Remarks
PublicKeyCrypto allows you to encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify uninterpreted data. It implements low-level, or "raw" cryptographic primitives, such as RSA-PKCS1. The cryptographic primitives are typically used internally in higher-level protocols, such as CMS or PGP.
Cryptographic primitives work on small quantities of data (up to a few kilobytes). If you are looking to encrypt or sign large blobs of data, it is very likely that you need to use higher-level classes, such as MessageEncryptor, CAdESSigner, or PGPWriter.
A code snippet below illustrates the use of PublicKeyCrypto to encrypt (and decrypt) a data piece with OpenSSL-generated RSA keypair.
procedure TForm1.HandleKeyPasswordNeeded(Sender: TObject; const NeededFor: String;
var Password: String; var Cancel: Boolean);
begin
Password := 'key-password';
end;
procedure TForm1.btnRSAEncryptClick(Sender: TObject);
var
Crypto : TsbxPublicKeyCrypto;
KeyMgr : TsbxCryptoKeyManager;
Plaintext, Ciphertext, Decrypted : TBytes;
begin
// prep
Plaintext := TEncoding.UTF8.GetBytes('Hello, World!');
// encryption
KeyMgr := TsbxCryptoKeyManager.Create(nil);
try
KeyMgr.ImportFromFile('public.pem', kffPEM, '', '', '', ktPublic);
Crypto := TsbxPublicKeyCrypto.Create(nil);
try
Crypto.Key := KeyMgr.Key;
Ciphertext := Crypto.Encrypt(Plaintext);
finally
FreeAndNil(Crypto);
end;
finally
FreeAndNil(KeyMgr);
end;
// decryption
KeyMgr := TsbxCryptoKeyManager.Create(nil);
try
KeyMgr.OnPasswordNeeded := HandleKeyPasswordNeeded;
KeyMgr.ImportFromFile('private.pem', kffPEM, '', '', '', ktSecret);

Object Oriented Interface
public function getKeyBits();
Procedural Interface

Default Value
0
Remarks
The length of the key in bits.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Data Type
Integer
KeyCurve Property (SecureBlackbox_PublicKeyCrypto Class)
This property specifies the name of the curve the EC key is built on.
Object Oriented Interface
public function getKeyCurve(); public function setKeyCurve($value);
Procedural Interface
secureblackbox_publickeycrypto_get($res, 13 ); secureblackbox_publickeycrypto_set($res, 13, $value );

Remarks
This property specifies the name of the curve the EC key is built on.
This property is not available at design time.
Data Type
String

Object Oriented Interface
public function getKeyExportable();
Procedural Interface
secureblackbox_publickeycrypto_get($res, 14 );
Default Value
false
Remarks
Returns True if the key is exportable (can be serialized into an array of bytes), and False otherwise.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Data Type
Boolean
KeyHandle Property (SecureBlackbox_PublicKeyCrypto Class)
Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object.
Object Oriented Interface
public function getKeyHandle(); public function setKeyHandle($value);
Procedural Interface
secureblackbox_publickeycrypto_get($res, 15 ); secureblackbox_publickeycrypto_set($res, 15, $value );
Default Value
0
Remarks
Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object. Use this property to assign objects of the same type in a quicker manner, without copying them fieldwise.
When you pass a handle of one object to another, the source object is copied to the destination rather than assigned. It is safe to get rid of the original object
after such operation.
pdfSigner.setSigningCertHandle(certMgr.getCertHandle());
This property is not available at design time.

secureblackbox_publickeycrypto_get($res, 16 ); secureblackbox_publickeycrypto_set($res, 16, $value );
Remarks
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).
This property is not available at design time.
Data Type
Byte Array

The byte array representation of the key.

Data Type
Byte Array

A nonce value associated with a key.
Object Oriented Interface
public function getKeyNonce(); public function setKeyNonce($value);
Procedural Interface
secureblackbox_publickeycrypto_get($res, 19 ); secureblackbox_publickeycrypto_set($res, 19, $value );

This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Data Type
Boolean
KeySubject Property (SecureBlackbox_PublicKeyCrypto Class)
Returns the key subject.
Object Oriented Interface
public function getKeySubject(); public function setKeySubject($value);
Procedural Interface
secureblackbox_publickeycrypto_get($res, 22 ); secureblackbox_publickeycrypto_set($res, 22, $value );
Remarks
Returns the key subject. This is a cryptoprovider-dependent value, which normally aims to provide some user-friendly insight into the key owner.
This property is not available at design time.
Data Type
Byte Array
KeySymmetric Property (SecureBlackbox_PublicKeyCrypto Class)
Returns True if the object contains a symmetric key, and False otherwise.
Object Oriented Interface
public function getKeySymmetric();
Procedural Interface
secureblackbox_publickeycrypto_get($res, 23 );
Default Value
false
Remarks
Returns True if the object contains a symmetric key, and False otherwise.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Data Type
Boolean
KeyValid Property (SecureBlackbox_PublicKeyCrypto Class)
Returns True if this key is valid.
Object Oriented Interface
public function getKeyValid();
Procedural Interface
secureblackbox_publickeycrypto_get($res, 24 );
Default Value
false
Remarks
Returns True if this key is valid. The term Valid highly depends on the kind of the key being stored. A symmetric key is considered valid if its length fits the algorithm being set. The validity of an RSA key also ensures that the RSA key elements (primes, exponents, and modulus) are consistent.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Data Type
Boolean
OutputEncoding Property (SecureBlackbox_PublicKeyCrypto Class)
The encoding type to apply to the output data.
Object Oriented Interface
public function getOutputEncoding(); public function setOutputEncoding($value);
Procedural Interface
secureblackbox_publickeycrypto_get($res, 25 ); secureblackbox_publickeycrypto_set($res, 25, $value );
Default Value

Object Oriented Interface
public function getScheme(); public function setScheme($value);
Procedural Interface
secureblackbox_publickeycrypto_get($res, 26 ); secureblackbox_publickeycrypto_set($res, 26, $value );
Default Value

Data Type
Integer
Config Method (SecureBlackbox_PublicKeyCrypto Class)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Object Oriented Interface
public function doConfig($configurationstring);
Procedural Interface
secureblackbox_publickeycrypto_do_config($res, $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.

SignFile Method (SecureBlackbox_PublicKeyCrypto Class)
Signs a file.
Object Oriented Interface
public function doSignFile($sourcefile, $destfile, $detached);
Procedural Interface
secureblackbox_publickeycrypto_do_signfile($res, $sourcefile, $destfile, $detached);
Remarks
Use this method to sign a file and save the protected message to another file.
Specify the signing key in Key property before the signing. Please make sure the assigned key has a private key associated with it.
Set Detached parameter to false to create an enveloped/enveloping signature. This may not be supported by certain algorithms or encryption modes.
Verify Method (SecureBlackbox_PublicKeyCrypto Class)
Verifies an enveloped or enveloping signature contained in a buffer.
Object Oriented Interface
public function doVerify($buffer);
Procedural Interface
secureblackbox_publickeycrypto_do_verify($res, $buffer);
