The length of the key in bits.
Syntax
def get_key_bits(key_index: int) -> int: ...
Default Value
0
Remarks
The length of the key in bits.

This property specifies the name of the curve the EC key is built on.
Syntax
def get_key_curve(key_index: int) -> str: ...
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property specifies the name of the curve the EC key is built on.
The key_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the key_count property.
This property is read-only.
key_exportable Property
Returns True if the key is exportable (can be serialized into an array of bytes), and False otherwise.
Syntax
def get_key_exportable(key_index: int) -> bool: ...
Default Value
FALSE
Remarks
Returns True if the key is exportable (can be serialized into an array of bytes), and False otherwise.
The key_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the key_count property.
This property is read-only.
key_handle Property
Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object.
Syntax
def get_key_handle(key_index: int) -> int: ...
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());
The key_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the key_count property.
This property is read-only.
key_id Property
Provides access to a storage-specific key identifier.
Syntax
def get_key_id(key_index: int) -> bytes: ...
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).
The key_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the key_count property.
This property is read-only.
key_iv Property
The initialization vector (IV) of a symmetric key.
Syntax
def get_key_iv(key_index: int) -> bytes: ...
Remarks
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.
The key_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the key_count property.
This property is read-only.
key_key Property
The byte array representation of the key.
Syntax
def get_key_key(key_index: int) -> bytes: ...
Remarks
The byte array representation of the key. This may not be available for non-key_exportable keys.
The key_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the key_count property.
This property is read-only.
key_nonce Property
A nonce value associated with a key.
Syntax
def get_key_nonce(key_index: int) -> bytes: ...
Remarks
A nonce value associated with a key. It is similar to IV, but its only purpose is to introduce randomness.
The key_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the key_count property.
This property is read-only.
key_private Property
Returns True if the object hosts a private key, and False otherwise.

Default Value
FALSE
Remarks
Returns True if the object hosts a private key, and False otherwise.
The key_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the key_count property.
This property is read-only.
key_public Property
Returns True if the object hosts a public key, and False otherwise.
Syntax

This property is read-only.
key_subject Property
Returns the key subject.
Syntax
def get_key_subject(key_index: int) -> bytes: ...
Remarks
Returns the key subject. This is a cryptoprovider-dependent value, which normally aims to provide some user-friendly insight into the key owner.
The key_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the key_count property.
This property is read-only.
key_symmetric Property
Returns True if the object contains a symmetric key, and False otherwise.
Syntax
def get_key_symmetric(key_index: int) -> bool: ...
Default Value
FALSE
Remarks
Returns True if the object contains a symmetric key, and False otherwise.
The key_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the key_count property.
This property is read-only.
key_valid Property
Returns True if this key is valid.
Syntax
def get_key_valid(key_index: int) -> bool: ...
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.
The key_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the key_count property.
This property is read-only.
opened Property
Indicates whether the storage is in the open state.
Syntax
def get_opened() -> bool: ...
opened = property(get_opened, None)
Default Value
FALSE
Remarks
Use this property to check if the storage has been 'opened.' Different kinds of key storages imply different meanings for 'being opened', but generally a storage is open if it is available for operations.
Use open method to open a storage.
This property is read-only.
pinned_key_handle Property
Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object.
Syntax
def get_pinned_key_handle() -> int: ... def set_pinned_key_handle(value: int) -> None: ...
pinned_key_handle = property(get_pinned_key_handle, set_pinned_key_handle)
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());
selected_key_count Property
The number of records in the SelectedKey arrays.
Syntax
def get_selected_key_count() -> int: ...
selected_key_count = property(get_selected_key_count, None)
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property controls the size of the following arrays:
- selected_key_algorithm
- selected_key_bits
- selected_key_curve
- selected_key_exportable
- selected_key_handle
- selected_key_id
- selected_key_iv
- selected_key_key
- selected_key_nonce
- selected_key_private
- selected_key_public
- selected_key_subject
- selected_key_symmetric

Returns True if the object hosts a public key, and False otherwise.
Syntax
def get_selected_key_public(selected_key_index: int) -> bool: ...
Default Value
FALSE
Remarks
Returns True if the object hosts a public key, and False otherwise.
The selected_key_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the selected_key_count property.
This property is read-only.
selected_key_subject Property
Returns the key subject.
Syntax
def get_selected_key_subject(selected_key_index: int) -> bytes: ...
Remarks
Returns the key subject. This is a cryptoprovider-dependent value, which normally aims to provide some user-friendly insight into the key owner.
The selected_key_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the selected_key_count property.
This property is read-only.
selected_key_symmetric Property
Returns True if the object contains a symmetric key, and False otherwise.
Syntax
def get_selected_key_symmetric(selected_key_index: int) -> bool: ...

config Method
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
def config(configuration_string: str) -> str: ...
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.

The store identifiers are separated from each other with a CRLF sequence.
login Method
Signs in to a session or elevates the session rights.
Syntax
def login(session_type: int, pin: str, read_only: bool) -> None: ...
Remarks
Use this method to sign in to a session with a required access type. Note that in some cases you
may call this method more than one time for a specific session to elevate your access rights, for example:
// open an unauthenticated session
storage.Login(stUnauthenticated, "", false);
// elevate the access rights for the session
storage.Login(stUser, "password", false);
Sessions are currently supported for PKCS#11 storage types only.
