ExternalCryptoKeyID Property (MessageSigner 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 (MessageSigner Class)
The pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.
Syntax
QString GetExternalCryptoKeySecret();
int SetExternalCryptoKeySecret(QString qsExternalCryptoKeySecret);
Default Value
""
Remarks
The pre-shared key used for DC request authentication. This key must be set and match the key used by the DCAuth counterpart for the scheme to work.

TimestampServer Property (MessageSigner 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.

int SetTLSRevocationCheck(int iTLSRevocationCheck);
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.

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 (MessageSigner Class)
Countersigns an existing signature.
Syntax
int Countersign();
Remarks
Use this method to certify an existing document signature. Countersigning doesn't alter the existing signatures or the signed document itself.
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.)
DoAction Method (MessageSigner Class)
Performs an additional action.
Syntax
QString DoAction(const QString& qsActionID, const QString& qsActionParams);
Remarks
DoAction is a generic method available in every class. It is used to perform an additional action introduced after the product major release. The list of actions is not fixed, and may be flexibly extended over time.
The unique identifier of the action is provided in ActionID parameter. ActionParams contains a list of parameters for the action in the form of PARAM1=VALUE1;PARAM2=VALUE2;....
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.
ExtractAsyncData Method (MessageSigner Class)
Extracts user data from the DC signing service response.
Syntax
QString ExtractAsyncData(const QString& qsAsyncReply);
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 completion async stage.
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.
Sign Method (MessageSigner Class)
Signs the data.
Syntax
int Sign();
Remarks
This method signs the data provided via InputFile (or InputStream) with SigningCertificate, and saves the signature in OutputFile (OutputStream). Set the desired signature variant via SignatureType property.
The class automatically timestamps the created signature if a TimestampServer is provided.
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.)
SignAsyncBegin Method (MessageSigner Class)
Initiates the asynchronous signing operation.
Syntax
QString 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.
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.
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 (MessageSigner 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.
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.
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.)
Timestamp Method (MessageSigner Class)
Timestamps a signature.
Syntax
int Timestamp();
Remarks
This method timestamps an existing PKCS#7 signature with TimestampServer. Pass your existing signature via InputFile (or InputStream), and collect the timestamped variant from OutputFile (OutputStream).
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.)
Error Event (MessageSigner Class)
Information about errors during PKCS#7 message signing.
Syntax
class MessageSignerErrorEventParams { public: int ErrorCode(); const QString &Description(); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Error(MessageSignerErrorEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass MessageSigner and override this emitter function. virtual int FireError(MessageSignerErrorEventParams *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 (MessageSigner Class)
Handles remote or external signing initiated by the SignExternal method or other source.
Syntax
class MessageSignerExternalSignEventParams { 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(MessageSignerExternalSignEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass MessageSigner and override this emitter function. virtual int FireExternalSign(MessageSignerExternalSignEventParams *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 (MessageSigner Class)
This event notifies the application about an underlying control flow event.
Syntax
class MessageSignerNotificationEventParams { 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(MessageSignerNotificationEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass MessageSigner and override this emitter function. virtual int FireNotification(MessageSignerNotificationEventParams *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 (MessageSigner Class)
This event is fired upon receipt of the TLS server's certificate, allowing the user to control its acceptance.
Syntax
class MessageSignerTLSCertValidateEventParams { 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(MessageSignerTLSCertValidateEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass MessageSigner and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTLSCertValidate(MessageSignerTLSCertValidateEventParams *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.
Configuration Settings (MessageSigner 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. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.MessageSigner Configuration Settings | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
UseUndefSize: Allows or forbids the use of ASN.1 tags of undefined size.Usually PKCS#7 messages are handled correctly when undefined-size tags are used. However some ASN.1 parsers (S/MIME handler in Outlook Express, security plugins of Adobe Acrobat) can't correctly handle such tags. If you are targeting such software, you need this property. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
CookieCaching:
Specifies whether a cookie cache should be used for HTTP(S) transports.Set this property to enable or disable cookies caching for the class.
Supported values are:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cookies: Gets or sets local cookies for the class (supported for HTTPClient, RESTClient and SOAPClient only).Use this property to get cookies from the internal cookie storage of the class and/or restore them back between application sessions. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
DefDeriveKeyIterations: Specifies the default key derivation algorithm iteration count.This global property sets the default number of iterations for all supported key derivation algorithms. Note that you can provide the required number of iterations by using properties of the relevant key generation component; this global setting is used in scenarios where specific iteration count is not or cannot be provided. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
EnableClientSideSSLFFDHE:
Enables or disables finite field DHE key exchange support in TLS clients.This global property enables or disables support for finite field DHE key exchange methods in TLS clients. FF DHE is a slower
algorithm if compared to EC DHE; enabling it may result in slower connections.
This setting only applies to sessions negotiated with TLS version 1.3. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
GlobalCookies: Gets or sets global cookies for all the HTTP transports.Use this property to get cookies from the GLOBAL cookie storage or restore them back between application sessions. These cookies will be used by all the classes that have its CookieCaching property set to "global". | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
HttpUserAgent: Specifies the user agent name to be used by all HTTP clients.This global setting defines the User-Agent field of the HTTP request provides information about the software that initiates the request. This value will be used by all the HTTP clients including the ones used internally in other classes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
LogDestination:
Specifies the debug log destination.Contains a comma-separated list of values that specifies where debug log should be dumped.
Supported values are:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
LogDetails:
Specifies the debug log details to dump.Contains a comma-separated list of values that specifies which debug log details to dump.
Supported values are:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
LogFile: Specifies the debug log filename.Use this property to provide a path to the log file. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
LogFilters:
Specifies the debug log filters.Contains a comma-separated list of value pairs ("name:value") that describe filters.
Supported filter names are:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
LogFlushMode:
Specifies the log flush mode.Use this property to set the log flush mode. The following values are defined:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
LogLevel:
Specifies the debug log level.Use this property to provide the desired debug log level.
Supported values are:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
LogMaxEventCount:
Specifies the maximum number of events to cache before further action is taken.Use this property to specify the log event number threshold. This threshold may have different effects,
depending on the rotation setting and/or the flush mode.
The default value of this setting is 100. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
LogRotationMode:
Specifies the log rotation mode.Use this property to set the log rotation mode. The following values are defined:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
MaxASN1BufferLength: Specifies the maximal allowed length for ASN.1 primitive tag data.This global property limits the maximal allowed length for ASN.1 tag data for non-content-carrying structures, such as certificates, CRLs, or timestamps. It does not affect structures that can carry content, such as CMS/CAdES messages. This is a security property aiming at preventing DoS attacks. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
MaxASN1TreeDepth: Specifies the maximal depth for processed ASN.1 trees.This global property limits the maximal depth of ASN.1 trees that the component can handle without throwing an error. This is a security property aiming at preventing DoS attacks. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
OCSPHashAlgorithm: Specifies the hash algorithm to be used to identify certificates in OCSP requests.This global setting defines the hash algorithm to use in OCSP requests during chain validation. Some OCSP responders can only use older algorithms, in which case setting this property to SHA1 may be helpful. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Tag: Allows to store any custom data.Use this config property to store any custom data. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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. |
