TimestampServer Property (MessageTimestamper Component)

The address of the timestamping server.

Syntax

__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.

enum TsbxMessageTimestamperTLSRevocationChecks {
  crcNone=0,

};

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.

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.

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.

Notification Event (MessageTimestamper Component)

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

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String EventID;
  String EventParam;
} TsbxMessageTimestamperNotificationEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxMessageTimestamperNotificationEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxMessageTimestamperNotificationEventParams *e);
__property TsbxMessageTimestamperNotificationEvent 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:

TimestampRequest Event (MessageTimestamper 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;
} TsbxMessageTimestamperTimestampRequestEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxMessageTimestamperTimestampRequestEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxMessageTimestamperTimestampRequestEventParams *e);
__property TsbxMessageTimestamperTimestampRequestEvent 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 (MessageTimestamper Component)

Fires when a remote TLS party requests a client certificate.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String Host;
  String CANames;
} TsbxMessageTimestamperTLSCertNeededEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxMessageTimestamperTLSCertNeededEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxMessageTimestamperTLSCertNeededEventParams *e);
__property TsbxMessageTimestamperTLSCertNeededEvent 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 (MessageTimestamper 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;
} TsbxMessageTimestamperTLSCertValidateEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxMessageTimestamperTLSCertValidateEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxMessageTimestamperTLSCertValidateEventParams *e);
__property TsbxMessageTimestamperTLSCertValidateEvent 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 (MessageTimestamper Component)

Fires when a TLS handshake with Host successfully completes.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String Host;
  String Version;
  String Ciphersuite;
  DynamicArray ConnectionId;

__property TsbxMessageTimestamperTLSEstablishedEvent 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 (MessageTimestamper Component)

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

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String Host;
  bool Abort;
} TsbxMessageTimestamperTLSHandshakeEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxMessageTimestamperTLSHandshakeEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxMessageTimestamperTLSHandshakeEventParams *e);
__property TsbxMessageTimestamperTLSHandshakeEvent 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 (MessageTimestamper Component)

Reports the graceful closure of a TLS connection.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String Host;
} TsbxMessageTimestamperTLSShutdownEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxMessageTimestamperTLSShutdownEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxMessageTimestamperTLSShutdownEventParams *e);
__property TsbxMessageTimestamperTLSShutdownEvent 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 (MessageTimestamper Component)
