputFile (or OutputStream). Keep the pre-signed copy somewhere local, and pass the returned string ('the request state') to the DC processor for handling.

Upon receiving the response state from the DC processor, assign the path to the pre-signed copy to InputFile (or InputStream), and call SignAsyncEnd to finalize the signing.

Note that depending on the signing method and DC configuration used, you may still need to provide the public part of the signing certificate via the SigningCertificate property.

Use the ExternalCrypto.AsyncDocumentID property to supply a unique document ID to include in the request. This is helpful when creating batches of multiple async requests, as it allows you to pass the whole response batch to SignAsyncEnd and expect it to recover the correct response from the batch automatically.

AsyncState is a message of the distributed cryptography (DC) protocol. The DC protocol is based on the exchange of async states between a DC client (an application that wants to sign a PDF, XML, or Office document) and a DC server (an application that controls access to the private key). An async state can carry one or more signing requests, comprised of document hashes, or one or more signatures produced over those hashes.

In a typical scenario you get a client-side async state from the SignAsyncBegin method. This state contains document hashes to be signed on the DC server side. You then send the async state to the DC server (often represented by the DCAuth class), which processes it and produces a matching signature state. The async state produced by the server is then passed to the SignAsyncEnd method.

SignAsyncEnd Method (OfficeSigner Module)

Completes the asynchronous signing operation.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func signAsyncEnd(asyncReply: String) throws -> Void

- (void)signAsyncEnd:(NSString*)asyncReply;

Remarks

When using the DC framework, call this method upon receiving the response state from the DC processor to complete the asynchronous signing process.

Before calling this method, assign the path to the pre-signed copy of the document obtained from the prior SignAsyncBegin call to InputFile (or InputStream). The method will embed the signature into the pre-signed document, and save the complete signed document to OutputFile (or OutputStream).

Note that depending on the signing method and DC configuration used, you may still need to provide the public part of the signing certificate via the SigningCertificate property.

Use the ExternalCrypto.AsyncDocumentID parameter to pass a specific document ID if using batched AsyncReply. If used, it should match the value provided on the pre-signing (SignAsyncBegin) stage.

AsyncState is a message of the distributed cryptography (DC) protocol. The DC protocol is based on the exchange of async states between a DC client (an application that wants to sign a PDF, XML, or Office document) and a DC server (an application that controls access to the private key). An async state can carry one or more signing requests, comprised of document hashes, or one or more signatures produced over those hashes.

In a typical scenario you get a client-side async state from the SignAsyncBegin method. This state contains document hashes to be signed on the DC server side. You then send the async state to the DC server (often represented by the DCAuth class), which processes it and produces a matching signature state. The async state produced by the server is then passed to the SignAsyncEnd method.

SignExternal Method (OfficeSigner Module)

Signs the document using an external signing facility.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func signExternal() throws -> Void

- (void)signExternal;

Remarks

Call this method to delegate the low-level signing operation to an external, remote, or custom signing engine. This method is useful if the signature has to be made by a device accessible through a custom or non-standard signing interface.

When all preparations are done and hash is computed, the class fires ExternalSign event which allows to pass the hash value for signing.

Timestamp Method (OfficeSigner Module)

Use this method to add an timestamp.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func timestamp(sigIndex: Int32, timestampType: Int32) throws -> Void

- (void)timestamp:(int)sigIndex :(int)timestampType;

Remarks

Call this method to timestamp the signature. Use the TimestampServer property to provide the address of the TSA (Time Stamping Authority) server which should be used for timestamping. This method could be called separately or in SignatureValidated event handler after successful signature validation. Use the TimestampType parameter to specify the type of timestamp to create

Supported timestamp types:

Upgrade Method (OfficeSigner Module)

Upgrades existing XAdES signature to a new form.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func upgrade(sigIndex: Int32, toForm: Int32) throws -> Void

- (void)upgrade:(int)sigIndex :(int)toForm;

Remarks

XAdES standard defines a number of different 'forms' of signatures which can be used for different purposes. Use this method to upgrade XAdES signature to a new form specified by ToForm. Signatures can normally be upgraded from less sophisticated levels (BES, EPES) to more sophisticated (T, C, X, X-L, A).

The supported forms are:

ChainElementDownload Event (OfficeSigner Module)

Fires when there is a need to download a chain element from an online source.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onChainElementNeeded(kind: Int32, certRDN: String, caCertRDN: String)

- (void)onChainElementNeeded:(int)kind :(NSString*)certRDN :(NSString*)CACertRDN;

Remarks

Subscribe to this event to be notified about missing validation elements. Use the KnownCRLs, KnownCertificates, and KnownOCSPs properties in the event handler to provide the missing piece.

ChainElementStore Event (OfficeSigner Module)

This event is fired when a chain element (certificate, CRL, or OCSP response) should be stored along with a signature.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onChainElementStore(kind: Int32, body: Data, uri: inout String)

- (void)onChainElementStore:(int)kind :(NSData*)body :(NSString**)URI;

Remarks

This event could occur if you are verifying XAdES-C form or higher. The Body parameter contains the element in binary form that should be stored along with a signature. Use the URI parameter to provide an URI of the stored element.

ChainValidated Event (OfficeSigner Module)

Reports the completion of a certificate chain validation.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onChainValidated(index: Int32, subjectRDN: String, validationResult: Int32, validationDetails: Int32)

- (void)onChainValidated:(int)index :(NSString*)subjectRDN :(int)validationResult :(int)validationDetails;

Remarks

This event is fired when a certificate chain validation routine completes. SubjectRDN identifies the owner of the validated certificate.

ValidationResult set to 0 (zero) indicates successful chain validation.

ChainValidationProgress Event (OfficeSigner Module)

This event is fired multiple times during chain validation to report various stages of the validation procedure.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onChainValidationProgress(eventKind: String, certRDN: String, caCertRDN: String, action: inout Int32)

- (void)onChainValidationProgress:(NSString*)eventKind :(NSString*)certRDN :(NSString*)CACertRDN :(int*)action;

Remarks

Subscribe to this event to be notified about chain validation progress. Use the Action parameter to alter the validation flow.

The EventKind parameter reports the nature of the event being reported. The CertRDN and CACertRDN parameters report the distinguished names of the certificates that are relevant for the event invocation (one or both can be empty, depending on EventKind). Use the Action parameter to adjust the validation flow.

DocumentLoaded Event (OfficeSigner Module)

This event is fired when the document has been loaded into memory.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onDocumentLoaded(cancel: inout Bool)

- (void)onDocumentLoaded:(int*)cancel;

Remarks

The handler for this event is a good place to check document properties, which may be useful when preparing the signature, for example, the document format.

Set Cancel to true to terminate document processing on this stage.

Error Event (OfficeSigner Module)

Information about errors during signing.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onError(errorCode: Int32, description: String)

- (void)onError:(int)errorCode :(NSString*)description;

Remarks

This event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during the office document processing.

ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error.

ExternalSign Event (OfficeSigner Module)

Handles remote or external signing initiated by the SignExternal method or other source.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onExternalSign(operationId: String, hashAlgorithm: String, pars: String, data: String, signedData: inout String)

- (void)onExternalSign:(NSString*)operationId :(NSString*)hashAlgorithm :(NSString*)pars :(NSString*)data :(NSString**)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 class via the SignedData parameter.

OperationId provides a comment about the operation and its origin. It depends on the exact class being used, and may be empty. HashAlgorithm specifies the hash algorithm being used for the operation, and Pars contains algorithm-dependent parameters.

The class uses base16 (hex) encoding for the 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 the .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 (OfficeSigner Module)

This event notifies the application about an underlying control flow event.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onNotification(eventID: String, eventParam: String)

- (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 class. 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 the EventID parameter. EventParam contains any parameters accompanying the occurrence. Depending on the type of the class, the exact action it is performing, or the document being processed, one or both may be omitted.

This class can fire this event with the following EventID values:

SignatureFound Event (OfficeSigner Module)

Signifies the start of signature validation.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onSignatureFound(index: Int32, issuerRDN: String, serialNumber: Data, subjectKeyID: Data, certFound: Bool, validateSignature: inout Bool, validateChain: inout Bool)

- (void)onSignatureFound:(int)index :(NSString*)issuerRDN :(NSData*)serialNumber :(NSData*)subjectKeyID :(BOOL)certFound :(int*)validateSignature :(int*)validateChain;

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 parameter is set to True if the class has found the needed certificate in one of the known locations, and to False otherwise, in which case you must provide it manually via the KnownCertificates property.

Signature validation consists of two independent stages: cryptographic signature validation and chain validation. Separate validation results are reported for each, with the and properties respectively.

Use the ValidateSignature and ValidateChain parameters to tell the verifier which stages to include in the validation.

SignatureValidated Event (OfficeSigner Module)

Marks the completion of the signature validation routine.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onSignatureValidated(index: Int32, issuerRDN: String, serialNumber: Data, subjectKeyID: Data, validationResult: Int32)

- (void)onSignatureValidated:(int)index :(NSString*)issuerRDN :(NSData*)serialNumber :(NSData*)subjectKeyID :(int)validationResult;

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.

TimestampFound Event (OfficeSigner Module)

Signifies the start of a timestamp validation routine.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onTimestampFound(index: Int32, issuerRDN: String, serialNumber: Data, subjectKeyID: Data, certFound: Bool, validateTimestamp: inout Bool, validateChain: inout Bool)

- (void)onTimestampFound:(int)index :(NSString*)issuerRDN :(NSData*)serialNumber :(NSData*)subjectKeyID :(BOOL)certFound :(int*)validateTimestamp :(int*)validateChain;

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 parameter is set to True if the class has found the needed certificate in one of the known locations, and to False otherwise, in which case you must provide it manually via the 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 the and properties respectively.

Use the ValidateSignature and ValidateChain parameters to tell the verifier which stages to include in the validation.

TimestampRequest Event (OfficeSigner Module)

Fires when the component is ready to request a timestamp from an external TSA.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onTimestampRequest(tsa: String, timestampRequest: String, timestampResponse: inout String, suppressDefault: inout Bool)

- (void)onTimestampRequest:(NSString*)TSA :(NSString*)timestampRequest :(NSString**)timestampResponse :(int*)suppressDefault;

Remarks

Subscribe to this event to intercept timestamp requests. You can use it to override timestamping requests and perform them in your code.

The TSA parameter indicates the timestamping service being used. It matches the value passed to the TimestampServer property. Set the SuppressDefault parameter to false if you would like to stop the built-in TSA request from going ahead. The built-in TSA request is also not performed if the returned TimestampResponse parameter is not empty.

TimestampValidated Event (OfficeSigner Module)

Reports the completion of the timestamp validation routine.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onTimestampValidated(index: Int32, issuerRDN: String, serialNumber: Data, subjectKeyID: Data, time: String, validationResult: Int32, chainValidationResult: Int32, chainValidationDetails: Int32)

- (void)onTimestampValidated:(int)index :(NSString*)issuerRDN :(NSData*)serialNumber :(NSData*)subjectKeyID :(NSString*)time :(int)validationResult :(int)chainValidationResult :(int)chainValidationDetails;

Remarks

This event is fired upon the completion of the timestamp validation routine, and reports the respective validation result.

ValidationResult is set to 0 if the validation has been successful, or to a non-zero value in case of a failure.

TLSCertNeeded Event (OfficeSigner Module)

Fires when a remote TLS party requests a client certificate.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onTLSCertNeeded(host: String, caNames: String)

- (void)onTLSCertNeeded:(NSString*)host :(NSString*)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 parameter (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 (OfficeSigner Module)

This event is fired upon receipt of the TLS server's certificate, allowing the user to control its acceptance.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onTLSCertValidate(serverHost: String, serverIP: String, accept: inout Bool)

- (void)onTLSCertValidate:(NSString*)serverHost :(NSString*)serverIP :(int*)accept;

Remarks

This event is fired during a TLS handshake. Use the TLSServerChain property to access the certificate chain. In general, classes 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 class, and can be adjusted if needed.

TLSEstablished Event (OfficeSigner Module)

Fires when a TLS handshake with Host successfully completes.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onTLSEstablished(host: String, version: String, ciphersuite: String, connectionId: Data, abort: inout Bool)

- (void)onTLSEstablished:(NSString*)host :(NSString*)version :(NSString*)ciphersuite :(NSData*)connectionId :(int*)abort;

Remarks

The class uses this event to notify the application about a successful completion of a TLS handshake.

The Version, Ciphersuite, and ConnectionId parameters indicate the security parameters of the new connection. Use the Abort parameter if you need to terminate the connection at this stage.

TLSHandshake Event (OfficeSigner Module)

Fires when a new TLS handshake is initiated, before the handshake commences.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onTLSHandshake(host: String, abort: inout Bool)

- (void)onTLSHandshake:(NSString*)host :(int*)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 by the TLSEstablished event. If the server chooses to request a client certificate, the TLSCertNeeded event will also be fired.

TLSShutdown Event (OfficeSigner Module)

Reports the graceful closure of a TLS connection.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onTLSShutdown(host: String)

- (void)onTLSShutdown:(NSString*)host;

Remarks

This event notifies the application about the closure of an earlier established TLS connection. Note that only graceful connection closures are reported.

Certificate Type

Provides details of an individual X.509 certificate.

Remarks

This type provides access to X.509 certificate details.

Fields

Constructors

public init(stream: )

Loads the X.509 certificate from a stream. Stream is a stream containing the certificate data.

public init()

Creates a new object with default field values.

CRL Type

Represents a Certificate Revocation List.

Remarks

CRLs store information about revoked certificates, i.e., certificates that have been identified as invalid by their issuing certificate authority (CA) for any number of reasons.

Each CRL object lists certificates from a single CA and identifies them by their serial numbers. A CA may or may not publish a CRL, may publish several CRLs, or may publish the same CRL in multiple locations.

Unlike OCSP responses, CRLs only list certificates that have been revoked. They do not list certificates that are still valid.

ExternalCrypto Type

Specifies the parameters of external cryptographic calls.

Remarks

External cryptocalls are used in a Distributed Cryptography (DC) subsystem, which allows the delegation of security operations to the remote agent. For instance, it can be used to compute the signature value on the server, while retaining the client's private key locally.

Fields

Constructors

public init()

Creates a new ExternalCrypto object with default field values.

OCSPResponse Type

Represents a single OCSP response originating from an OCSP responder.
