CAdESSigner Class
Properties Methods Events Configuration Settings Errors
The CAdESSigner class creates CAdES- and CMS-compliant electronic signatures.
Syntax
CAdESSigner
Remarks
CAdESSigner can sign documents and files in compliance with CMS Advanced Electronic Signatures (CAdES) specification. Originally developed by ETSI on the basis of PKCS#7 format and initially adopted in the European Union, CAdES has quickly become a recognized international standard for signing all sorts of electronic documents.
Besides being a signature standard in its own right, CAdES is used as part of other higher-level signature standards, such as PAdES or S/MIME. It provides a convenient framework for creating short-lived and long-term signatures over any kind of documents, and is now used by governments, healthcare providers, banks, and independent service providers all across the globe.
Standards and technologies supported
CAdESSigner offers the following signing capabilities:
- Create and upgrade CAdES signatures in accordance with the most recent CAdES specification (ETSI EN 319 122). Some features from older versions are also supported.
- All profiles are supported (BES, EPES, T, C, X, XL, A, including Baseline and Extended variants).
- Timestamping using external TSAs.
- All industry-standard cryptographic algorithms (RSA, ECDSA, SHA256-512, and many others).
Configuring the signature parameters
Configuring CAdESSigner to make it produce a signature of the right type is the main task you would need to perform in your code. Normally the service or software you will be communicating your signed documents to will provide you with the list of requirements that your signatures should match.
Typically, those will dictate the following key aspects of the signatures:
- The signature Level (such BES, T, XL, A, or XLong). This can be passed as the Level parameter of the Sign method.
- Whether the signature should be detached or enveloping: this can be adjusted via the Detached parameter of the Sign method.
- When creating a timestamped signature (such as T or A), provide the address of your online TSA service via TimestampServer property.
- When creating long-term signatures that include the signing chain and validation material, tune up validation parameters via RevocationCheck, OfflineMode, and IgnoreChainValidationErrors properties.
In some circumstances you will also need to adjust the following lower-level settings:
- Set ClaimedSigningTime to include the local signature creation time (not timestamped by a TTP).
- Specify EPES signature parameters via PolicyHash, PolicyHashAlgorithm, PolicyID, and PolicyURI properties.
- Provide the hash algorithm via the HashAlgorithm property.
Signing certificates
CAdESSigner can use certificates residing on different media. Besides generic certificates stored in PFX or PEM files (A1), it can operate with non-exportable certificates residing on hardware media (A3) or in the cloud.
Non-exportable certificates can be accessed transparently via a Windows CSP or a PKCS#11 driver, if supplied by the certificate issuer. Proprietary interfaces can be plugged in with the external signing feature (see below).
You can use CertificateManager and CertificateStorage components to access the signing certificate. Assign the certificate to SigningCertificate property, and optionally provide the remainder of its chain via SigningChain property.
Note: If signing with a non-exportable key (such as residing on a hardware device or in the cloud), please make sure you keep the original CertificateStorage object open until the signing is completed. This is because the storage component provides a 'bridge' to the private key. If the storage is closed prematurely, this bridge is destroyed, and the private key can't be used.
You don't need to provide a signing certificate or chain when timestamping and upgrading signatures, since this type of operation does not involve the signing private key.
Signing a file
Now that you have set up all signature properties and attached the signing certificate, it is time to proceed to signing. You can provide the input document in one of the following forms: as a file (assign the path to InputFile property), as a stream (assign to InputStream property), or as a byte array (assign to InputBytes). Similarly, the output can be collected in one of the same forms, either by passing the destination path or stream via OutputFile and OutputStream respectively, or by reading the resulting document bytes from the OutputBytes property after the signing completes.
Having set up the input and output (unless using OutputBytes, which should be read later), call the component's Sign method, passing the desired signature level and type as parameters. This will initiate the signing process. Depending on the settings, the signing may be as straightforward as calculating the document hash and signing it with the private key (e.g. in CAdES-BES or B-B variant), or it may involve advanced chain validation routines (CAdES-XL or -A). During the latter the component may contact a number of external revocation information sources (CRL and OCSP servers) to establish the validity of the signing certificate.
If a TSA server was provided via the TimestampServer property, the component will contact it too to timestamp the new signature.
During the signing CAdESSigner may fire events to let your code know of certain conditions. It may fire TLSCertValidate if one of the HTTP endpoints involved in the operation (which may be a CRL, OCSP, or TSA service) works over TLS and needs its certificate to be validated.
Apart from signing, CAdESSigner can perform operations on signatures of other kinds. Use Upgrade method to upgrade an existing CAdES signature to a higher level (e.g. BES to XL). Use Timestamp to add a generic or validation timestamp to an existing signature. Use the Countersign method to add a countersignature to an existing signature. For any of these operations the input should constitute a valid CAdES signature.
External signing and DCAuth
CAdESSigner, like many other components offered by the product, supports two methods of signing with external keys. These methods are fully independent of each other: you can choose the one that suits your usage scenario best.
Synchronous method: ExternalSign
This is a simpler method that basically lets you infiltrate into the heart of the signing routine by taking care of the hash signing operation. The component does the rest of the job (hash calculation, preparation of signature objects, CRL/OCSP retrieval).
To initiate this method, call SignExternal instead of Sign. When the hash is ready, it will be passed back to your code with ExternalSign event. Your event handler needs to sign the hash with the private key and return the created signature back to the component - which will embed it into the document.
You don't need your signing certificate to contain an associated private key when using this method. The certificate itself (its public copy) may be needed though, as it is often included in the hash calculation.
This method is synchronous, meaning SignExternal provides you the results immediately upon its completion.
Asynchronous method: DCAuth
DCAuth is a SecureBlackbox-own know-how technology. This protocol was designed to allow sharing of private keys across environments, allowing the signer and the private key to reside on different systems. It works in the following way:
- The signing party - such as CAdESSigner - initiates the operation using SignAsyncBegin call. This produces two outcomes: a pre-signed document (a document with a blank signature placeholder), and a request state (an object containing a hash that needs to be signed). At this point the CAdESSigner instance can be released, and the process itself terminated (which may be useful when run as part of a web page).
- The request state is passed to the private key holder party. The private key holder passes the request state to a DCAuth object, which parses the request state, extracts the hash, and signs it. The output of DCAuth processing is another object, response state, which contains the signature. The private key holder then sends the response state back to the signing party.
- The signing party re-creates the controls, and passes the response state, together with the pre-signed version of the document, to the signer's SignAsyncEnd method. SignAsyncEnd extracts the signature from the response state and incorporates it into the pre-signed document.
This method is asynchronous in that sense that, from the signing party's viewpoint, it splits the signing operation into the pre-signing and completion stages which can be performed independently from each other and in different execution contexts. This makes this method particularly helpful for use in web pages and other scenarios where the signing key is not available in real time.
Fine-grained chain validation setup
Chain validation is a sophisticated, multi-faceted procedure that involves a lot of variables. Depending on the configuration of your operating environment, the specifics of the PKI framework being used, and the validation policy you need to follow, you may want to tune up your chain validation parameters so they fit them best. Below is given a summary of such parameters.
- RevocationCheck property lets you choose between and/or prioritize revocation origins. OCSP sources are often preferred to CRL because of their real-time capability and the smaller size of validation tokens they produce.
- OfflineMode is a master switch that stops class from looking for any validation tokens online. If this property is switched on, the component will only use KnownCertificates, TrustedCertificates, KnownCRLs, and KnownOCSPs collections to look for the missing validation material.
- IgnoreChainValidationErrors makes the component ignore any major validation issues it encounters (such us an untrusted chain or missing CRL). This option is handy for debugging and for creating signatures in the environments where the signing certificate is not trusted.
- KnownCertificates, KnownCRLs, and KnownOCSPs let you provide your own validation material. This may be useful when working in OfflineMode, where the signer has no access to the validation sources, or where the validation material has already been collected.
- TrustedCertificates lets you provide a list of trust anchors, either as a complement to the system's or as an alternative for it.
- BlockedCertificates lets you provide a list of blocked/distrusted certificates. Any CA certificate contained in it will be deemed untrusted/invalid.
The following parameters are not directly related to chain validation, but may have an implicit effect on it.
- Proxy, SocketSettings, and TLSSettings let you tune up the connectivity and TLS options in accordance with local preferences.
- TLSClientChain lets you provide the client certificate and its chain for TLS client authentication.
- Subscribe to TLSCertValidate to validate any TLS certificates of the services involved in chain validation.
The results of the chain validation procedure, upon its completion, are published in the following properties:
- ChainValidationResult contains the primary result of the chain validation routine: valid, valid but untrusted, invalid, or undefined.
- ChainValidationDetails provides the details of the factors that contributed to the chain validation result, such as an outdated certificate, a missing CRL, or a missing CA certificate.
- ValidationLog contains the detailed chain validation log. The log can often be very helpful in nailing down various validation issues.

ExternalCryptoKeyID Property (CAdESSigner Class)
The ID of the pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.
Syntax
QString GetExternalCryptoKeyID();
int SetExternalCryptoKeyID(QString qsExternalCryptoKeyID);
Default Value
""
Remarks
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 ExternalCryptoKeySecret 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:
signer.ExternalCrypto.KeyID = "MainSigningKey";
signer.ExternalCrypto.KeySecret = "abcdef0123456789";
Data Type
String
ExternalCryptoKeySecret Property (CAdESSigner Class)
The pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.

| cvrNoKeyUsage | 0x0400 | A mandatory key usage is not enabled in one of the chain certificates |
| cvrBlocked | 0x0800 | One or more certificates are blocked |
| cvrFailure | 0x1000 | General validation failure |
| cvrChainLoop | 0x2000 | Chain loop: one of the CA certificates recursively signs itself |
| cvrWeakAlgorithm | 0x4000 | A weak algorithm is used in one of certificates or revocation elements |
| cvrUserEnforced | 0x8000 | The chain was considered invalid following intervention from a user code |
This property is not available at design time.
Data Type
Integer

Default Value

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.

TimestampServer Property (CAdESSigner Class)
The address of the timestamping server.
Syntax
QString GetTimestampServer();
int SetTimestampServer(QString qsTimestampServer);
Default Value
""
Remarks
Use this property to provide the address of the Time Stamping Authority (TSA) server to be used for timestamping the signature.
SecureBlackbox supports RFC3161-compliant timestamping servers, available via HTTP or HTTPS.
If your timestamping service enforces credential-based user authentication (basic or digest), you can provide the credentials in the same URL:
http://user:password@timestamp.server.com/TsaService
For TSAs using certificate-based TLS authentication, provide the client certificate via the TLSClientChain property.
If this property is left empty, no timestamp will be added to the signature.
Starting from summer 2021 update (Vol. 2), the virtual timestamping service is supported, which allows you to intervene in the timestamping routine and provide your own handling for the TSA exchange. This may be handy if the service that you are requesting timestamps from uses a non-standard TSP protocol or requires special authentication option.
To employ the virtual service, assign an URI of the following format to this property:
virtual://localhost?hashonly=true&includecerts=true&reqpolicy=1.2.3.4.5&halg=SHA256
Subscribe to Notification event to get notified about the virtualized timestamping event. The EventID of the timestamping event is TimestampRequest. Inside the event handler, read the base16-encoded request from the EventParam parameter and forward it to the timestamping authority. Upon receiving the response, pass it back to the component, encoded in base16, via the TimestampResponse config property:
component.Config("TimestampResponse=308208ab...");
Note that all the exchange with your custom TSA should take place within the same invocation of the Notification event.
The hashonly parameter of the virtual URI tells the component to only return the timestamp message imprint via the EventParam parameter. If set to false, EventParam will contain the complete RFC3161 timestamping request.
The includecerts parameter specifies that the requestCertificates parameter of the timestamping request should be set to true.
The reqpolicy parameter lets you specify the request policy, and the halg parameter specifies the hash algorithm to use for timestamping.
All the parameters are optional.

Possible Values
CRC_NONE(0),
CRC_AUTO(1),
CRC_ALL_CRL(2),
CRC_ALL_OCSP(3),
CRC_ALL_CRLAND_OCSP(4),
CRC_ANY_CRL(5),
CRC_ANY_OCSP(6),
CRC_ANY_CRLOR_OCSP(7),
CRC_ANY_OCSPOR_CRL(8)
Default Value
1
Remarks
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.
| 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.
This property is not available at design time.

Data Type
String
Archive Method (CAdESSigner Class)
Archives the signature.
Syntax
int Archive(bool bBaseline);
Remarks
Call this method to produce an archival signature. Archival signature (CAdES-A) is built on top of CAdES-XL by certifying it with an archival timestamp.
Set Baseline to True to produce a baseline CAdES-A.
Error Handling
This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
Config Method (CAdESSigner Class)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
QString Config(const QString& qsConfigurationString);
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.
Error Handling
This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.
Countersign Method (CAdESSigner Class)
Countersigns the existing signature.
Syntax
int Countersign(int iLevel, bool bSerialSignature);
Remarks
Use this method to countersign a signature. Use the Level parameter to provide the desired CAdES level (see below).
SerialSignature specifies whether the new countersignature should be added on the same level of hierarchy as the original signature (signature-over-data, True), or as a true countersignature (signature-over-signature, False).
CAdES defines a number of different 'levels' of signatures. Supported signature levels:
| cslUnknown | 0 | Unknown signature level |
| cslBES | 1 | BES (Basic Electronic Signature) |
| cslEPES | 2 | EPES (Electronic Signature with an Explicit Policy) |
| cslT | 3 | T (Timestamped) |
| cslC | 4 | C (T with revocation references) |
| cslXType1 | 5 | X Type 1 (C with an ES-C timestamp) |
| cslXType2 | 6 | X Type 2 (C with a CertsAndCRLs timestamp) |
| cslXLType1 | 7 | XL Type 1 (C with revocation values and an ES-C timestamp) |
| cslXLType2 | 8 | XL Type 2 (C with revocation values and a CertsAndCRLs timestamp) |
| cslBaselineB | 9 | Baseline B (B-B, basic) |
| cslBaselineT | 10 | Baseline T (B-T, timestamped) |
| cslBaselineLT | 11 | Baseline LT (B-LT, long-term) |
| cslBaselineLTA | 12 | Baseline LTA (B-LTA, long-term with archived timestamp) |
| cslExtendedBES | 13 | Extended BES |
| cslExtendedEPES | 14 | Extended EPES |
| cslExtendedT | 15 | Extended T |
| cslExtendedC | 16 | Extended C |
| cslExtendedXType1 | 17 | Extended X Type 1 |
| cslExtendedXType2 | 18 | Extended X Type 2 |
| cslExtendedXLType1 | 19 | Extended XL Type 1 |
| cslExtendedXLType2 | 20 | Extended XL Type 2 |
| cslExtendedA | 21 | Extended A |
| cslA | 22 | A (archived) |
Error Handling
This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
CountersignExternal Method (CAdESSigner Class)
Countersigns the existing signature using an external signing facility.
Syntax
int CountersignExternal(int iLevel, bool bSerialSignature);
Remarks
Use this method to countersign a signature. Use the Level parameter to provide the desired CAdES level (see below). SerialSignature specifies whether the new countersignature should be added on the same level of hierarchy as the original signature (signature-over-data, True), or as a true countersignature (signature-over-signature, False).
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 the hash is computed, the class fires ExternalSign event which allows to pass the hash value to the external engine for signing.
CAdES defines a number of different 'levels' of signatures. Supported signature levels:
| cslUnknown | 0 | Unknown signature level |
| cslBES | 1 | BES (Basic Electronic Signature) |
| cslEPES | 2 | EPES (Electronic Signature with an Explicit Policy) |
| cslT | 3 | T (Timestamped) |
| cslC | 4 | C (T with revocation references) |
| cslXType1 | 5 | X Type 1 (C with an ES-C timestamp) |
| cslXType2 | 6 | X Type 2 (C with a CertsAndCRLs timestamp) |
| cslXLType1 | 7 | XL Type 1 (C with revocation values and an ES-C timestamp) |

Sign Method (CAdESSigner Class)
Creates a new CAdES signature over the provided data.
Syntax
int Sign(int iLevel, bool bDetached);
Remarks
Call this method to produce a new signature of the needed Level over the provided data. Set Detached to true to generate a detached signature (stored as a separate file and not including the data).
CAdES standard defines a number of different 'levels' of signatures. Supported signature levels:

If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
SignAsyncBegin Method (CAdESSigner Class)
Initiates asynchronous (DC) signing.
Syntax
QString SignAsyncBegin(int iLevel, bool bDetached);
Remarks
Call this method to initiate an asynchronous signing process. Pass the obtained async state to the DC processor for signing. To finalize the signing, pass the async state received from the DC processor to SignAsyncEnd.
AsyncState is a message of the distributed cryptography (DC) protocol. DC protocol is based on 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 control), which processes it and produces a matching signatures state. The async state produced by the server is then passed to the SignAsyncEnd method.
Set Detached to true to generate a detached signature (stored as a separate file).
CAdES defines a number of different 'levels' of signatures. Supported signature levels:
| cslUnknown | 0 | Unknown signature level |

Error Handling
This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.
SignAsyncEnd Method (CAdESSigner Class)
Completes the asynchronous signing operation.
Syntax
int SignAsyncEnd(const QString& qsAsyncReply);
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 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.

(Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
SignExternal Method (CAdESSigner Class)
Signs the document using an external signing facility.
Syntax
int SignExternal(int iLevel, bool bDetached);
Remarks
Use this method to create a CAdES signature using an external signing facility for the cryptographic computations. SignRemote delegates 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.
Set Detached to True to generate a detached (stored in a separate message) signature.
CAdES defines a number of different 'levels' of signatures. Supported signature levels:

If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
Upgrade Method (CAdESSigner Class)
Upgrades existing CAdES to a new level.
Syntax
int Upgrade(int iToLevel);
Remarks
CMS Advanced Electronic Signatures (CAdES) standard defines a number of different 'levels' of signatures which can be used for different purposes. Use this method to upgrade CAdES to a new level specified by ToLevel. Signatures can normally be upgraded from less sophisticated levels (BES, EPES) to more sophisticated (T, XL, A).

TBD.
Syntax
class CAdESSignerChainElementDownloadEventParams {
public:
const QString &Cert();
const QString &CACert();
const QString &Location();
int EventRetVal();
void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal.
void ChainElementDownload(CAdESSignerChainElementDownloadEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CAdESSigner and override this emitter function.
virtual int FireChainElementDownload(CAdESSignerChainElementDownloadEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
TBD.
ChainElementNeeded Event (CAdESSigner Class)
TBD.
Syntax
class CAdESSignerChainElementNeededEventParams {
public:
const QString &Cert();
const QString &CACert();
int EventRetVal();
void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal.
void ChainElementNeeded(CAdESSignerChainElementNeededEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CAdESSigner and override this emitter function.
virtual int FireChainElementNeeded(CAdESSignerChainElementNeededEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
TBD.
Error Event (CAdESSigner Class)
Information about errors during CAdES signing.
Syntax
class CAdESSignerErrorEventParams {
public:
int ErrorCode();
const QString &Description();
int EventRetVal();
void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal.
void Error(CAdESSignerErrorEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CAdESSigner and override this emitter function.
virtual int FireError(CAdESSignerErrorEventParams *e) {...}
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 Messages section.
ExternalSign Event (CAdESSigner Class)
Handles remote or external signing initiated by the SignExternal method or other source.
Syntax
class CAdESSignerExternalSignEventParams {
public:
const QString &OperationId();
const QString &HashAlgorithm();
const QString &Pars();
const QString &Data();
const QString &SignedData();
void SetSignedData(const QString &qsSignedData);
int EventRetVal();
void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal.
void ExternalSign(CAdESSignerExternalSignEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CAdESSigner and override this emitter function.
virtual int FireExternalSign(CAdESSignerExternalSignEventParams *e) {...}
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 (CAdESSigner Class)
This event notifies the application about an underlying control flow event.
Syntax
class CAdESSignerNotificationEventParams {
public:
const QString &EventID();
const QString &EventParam();
int EventRetVal();
void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal.
void Notification(CAdESSignerNotificationEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CAdESSigner and override this emitter function.
virtual int FireNotification(CAdESSignerNotificationEventParams *e) {...}
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.
This class can fire this event with the following EventID values:
| TimestampRequest | A timestamp is requested from the custom timestamping
authority. This event is only fired if TimestampServer was set to a
virtual:// URI. The EventParam parameter contains the
TSP request (or the plain hash, depending on the value provided to
TimestampServer), in base16, that needs to be sent to the TSA.
Use the event handler to send the request to the TSA. Upon receiving the response, assign it, in base16, to the TimestampResponse configuration property. |
TLSCertValidate Event (CAdESSigner Class)
This event is fired upon receipt of the TLS server's certificate, allowing the user to control its acceptance.
Syntax
class CAdESSignerTLSCertValidateEventParams {
public:
const QString &ServerHostname();
const QString &ServerIP();
bool Accept();
void SetAccept(bool bAccept);
int EventRetVal();
void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal.
void TLSCertValidate(CAdESSignerTLSCertValidateEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CAdESSigner and override this emitter function.
virtual int FireTLSCertValidate(CAdESSignerTLSCertValidateEventParams *e) {...}
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.
ValidationProgress Event (CAdESSigner Class)
TBD.
Syntax
class CAdESSignerValidationProgressEventParams {
public:
const QString &ValidationEventType();
const QString &Cert();
const QString &CACert();
bool DoContinue();
void SetDoContinue(bool bDoContinue);
int EventRetVal();
void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal.
void ValidationProgress(CAdESSignerValidationProgressEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CAdESSigner and override this emitter function.
virtual int FireValidationProgress(CAdESSignerValidationProgressEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
TBD.
Configuration Settings (CAdESSigner Class)
The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used.

| AddReferencesToAllUsedCertsAndRevInfo: Whether to include all certificates and revocation references in CompleteCertificateRefs attribute.If this property is set, all certificates and revocation references collected during validation will be added to the CompleteCertificateRefs attribute of the signature. This feature is not required by the CAdES specification, however, some processors may expect such behavior. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| AddReferencesToIrrevocableCerts: Whether references to irrevocable certificates should be included in CompleteCertificateRefs attribute.Set this property to True to include references to irrevocable certificates in CompleteCertificateRefs attribute | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| AddReferenceToSigningCert: Whether a reference to the signing certificate should be included in CompleteCertificateRefs attribute.Set this property to True to include a reference to the signing certificate in CompleteCertificateRefs attribute | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| CmsOptAnnexKArchiveTimestampV2Mode: Toggles use of Annex K method of calculating validation timestamp hashes.This CMS message option toggles the use of Annex K method of calculating validation timestamp hashes. Switch this option off to stick to RFC5126 p6.3.5 method. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CmsOptCheckATSHashIndexElements: Enables extra checks when processing ATSHashIndex attribute.This CMS message option enables an extra check to make sure every hash in ATSHashIndex has an associated CMS element. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CmsOptCompareRDNAsStrings: Enforces comparison of RDN elements as text strings, rather than their byte encodings.This CMS message option enforces comparison of string RDN elements as text strings rather than their original byte encodings. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CmsOptDigitPADSSCompatibility: Enables Digit PADSS compatibility mode.This CMS message option enables compatibility mode with Digit PADSS software. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CmsOptForceSigningCertificateV2Usage: Enforces use of signing-certificate-v2 attribute.This CMS message option enforces the use of signing-certificate-v2 attribute in favour of older signing-certificate-v1. Current regulations require that signing-certificate-v2 is used at all times. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CmsOptIgnoreDERReqInArchiveTimestamps: Switches off DER encoding requirement for archival timestamps.This CMS message option switches off DER encoding requirement for archival timestamps (normally meaning no attribute reordering). This setting is a workaround for certain buggy CAdES products. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CmsOptImzagerMIMCompatibility: Enables Imzager MIM compatibility mode.This CMS message option enables compatibility mode with Imzager MIM software. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CmsOptIncludeCertToAttributes: Regulates whether to include the signing certificate to the signature as the signing-certificate attribute.This CMS message option controls inclusion of the signing certificate as the signing-certificate attribute. Current regulations require that this attribute is present. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CmsOptIncludeCertToMessage: Regulates whether to include the signing certificate and its chain to the CMS.This CMS message option controls inclusion of the signing certificate to the CMS structure. It is recommended that the certificate is included. Note that this option has no effect if the signature level used (e.g. XL) enforces inclusion of the certificate to the message. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CmsOptInsertContentType: Regulates whether the content-type time attribute should be included in the signature structure.This CMS message option specifies whether the content-type attribute should be included in the signature structure. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CmsOptInsertMessageDigests: Regulates whether the message-digest signed attribute should be included in the signature structure.This CMS message option controls inclusion of the message-digest attribute in the signature structure. Current regulations require that this attribute is present at all times. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CmsOptInsertSigningTime: Regulates whether the signing-time attribute should be included in the signature structure.This CMS message option specifies whether the signing-time attribute should be included in the signature structure. Switch it off to suppress inclusion of the signing-time attribute. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CmsOptSkipEnvContentInfoOnSigArchival: Excludes hashing of enveloped content when calculating an archival timestamp.This CMS message option excludes hashing of enveloped content when calculating an archival timestamp. This setting is a workaround for certain buggy CAdES products. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CmsOptUseATSHashIndexV1: Enables use of ATSHashIndexV1 attribute.This CMS message option enables use of deprecated ATSHashIndexV1 attribute when calculating archival timestamp V3 hashes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CmsOptUseGeneralizedTimeFormat: Enables or disables encoding of the signing-time attribute using ASN.1 GENERALIZEDTIME type.This CMS message option controls whether the signing-time attribute should be encoded as GENERALIZEDTIME or UTCTIME. Current regulations require that the GENERALIZEDTIME type is used at all times. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CmsOptUseGenericSigAlgorithmOIDs: Enables use of generic signature algorithm OIDs in the signature.This CMS message option enforces the use of generic public key algorithm OIDs (e.g. rsaEncryption) instead of hash algorithm-specific variants (e.g. sha256withRsaEncryption). This setting is a workaround for certain buggy CAdES products. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CmsOptUsePlainContentForTimestampHashes: Makes CAdESSigner ignore ASN.1 content formatting when calculating timestamp hashes.This CMS message option causes CAdESSigner to ignore ASN.1 formatting when feeding content to timestamp hashes (might make a difference with split OCTETSTRINGs for extra long contents). This option is only applicable to content timestamps and ArchivalTimestampV1's. This setting is a workaround for certain buggy CAdES products. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ContentType: The content type of the CMS message. Specifies the content type of the CMS message. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| DeepCountersignatureValidation: Whether to validate countersignatures.When this property is set, deep validation of countersignatures is performed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| DeepTimestampValidation: Whether to perform deep validation of all timestamps. When this property is set, deep validation of all signature's timestamps is performed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ForceCompleteChainValidation: Whether to check the CA certificates when the signing certificate is invalid. Set this property to True to check issuer (CA) certificates when the signing certificate is invalid. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| GracePeriod: Specifies a grace period to apply during revocation information checks.Use this property to specify a grace period (in seconds). Grace period applies to certain subprotocols, such as OCSP, and caters to the inaccuracy and/or missynchronization of clocks on different participating systems. Any time deviations within the grace period will be tolerated. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| IgnoreChainValidationErrors: Don't stop on chain validation errors. Set this property to True to make the component ignore any chain validation issues. This may be useful if the signature is created in an environment with a different trust settings to the validation environment. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| IgnoreOCSPNoCheckExtension: Whether OCSP NoCheck extension should be ignored.Set this property to false 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| PolicyExplicitText: The explicit text of the user notice. Use this property to specify the explicit text of the user notice to be displayed when the signature is verified. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| PolicyUNNumbers: The noticeNumbers part of the NoticeReference CAdES attribute. Defines the "noticeNumbers" part of the NoticeReference signature policy qualifier for CAdES-EPES. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| PolicyUNOrganization: The organization part of the NoticeReference qualifier. Defines the "organization" part of the NoticeReference signature policy qualifier for CAdES-EPES. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ReportInvalidTimestamps: Whether to raise errors for invalid timestamps.When this property is set, an invalid timestamp will be considered a critical issue. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| SchemeParams:
The algorithm scheme parameters to employ.Use this property to specify the parameters of the algorithm scheme if needed.
TBD |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| SkipValidationTimestampedSignatures: Whether to validate signatures with validation timestamps.Set this property to False to enforce validation of the signatures containing validation timestamps. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| SuppressValuesInC: Makes CAdESSigner not add certificate and revocation values to its C-level signatures.In default configuration CAdESSigner includes both references and values to its C-level signatures. Switch this setting on to make it exclude the values from such signatures (only leaving the references). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| TempPath: Path for storing temporary files.This setting specifies an absolute path to the location on disk where temporary files are stored. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| TLSChainValidationDetails: Contains the advanced details of the TLS server certificate validation.Check this property in TLSCertValidate event handler to access the TLS certificate validation details. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| TLSChainValidationResult: Contains the result of the TLS server certificate validation.Check this property in TLSCertValidate event handler to obtain the TLS certificate validation result. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| TLSClientAuthRequested: Indicates whether the TLS server requests client authentication.Check this property in TLSCertValidate event handler to find out whether the TLS server requests the client to provide the authentication certificate. If this property is set to true, provide your certificate via TLSClientChain property. Note that the component may fire this event more than once during each operation, as more than one TLS-enabled server may need to be contacted. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| TLSValidationLog: Contains the log of the TLS server certificate validation.Check this property in TLSCertValidate event handler to retrieve the validation log of the TLS server. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| TolerateMinorChainIssues: Whether to tolerate minor chain issues.TBD | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| TspHashAlgorithm: Sets a specific hash algorithm for use with the timestamping service.In default configuration CAdESSigner uses the same hash algorithm (taken from the HashAlgorithm property) for the main signature and any associated timestamps. Use this property to specify a different hash algorithm for the timestamp. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| UseArchivalTimestampV3: Whether to stick to archival timestamp V3 in the new signatures.Set this property to True to use CAdES-X-L with Time Type 3. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| UsePSS: Whether to use RSASSA-PSS algorithm.Although the RSASSA-PSS algorithm provides better security than a classic RSA scheme (PKCS#1-1.5), please take into account that RSASSA-PSS is a relatively new algorithm which may not be understood by older implementations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| UseUndefSize: Toggles the use of indefinite/definite ASN.1 tag length encoding.Switch this property off to make CAdESSigner use definite ASN.1 tag length encoding (explicit lengths) for signed data. The default setting is true, which makes the resulting ASN.1 structure use indefinite length encoding (30 80 ..data.. 00 00). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Base Configuration 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. |

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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 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. |
