CertCAKeyID Property (XMLVerifier 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

  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.

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

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.

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

CertKeyFingerprint Property (XMLVerifier Component)

Unsign Method (XMLVerifier Component)

Deletes a signature from the document.

Syntax

void __fastcall Unsign(String SigLabel);

Remarks

Use this method to delete an existing signature from the document. Use SigLabel parameter to specify the signature to be removed.

Verify Method (XMLVerifier Component)

Verifies a signed XML document.

Syntax

void __fastcall Verify();

Remarks

Call this method to verify the signature embedded in the document. Pass the document via InputStream or InputFile property. Use VerifyDetached to verify the external data in case of a detached signature.

VerifyDetached Method (XMLVerifier Component)

Verifies a detached signature over external XML data.

Syntax

void __fastcall VerifyDetached();

Remarks

Call this method to verify a signature over external (detached) data provided via DataStream or DataFile.

DocumentLoaded Event (XMLVerifier Component)

This event is fired when the document has been loaded into memory.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  bool Cancel;
} TsbxXMLVerifierDocumentLoadedEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxXMLVerifierDocumentLoadedEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxXMLVerifierDocumentLoadedEventParams *e);
__property TsbxXMLVerifierDocumentLoadedEvent OnDocumentLoaded = { read=FOnDocumentLoaded, write=FOnDocumentLoaded };

Remarks

The handler for this event is a good place to check document properties, which may be useful when preparing the signature, for example, the document format.

Set Cancel to true to terminate document processing on this stage.

Error Event (XMLVerifier Component)

Information about errors during signature verification.

Syntax

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

Remarks

The event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during verification.

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 XML.

Notification Event (XMLVerifier Component)

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

Syntax

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

ReferenceValidated Event (XMLVerifier Component)

Marks the end of a reference validation.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  int ReferenceIndex;
  String ID;
  String URI;
  String RefType;
  bool DigestValid;
} TsbxXMLVerifierReferenceValidatedEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxXMLVerifierReferenceValidatedEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxXMLVerifierReferenceValidatedEventParams *e);
__property TsbxXMLVerifierReferenceValidatedEvent OnReferenceValidated = { read=FOnReferenceValidated, write=FOnReferenceValidated };

Remarks

The component fires this event to report completion of a reference validation. A reference is a building block of a signature as it binds signature coverage to a particular piece of the document.

ResolveReference Event (XMLVerifier Component)

Asks the application to resolve a reference.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  int ReferenceIndex;
  String URI;
} TsbxXMLVerifierResolveReferenceEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxXMLVerifierResolveReferenceEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxXMLVerifierResolveReferenceEventParams *e);
__property TsbxXMLVerifierResolveReferenceEvent OnResolveReference = { read=FOnResolveReference, write=FOnResolveReference };

Remarks

This event is fired when the control could not automatically resolve a reference and requires custom treatment.

URI contains a reference to the data.

ReferenceIndex specifies the index of the reference to process.

Based on the reference's URI the event handler should set either TargetXMLElement or TargetData property of the reference.

SignatureFound Event (XMLVerifier Component)

Signifies the start of signature validation.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  int Index;
  String EntityLabel;
  String IssuerRDN;
  DynamicArray SerialNumber;
  DynamicArray SubjectKeyID;
  bool CertFound;
  bool ValidateSignature;
  bool ValidateChain;
} TsbxXMLVerifierSignatureFoundEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxXMLVerifierSignatureFoundEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxXMLVerifierSignatureFoundEventParams *e);
__property TsbxXMLVerifierSignatureFoundEvent OnSignatureFound = { read=FOnSignatureFound, write=FOnSignatureFound };

Remarks

This event tells the application that signature validation is about to start, and provides the details about the signer's certificate via its IssuerRDN, SerialNumber, and SubjectKeyID parameters. It fires for every signature located in the verified document or message.

The CertFound parameter is set to True if the component has found the needed certificate in one of the known locations, and to False otherwise, in which case you must provide it manually via the KnownCertificates property.

Signature validation consists of two independent stages: cryptographic signature validation and chain validation. Separate validation results are reported for each, with the and properties respectively.

Use the ValidateSignature and ValidateChain parameters to tell the verifier which stages to include in the validation.

SignatureValidated Event (XMLVerifier Component)

Marks the completion of the signature validation routine.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  int Index;
  String EntityLabel;
  String IssuerRDN;
  DynamicArray SerialNumber;
  DynamicArray SubjectKeyID;
  int ValidationResult;
  bool Cancel;
} TsbxXMLVerifierSignatureValidatedEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxXMLVerifierSignatureValidatedEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxXMLVerifierSignatureValidatedEventParams *e);
__property TsbxXMLVerifierSignatureValidatedEvent OnSignatureValidated = { read=FOnSignatureValidated, write=FOnSignatureValidated };

Remarks

This event is fired upon the completion of the signature validation routine, and reports the respective validation result.

Use the IssuerRDN, SerialNumber, and/or SubjectKeyID parameters to identify the signing certificate.

ValidationResult is set to 0 if the validation has been successful, or to a non-zero value in case of a validation failure.

Config Settings (XMLVerifier 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.
