The MessageTimestampVerifier component verifies timestamped messages.

Syntax

TsbxMessageTimestampVerifier

Remarks

PKCS#7 (Public Key Cryptography Standard #7) is a common format used to store encrypted and signed data. It is used by a variety of protocols, including S/MIME and CMS. MessageTimestampVerifier can process timestamps in one of the following formats:

• PKCS#7 TimestampedData (RFC5544),
• PKCS#7 TimestampToken (CMS), and
• PKCS#7 TSPReply (RFC3161).

 
 Copy
MessageTimestampVerifier timestampVerifier = new MessageTimestampVerifier();

// Select the file which contains the message that is timestamped
timestampVerifier.setInputFile("timestampedMessage.bin");

// Select the file where the output will be written
timestampVerifier.setOutputFile("verifiedTimestamp.txt");

timestampVerifier.verify(); // verify

System.out.println("Validation result: " + timestampVerifier.getSignatureValidationResult() + "\n" +
        "Signing time: " + timestampVerifier.getValidatedSigningTime() + "\n" +
        "TSA certificate: " + timestampVerifier.getSigningCertificate().getSubjectRDN());

// Output: 
//   Validation result: 0 // 0 == svtValid
//   Signing time: 2024-05-16 14:54:33
//   TSA certificate: /C=US/O=Big Little Timestamping Service/CN=Big Little Timestamper

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

Data Type

Integer

CertBytes Property (MessageTimestampVerifier Component)

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

Syntax

__property DynamicArray CertBytes[int CertIndex] = { read=FCertBytes };

Remarks

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

The CertIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the CertCount property.

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

Data Type

Byte Array

CertCA Property (MessageTimestampVerifier Component)

Indicates whether the certificate has a CA capability.

Syntax

__property bool CertCA[int CertIndex] = { read=FCertCA };

Default Value

false

Remarks

Indicates whether the certificate has a CA capability. For the certificate to be considered a CA, it must have its Basic Constraints extension set with the CA indicator enabled.

Set this property when generating a new certificate to have its Basic Constraints extension generated automatically.

The CertIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the CertCount property.

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

Data Type

Boolean

CertCAKeyID Property (MessageTimestampVerifier Component)

A unique identifier (fingerprint) of the CA certificate's cryptographic key.

Syntax

__property DynamicArray CertCAKeyID[int CertIndex] = { read=FCertCAKeyID };

Remarks

A unique identifier (fingerprint) of the CA certificate's cryptographic key.

Authority Key Identifier is a certificate extension which allows identification of certificates belonging to the same issuer, but with different public keys. It is a de-facto standard to include this extension in all certificates to facilitate chain building.

This setting cannot be set when generating a certificate as it always derives from another certificate property. CertificateManager generates this setting automatically if enough information is available to it: for self-signed certificates, this value is copied from the CertSubjectKeyID setting, and for lower-level certificates, from the parent certificate's subject key ID extension.

The CertIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the CertCount property.

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

Data Type

Byte Array

CertCertType Property (MessageTimestampVerifier Component)

Returns the type of the entity contained in the Certificate object.

Syntax

__property TsbxMessageTimestampVerifierCertCertTypes CertCertType[int CertIndex] = { read=FCertCertType };

  ctUnknown=0,
  ctX509Certificate=1,
  ctX509CertificateRequest=2
};

Default Value

ctUnknown

Remarks

Returns the type of the entity contained in the Certificate object.

A Certificate object can contain two types of cryptographic objects: a ready-to-use X.509 certificate, or a certificate request ("an unsigned certificate"). Certificate requests can be upgraded to full certificates by signing them with a CA certificate.

Use the CertificateManager component to load or create new certificate and certificate requests objects.

The CertIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the CertCount property.

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

Data Type

Integer

Syntax

__property String CertCRLDistributionPoints[int CertIndex] = { read=FCertCRLDistributionPoints };

Default Value

""

Remarks

Contains a list of locations of CRL distribution points used to check this certificate's validity. The list is taken from the respective certificate extension.

Use this property when generating a certificate to provide a list of CRL endpoints that should be made part of the new certificate.

The endpoints are provided as a list of CRLF-separated URLs. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the location separator.

The CertIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the CertCount property.

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

Data Type

String

CertCurve Property (MessageTimestampVerifier Component)

Specifies the elliptic curve associated with the certificate's public key.

Syntax

__property String CertCurve[int CertIndex] = { read=FCertCurve };

Default Value

""

Remarks

Contains the fingerprint (a hash imprint) of this certificate.

While there is no formal standard defining what a fingerprint is, a SHA1 hash of the certificate's DER-encoded body is typically used.

The CertIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the CertCount property.

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

Data Type

String

CertFriendlyName Property (MessageTimestampVerifier Component)

Contains an associated alias (friendly name) of the certificate.

Syntax

__property String CertFriendlyName[int CertIndex] = { read=FCertFriendlyName };

Default Value

""

Remarks

Contains an associated alias (friendly name) of the certificate. The friendly name is not a property of a certificate: it is maintained by the certificate media rather than being included in its DER representation. Windows certificate stores are one example of media that does support friendly names.

The CertIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the CertCount property.

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

Data Type

String

CertHandle Property (MessageTimestampVerifier Component)

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.

 
 Copy
  pdfSigner.setSigningCertHandle(certMgr.getCertHandle());

Default Value

0

Remarks

Returns the length of the public key in bits.

This value indicates the length of the principal cryptographic parameter of the key, such as the length of the RSA modulus or ECDSA field. The key data returned by the CertPublicKeyBytes or CertPrivateKeyBytes property would typically contain auxiliary values, and therefore be longer.

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

Data Type

Boolean

SigningCertCAKeyID Property (MessageTimestampVerifier Component)

A unique identifier (fingerprint) of the CA certificate's cryptographic key.

Syntax

__property DynamicArray SigningCertCAKeyID = { read=FSigningCertCAKeyID };

Remarks

A unique identifier (fingerprint) of the CA certificate's cryptographic key.

Authority Key Identifier is a certificate extension which allows identification of certificates belonging to the same issuer, but with different public keys. It is a de-facto standard to include this extension in all certificates to facilitate chain building.

This setting cannot be set when generating a certificate as it always derives from another certificate property. CertificateManager generates this setting automatically if enough information is available to it: for self-signed certificates, this value is copied from the SigningCertSubjectKeyID setting, and for lower-level certificates, from the parent certificate's subject key ID extension.

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

Data Type

Byte Array

SigningCertCertType Property (MessageTimestampVerifier Component)

Byte Array

SigningCertPrivateKeyExists Property (MessageTimestampVerifier Component)

Indicates whether the certificate has a usable private key associated with it.

Syntax

__property bool SigningCertPrivateKeyExists = { read=FSigningCertPrivateKeyExists };

Default Value

false

Remarks

Indicates whether the certificate has a usable private key associated with it. If it is set to True, the certificate can be used for private key operations, such as signing or decryption.
