CAdESSigner Class
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The CAdESSigner class creates CAdES- and CMS-compliant electronic signatures.
Syntax
CAdESSigner
Remarks
CAdESSigner can sign documents and files in compliance with CMS Advanced Electronic Signatures (CAdES) specification.
Originally developed by ETSI on the basis of PKCS#7 format and initially adopted in the European Union,
CAdES has quickly become a recognized international standard for signing all sorts of electronic documents.
CAdESSigner signer = new CAdESSigner();
signer.getNewSignature().setHashAlgorithm("SHA512"); // Default hashing algorithm SHA256
signer.getNewSignature().setLevel(CAdESSignature.aslBaselineT); // Set the level of the signature
// Select the file which will be signed
signer.setInputFile("MyExe.exe");
// Set the path where the signed file will be saved
signer.setOutputFile("signedFile.scs");
// Specify the certificate that shall be used for signing
signer.setSigningCertificate(new Certificate("cert.pfx","password"));
// Provide the address of the Time Stamping Authority (TSA) server to be used for timestamping the signature
signer.setTimestampServer("http://freetsa.org/tsr");
signer.sign(); // Sign
Besides being a signature standard in its own right, CAdES is used as part of other higher-level signature standards, such as PAdES or S/MIME. It provides a convenient framework for creating short-lived and long-term signatures over any kind of documents, and is now used by governments, healthcare providers, banks, and independent service providers all across the globe.
Standards and technologies supported
CAdESSigner offers the following signing capabilities:
- Create and upgrade CAdES signatures in accordance with the most recent CAdES specification (ETSI EN 319 122). Some features from older versions are also supported.
- All profiles are supported (BES, EPES, T, C, X, XL, A, including Baseline and Extended variants).
- Timestamping using external TSAs.
- All industry-standard cryptographic algorithms (RSA, ECDSA, SHA256-512, and many others).
Configuring the signature parameters
Configuring CAdESSigner to make it produce a signature of the right type is the main task you would need to perform in your code. Normally the service or software you will be communicating your signed documents to will provide you with the list of requirements that your signatures should match.
Typically, those will dictate the following key aspects of the signatures:
- The signature Level (such BES, T, XL, A, or XLong). This can be passed as the Level parameter of the Sign method.
- Whether the signature should be detached or enveloping: this can be adjusted via the Detached parameter of the Sign method.
- When creating a timestamped signature (such as T or A), provide the address of your online TSA service via TimestampServer property.
- When creating long-term signatures that include the signing chain and validation material, tune up validation parameters via RevocationCheck, OfflineMode, and IgnoreChainValidationErrors properties.
In some circumstances you will also need to adjust the following lower-level settings:
- Set ClaimedSigningTime to include the local signature creation time (not timestamped by a TTP).
- Specify EPES signature parameters via PolicyHash, PolicyHashAlgorithm, PolicyID, and PolicyURI properties.
- Provide the hash algorithm via the HashAlgorithm property.
Signing certificates
CAdESSigner can use certificates residing on different media. Besides generic certificates stored in PFX or PEM files (A1), it can operate with non-exportable certificates residing on hardware media (A3) or in the cloud.
Non-exportable certificates can be accessed transparently via a Windows CSP or a PKCS#11 driver, if supplied by the certificate issuer. Proprietary interfaces can be plugged in with the external signing feature (see below).
You can use CertificateManager and CertificateStorage components to access the signing certificate. Assign the certificate to SigningCertificate property, and optionally provide the remainder of its chain via SigningChain property.
Note: If signing with a non-exportable key (such as residing on a hardware device or in the cloud), please make sure you keep the original CertificateStorage object open until the signing is completed. This is because the storage component provides a 'bridge' to the private key. If the storage is closed prematurely, this bridge is destroyed, and the private key can't be used.
You don't need to provide a signing certificate or chain when timestamping and upgrading signatures, since this type of operation does not involve the signing private key.
Signing a file
Now that you have set up all signature properties and attached the signing certificate, it is time to proceed to signing. You can provide the input document in one of the following forms: as a file (assign the path to InputFile property), as a stream (assign to InputStream property), or as a byte array (assign to InputBytes). Similarly, the output can be collected in one of the same forms, either by passing the destination path or stream via OutputFile and OutputStream respectively, or by reading the resulting document bytes from the OutputBytes property after the signing completes.
Having set up the input and output (unless using OutputBytes, which should be read later), call the component's Sign method, passing the desired signature level and type as parameters. This will initiate the signing process. Depending on the settings, the signing may be as straightforward as calculating the document hash and signing it with the private key (e.g. in CAdES-BES or B-B variant), or it may involve advanced chain validation routines (CAdES-XL or -A). During the latter the component may contact a number of external revocation information sources (CRL and OCSP servers) to establish the validity of the signing certificate.
If a TSA server was provided via the TimestampServer property, the component will contact it too to timestamp the new signature.
During the signing CAdESSigner may fire events to let your code know of certain conditions. It may fire TLSCertValidate if one of the HTTP endpoints involved in the operation (which may be a CRL, OCSP, or TSA service) works over TLS and needs its certificate to be validated.
Apart from signing, CAdESSigner can perform operations on signatures of other kinds. Use Upgrade method to upgrade an existing CAdES signature to a higher level (e.g. BES to XL). Use Timestamp to add a generic or validation timestamp to an existing signature. Use the Countersign method to add a countersignature to an existing signature. For any of these operations the input should constitute a valid CAdES signature.
External signing and DCAuth
CAdESSigner, like many other components offered by the product, supports two methods of signing with external keys. These methods are fully independent of each other: you can choose the one that suits your usage scenario best.
Synchronous method: ExternalSign
This is a simpler method that basically lets you infiltrate into the heart of the signing routine by taking care of the hash signing operation. The component does the rest of the job (hash calculation, preparation of signature objects, CRL/OCSP retrieval).
To initiate this method, call SignExternal instead of Sign. When the hash is ready, it will be passed back to your code with ExternalSign event. Your event handler needs to sign the hash with the private key and return the created signature back to the component - which will embed it into the document.
You don't need your signing certificate to contain an associated private key when using this method. The certificate itself (its public copy) may be needed though, as it is often included in the hash calculation.
This method is synchronous, meaning SignExternal provides you the results immediately upon its completion.
Asynchronous method: DCAuth
DCAuth is a SecureBlackbox-own know-how technology. This protocol was designed to allow sharing of private keys across environments, allowing the signer and the private key to reside on different systems. It works in the following way:
- The signing party - such as CAdESSigner - initiates the operation using SignAsyncBegin call. This produces two outcomes: a pre-signed document (a document with a blank signature placeholder), and a request state (an object containing a hash that needs to be signed). At this point the CAdESSigner instance can be released, and the process itself terminated (which may be useful when run as part of a web page).
- The request state is passed to the private key holder party. The private key holder passes the request state to a DCAuth object, which parses the request state, extracts the hash, and signs it. The output of DCAuth processing is another object, response state, which contains the signature. The private key holder then sends the response state back to the signing party.
- The signing party re-creates the controls, and passes the response state, together with the pre-signed version of the document, to the signer's SignAsyncEnd method. SignAsyncEnd extracts the signature from the response state and incorporates it into the pre-signed document.
This method is asynchronous in that sense that, from the signing party's viewpoint, it splits the signing operation into the pre-signing and completion stages which can be performed independently from each other and in different execution contexts. This makes this method particularly helpful for use in web pages and other scenarios where the signing key is not available in real time.
Fine-grained chain validation setup
Chain validation is a sophisticated, multi-faceted procedure that involves a lot of variables. Depending on the configuration of your operating environment, the specifics of the PKI framework being used, and the validation policy you need to follow, you may want to tune up your chain validation parameters so they fit them best. A summary of such parameters is given below.
- RevocationCheck lets you choose between and/or prioritize revocation origins. OCSP sources are often preferred to CRL because of their real-time capability and the smaller size of validation tokens they produce.
- OfflineMode is a master switch that stops the class from looking for any validation tokens online. If this property is switched on, the class will only use the KnownCertificates, TrustedCertificates, KnownCRLs, and KnownOCSPs collections to look for the missing validation material.
- IgnoreChainValidationErrors makes the class ignore any major validation issues it encounters (such us an untrusted chain or missing CRL). This option is handy for debugging and for creating signatures in the environments where the signing certificate is not trusted.
- KnownCertificates, KnownCRLs, and KnownOCSPs let you provide your own validation material. This may be useful when working in OfflineMode, where the signer has no access to the validation sources, or where the validation material has already been collected.
- TrustedCertificates lets you provide a list of trust anchors, either as a complement to the system's or as an alternative to it.
- BlockedCertificates lets you provide a list of blocked/distrusted certificates. Any CA certificate contained in it will be deemed untrusted/invalid.
The following parameters are not directly related to chain validation, but may have an implicit effect on it.
- Proxy, SocketSettings, and TLSSettings let you tune up the connectivity and TLS options in accordance with local preferences.
- TLSClientChain lets you provide the client certificate and its chain for TLS client authentication.
- Subscribe to TLSCertValidate to validate any TLS certificates of the services involved in chain validation.
The results of the chain validation procedure, upon its completion, are published in the following properties:
- ChainValidationResult contains the primary result of the chain validation routine: valid, valid but untrusted, invalid, or undefined.
- ChainValidationDetails provides the details of the factors that contributed to the chain validation result, such as an outdated certificate, a missing CRL, or a missing CA certificate.
- ValidationLog contains the detailed chain validation log. The log can often be very helpful in nailing down various validation issues.

int SetKnownCertCount(int iKnownCertCount); QByteArray GetKnownCertBytes(int iKnownCertIndex); qint64 GetKnownCertHandle(int iKnownCertIndex);
int SetKnownCertHandle(int iKnownCertIndex, qint64 lKnownCertHandle);
Remarks
Use this property to supply a list of additional certificates that might be needed for chain validation. An example of a scenario where you might want to do that is when intermediary CA certificates are absent from the standard system locations (or when there are no standard system locations), and therefore should be supplied to the class manually.
The purpose of the certificates to be added to this collection is roughly equivalent to that of the Intermediate Certification Authorities system store in Windows.
Do not add trust anchors or root certificates to this collection: add them to TrustedCertificates instead.
This property is not available at design time.

Advanced signatures come in many variants, which are often defined by parties that needs to process them or by local standards. SecureBlackbox profiles are sets of pre-defined configurations which correspond to particular signature variants. By specifying a profile, you are pre-configuring the component to make it produce the signature that matches the configuration corresponding to that profile.

int secureblackbox_cadessigner_setrevocationcheck(void* lpObj, int iRevocationCheck);
int GetRevocationCheck();
int SetRevocationCheck(int iRevocationCheck);
Default Value
1
Remarks
Revocation checking is necessary to ensure the integrity of the chain and obtain up-to-date certificate validity and trustworthiness information.
Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) and Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responses serve the same purpose of ensuring that the certificate had not been revoked by the Certificate Authority (CA) at the time of use. Depending on your circumstances and security policy requirements, you may want to use either one or both of the revocation information source types.
crcNone | 0 | No revocation checking. |
crcAuto | 1 | Automatic mode selection. Currently this maps to crcAnyOCSPOrCRL, but it may change in the future. |
crcAllCRL | 2 | All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed. |
crcAllOCSP | 3 | All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed. |
crcAllCRLAndOCSP | 4 | All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed. |
crcAnyCRL | 5 | All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. |
crcAnyOCSP | 6 | All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. |
crcAnyCRLOrOCSP | 7 | All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. CRL endpoints are checked first. |
crcAnyOCSPOrCRL | 8 | All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. OCSP endpoints are checked first. |
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.

QString GetTimestampServer();
int SetTimestampServer(QString qsTimestampServer);
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.

Data Type
TrustedCertificates Property (CAdESSigner Class)
A list of trusted certificates for chain validation.
Syntax
SecureBlackboxList<SecureBlackboxCertificate>* GetTrustedCertificates(); int SetTrustedCertificates(SecureBlackboxList<SecureBlackboxCertificate>* val);
int secureblackbox_cadessigner_gettrustedcertcount(void* lpObj);
int secureblackbox_cadessigner_settrustedcertcount(void* lpObj, int iTrustedCertCount);
int secureblackbox_cadessigner_gettrustedcertbytes(void* lpObj, int trustedcertindex, char** lpTrustedCertBytes, int* lenTrustedCertBytes);

int GetTrustedCertCount();
int SetTrustedCertCount(int iTrustedCertCount); QByteArray GetTrustedCertBytes(int iTrustedCertIndex); qint64 GetTrustedCertHandle(int iTrustedCertIndex);
int SetTrustedCertHandle(int iTrustedCertIndex, qint64 lTrustedCertHandle);
Remarks
Use this property to supply a list of trusted certificates that might be needed for chain validation. An example of a scenario where you might want to do that is when root CA certificates are absent from the standard system locations (or when there are no standard system locations), and therefore should be supplied to the component manually.
The purpose of this certificate collection is largely the same as that of the Windows Trusted Root Certification Authorities system store.
Use this property with extreme care as it directly affects chain verifiability; a wrong certificate added to the trusted list may result in bad chains being accepted, and forfeited signatures being recognized as genuine. Only add certificates that originate from the parties that you know and trust.
This property is not available at design time.
Data Type
UnsignedAttributes Property (CAdESSigner Class)
Custom unsigned attributes to be included in the electronic signature.
Syntax

This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Data Type
SecureBlackboxSignatureAttribute
ValidationMoment Property (CAdESSigner Class)
The time point at which signature validity is to be established.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) char* GetValidationMoment();

INT SetValidationMoment(LPCWSTR lpszValidationMoment);
char* secureblackbox_cadessigner_getvalidationmoment(void* lpObj);
int secureblackbox_cadessigner_setvalidationmoment(void* lpObj, const char* lpszValidationMoment);
QString GetValidationMoment();
int SetValidationMoment(QString qsValidationMoment);
Default Value
""
Remarks
Use this property to specify the moment in time at which signature validity should be established. The time is in UTC. Leave the setting empty to stick to the default moment (either the signature creation time or the current time).
The validity of the same signature may differ depending on the time point chosen due to temporal changes in chain validities, revocation statuses, and timestamp times.
Data Type
String
AddAttribute Method (CAdESSigner Class)
Adds an attribute to the signature.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int AddAttribute(const char* lpszOID, const char* lpValue, int lenValue, int bSignedAttribute); Unicode (Windows) INT AddAttribute(LPCWSTR lpszOID, LPCSTR lpValue, INT lenValue, BOOL bSignedAttribute);
int secureblackbox_cadessigner_addattribute(void* lpObj, const char* lpszOID, const char* lpValue, int lenValue, int bSignedAttribute);
int AddAttribute(const QString& qsOID, QByteArray qbaValue, bool bSignedAttribute);
Remarks
Use this method to add a signed or unsigned attribute to the collection of attributes included in the new signature.
Note that CAdESSigner creates certain mandatory and/or widely used attributes automatically in accordance with requirements for a specific signing profile. For example, attributes such as SigningCertificateV2 or SigningTime are always added. Policy attributes are added if specified via the PolicyID or PolicyURI properties of the signature object.
Use the OID parameter to provide the object identifier of the attribute, in string form. For example, the OID for the SigningCertificateV2 attribute is 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.2.47. The Value parameter should contain a well-formed, DER-encoded representation of the attribute value, in accordance with its specification.
Error Handling (C++)
This method returns an Integer value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

QString Config(const QString& qsConfigurationString);
Remarks
Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.
These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, 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.
Error Handling (C++)
This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution.

int secureblackbox_cadessigner_sign(void* lpObj);
int Sign();
Remarks
Call this method to produce a new signature over the provided data.
Error Handling (C++)

SignAsyncBegin Method (CAdESSigner Class)
Initiates the asynchronous signing operation.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) char* SignAsyncBegin(); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR SignAsyncBegin();
char* secureblackbox_cadessigner_signasyncbegin(void* lpObj);
QString 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 class), which processes it and produces a matching signature state. The async state produced by the server is then passed to the SignAsyncEnd method.
Error Handling (C++)
This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.
SignAsyncEnd Method (CAdESSigner Class)
Completes the asynchronous signing operation.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int SignAsyncEnd(const char* lpszAsyncReply); Unicode (Windows) INT SignAsyncEnd(LPCWSTR lpszAsyncReply);
int secureblackbox_cadessigner_signasyncend(void* lpObj, const char* lpszAsyncReply);
int SignAsyncEnd(const QString& qsAsyncReply);
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 class), which processes it and produces a matching signature state. The async state produced by the server is then passed to the SignAsyncEnd method.
Error Handling (C++)
This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
SignExternal Method (CAdESSigner Class)
Signs the document using an external signing facility.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int SignExternal(); Unicode (Windows) INT SignExternal();
int secureblackbox_cadessigner_signexternal(void* lpObj);
int SignExternal();
Remarks
Use this method to create a CAdES signature using an external signing facility for the cryptographic computations. SignRemote delegates 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 class fires ExternalSign event which allows to pass the hash value for signing.
Error Handling (C++)
This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
Timestamp Method (CAdESSigner Class)
Use this method to add timestamp.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int Timestamp(const char* lpszSigLabel, int iTimestampType); Unicode (Windows) INT Timestamp(LPCWSTR lpszSigLabel, INT iTimestampType);
int secureblackbox_cadessigner_timestamp(void* lpObj, const char* lpszSigLabel, int iTimestampType);
int Timestamp(const QString& qsSigLabel, int iTimestampType);
Remarks

If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

ExternalSign Event (CAdESSigner Class)
Handles remote or external signing initiated by the SignExternal method or other source.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireExternalSign(CAdESSignerExternalSignEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *OperationId;
const char *HashAlgorithm;
const char *Pars;
const char *Data;
char *SignedData; int reserved; } CAdESSignerExternalSignEventParams;

#define EID_CADESSIGNER_EXTERNALSIGN 6 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireExternalSign(LPSTR &lpszOperationId, LPSTR &lpszHashAlgorithm, LPSTR &lpszPars, LPSTR &lpszData, LPSTR &lpszSignedData);
class CAdESSignerExternalSignEventParams { public: const QString &OperationId(); const QString &HashAlgorithm(); const QString &Pars(); const QString &Data(); const QString &SignedData(); void SetSignedData(const QString &qsSignedData); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void ExternalSign(CAdESSignerExternalSignEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CAdESSigner and override this emitter function. virtual int FireExternalSign(CAdESSignerExternalSignEventParams *e) {...}
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 class via the SignedData parameter.
OperationId provides a comment about the operation and its origin. It depends on the exact class being used, and may be empty. HashAlgorithm specifies the hash algorithm being used for the operation, and Pars contains algorithm-dependent parameters.
The class 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();
};
Loaded Event (CAdESSigner Class)
This event is fired when the CAdES signature has been loaded into memory.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireLoaded(CAdESSignerLoadedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int Cancel; int reserved; } CAdESSignerLoadedEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireLoaded(CAdESSignerLoadedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
BOOL Cancel; INT reserved; } CAdESSignerLoadedEventParams;
#define EID_CADESSIGNER_LOADED 7 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireLoaded(BOOL &bCancel);
class CAdESSignerLoadedEventParams { public: bool Cancel(); void SetCancel(bool bCancel); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Loaded(CAdESSignerLoadedEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CAdESSigner and override this emitter function. virtual int FireLoaded(CAdESSignerLoadedEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
The handler for this event is a good place to check CAdES signature properties, which may be useful when preparing the signature.
Set Cancel to true to terminate CAdES signature processing on this stage.
Notification Event (CAdESSigner Class)
This event notifies the application about an underlying control flow event.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireNotification(CAdESSignerNotificationEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *EventID;
const char *EventParam; int reserved; } CAdESSignerNotificationEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireNotification(CAdESSignerNotificationEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR EventID;
LPCWSTR EventParam; INT reserved; } CAdESSignerNotificationEventParams;
#define EID_CADESSIGNER_NOTIFICATION 8 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireNotification(LPSTR &lpszEventID, LPSTR &lpszEventParam);
class CAdESSignerNotificationEventParams { public: const QString &EventID(); const QString &EventParam(); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Notification(CAdESSignerNotificationEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CAdESSigner and override this emitter function. virtual int FireNotification(CAdESSignerNotificationEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
The class fires this event to let the application know about some event, occurrence, or milestone in the class. 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 class, the exact action it is performing, or the document being processed, one or both may be omitted.
This class can fire this event with the following EventID values:
Loaded | Reports the completion of signature processing by the component. Use the event handler to access signature-related information. The EventParam value passed with this EventID is empty. |
ContentExtracted | Reports the completion of message content extraction by the component if ExtractContent property is enabled. Use the event handler to access message content. The EventParam value passed with this EventID is empty. |
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 class 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. |
SignatureFound Event (CAdESSigner Class)
Signifies the start of signature validation.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireSignatureFound(CAdESSignerSignatureFoundEventParams *e);
typedef struct {

#define EID_CADESSIGNER_SIGNATUREFOUND 9 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireSignatureFound(INT &iIndex, LPSTR &lpszEntityLabel, LPSTR &lpszIssuerRDN, LPSTR &lpSerialNumber, INT &lenSerialNumber, LPSTR &lpSubjectKeyID, INT &lenSubjectKeyID, BOOL &bCertFound, BOOL &bValidateSignature, BOOL &bValidateChain);
class CAdESSignerSignatureFoundEventParams { public: int Index(); const QString &EntityLabel(); const QString &IssuerRDN(); const QByteArray &SerialNumber(); const QByteArray &SubjectKeyID(); bool CertFound(); bool ValidateSignature(); void SetValidateSignature(bool bValidateSignature); bool ValidateChain(); void SetValidateChain(bool bValidateChain); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void SignatureFound(CAdESSignerSignatureFoundEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CAdESSigner and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSignatureFound(CAdESSignerSignatureFoundEventParams *e) {...}
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 class 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 SignatureValidationResult and ChainValidationResult properties respectively.
Use the ValidateSignature and ValidateChain parameters to tell the verifier which stages to include in the validation.
SignatureValidated Event (CAdESSigner Class)
Marks the completion of the signature validation routine.

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void SignatureValidated(CAdESSignerSignatureValidatedEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CAdESSigner and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSignatureValidated(CAdESSignerSignatureValidatedEventParams *e) {...}
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.
svtValid | 0 | The signature is valid |
svtUnknown | 1 | Signature validity is unknown |
svtCorrupted | 2 | The signature is corrupted |
svtSignerNotFound | 3 | Failed to acquire the signing certificate. The signature cannot be validated. |
svtFailure | 4 | General failure |
svtReferenceCorrupted | 5 | Reference corrupted (XML-based signatures only) |

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void TimestampFound(CAdESSignerTimestampFoundEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CAdESSigner and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTimestampFound(CAdESSignerTimestampFoundEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
This event fires for every timestamp identified during signature processing, and reports the details about the signer's certificate via its IssuerRDN, SerialNumber, and SubjectKeyID parameters.
The CertFound parameter is set to True if the class 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.
Just like with signature validation, timestamp validation consists of two independent stages: cryptographic signature validation and chain validation. Separate validation results are reported for each, with the ValidationResult and ChainValidationResult properties respectively.
Use the ValidateSignature and ValidateChain parameters to tell the verifier which stages to include in the validation.
TimestampRequest Event (CAdESSigner Class)
Fires when the class is ready to request a timestamp from an external TSA.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireTimestampRequest(CAdESSignerTimestampRequestEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *TSA;
const char *TimestampRequest;
char *TimestampResponse;
int SuppressDefault; int reserved; } CAdESSignerTimestampRequestEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTimestampRequest(CAdESSignerTimestampRequestEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR TSA;

#define EID_CADESSIGNER_TIMESTAMPREQUEST 12 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireTimestampRequest(LPSTR &lpszTSA, LPSTR &lpszTimestampRequest, LPSTR &lpszTimestampResponse, BOOL &bSuppressDefault);
class CAdESSignerTimestampRequestEventParams { public: const QString &TSA(); const QString &TimestampRequest(); const QString &TimestampResponse(); void SetTimestampResponse(const QString &qsTimestampResponse); bool SuppressDefault(); void SetSuppressDefault(bool bSuppressDefault); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void TimestampRequest(CAdESSignerTimestampRequestEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CAdESSigner and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTimestampRequest(CAdESSignerTimestampRequestEventParams *e) {...}
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.

// Or, subclass CAdESSigner and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTLSCertNeeded(CAdESSignerTLSCertNeededEventParams *e) {...}
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 (CAdESSigner Class)
This event is fired upon receipt of the TLS server's certificate, allowing the user to control its acceptance.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireTLSCertValidate(CAdESSignerTLSCertValidateEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *ServerHost;
const char *ServerIP;
int Accept; int reserved; } CAdESSignerTLSCertValidateEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTLSCertValidate(CAdESSignerTLSCertValidateEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR ServerHost;
LPCWSTR ServerIP;
BOOL Accept; INT reserved; } CAdESSignerTLSCertValidateEventParams;
#define EID_CADESSIGNER_TLSCERTVALIDATE 15 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireTLSCertValidate(LPSTR &lpszServerHost, LPSTR &lpszServerIP, BOOL &bAccept);
class CAdESSignerTLSCertValidateEventParams { public: const QString &ServerHost(); const QString &ServerIP(); bool Accept(); void SetAccept(bool bAccept); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void TLSCertValidate(CAdESSignerTLSCertValidateEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CAdESSigner and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTLSCertValidate(CAdESSignerTLSCertValidateEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
This event is fired during a TLS handshake. Use the TLSServerChain property to access the certificate chain. In general, classes 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 class, and can be adjusted if needed.
TLSEstablished Event (CAdESSigner Class)
Fires when a TLS handshake with Host successfully completes.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireTLSEstablished(CAdESSignerTLSEstablishedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *Host;
const char *Version;
const char *Ciphersuite;
const char *ConnectionId; int lenConnectionId;
int Abort; int reserved; } CAdESSignerTLSEstablishedEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTLSEstablished(CAdESSignerTLSEstablishedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR Host;
LPCWSTR Version;
LPCWSTR Ciphersuite;
LPCSTR ConnectionId; INT lenConnectionId;
BOOL Abort; INT reserved; } CAdESSignerTLSEstablishedEventParams;
#define EID_CADESSIGNER_TLSESTABLISHED 16 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireTLSEstablished(LPSTR &lpszHost, LPSTR &lpszVersion, LPSTR &lpszCiphersuite, LPSTR &lpConnectionId, INT &lenConnectionId, BOOL &bAbort);
class CAdESSignerTLSEstablishedEventParams { public: const QString &Host(); const QString &Version(); const QString &Ciphersuite(); const QByteArray &ConnectionId(); bool Abort(); void SetAbort(bool bAbort); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void TLSEstablished(CAdESSignerTLSEstablishedEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CAdESSigner and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTLSEstablished(CAdESSignerTLSEstablishedEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
The class 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 (CAdESSigner Class)
Fires when a new TLS handshake is initiated, before the handshake commences.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireTLSHandshake(CAdESSignerTLSHandshakeEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *Host;
int Abort; int reserved; } CAdESSignerTLSHandshakeEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTLSHandshake(CAdESSignerTLSHandshakeEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR Host;
BOOL Abort; INT reserved; } CAdESSignerTLSHandshakeEventParams;
#define EID_CADESSIGNER_TLSHANDSHAKE 17 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireTLSHandshake(LPSTR &lpszHost, BOOL &bAbort);
class CAdESSignerTLSHandshakeEventParams { public: const QString &Host(); bool Abort(); void SetAbort(bool bAbort); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void TLSHandshake(CAdESSignerTLSHandshakeEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CAdESSigner and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTLSHandshake(CAdESSignerTLSHandshakeEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
The class 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 (CAdESSigner Class)
Reports the graceful closure of a TLS connection.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireTLSShutdown(CAdESSignerTLSShutdownEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *Host; int reserved; } CAdESSignerTLSShutdownEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTLSShutdown(CAdESSignerTLSShutdownEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR Host; INT reserved; } CAdESSignerTLSShutdownEventParams;
#define EID_CADESSIGNER_TLSSHUTDOWN 18 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireTLSShutdown(LPSTR &lpszHost);
class CAdESSignerTLSShutdownEventParams { public: const QString &Host(); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void TLSShutdown(CAdESSignerTLSShutdownEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CAdESSigner and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTLSShutdown(CAdESSignerTLSShutdownEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
This event notifies the application about the closure of an earlier established TLS connection. Note that only graceful connection closures are reported.

Returns a bit mask of the following options:
cvrBadData | 0x0001 | One or more certificates in the validation path are malformed |
cvrRevoked | 0x0002 | One or more certificates are revoked |
cvrNotYetValid | 0x0004 | One or more certificates are not yet valid |
cvrExpired | 0x0008 | One or more certificates are expired |
cvrInvalidSignature | 0x0010 | A certificate contains a non-valid digital signature |

cvrUserEnforced | 0x8000 | The chain was considered invalid following intervention from a user code |
ChainValidationResult
int (read-only)
Default Value: 0
The outcome of a certificate chain validation routine.
Available options:
cvtValid | 0 | The chain is valid |
cvtValidButUntrusted | 1 | The chain is valid, but the root certificate is not trusted |
cvtInvalid | 2 | The chain is not valid (some of certificates are revoked, expired, or contain an invalid signature) |
cvtCantBeEstablished | 3 | The validity of the chain cannot be established because of missing or unavailable validation information (certificates, CRLs, or OCSP responses) |
Use the ValidationLog property to access the detailed validation log.
ClaimedSigningTime
char*
Default Value: ""
The signing time from the signer's computer.
Use this property to provide the signature production time. The claimed time is not supported by a trusted source; it may be inaccurate, forfeited, or wrong, and as such is usually taken for informational purposes only by verifiers. Use timestamp servers to embed verifiable trusted timestamps. The time is in UTC.
CompatibilityErrors
int (read-only)
Default Value: 0
Returns compatibility errors encountered during validation.
Use this property to get specific compatibility errors encountered during validation. Unlike chain validation details, compatibility errors indicate violations by the signature of the assumed signature level/profile. For example, BES signatures are required to contain the signing time attribute. A prospective BES signature without such attribute will invoke a compatibility error.
Supported values:
cerrUnknown | 0x00001 | Unknown validation error |
cerrNoMessageDigest | 0x00002 | No message digest attribute included in the signature |
cerrNoContentType | 0x00004 | No mandatory content-type attribute is included in the signature |
cerrNoSigningCertificate | 0x00008 | No mandatory signing-certificate (-v2) attribute is included in the signature |
cerrNoSignaturePolicy | 0x00010 | No signature policy information is included in the signature |

cerrUnexpectedValidationElements | 0x01000 | Unexpected validation elements were found in the signature |
cerrMissingValidationElements | 0x02000 | Some mandatory validation elements are missing from the signature |
cerrInvalidATSHashIndex | 0x04000 | ATS Hash Index attribute is invalid |
cerrNoSigningTime | 0x08000 | No mandatory signing-time attribute was found in the signature |
cerrMisplacedSigPolicyStore | 0x10000 | Signature policy store attribute is misplaced |
ContainsLongTermInfo
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE
Returns true if the signature was found to contain long-term validation details (certificates, CRLs, and OCSP response).
ContentType
char*
Default Value: ""
The signature content type.
Use this property to check the content type attribute of the message record in it by the signer.
Countersigned
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE
Indicates if the signature is countersigned.
Use this property to find out whether the signed message contains any countersignatures over the main signature(s).
You can track countersignatures during the validating by subscribing to SignatureValidated event.
EntityLabel
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""
Use this property to get the signature entity label.
This property returns a string label that uniquely identifies the signature. The label can be used to establish the signature target in the SignatureFound event or to select the signing chain via the SelectInfo method.
Handle
int64
Default Value: 0
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.
pdfSigner.setSigningCertHandle(certMgr.getCertHandle());
HashAlgorithm
char*
Default Value: ""
Set or returns the hash algorithm used to generate the signature.
Check this property after verifying the signature to get the hash algorithm which was used to calculate it. When creating a signed file, use this property to specify the hash algorithm to use.

SB_CERT_ALGORITHM_EDDSA_SIGNATURE | id-EdDSA-sig |
Scope
int (read-only)
Default Value: 0
Returns the type of the entity that this signature corresponds to.
A CAdES signature may cover several kinds of entities: the signed data itself (a top-level signature - something you create when you sign documents), a timestamp, or a countersignature.
cssUnknown | 0 | The scope of signature is unknown |
cssData | 1 | The signature is a top-level signature over the data |
cssSignature | 2 | The signature is a countersignature, and is made over another signature |
cssTimestamp | 3 | The signature is made over a timestamp |
SerialNumber
char* (read-only)
Default Value:
The serial number of the signing certificate.
SignatureBytes
char* (read-only)
Default Value:
Returns the binary representation of the CAdES signature.
SignatureValidationResult
int (read-only)
Default Value: 0
The outcome of the cryptographic signature validation.
The following signature validity values are supported:
svtValid | 0 | The signature is valid |
svtUnknown | 1 | Signature validity is unknown |
svtCorrupted | 2 | The signature is corrupted |
svtSignerNotFound | 3 | Failed to acquire the signing certificate. The signature cannot be validated. |
svtFailure | 4 | General failure |
svtReferenceCorrupted | 5 | Reference corrupted (XML-based signatures only) |
SubjectKeyID
char* (read-only)
Default Value:
Contains the subject key identifier of the signing certificate.
Subject Key Identifier is a (non-critical) X.509 certificate extension which allows the identification of certificates containing a particular public key. In SecureBlackbox, the unique identifier is represented by a SHA-1 hash of the bit string of the subject public key.
SubjectRDN
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""
Contains the RDN of the owner of the signing certificate.
RDN is a number of OID=Value pairs declared in the certificate and providing the owner's details.
Timestamped
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE
Use this property to establish whether the signature contains an embedded timestamp.
ValidatedSigningTime
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""
Contains the certified signing time.
Use this property to obtain the signing time as certified by a timestamp from a trusted timestamping authority. This property is only non-empty if there was a valid timestamp included in the signature.
ClaimedSigningTime returns a non-trusted signing time from the signer's computer.
Both times are in UTC.
ValidationLog
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""
Contains the signing certificate's chain validation log. This information may be very useful in investigating chain validation failures.
Constructors
CAdESSignature()
Creates a new empty CAdES signature object.
Certificate Type
Encapsulates an individual X.509 certificate.
Syntax
SecureBlackboxCertificate (declared in secureblackbox.h)
Remarks
This type keeps and provides access to X.509 certificate details.
Fields
Bytes
char* (read-only)
Default Value:
Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.
CA
int
Default Value: FALSE
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 field when generating a new certificate to have its Basic Constraints extension generated automatically.
CAKeyID
char* (read-only)
Default Value:
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 SubjectKeyID setting, and for lower-level certificates, from the parent certificate's subject key ID extension.
CertType
int (read-only)
Default Value: 0
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 class to load or create new certificate and certificate requests objects.
CRLDistributionPoints
char*
Default Value: ""
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 field 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.
Curve
char*
Default Value: ""
Specifies the elliptic curve associated with the certificate's public key. This setting only applies to certificates containing EC keys.

Fingerprint
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""
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.
FriendlyName
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""
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.
Handle
int64
Default Value: 0
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.
pdfSigner.setSigningCertHandle(certMgr.getCertHandle());
HashAlgorithm
char*
Default Value: ""
Provides means to set the hash algorithm to be used in the subsequent operation on the certificate (such as generation or key signing). It is not a property of a certificate; use SigAlgorithm to find out the hash algorithm that is part of the certificate signature.

Issuer
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""
The common name of the certificate issuer (CA), typically a company name. This is part of a larger set of credentials available via IssuerRDN.
IssuerRDN
char*
Default Value: ""
A list of Property=Value pairs that uniquely identify the certificate issuer.
Example: /C=US/O=Nationwide CA/CN=Web Certification Authority
KeyAlgorithm
char*
Default Value: "0"
Specifies the public key algorithm of this certificate.

Use the KeyBits, Curve, and PublicKeyBytes fields to get more details about the key the certificate contains.
KeyBits
int (read-only)
Default Value: 0
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 PublicKeyBytes or PrivateKeyBytes field would typically contain auxiliary values, and therefore be longer.
KeyFingerprint
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""
Returns a SHA1 fingerprint of the public key contained in the certificate.
Note that the key fingerprint is different from the certificate fingerprint accessible via the Fingerprint field. The key fingeprint uniquely identifies the public key, and so can be the same for multiple certificates containing the same key.
KeyUsage
int
Default Value: 0
Indicates the purposes of the key contained in the certificate, in the form of an OR'ed flag set.
This value is a bit mask of the following values:
ckuUnknown | 0x00000 | Unknown key usage |
ckuDigitalSignature | 0x00001 | Digital signature |
ckuNonRepudiation | 0x00002 | Non-repudiation |
ckuKeyEncipherment | 0x00004 | Key encipherment |
ckuDataEncipherment | 0x00008 | Data encipherment |
ckuKeyAgreement | 0x00010 | Key agreement |
ckuKeyCertSign | 0x00020 | Certificate signing |
ckuCRLSign | 0x00040 | Revocation signing |
ckuEncipherOnly | 0x00080 | Encipher only |
ckuDecipherOnly | 0x00100 | Decipher only |
ckuServerAuthentication | 0x00200 | Server authentication |
ckuClientAuthentication | 0x00400 | Client authentication |
ckuCodeSigning | 0x00800 | Code signing |
ckuEmailProtection | 0x01000 | Email protection |
ckuTimeStamping | 0x02000 | Timestamping |
ckuOCSPSigning | 0x04000 | OCSP signing |
ckuSmartCardLogon | 0x08000 | Smartcard logon |
ckuKeyPurposeClientAuth | 0x10000 | Kerberos - client authentication |
ckuKeyPurposeKDC | 0x20000 | Kerberos - KDC |
Set this field before generating the certificate to propagate the key usage flags to the new certificate.
KeyValid
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE
Returns True if the certificate's key is cryptographically valid, and False otherwise.
OCSPLocations
char*
Default Value: ""
Locations of OCSP services that can be used to check this certificate's validity in real time, as recorded by the CA.
Set this field before calling the certificate manager's Generate method to propagate it to the new certificate.
The OCSP locations 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.
OCSPNoCheck
int
Default Value: FALSE
Accessor to the value of the certificate's ocsp-no-check extension.
Origin
int (read-only)
Default Value: 0
Returns the location that the certificate was taken or loaded from.
PolicyIDs
char*
Default Value: ""
Contains identifiers (OIDs) of the applicable certificate policies.
The Certificate Policies extension identifies a sequence of policies under which the certificate has been issued, and which regulate its usage.
Set this field when generating a certificate to propagate the policies information to the new certificate.
The policies are provided as a list of CRLF-separated entries. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the policy element separator.
PrivateKeyBytes
char* (read-only)
Default Value:
Returns the certificate's private key in DER-encoded format. It is normal for this field to be empty if the private key is non-exportable, which, for example, is typical for certificates originating from hardware security devices.
PrivateKeyExists
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE
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.
This field is independent from PrivateKeyBytes, and can be set to True even if the former is empty. This would imply that the private key is non-exportable, but still can be used for cryptographic operations.
PrivateKeyExtractable
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE
Indicates whether the private key is extractable (exportable).
PublicKeyBytes
char* (read-only)
Default Value:
Contains the certificate's public key in DER format.
This typically would contain an ASN.1-encoded public key value. The exact format depends on the type of the public key contained in the certificate.
Qualified
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE
Indicates whether the certificate is qualified.
This property is set to True if the certificate is confirmed by a Trusted List to be qualified.
QualifiedStatements
int
Default Value: 0
Returns a simplified qualified status of the certificate.
Qualifiers
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""
A list of qualifiers.
Contains a comma-separated list of qualifier aliases for the certificate, for example QCP-n-qscd,QCWithSSCD.
SelfSigned
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE
Indicates whether the certificate is self-signed (root) or signed by an external CA.
SerialNumber
char*
Default Value:
Returns the certificate's serial number.
The serial number is a binary string that uniquely identifies a certificate among others issued by the same CA. According to the X.509 standard, the (issuer, serial number) pair should be globally unique to facilitate chain building.
SigAlgorithm
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""
Indicates the algorithm that was used by the CA to sign this certificate.
A signature algorithm typically combines hash and public key algorithms together, such as sha256WithRSAEncryption or ecdsa-with-SHA256.
Source
int (read-only)
Default Value: 0
Returns the source (location or disposition) of a cryptographic primitive entity, such as a certificate, CRL, or OCSP response.
Subject
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""
The common name of the certificate holder, typically an individual's name, a URL, an e-mail address, or a company name. This is part of a larger set of credentials available via SubjectRDN.
SubjectAlternativeName
char*
Default Value: ""
Returns or sets the value of the Subject Alternative Name extension of the certificate.
Subject alternative names are used to provide additional names that are impractical to store in the main SubjectRDN field. For example, it is often used to store all the domain names that a TLS certificate is authorized to protect.
The alternative names are provided as a list of CRLF-separated entries. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the element separator.
SubjectKeyID
char*
Default Value:
Contains a unique identifier of the certificate's cryptographic key.
Subject Key Identifier is a certificate extension which allows a specific public key to be associated with a certificate holder. Typically, subject key identifiers of CA certificates are recorded as respective CA key identifiers in the subordinate certificates that they issue, which facilitates chain building.
The SubjectKeyID and CAKeyID fields of self-signed certificates typically contain identical values, as in that specific case, the issuer and the subject are the same entity.
SubjectRDN
char*
Default Value: ""
A list of Property=Value pairs that uniquely identify the certificate holder (subject).
Depending on the purpose of the certificate and the policies of the CA that issued it, the values included in the subject record may differ drastically and contain business or personal names, web URLs, email addresses, and other data.
Example: /C=US/O=Oranges and Apples, Inc./OU=Accounts Receivable/1.2.3.4.5=Value with unknown OID/CN=Margaret Watkins.
Valid
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE
Indicates whether or not the signature over the certificate or the request is valid and matches the public key contained in the CA certificate/request.
ValidFrom
char*
Default Value: ""
The time point at which the certificate becomes valid, in UTC.
ValidTo
char*
Default Value: ""
The time point at which the certificate expires, in UTC.
Constructors
Certificate()
Creates a new object with default field values.
CRL Type
Represents a Certificate Revocation List.
Syntax
SecureBlackboxCRL (declared in secureblackbox.h)
Remarks
CRLs store information about revoked certificates, i.e., certificates that have been identified as invalid by their issuing certificate authority (CA) for any number of reasons.
Each CRL object lists certificates from a single CA and identifies them by their serial numbers. A CA may or may not publish a CRL, may publish several CRLs, or may publish the same CRL in multiple locations.
Unlike OCSP responses, CRLs only list certificates that have been revoked. They do not list certificates that are still valid.
Fields
Bytes
char* (read-only)
Default Value:
Returns the raw CRL data in DER format.
CAKeyID
char*
Default Value:
A unique identifier (fingerprint) of the CA certificate's private key, if present in the CRL.
EntryCount
int (read-only)
Default Value: 0
Returns the number of certificate status entries in the CRL.
Handle
int64
Default Value: 0
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.
pdfSigner.setSigningCertHandle(certMgr.getCertHandle());
Issuer
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""
The common name of the CRL issuer (CA), typically a company name.
IssuerRDN
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""
A collection of information, in the form of [OID, Value] pairs, uniquely identifying the CRL issuer.
Location
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""
The URL that the CRL was downloaded from.
NextUpdate
char*
Default Value: ""
The planned time and date of the next version of this CRL to be published.
SigAlgorithm
char*
Default Value: "0"
The public key algorithm that was used by the CA to sign this CRL.
Source
int (read-only)
Default Value: 0
Returns the source (location or disposition) of a cryptographic primitive entity, such as a certificate, CRL, or OCSP response.
TBS
char* (read-only)
Default Value:
The to-be-signed part of the CRL (the CRL without the signature part).
ThisUpdate
char*
Default Value: ""
The date and time at which this version of the CRL was published.
Constructors
CRL()
Creates an empty CRL object.
ExternalCrypto Type
Specifies the parameters of external cryptographic calls.
Syntax
SecureBlackboxExternalCrypto (declared in secureblackbox.h)
Remarks
External cryptocalls are used in a Distributed Cryptography (DC) subsystem, which allows the delegation of security operations to the remote agent. For instance, it can be used to compute the signature value on the server, while retaining the client's private key locally.
Fields
AsyncDocumentID
char*
Default Value: ""
Specifies an optional document ID for SignAsyncBegin() and SignAsyncEnd() calls.
Use this property when working with multi-signature DCAuth requests and responses to uniquely identify documents signed within a larger batch. On the completion stage, this value helps the signing component identify the correct signature in the returned batch of responses.
If using batched requests, make sure to set this property to the same value on both the pre-signing (SignAsyncBegin) and completion (SignAsyncEnd) stages.
CustomParams
char*
Default Value: ""
Custom parameters to be passed to the signing service (uninterpreted).
Data
char*
Default Value: ""
Additional data to be included in the async state and mirrored back by the requestor.
ExternalHashCalculation
int
Default Value: FALSE
Specifies whether the message hash is to be calculated at the external endpoint. Please note that this mode is not supported by the DCAuth class.
If set to true, the class will pass a few kilobytes of to-be-signed data from the document to the OnExternalSign event. This only applies when SignExternal() is called.
HashAlgorithm
char*
Default Value: "SHA256"
Specifies the request's signature hash algorithm.

KeyID
char*
Default Value: ""
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 KeySecret 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";
KeySecret
char*
Default Value: ""
The pre-shared key used for DC request authentication. This key must be set and match the key used by the DCAuth counterpart for the scheme to work.
Read more about configuring authentication in the KeyID topic.
Method
int
Default Value: 0
Specifies the asynchronous signing method. This is typically defined by the DC server capabilities and setup.
Available options:
asmdPKCS1 | 0 |
asmdPKCS7 | 1 |
Mode
int
Default Value: 0
Specifies the external cryptography mode.
Available options:
ecmDefault | The default value (0) |
ecmDisabled | Do not use DC or external signing (1) |
ecmGeneric | Generic external signing with the OnExternalSign event (2) |
ecmDCAuth | DCAuth signing (3) |
ecmDCAuthJSON | DCAuth signing in JSON format (4) |
PublicKeyAlgorithm
char*
Default Value: ""
Provide the public key algorithm here if the certificate is not available on the pre-signing stage.

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.

SecureBlackboxList Type
Syntax
SecureBlackboxList<T> (declared in secureblackbox.h)
Remarks
SecureBlackboxList is a generic class that is used to hold a collection of objects of type T, where T is one of the custom types supported by the CAdESSigner class.
Methods | |
GetCount |
This method returns the current size of the collection.
int GetCount() {}
|
SetCount |
This method sets the size of the collection. This method returns 0 if setting the size was successful; or -1 if the collection is ReadOnly. When adding additional objects to a collection call this method to specify the new size. Increasing the size of the collection preserves existing objects in the collection.
int SetCount(int count) {}
|
Get |
This method gets the item at the specified position. The index parameter specifies the index of the item in the collection. This method returns NULL if an invalid index is specified.
T* Get(int index) {}
|
Set |
This method sets the item at the specified position. The index parameter specifies the index of the item in the collection that is being set. This method returns -1 if an invalid index is specified. Note: Objects created using the new operator must be freed using the delete operator; they will not be automatically freed by the class.
T* Set(int index, T* value) {}
|
Config Settings (CAdESSigner Class)
The class 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 class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.CAdESSigner Config Settings
If IgnoreSystemTrust is True, certificates residing in the trusted root store are treated as if they are known, rather than trusted. Only certificates provided via other means (such as the TrustedCertificates property) are considered trusted.
Sample value: '{"addressCountry": "UK", "addressLocality": "London", "postalCode": "N1 7GU", "streetAddress": "20-22 Wenlock Road"}'
This setting is used to provide parameters for some cryptographic schemes. Use the Name1=Value1;Name2=Value2;... syntax to encode the parameters. For example: Scheme=PSS;SaltSize=32;TrailerField=1.
- CA, revocation source, TLS key usage requirements are not mandated
- Violation of OCSP issuer requirements are ignored
- The AuthorityKeyID extension in CRL- and certificate-issuing CAs are ignored (helps with incorrectly renewed certificates)
- Basic constraints and name constraints of CA certificates are ignored
- Some weaker algorithms are tolerated
In case of a timestamping failure, provide new TSA and HTTP settings inside the Notification event handler ('BeforeTimestamp' and 'TimestampError' event IDs).
Note: Unlike other classs, PDFSigner class uses the same hash algorithm for the main signature and any associated timestamps during signing. Use this property to specify a different hash algorithm for the timestamp.
The following default TSLs are used: EU (European Union) LOTL (list of trusted lists).
The following default TSLs are used: EU (European Union) LOTL (list of trusted lists).

The property accepts comma-separated values where the first descriptor name is used when the OID is mapped, and subsequent values act as aliases for parsing.
Syntax:
Config("XMLRDNDescriptorName[OID]=PrimaryName,Alias1,Alias2");
Where:
OID: The Object Identifier from the certificate's IssuerRDN or SubjectRDN that you want to map.
PrimaryName: The main descriptor name used in the XML signature when the OID is encountered.
Alias1, Alias2, ...: Optional alternative names recognized during parsing.
Usage Examples:
Map OID 2.5.4.5 to SERIALNUMBER:
Config("XMLRDNDescriptorName[2.5.4.5]=SERIALNUMBER");
Map OID 1.2.840.113549.1.9.1 to E, with aliases EMAIL and EMAILADDRESS:
Config("XMLRDNDescriptorName[1.2.840.113549.1.9.1]=E,EMAIL,EMAILADDRESS");
