BlockedCertCount Property (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

The number of records in the BlockedCert arrays.

Syntax

__property int BlockedCertCount = { read=FBlockedCertCount, write=FSetBlockedCertCount };

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property controls the size of the following arrays:

The array indices start at 0 and end at BlockedCertCount - 1.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Integer

BlockedCertBytes Property (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

Syntax

__property DynamicArray BlockedCertBytes[int BlockedCertIndex] = { read=FBlockedCertBytes };

Remarks

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

The BlockedCertIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the BlockedCertCount property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

Byte Array

BlockedCertHandle Property (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object.

Syntax

__property __int64 BlockedCertHandle[int BlockedCertIndex] = { read=FBlockedCertHandle, write=FSetBlockedCertHandle };

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 BlockedCertIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the BlockedCertCount property.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Long64

ClaimedSigningTime Property (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

The signing time from the signer's computer.

Syntax

__property String ClaimedSigningTime = { read=FClaimedSigningTime, write=FSetClaimedSigningTime };

Default Value

""

Remarks

Use this property to provide the signature production time. The claimed time is not supported by a trusted source; it may be inaccurate, forfeited, or wrong, and as such is usually taken for informational purposes only by verifiers. Use timestamp servers to embed verifiable trusted timestamps. The time is in UTC.

Data Type

String

ExternalCryptoAsyncDocumentID Property (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

Specifies an optional document ID for SignAsyncBegin() and SignAsyncEnd() calls.

Syntax

__property String ExternalCryptoAsyncDocumentID = { read=FExternalCryptoAsyncDocumentID, write=FSetExternalCryptoAsyncDocumentID };

Default Value

""

Remarks

Specifies an optional document ID for SignAsyncBegin() and SignAsyncEnd() calls.

Use this property when working with multi-signature DCAuth requests and responses to uniquely identify documents signed within a larger batch. On the completion stage, this value helps the signing component identify the correct signature in the returned batch of responses.

If using batched requests, make sure to set this property to the same value on both the pre-signing (SignAsyncBegin) and completion (SignAsyncEnd) stages.

Data Type

String

ExternalCryptoKeyID Property (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

The ID of the pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.

Syntax

__property String ExternalCryptoKeyID = { read=FExternalCryptoKeyID, write=FSetExternalCryptoKeyID };

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 an extra protection layer for the protocol and diminishes the risk of the 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 (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

The pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.

Syntax

__property String ExternalCryptoKeySecret = { read=FExternalCryptoKeySecret, write=FSetExternalCryptoKeySecret };

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.

Read more about configuring authentication in the ExternalCryptoKeyID topic.

Data Type

String

Default Value

asmdPKCS1

Remarks

Specifies the asynchronous signing method. This is typically defined by the DC server capabilities and setup.

Available options:

asmdPKCS10
asmdPKCS71

Data Type

Integer

ExternalCryptoMode Property (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

Specifies the external cryptography mode.

Syntax

__property TsbxAuthenticodeSignerExternalCryptoModes ExternalCryptoMode = { read=FExternalCryptoMode, write=FSetExternalCryptoMode };

Default Value

crcAuto

Remarks

Revocation checking is necessary to ensure the integrity of the chain and obtain up-to-date certificate validity and trustworthiness information.

Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) and Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responses serve the same purpose of ensuring that the certificate had not been revoked by the Certificate Authority (CA) at the time of use. Depending on your circumstances and security policy requirements, you may want to use either one or both of the revocation information source types.

crcNone0No revocation checking.
crcAuto1Automatic mode selection. Currently this maps to crcAnyOCSPOrCRL, but it may change in the future.
crcAllCRL2All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed.
crcAllOCSP3All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed.
crcAllCRLAndOCSP4All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed.
crcAnyCRL5All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed.
crcAnyOCSP6All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed.
crcAnyCRLOrOCSP7All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. CRL endpoints are checked first.
crcAnyOCSPOrCRL8All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. OCSP endpoints are checked first.

This setting controls the way the revocation checks are performed for every certificate in the chain. Typically certificates come with two types of revocation information sources: CRL (certificate revocation lists) and OCSP responders. CRLs are static objects periodically published by the CA at some online location. OCSP responders are active online services maintained by the CA that can provide up-to-date information on certificate statuses in near real time.

There are some conceptual differences between the two. CRLs are normally larger in size. Their use involves some latency because there is normally some delay between the time when a certificate was revoked and the time the subsequent CRL mentioning that is published. The benefits of CRL is that the same object can provide statuses for all certificates issued by a particular CA, and that the whole technology is much simpler than OCSP (and thus is supported by more CAs).

This setting lets you adjust the validation course by including or excluding certain types of revocation sources from the validation process. The crcAnyOCSPOrCRL setting (give preference to the faster OCSP route and only demand one source to succeed) is a good choice for most typical validation environments. The "crcAll*" modes are much stricter, and may be used in scenarios where bulletproof validity information is essential.

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

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

__property String TimestampServer = { read=FTimestampServer, write=FSetTimestampServer };

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&ignorenonce=true

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.

The ignorenonce parameter allows you to switch off client nonce verification to enable compatibility with TSA services that do not support nonce mirroring.

All the parameters are optional.

Data Type

String

TimestampType Property (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

Sets the signature timestamp type.

Syntax

__property TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTimestampTypes TimestampType = { read=FTimestampType, write=FSetTimestampType };
enum TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTimestampTypes { actUnknown=0, actLegacy=1, actTrusted=2 };

Default Value

actTrusted

Remarks

Use this property to specify the signature timestamp type. This can either be a "trusted" timestamp (a weird name applied by the Authenticode specification to a standard RFC 3161 timestamp), or a "legacy" timestamp (an older variant of the base64-encoded TSP protocol).

actUnknown0
actLegacy1
actTrusted2

Data Type

Integer

TLSRevocationCheck Property (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

Specifies the kind(s) of revocation check to perform.

Syntax

__property TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTLSRevocationChecks TLSRevocationCheck = { read=FTLSRevocationCheck, write=FSetTLSRevocationCheck };
enum TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTLSRevocationChecks { crcNone=0, crcAuto=1, crcAllCRL=2, crcAllOCSP=3, crcAllCRLAndOCSP=4, crcAnyCRL=5, crcAnyOCSP=6, crcAnyCRLOrOCSP=7, crcAnyOCSPOrCRL=8 };

Default Value

crcAuto

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.

crcNone0No revocation checking.
crcAuto1Automatic mode selection. Currently this maps to crcAnyOCSPOrCRL, but it may change in the future.
crcAllCRL2All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed.
crcAllOCSP3All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed.
crcAllCRLAndOCSP4All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed.
crcAnyCRL5All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed.
crcAnyOCSP6All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed.
crcAnyCRLOrOCSP7All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. CRL endpoints are checked first.
crcAnyOCSPOrCRL8All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. OCSP endpoints are checked first.

This setting controls the way the revocation checks are performed for every certificate in the chain. Typically certificates come with two types of revocation information sources: CRL (certificate revocation lists) and OCSP responders. CRLs are static objects periodically published by the CA at some online location. OCSP responders are active online services maintained by the CA that can provide up-to-date information on certificate statuses in near real time.

There are some conceptual differences between the two. CRLs are normally larger in size. Their use involves some latency because there is normally some delay between the time when a certificate was revoked and the time the subsequent CRL mentioning that is published. The benefits of CRL is that the same object can provide statuses for all certificates issued by a particular CA, and that the whole technology is much simpler than OCSP (and thus is supported by more CAs).

This setting lets you adjust the validation course by including or excluding certain types of revocation sources from the validation process. The crcAnyOCSPOrCRL setting (give preference to the faster OCSP route and only demand one source to succeed) is a good choice for most typical validation environments. The "crcAll*" modes are much stricter, and may be used in scenarios where bulletproof validity information is essential.

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

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

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

AddAttribute Method (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

Adds an attribute to the signature.

Syntax

int __fastcall AddAttribute(String OID, DynamicArray<Byte> Value, bool SignedAttribute);

Remarks

Use this method to add a signed or unsigned attribute to the collection of attributes included in the new signature.

Note that CAdESSigner creates certain mandatory and/or widely used attributes automatically in accordance with requirements for a specific signing profile. For example, attributes such as SigningCertificateV2 or SigningTime are always added. Policy attributes are added if specified via the PolicyID or PolicyURI properties of the signature object.

Use the OID parameter to provide the object identifier of the attribute, in string form. For example, the OID for the SigningCertificateV2 attribute is 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.2.47. The Value parameter should contain a well-formed, DER-encoded representation of the attribute value, in accordance with its specification.

Config Method (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

String __fastcall Config(String ConfigurationString);

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the component.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

DoAction Method (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

Performs an additional action.

Syntax

String __fastcall DoAction(String ActionID, String ActionParams);

Remarks

DoAction is a generic method available in every component. It is used to perform an additional action introduced after the product major release. The list of actions is not fixed, and may be flexibly extended over time.

The unique identifier (case insensitive) of the action is provided in the ActionID parameter.

ActionParams contains the value of a single parameter, or a list of multiple parameters for the action in the form of PARAM1=VALUE1;PARAM2=VALUE2;....

ExtractAsyncData Method (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

Extracts user data from the DC signing service response.

Syntax

String __fastcall ExtractAsyncData(String AsyncReply);

Remarks

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

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

Reset Method (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

Resets the component settings.

Syntax

void __fastcall Reset();

Remarks

Reset is a generic method available in every component.

Sign Method (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

Calculates and adds a signature to the executable.

Syntax

void __fastcall Sign();

Remarks

Use this method to create a new Authenticode signature over the executable as per the configuration of the component.

SignAsyncBegin Method (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

Initiates the asynchronous signing operation.

Syntax

String __fastcall SignAsyncBegin();

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

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

SignAsyncEnd Method (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

Completes the asynchronous signing operation.

Syntax

void __fastcall SignAsyncEnd(String AsyncReply);

Remarks

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

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

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

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

You then send the async state to the DC server (often represented by the DCAuth component), which processes it and produces a matching signature state. The async state produced by the server is then passed to the SignAsyncEnd method.

SignExternal Method (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

Signs the document using an external signing facility.

Syntax

void __fastcall SignExternal();

Remarks

Use this method to create an Authenticode signature using an external signing facility for the cryptographic computations. SignExternal 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 component fires ExternalSign event which allows to pass the hash value for signing.

Timestamp Method (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

Use this method to add a timestamp to a new or to an existing signature.

Syntax

void __fastcall Timestamp();

Remarks

Call this method to timestamp the signature(s). If only one of the existing signatures should be timestamped, specify its index using the SignatureIndex property.

Use the TimestampServer property to provide the address of the TSA (Time Stamping Authority) server which should be used for timestamping. Use the TimestampType property to specify the type of timestamp to create.

If a timestamp already exists, this will be handled according to the value of the TimestampConflictResolution config property.

Update Method (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

Update an existing signature (or all the signatures) by adding or removing its (their) custom unsigned attributes.

Syntax

void __fastcall Update();

Remarks

Call this method to add one or mode custom unsigned attributes to an existing signature (specify its index using the SignatureIndex property) or to all the existing signatures (set SignatureIndex to -1).

Use the UnsignedAttributes property to provide new attributes to be added. If an unsigned attribute with the same OID already exists, this will be handled according to the value of the AttributeConflictResolution config property.

If the UnsignedAttributes property is empty, all the existing unsigned attributes in the specified signature (or all the signatures) will be removed.

ChainElementDownload Event (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

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

Syntax

typedef struct {
  int Kind;
  String CertRDN;
  String CACertRDN;
  String Location;
  int Action;
} TsbxAuthenticodeSignerChainElementDownloadEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxAuthenticodeSignerChainElementDownloadEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxAuthenticodeSignerChainElementDownloadEventParams *e);
__property TsbxAuthenticodeSignerChainElementDownloadEvent OnChainElementDownload = { read=FOnChainElementDownload, write=FOnChainElementDownload };

Remarks

Subscribe to this event to be notified about validation element retrievals. Use the Action parameter to suppress the download if required.

veaAuto0Handle the action automatically (the default behaviour)

veaContinue1Accept the request implied by the event (accept the certificate, allow the object retrieval)

veaReject2Reject the request implied by the event (reject the certificate, disallow the object retrieval)

veaAcceptNow3Accept the validated certificate immediately

veaAbortNow4Abort the validation, reject the certificate

cekUnknown0Unknown or unsupported element type

cekCertificate1An X.509 certificate

cekCRL2A CRL

cekOCSP3An OCSP response

ChainElementNeeded Event (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

Fires when an element required to validate the chain was not located.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  int Kind;
  String CertRDN;
  String CACertRDN;
} TsbxAuthenticodeSignerChainElementNeededEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxAuthenticodeSignerChainElementNeededEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxAuthenticodeSignerChainElementNeededEventParams *e);
__property TsbxAuthenticodeSignerChainElementNeededEvent OnChainElementNeeded = { read=FOnChainElementNeeded, write=FOnChainElementNeeded };

Remarks

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

cekUnknown0Unknown or unsupported element type

cekCertificate1An X.509 certificate

cekCRL2A CRL

cekOCSP3An OCSP response

ChainValidationProgress Event (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

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

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String EventKind;
  String CertRDN;
  String CACertRDN;
  int Action;
} TsbxAuthenticodeSignerChainValidationProgressEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxAuthenticodeSignerChainValidationProgressEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxAuthenticodeSignerChainValidationProgressEventParams *e);
__property TsbxAuthenticodeSignerChainValidationProgressEvent OnChainValidationProgress = { read=FOnChainValidationProgress, write=FOnChainValidationProgress };

Remarks

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

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

veaAuto0Handle the action automatically (the default behaviour)

veaContinue1Accept the request implied by the event (accept the certificate, allow the object retrieval)

veaReject2Reject the request implied by the event (reject the certificate, disallow the object retrieval)

veaAcceptNow3Accept the validated certificate immediately

veaAbortNow4Abort the validation, reject the certificate

Error Event (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

Information about errors during Authenticode signing.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  int ErrorCode;
  String Description;
} TsbxAuthenticodeSignerErrorEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxAuthenticodeSignerErrorEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxAuthenticodeSignerErrorEventParams *e);
__property TsbxAuthenticodeSignerErrorEvent OnError = { read=FOnError, write=FOnError };

Remarks

This event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during binary processing.

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

ExternalSign Event (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

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

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String OperationId;
  String HashAlgorithm;
  String Pars;
  String Data;
  String SignedData;
} TsbxAuthenticodeSignerExternalSignEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxAuthenticodeSignerExternalSignEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxAuthenticodeSignerExternalSignEventParams *e);
__property TsbxAuthenticodeSignerExternalSignEvent OnExternalSign = { read=FOnExternalSign, write=FOnExternalSign };

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 the 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 contains algorithm-dependent parameters.

The component uses base16 (hex) encoding for the Data, SignedData, and Pars parameters. If your signing engine uses a different input and output encoding, you may need to decode and/or encode the data before and/or after the signing.

A sample MD5 hash encoded in base16: a0dee2a0382afbb09120ffa7ccd8a152 - lower case base16 A0DEE2A0382AFBB09120FFA7CCD8A152 - upper case base16

A sample event handler that uses the .NET RSACryptoServiceProvider class may look like the following: signer.OnExternalSign += (s, e) => { var cert = new X509Certificate2("cert.pfx", "", X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable); var key = (RSACryptoServiceProvider)cert.PrivateKey; var dataToSign = e.Data.FromBase16String(); var signedData = key.SignHash(dataToSign, "2.16.840.1.101.3.4.2.1"); e.SignedData = signedData.ToBase16String(); };

Notification Event (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

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

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String EventID;
  String EventParam;
} TsbxAuthenticodeSignerNotificationEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxAuthenticodeSignerNotificationEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxAuthenticodeSignerNotificationEventParams *e);
__property TsbxAuthenticodeSignerNotificationEvent OnNotification = { read=FOnNotification, write=FOnNotification };

Remarks

The component 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 the 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 component can fire this event with the following EventID values:

BeforeTimestampThis event is fired before a timestamp is requested from the timestamping authority. Use the event handler to modify TSA and HTTP settings.
TimestampErrorThis event is only fired if the component failed to obtain a timestamp from the timestamping authority. The EventParam parameter contains extended error info.
TimestampRequestA 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.

Start Event (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

This event is fired when the component is about to start the signing process.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  int SpecifiedChecksum;
  int ActualChecksum;
  bool IsSigned;
  bool Cancel;
} TsbxAuthenticodeSignerStartEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxAuthenticodeSignerStartEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxAuthenticodeSignerStartEventParams *e);
__property TsbxAuthenticodeSignerStartEvent OnStart = { read=FOnStart, write=FOnStart };

Remarks

This event marks the start of the signing process over a certain file.

SpecifiedChecksum is the checksum specified in the file itself, ActualChecksum is the actual checksum computed by the component, IsSigned specifies whether the file is already signed, and Cancel allows to stop the operation.

TimestampRequest Event (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

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

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String TSA;
  String TimestampRequest;
  String TimestampResponse;
  bool SuppressDefault;
} TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTimestampRequestEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTimestampRequestEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTimestampRequestEventParams *e);
__property TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTimestampRequestEvent OnTimestampRequest = { read=FOnTimestampRequest, write=FOnTimestampRequest };

Remarks

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

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

TLSCertNeeded Event (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

Fires when a remote TLS party requests a client certificate.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String Host;
  String CANames;
} TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTLSCertNeededEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTLSCertNeededEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTLSCertNeededEventParams *e);
__property TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTLSCertNeededEvent OnTLSCertNeeded = { read=FOnTLSCertNeeded, write=FOnTLSCertNeeded };

Remarks

This event fires to notify the implementation that a remote TLS server has requested a client certificate. The Host parameter identifies the host that makes a request, and the CANames parameter (optional, according to the TLS spec) advises on the accepted issuing CAs.

Use the TLSClientChain property in response to this event to provide the requested certificate. Please make sure the client certificate includes the associated private key. Note that you may set the certificates before the connection without waiting for this event to fire.

This event is preceded by the TLSHandshake event for the given host and, if the certificate was accepted, succeeded by the TLSEstablished event.

TLSCertValidate Event (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

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

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String ServerHost;
  String ServerIP;
  bool Accept;
} TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTLSCertValidateEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTLSCertValidateEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTLSCertValidateEventParams *e);
__property TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTLSCertValidateEvent OnTLSCertValidate = { read=FOnTLSCertValidate, write=FOnTLSCertValidate };

Remarks

This event is fired during a TLS handshake. Use the TLSServerChain property to access the certificate chain. In general, 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.

TLSEstablished Event (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

Fires when a TLS handshake with Host successfully completes.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String Host;
  String Version;
  String Ciphersuite;
  DynamicArray ConnectionId;
  bool Abort;
} TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTLSEstablishedEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTLSEstablishedEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTLSEstablishedEventParams *e);
__property TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTLSEstablishedEvent OnTLSEstablished = { read=FOnTLSEstablished, write=FOnTLSEstablished };

Remarks

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

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

TLSHandshake Event (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

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

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String Host;
  bool Abort;
} TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTLSHandshakeEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTLSHandshakeEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTLSHandshakeEventParams *e);
__property TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTLSHandshakeEvent OnTLSHandshake = { read=FOnTLSHandshake, write=FOnTLSHandshake };

Remarks

The component uses this event to notify the application about the start of a new TLS handshake to Host. If the handshake is successful, this event will be followed by the TLSEstablished event. If the server chooses to request a client certificate, the TLSCertNeeded event will also be fired.

TLSShutdown Event (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

Reports the graceful closure of a TLS connection.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String Host;
} TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTLSShutdownEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTLSShutdownEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTLSShutdownEventParams *e);
__property TsbxAuthenticodeSignerTLSShutdownEvent OnTLSShutdown = { read=FOnTLSShutdown, write=FOnTLSShutdown };

Remarks

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

Config Settings (AuthenticodeSigner Component)

The component 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 component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

AuthenticodeSigner Config Settings

AttributeConflictResolution:   Specifies how to resolve updating conflicts.

Use this property to specify what to do when a custom unsigned attribute with the same OID already exists. Default: tcrInsert. Available options are:

acrInsert0Add one more unsigned attribute with the same OID.
acrIgnore1Do nothing.
acrReplace2Replace the existing unsigned attribute with the provided one.
acrError3Throw an error.
BufferSize:   Specifies processing buffer size in bytes.

Use this property to set the buffer size (in bytes) that should be used when processing binaries. The default value is 1048576 (1 MB).

ChainCurrentCACert:   Returns the current CA certificate.

This property returns the CA certificate that is used on the current step.

ChainCurrentCert:   Returns the certificate that is currently being validated.

Use this property to obtain the body of the certificate that is currently being validated.

ChainCurrentCRL:   Returns the current CRL.

Returns the CRL object that is currently being processed.

ChainCurrentCRLSize:   Returns the size of the current CRL.

This property returns the size of the CRL object that is currently being processed.

ChainCurrentOCSP:   Returns the current OCSP response.

Returns the OCSP object that is currently being processed.

ChainCurrentOCSPSigner:   Returns the signer of the current OCSP object.

Returns the signer/CA that has issued the OCSP response that is currently being processed.

ChainInterimDetails:   Returns the current interim validation details.

This property returns the interim chain validation details.

ChainInterimResult:   Returns the current interim validation result.

Use this setting to obtain the current (mid-chain) validation result. This property applies to the current validation step and may change as the chain walk proceeds. The final result will be published in the ChainValidationResult property once the validation process completes.

CheckValidityPeriodForTrusted:   Whether to check validity period for trusted certificates.

Whether to check validity period for trusted certificates.

DislikeOpenEndedOCSPs:   Tells the component to discourage OCSP responses without an explicit NextUpdate parameter.

When this property is set to True, the validation engine treats OCSP response without a NextUpdate field as 'substandard' and tries to obtain some further revocation material for the certificate in question (a different OCSP or a CRL, even if the component is configured to prefer the OCSP route). This is to work around Adobe Reader's intolerance to such OCSPs when classifying signed documents as LTV (as of August 2022).

ForceCompleteChainValidation:   Whether to check the CA certificates when the signing certificate is invalid.

Set this property to True to check issuer (CA) certificates if the signing or an intermediate chain 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.

IgnoreChainLoops:   Whether chain loops should be ignored.

Set this property to True to make the validation engine ignore chain loops. This may be an option when you need to process chains from buggy CAs that happen to include subchains that sign themselves.

IgnoreOCSPNoCheckExtension:   Whether the OCSP NoCheck extension should be ignored.

Set this property to True 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 the 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 emulating the verifying environment without actually changing its security settings.

PromoteLongOCSPResponses:   Whether long OCSP responses are requested.

Set this property to True to force the component to publish the 'long' form of OCSP responses. Otherwise, only BasicOCSPResponse blobs are promoted.

PSSUsed:   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. This is an alias for UsePSS.

TempPath:   Path for storing temporary files.

This setting specifies an absolute path to the location on disk where temporary files are stored. Path for storing temporary files.

This setting specifies an absolute path to the location on disk where temporary files are stored.

TempPath:   Path for storing temporary files.

This setting specifies an absolute path to the location on disk where temporary files are stored. Path for storing temporary files.

This setting specifies an absolute path to the location on disk where temporary files are stored.

TimestampConflictResolution:   Specifies how to resolve timestamping conflicts.

Use this property to specify how timestamping conflicts should be resolved. Default value: tcrIgnore. Available options are:

tcrIgnore0Do nothing.
tcrReplace1Replace the existing timestamp with a new one.
tcrError2Throw an error.
TimestampResponse:   A base16-encoded timestamp response received from a TSA.

When using virtual:// timestamp endpoints, assign this property in your Notification event handler with the TSP response that you receive from the TSA. Remember to encode the response in hex (base16).

TLSChainValidationDetails:   Contains the advanced details of the TLS server certificate validation.

Check this property in the TLSCertValidate event handler to access the TLS certificate validation details.

TLSChainValidationResult:   Contains the result of the TLS server certificate validation.

Check this property in the TLSCertValidate event handler to obtain the TLS certificate validation result.

TLSClientAuthRequested:   Indicates whether the TLS server requests client authentication.

Check this property in the 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 the 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 the TLSCertValidate event handler to retrieve the validation log of the TLS server.

TolerateMinorChainIssues:   Whether to tolerate minor chain issues.

This parameter controls whether the chain validator should tolerate minor technical issues when validating the chain. Those are:

  • CA, revocation source, TLS key usage requirements are not mandated
  • Violation of OCSP issuer requirements are ignored
  • The AuthorityKeyID extension in CRL- and certificate-issuing CAs are ignored (helps with incorrectly renewed certificates)
  • Basic constraints and name constraints of CA certificates are ignored
  • Some weaker algorithms are tolerated
TspAttemptCount:   Specifies the number of timestamping request attempts.

Use this property to specify a number of timestamping request attempts.

In case of a timestamping failure, provide new TSA and HTTP settings inside the Notification event handler ('BeforeTimestamp' and 'TimestampError' event IDs).

TspHashAlgorithm:   Sets a specific hash algorithm for use with the timestamping service.

In default configuration component uses the 'SHA256' hash algorithm. Use this property to specify a different hash algorithm for the timestamp.

TspReqPolicy:   Sets a request policy ID to include in the timestamping request.

Use this property to provide a specific request policy OID to include in the timestamping request. Use the standard human-readable OID notation (1.2.3.4.5).

UseMicrosoftCTL:   Enables or disables the automatic use of the 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 the chain validation module to 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.

UseValidationCache:   Enables or disable the use of the product-wide certificate chain validation cache.

Use this property to enable or disable the use of the global chain validation cache. If enabled, the component will consult the product-wide validation cache when validating the signing chains. Also, the outcomes of any new chain validations performed by the component, both interim and final, will be saved in the cache and available for re-use by any future validations. Disable this property to ignore the cache and always perform the validation from a fresh start.

UseValidatorSettingsForTLSValidation:   Whether to employ the primary chain validator setup for auxiliary TLS chain validations.

Use this property to specify whether you would like to use the primary (AdES) chain validator component to validate TLS chains for any connections involved (OCSP, CRL).

Base Config Settings

ASN1UseGlobalTagCache:   Controls whether ASN.1 module should use a global object cache.

This is a performance setting. It is unlikely that you will ever need to adjust it.

AssignSystemSmartCardPins:   Specifies whether CSP-level PINs should be assigned to CNG keys.

This is a low-level tweak for certain cryptographic providers. It is unlikely that you will ever need to adjust it.

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 component.

Supported values are:

offNo caching (default)
localLocal caching
globalGlobal caching

Cookies:   Gets or sets local cookies for the component.

Use this property to get cookies from the internal cookie storage of the component 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.

DNSLocalSuffix:   The suffix to assign for TLD names.

Use this global setting to adjust the default suffix to assign to top-level domain names. The default is .local.

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 components that have its CookieCaching property set to "global".

HardwareCryptoUsePolicy:   The hardware crypto usage policy.

This global setting controls the hardware cryptography usage policy: auto, enable, or disable.

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 components.

HttpVersion:   The HTTP version to use in any inner HTTP client components created.

Set this property to 1.0 or 1.1 to indicate the HTTP version that any internal HTTP clients should use.

IgnoreExpiredMSCTLSigningCert:   Whether to tolerate the expired Windows Update signing certificate.

It is not uncommon for Microsoft Windows Update Certificate Trust List to be signed with an expired Microsoft certificate. Setting this global property to true makes SBB ignore the expired factor and take the Trust List into account.

ListDelimiter:   The delimiter character for multi-element lists.

Allows to set the delimiter for any multi-entry values returned by the component as a string object, such as file lists. For most of the components, this property is set to a newline sequence.

LogDestination:   Specifies the debug log destination.

Contains a comma-separated list of values that specifies where debug log should be dumped.

Supported values are:

fileFile
consoleConsole
systemlogSystem Log (supported for Android only)
debuggerDebugger (supported for VCL for Windows and .Net)

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:

timeCurrent time
levelLevel
packagePackage name
moduleModule name
classClass name
methodMethod name
threadidThread Id
contenttypeContent type

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:

exclude-packageExclude a package specified in the value
exclude-moduleExclude a module specified in the value
exclude-classExclude a class specified in the value
exclude-methodExclude a method specified in the value
include-packageInclude a package specified in the value
include-moduleInclude a module specified in the value
include-classInclude a class specified in the value
include-methodInclude a method specified in the value

LogFlushMode:   Specifies the log flush mode.

Use this property to set the log flush mode. The following values are defined:

noneNo flush (caching only)
immediateImmediate flush (real-time logging)
maxcountFlush cached entries upon reaching LogMaxEventCount entries in the cache.

LogLevel:   Specifies the debug log level.

Use this property to provide the desired debug log level.

Supported values are:

noneNone (by default)
fatalSevere errors that cause premature termination.
errorOther runtime errors or unexpected conditions.
warningUse of deprecated APIs, poor use of API, 'almost' errors, other runtime situations that are undesirable or unexpected, but not necessarily "wrong".
infoInteresting runtime events (startup/shutdown).
debugDetailed information on flow of through the system.
traceMore detailed information.

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:

noneNo rotation
deleteolderDelete older entries from the cache upon reaching LogMaxEventCount
keepolderKeep older entries in the cache upon reaching LogMaxEventCount (newer entries are discarded)

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.

OldClientSideRSAFallback:   Specifies whether the SSH client should use a SHA1 fallback.

Tells the SSH client to use a legacy ssh-rsa authentication even if the server indicates support for newer algorithms, such as rsa-sha-256. This is a backward-compatibility tweak.

ProductVersion:   Returns the version of the SecureBlackbox library.

This property returns the long version string of the SecureBlackbox library being used (major.minor.build.revision).

ServerSSLDHKeyLength:   Sets the size of the TLS DHE key exchange group.

Use this property to adjust the length, in bits, of the DHE prime to be used by the TLS server.

StaticDNS:   Specifies whether static DNS rules should be used.

Set this property to enable or disable static DNS rules for the component. Works only if UseOwnDNSResolver is set to true.

Supported values are:

noneNo static DNS rules (default)
localLocal static DNS rules
globalGlobal static DNS rules

StaticIPAddress[domain]:   Gets or sets an IP address for the specified domain name.

Use this property to get or set an IP address for the specified domain name in the internal (of the component) or global DNS rules storage depending on the StaticDNS value. The type of the IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) is determined automatically. If both addresses are available, they are devided by the | (pipe) character.

StaticIPAddresses:   Gets or sets all the static DNS rules.

Use this property to get static DNS rules from the current rules storage or restore them back between application sessions. If StaticDNS of the component is set to "local", the property returns/restores the rules from/to the internal storage of the component. If StaticDNS of the component is set to "global", the property returns/restores the rules from/to the GLOBAL storage. The rules list is returned and accepted in JSON format.

Tag:   Allows to store any custom data.

Use this config property to store any custom data.

TLSSessionGroup:   Specifies the group name of TLS sessions to be used for session resumption.

Use this property to limit the search of chached TLS sessions to the specified group. Sessions from other groups will be ignored. By default, all sessions are cached with an empty group name and available to all the components.

TLSSessionLifetime:   Specifies lifetime in seconds of the cached TLS session.

Use this property to specify how much time the TLS session should be kept in the session cache. After this time, the session expires and will be automatically removed from the cache. Default value is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

TLSSessionPurgeInterval:   Specifies how often the session cache should remove the expired TLS sessions.

Use this property to specify the time interval of purging the expired TLS sessions from the session cache. Default value is 60 seconds (1 minute).

UseInternalRandom:   Switches between SecureBlackbox-own and platform PRNGs.

Allows to switch between internal/native PRNG implementation and the one provided by the platform.

UseLegacyAdESValidation:   Enables legacy AdES validation mode.

Use this setting to switch the AdES component to the validation approach that was used in SBB 2020/SBB 2022 (less attention to temporal details).

UseOwnDNSResolver:   Specifies whether the client components should use own DNS resolver.

Set this global property to false to force all the client components to use the DNS resolver provided by the target OS instead of using own one.

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.

UseSystemNativeSizeCalculation:   An internal CryptoAPI access tweak.

This is an internal setting. Please do not use it unless instructed by the support team.

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.
