ExternalCryptoKeyID Property (OfficeQuickSigner 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

Config Method (OfficeQuickSigner 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 (OfficeQuickSigner 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 (OfficeQuickSigner 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 (OfficeQuickSigner Component)
Resets the component settings.
Syntax
void __fastcall Reset();
Remarks
Reset is a generic method available in every component.
Sign Method (OfficeQuickSigner Component)
Calculates the signature value.
Syntax
void __fastcall Sign();
Remarks
Call this method to generate a signature over the document.
SignAsyncBegin Method (OfficeQuickSigner 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 (OfficeQuickSigner 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.
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.
SignExternal Method (OfficeQuickSigner Component)
Signs the document using an external signing facility.
Syntax
void __fastcall SignExternal();
Remarks
Call this method to delegate the low-level signing operation to an external, remote, or custom signing engine. This method is useful if the signature has to be made by a device accessible through a custom or non-standard signing interface.
When all preparations are done and hash is computed, the component fires ExternalSign event which allows to pass the hash value for signing.
Error Event (OfficeQuickSigner Component)
Information about errors during signing.
Syntax
typedef struct { int ErrorCode; String Description; } TsbxOfficeQuickSignerErrorEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxOfficeQuickSignerErrorEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxOfficeQuickSignerErrorEventParams *e); __property TsbxOfficeQuickSignerErrorEvent OnError = { read=FOnError, write=FOnError };
Remarks
This event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during the office document processing.
ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error.
ExternalSign Event (OfficeQuickSigner 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; } TsbxOfficeQuickSignerExternalSignEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxOfficeQuickSignerExternalSignEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxOfficeQuickSignerExternalSignEventParams *e); __property TsbxOfficeQuickSignerExternalSignEvent 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 (OfficeQuickSigner Component)
This event notifies the application about an underlying control flow event.
Syntax
typedef struct { String EventID; String EventParam; } TsbxOfficeQuickSignerNotificationEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxOfficeQuickSignerNotificationEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxOfficeQuickSignerNotificationEventParams *e); __property TsbxOfficeQuickSignerNotificationEvent 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:
DocumentLoaded | Reports the completion of Office document processing by the component. Use the event handler to access document-related information. The EventParam value passed with this EventID is empty. |
RetrieveQualifyingProperties | TBD |
SignaturesLoaded | Notifies the application that the component has finished loading signatures. |
BeforeTimestamp | This event is fired before a timestamp is requested from the timestamping authority. Use the event handler to modify TSA and HTTP settings. |
TimestampError | This event is only fired if the component failed to obtain a timestamp from the timestamping authority. The EventParam parameter contains extended error info. |
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. |
Config Settings (OfficeQuickSigner 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.OfficeQuickSigner Config Settings
For example, if the corresponding ds:Reference element has an Id "reference-id-1", then you should set this property to "#reference-id-1" value.
