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.

Config Settings (XMLEncryptor 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.

XMLEncryptor Config Settings

EncryptedDataID:   Specifies the ID for EncryptedData element.

This property contains the identifier (ID) attribute of the xenc:EncryptedData element.

EncryptedKeyID:   Specifies the ID for EncryptedKey element.

This property contains the identifier (ID) attribute of the xenc:EncryptedKey element.

EncryptedKeyInfoCustomXML:   The custom XML content for EncryptedKey\KeyInfo element.

Use this property to specify the custom XML content of the xenc:EncryptedKey\ds:KeyInfo element.

The empty elements in the custom XML content act as a placeholder for auto-generated elements.

For example to change the order of ds:KeyValue and ds:X509Data auto-generated elements use the value: "<X509Data/><KeyValue/>"

EncryptedKeyInfoID:   Specifies the ID for EncryptedKey\KeyInfo element.

This property contains the identifier (ID) attribute of the xenc:EncryptedKey\ds:KeyInfo element.

EncryptedKeyOnly:   Specifies whether to create only EncryptedKey element.

Set this property to True to create only xenc:EncryptedKey element.

EncryptedKeyXMLElement:   Specifies the XML element where to save the encrypted key element.

This property specifies the XML element where to save the xenc:EncryptedKey element.

Supported values are:

""an empty string indicates the Document element
"#id"indicates an XML element with specified Id
XPath expressionindicates an XML element selected using XPath expression. Use AddKnownNamespace method to specify Prefixes and NamespaceURIs

For example:

"/root/data[1]" - indicates the second "data" element under the document element with a name "root"

"//ns1:data" - indicates a data element. "ns1" prefix should be defined via AddKnownNamespace method.

Node nameindicates an XML element selected using its NodeName.

For example: "data" - indicates an XML element with node name "data".

EncryptionPrefix:   Specifies the encryption prefix.

Specifies the prefix for the EncryptedData elements.

Default value is "xenc". In this case "xenc:" prefix will be used.

Special values:

"#default" or ""indicates that the prefix will be omitted.
"#auto"indicates that the prefix will be auto-detected based on the parent nodes.

KeyInfoCustomXML:   The custom XML content for KeyInfo element.

Use this property to specify the custom XML content of the ds:KeyInfo element.

The empty elements in the custom XML content act as a placeholder for auto-generated elements.

For example to change the order of ds:KeyValue and ds:X509Data auto-generated elements use the value: "<X509Data/><KeyValue/>"

KeyInfoID:   Specifies the ID for KeyInfo element.

This property contains the identifier (ID) attribute of the ds:KeyInfo element.

KeyName:   Contains information about the key used for encryption.

The KeyName element contains a string value (with significant whitespaces) which may be used by the encryptor to communicate a key identifier to the recipient. Typically, the KeyName element contains an identifier related to the key pair used to sign the message, but it may contain other protocol-related information that indirectly identifies a key pair. Common uses of the KeyName include simple string names for keys, a key index, a distinguished name (DN), an email address, etc.

MimeType:   Specifies the mime type of the encrypted data.

MimeType is an optional (advisory) attribute which describes the media type of the data which is encrypted. The value of this attribute is a string with values defined by MIME specification (RFC 2045). For example, if the data that is encrypted is a base64 encoded PNG, the transfer Encoding may be specified as 'http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#base64' and the MimeType as 'image/png'. This attribute is purely advisory; no validation of the MimeType information is required and it does not indicate the encryption application must do any additional processing.

SignaturePrefix:   Specifies the signature prefix.

Specifies the prefix for the Signature elements.

Default value is "ds". In this case "ds:" prefix will be used.

Special values:

"#default" or ""indicates that the prefix will be omitted.
"#auto"indicates that the prefix will be auto-detected based on the parent nodes.

TempPath:   Path for storing temporary files.

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

WriteBOM:   Specifies whether byte-order mark should be written when saving the document.

Set this property to False to disable writing byte-order mark (BOM) when saving the XML document in Unicode encoding.

XMLFormatting:   Specifies the signature XML formatting.

Use this property to specify how the signature should be formatted.

Supported values:

"" or "none"no formatting (by default).
"auto"enables auto-formatting, equivalent to: "indent: 1; indent-char: tab; base64-max-length: 64; starting-level: node"
Custom values, contains a list of value pairs ("name:value") separated by comma or semicolon:
indentspecifies indentation level (default is 1)
indent-charspecifies indentation character: "space" or "tab" (default)
base64-max-lengthspecifies max length of base64 encoded data, such as signature value, certificate data and etc. (default is 64)
starting-levelspecifies starting indentation level: non-negative integer or "node" - detected based on parent node, or "root" - detected based on number of parent nodes to a document element (default is "node").
indent-before-mainspecifies if whitespace characters should be inserted before a main (ds:Signature) element: "auto" (default), "yes" or "no"
For more preciese formatting use OnFormatText and OnFormatElement events.

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.

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.
