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 secureblackbox_cadessigner_setignorechainvalidationerrors(void* lpObj, int bIgnoreChainValidationErrors);
bool GetIgnoreChainValidationErrors();
int SetIgnoreChainValidationErrors(bool bIgnoreChainValidationErrors);

Default Value

FALSE

Remarks

If this property is set to True, any errors emerging during certificate chain validation will be ignored. This setting may be handy if the purpose of validation is the creation of an LTV signature, and the validation is performed in an environment that doesn't trust the signer's certificate chain.

""

Remarks

Use this property to provide the data to work on. In case of the first-time signing, point this property to your data file. If countersigning, upgrading, or timestamping an existing signature, provide your existing signature file.

If updating a detached signature, you might need to provide the original data via DataFile property.

The data provided via this property can alternatively be provided from memory via InputStream property.

Data Type

String

KnownCertificates Property (CAdESSigner Class)

Additional certificates for chain validation.

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.

Data Type

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.

crcNone0No revocation checking.
crcAuto1Automatic mode selection. Currently this maps to crcAnyOCSPOrCRL, but it may change in the future.
crcAllCRL2All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed.
crcAllOCSP3All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed.
crcAllCRLAndOCSP4All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed.
crcAnyCRL5All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed.
crcAnyOCSP6All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed.
crcAnyCRLOrOCSP7All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. CRL endpoints are checked first.
crcAnyOCSPOrCRL8All 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.

TimestampServer Property (CAdESSigner Class)

The address of the timestamping server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetTimestampServer();
int SetTimestampServer(const char* lpszTimestampServer); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetTimestampServer();
INT SetTimestampServer(LPCWSTR lpszTimestampServer);
char* secureblackbox_cadessigner_gettimestampserver(void* lpObj);
int secureblackbox_cadessigner_settimestampserver(void* lpObj, const char* lpszTimestampServer);
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&amp;includecerts=true&amp;reqpolicy=1.2.3.4.5&amp;halg=SHA256&amp;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.

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);
int64 secureblackbox_cadessigner_gettrustedcerthandle(void* lpObj, int trustedcertindex);
int secureblackbox_cadessigner_settrustedcerthandle(void* lpObj, int trustedcertindex, int64 lTrustedCertHandle);
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

SecureBlackboxCertificate

UnsignedAttributes Property (CAdESSigner Class)

Custom unsigned attributes to be included in the electronic signature.

int SetUnsignedAttributeCount(int iUnsignedAttributeCount); QString GetUnsignedAttributeOID(int iUnsignedAttributeIndex);
int SetUnsignedAttributeOID(int iUnsignedAttributeIndex, QString qsUnsignedAttributeOID); QByteArray GetUnsignedAttributeValue(int iUnsignedAttributeIndex);
int SetUnsignedAttributeValue(int iUnsignedAttributeIndex, QByteArray qbaUnsignedAttributeValue);

Remarks

Signature attributes are used to store auxiliary information in the signature. Values included as unsigned attributes are not covered by the signature and can be changed or removed without affecting the signature.

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(const char* lpszValidationMoment); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR 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.

char* secureblackbox_cadessigner_config(void* lpObj, const char* lpszConfigurationString);
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.

char* secureblackbox_cadessigner_doaction(void* lpObj, const char* lpszActionID, const char* lpszActionParams);
QString DoAction(const QString& qsActionID, const QString& qsActionParams);

Remarks

DoAction is a generic method available in every class. It is used to perform an additional action introduced after the product major release. The list of actions is not fixed, and may be flexibly extended over time.

The unique identifier (case insensitive) of the action is provided in the ActionID parameter.

ActionParams contains the value of a single parameter, or a list of multiple parameters for the action in the form of PARAM1=VALUE1;PARAM2=VALUE2;....

Common ActionIDs:

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

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireError(CAdESSignerErrorEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int ErrorCode;
const char *Description; int reserved; } CAdESSignerErrorEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireError(CAdESSignerErrorEventParams *e);

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Error(CAdESSignerErrorEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass CAdESSigner and override this emitter function. virtual int FireError(CAdESSignerErrorEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

The event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing.

ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Messages section.

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;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireExternalSign(CAdESSignerExternalSignEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR OperationId;
LPCWSTR HashAlgorithm;
LPCWSTR Pars;
LPCWSTR Data;
LPWSTR 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:

LoadedReports 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.
ContentExtractedReports 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.
SignaturesLoadedNotifies the application that the component has finished loading signatures.
BeforeTimestampThis event is fired before a timestamp is requested from the timestamping authority. Use the event handler to modify TSA and HTTP settings.
TimestampErrorThis event is only fired if the class failed to obtain a timestamp from the timestamping authority. The EventParam parameter contains extended error info.
TimestampRequestA 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);

  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.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)

// 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.

svtValid0The signature is valid

svtUnknown1Signature validity is unknown

svtCorrupted2The signature is corrupted

svtSignerNotFound3Failed to acquire the signing certificate. The signature cannot be validated.

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// 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;
LPCWSTR TimestampRequest;
LPWSTR TimestampResponse;
BOOL SuppressDefault; INT reserved; } CAdESSignerTimestampRequestEventParams;
#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.

TLSCertNeeded Event (CAdESSigner Class)

Fires when a remote TLS party requests a client certificate.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireTLSCertNeeded(CAdESSignerTLSCertNeededEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *Host;
const char *CANames; int reserved; } CAdESSignerTLSCertNeededEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTLSCertNeeded(CAdESSignerTLSCertNeededEventParams *e);
typedef struct {

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void TLSCertNeeded(CAdESSignerTLSCertNeededEventParams *e);
// 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 {

// 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;

// 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.

CAdESSignature Type

Represents an individual signature in a CAdES container.

Syntax

SecureBlackboxCAdESSignature (declared in secureblackbox.h)

Remarks

This type contains information about a signature found in CAdES container. It holds various information about the signature, including its coverage and validation results.

The following fields are available:

Fields

ChainValidationDetails
int (read-only)

Default Value: 0

The details of a certificate chain validation outcome. They may often suggest the reasons that contributed to the overall validation result.

Returns a bit mask of the following options:

cvrBadData0x0001One or more certificates in the validation path are malformed

cvrRevoked0x0002One or more certificates are revoked

cvrNotYetValid0x0004One or more certificates are not yet valid

cvrExpired0x0008One or more certificates are expired

cvrInvalidSignature0x0010A certificate contains a non-valid digital signature

cvrUnknownCA0x0020A CA certificate for one or more certificates has not been found (chain incomplete)

cvrCAUnauthorized0x0040One of the CA certificates are not authorized to act as CA

cvrCRLNotVerified0x0080One or more CRLs could not be verified

cvrOCSPNotVerified0x0100One or more OCSP responses could not be verified

cvrIdentityMismatch0x0200The identity protected by the certificate (a TLS endpoint or an e-mail addressee) does not match what is recorded in the certificate

cvrNoKeyUsage0x0400A mandatory key usage is not enabled in one of the chain certificates

cvrBlocked0x0800One or more certificates are blocked

cvrFailure0x1000General validation failure

cvrChainLoop0x2000Chain loop: one of the CA certificates recursively signs itself

cvrWeakAlgorithm0x4000A weak algorithm is used in one of certificates or revocation elements

cvrUserEnforced0x8000The 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:

cvtValid0The chain is valid

cvtValidButUntrusted1The chain is valid, but the root certificate is not trusted

cvtInvalid2The chain is not valid (some of certificates are revoked, expired, or contain an invalid signature)

cvtCantBeEstablished3The 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:

cerrUnknown0x00001Unknown validation error

cerrNoMessageDigest0x00002No message digest attribute included in the signature

cerrNoContentType0x00004No mandatory content-type attribute is included in the signature

cerrNoSigningCertificate0x00008No mandatory signing-certificate (-v2) attribute is included in the signature

cerrNoSignaturePolicy0x00010No signature policy information is included in the signature

cerrNoSignatureTimestamp0x00020The signature is not timestamped

cerrNoCertificateReferences0x00040No certificate-references attribute was found in the signature

cerrNoRevocationReferences0x00080No revocation-references attribute was found in the signature

cerrNoCertificateValues0x00100No certificate-values attribute was found in the signature

cerrNoRevocationValues0x00200No revocation-values attribute was found in the signature

cerrNoTimestampedValidationData0x00400No timestamped validation data was found in the signature

cerrNoArchivalTimestamp0x00800No archival timestamp was found in the signature

cerrUnexpectedValidationElements0x01000Unexpected validation elements were found in the signature

cerrMissingValidationElements0x02000Some mandatory validation elements are missing from the signature

cerrInvalidATSHashIndex0x04000ATS Hash Index attribute is invalid

cerrNoSigningTime0x08000No mandatory signing-time attribute was found in the signature

cerrMisplacedSigPolicyStore0x10000Signature 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.

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.

cssUnknown0The scope of signature is unknown

cssData1The signature is a top-level signature over the data

cssSignature2The signature is a countersignature, and is made over another signature

cssTimestamp3The 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:

svtValid0The signature is valid

svtUnknown1Signature validity is unknown

svtCorrupted2The signature is corrupted

svtSignerNotFound3Failed to acquire the signing certificate. The signature cannot be validated.

svtFailure4General failure

svtReferenceCorrupted5Reference 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.

The following fields are available:

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:

ckuUnknown0x00000Unknown key usage

ckuDigitalSignature0x00001Digital signature

ckuNonRepudiation0x00002Non-repudiation

ckuKeyEncipherment0x00004Key encipherment

ckuCodeSigning0x00800Code signing

ckuEmailProtection0x01000Email protection

ckuTimeStamping0x02000Timestamping

ckuSmartCardLogon0x08000Smartcard logon

ckuKeyPurposeClientAuth0x10000Kerberos - client authentication

ckuKeyPurposeKDC0x20000Kerberos - 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.

The following fields are available:

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.

The following fields are available:

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.

SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_SHAKE_256_LENSHAKE_256_LEN

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

ecmGenericGeneric external signing with the OnExternalSign event (2)
ecmDCAuthDCAuth signing (3)
ecmDCAuthJSONDCAuth 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.

crapmCompatible0TLS 1.0 and 1.1 compatibility mode (renegotiation indication extension is disabled).
crapmStrict1Renegotiation attack prevention is enabled and enforced.
crapmAuto2Automatically choose whether to enable or disable renegotiation attack prevention.

RevocationCheck
int

Default Value: 1

Specifies the kind(s) of revocation check to perform.

Revocation checking is necessary to ensure the integrity of the chain and obtain up-to-date certificate validity and trustworthiness information.

crcNone0No revocation checking.
crcAuto1Automatic mode selection. Currently this maps to crcAnyOCSPOrCRL, but it may change in the future.
crcAllCRL2All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed.
crcAllOCSP3All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed.
crcAllCRLAndOCSP4All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed.
crcAnyCRL5All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed.
crcAnyOCSP6All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed.
crcAnyCRLOrOCSP7All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. CRL endpoints are checked first.
crcAnyOCSPOrCRL8All 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.

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

AddReferencesToAllUsedCertsAndRevInfo:   Whether to include all certificates and revocation references in CompleteCertificateRefs attribute.

If this property is set, all certificates and revocation references collected during validation will be added to the CompleteCertificateRefs attribute of the signature. This feature is not required by the CAdES specification, however, some processors may expect such behavior.

AddReferencesToIrrevocableCerts:   Whether references to irrevocable certificates should be included in CompleteCertificateRefs attribute.

Set this property to True to include references to irrevocable certificates in CompleteCertificateRefs attribute

AddReferenceToSigningCert:   Whether a reference to the signing certificate should be included in CompleteCertificateRefs attribute.

Set this property to True to include a reference to the signing certificate in CompleteCertificateRefs attribute

AllowPartialValidationInfo:   Whether to allow for missing validation info.

If this property is set to True, signature validation will not fail if validation information for a certificate is absent.

AsyncDocumentID:   Specifies the document ID for SignAsyncEnd() call.

Use this property when working with multi-signature DCAuth requests and responses to uniquely identify documents signed within a larger batch. This value helps ASiCSigner 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 pre-signing (SignAsyncBegin) and completion (SignAsyncEnd) stages.

CachedCRLOverlapTime:   Specifies the time period before a cached CRL's NextUpdate when it is considered stale and must be refreshed.

Use this property to specify the number of seconds before the NextUpdate time at which the cached CRL should be disregarded, and a new CRL should be fetched.

CachedOCSPResponseOverlapTime:   Specifies the time period before a cached OCSP Response's NextUpdate when it is considered stale and must be refreshed.

Use this property to specify the number of seconds before the NextUpdate time at which the cached OCSP Response should be disregarded, and a new OCSP Response should be fetched.

ChainCurrentCACert:   Returns the current CA certificate.

This property returns the CA certificate that is used on the current step.

ChainCurrentCert:   Returns the certificate that is currently being validated.

Use this property to obtain the body of the certificate that is currently being validated.

ChainCurrentCRL:   Returns the current CRL.

Returns the CRL object that is currently being processed.

ChainCurrentCRLSize:   Returns the size of the current CRL.

This property returns the size of the CRL object that is currently being processed.

ChainCurrentOCSP:   Returns the current OCSP response.

Returns the OCSP object that is currently being processed.

CmsOptUseGeneralizedTimeFormat:   Enables or disables encoding of the signing-time attribute using ASN.1 GENERALIZEDTIME type.

This CMS message option controls whether the signing-time attribute should be encoded as GENERALIZEDTIME or UTCTIME. Current regulations require that the GENERALIZEDTIME type is used at all times.

CmsOptUseGenericSigAlgorithmOIDs:   Enables use of generic signature algorithm OIDs in the signature.

This CMS message option enforces the use of generic public key algorithm OIDs (e.g. rsaEncryption) instead of hash algorithm-specific variants (e.g. sha256withRsaEncryption). This setting is a workaround for certain buggy CAdES products.

CmsOptUsePlainContentForTimestampHashes:   Makes CAdESSigner ignore ASN.1 content formatting when calculating timestamp hashes.

This CMS message option causes CAdESSigner to ignore ASN.1 formatting when feeding content to timestamp hashes (might make a difference with split OCTETSTRINGs for extra long contents). This option is only applicable to content timestamps and ArchivalTimestampV1's. This setting is a workaround for certain buggy CAdES products.

ContentType:   The content type of the CMS message.

Specifies the content type of the CMS message.

DeepCountersignatureValidation:   Whether to validate countersignatures.

When this property is set, deep validation of countersignatures is performed.

DeepTimestampValidation:   Whether to perform deep validation of all timestamps.

When this property is set, deep validation of all signature's timestamps is performed.

DislikeOpenEndedOCSPs:   Tells the class to discourage OCSP responses without an explicit NextUpdate parameter.

When this property is set to True, the validation engine treats OCSP response without a NextUpdate field as 'substandard' and tries to obtain some further revocation material for the certificate in question (a different OCSP or a CRL, even if the class is configured to prefer the OCSP route). This is to work around Adobe Reader's intolerance to such OCSPs when classifying signed documents as LTV (as of August 2022).

ForceCompleteChainValidation:   Whether to check the CA certificates when the signing certificate is invalid.

Set this property to True to check issuer (CA) certificates if the signing or an intermediate chain certificate is invalid.

ForceCompleteChainValidationForTrusted:   Whether to continue with the full validation up to the root CA certificate for mid-level trust anchors.

Set this property to True to enable full chain validation for explicitly trusted intermediary or end-entity certificates. This may be useful when creating signatures to enforce completeness of the collected revocation information. It often makes sense to set this property to false when validating signatures to reduce validation time and avoid issues with badly configured environments.

GracePeriod:   Specifies a grace period to apply during revocation information checks.

Use this property to specify a grace period (in seconds). Grace period applies to certain subprotocols, such as OCSP, and caters to the inaccuracy and/or missynchronization of clocks on different participating systems. Any time deviations within the grace period will be tolerated.

IgnoreChainLoops:   Whether chain loops should be ignored.

Set this property to True to make the validation engine ignore chain loops. This may be an option when you need to process chains from buggy CAs that happen to include subchains that sign themselves.

IgnoreChainValidationErrors:   Whether to ignore any certificate chain validation issues.

Enable this property to ignore any chain validation errors when creating a signature. This may be useful if the signature is created in an environment which uses different trust settings to the validation environment.

IgnoreOCSPNoCheckExtension:   Whether the OCSP NoCheck extension should be ignored.

Set this property to True to make the validation engine ignore the OCSP no-check extension. You would normally need to set this property when validating severely non-compliant chains that misuse the extension, causing chain loops or other validation issues.

IgnoreSystemTrust:   Whether trusted Windows Certificate Stores should be treated as trusted.

Specifies whether, during chain validation, the class should respect the trust to CA certificates as configured in the operating system. In Windows this effectively defines whether the class should trust the certificates residing in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store.

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.

ImplicitlyTrustSelfSignedCertificates:   Whether to trust self-signed certificates.

Set this property to True to implicitly trust all self-signed certificates. Use it with care as trusting just about every self-signed certificate is unwise. One exceptional reason where this property may be handy is where a chain is validated in an environment that is not supposed to trust it (for example, a signing, rather than verifying environment, or a QA server). Trusting all self-signing certificates (which are normally trusted) allows emulating the verifying environment without actually changing its security settings.

PromoteLongOCSPResponses:   Whether long OCSP responses are requested.

Set this property to True to force the class to publish the 'long' form of OCSP responses. Otherwise, only BasicOCSPResponse blobs are promoted.

PSSUsed:   Whether to use RSASSA-PSS algorithm.

Although the RSASSA-PSS algorithm provides better security than a classic RSA scheme (PKCS#1-1.5), please take into account that RSASSA-PSS is a relatively new algorithm which may not be understood by older implementations. This is an alias for UsePSS.

ReportInvalidTimestamps:   Whether to raise errors for invalid timestamps.

When this property is set, an invalid timestamp will be considered a critical issue.

SigPolicyURI:   The EPES policy URI.

Assign the EPES policy URI to this setting.

SkipValidationTimestampedSignatures:   Whether to validate signatures with validation timestamps.

Set this property to False to enforce validation of the signatures containing validation timestamps.

SuppressValuesInC:   Makes CAdESSigner not add certificate and revocation values to its C-level signatures.

In default configuration CAdESSigner includes both references and values to its C-level signatures. Switch this setting on to make it exclude the values from such signatures (only leaving the references).

TempPath:   Path for storing temporary files.

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

TimestampResponse:   A base16-encoded timestamp response received from a TSA.

Check this property in the TLSCertValidate event handler to retrieve the validation log of the TLS server.

TolerateMinorChainIssues:   Whether to tolerate minor chain issues.

This parameter controls whether the chain validator should tolerate minor technical issues when validating the chain. Those are:

  • 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
TspAttemptCount:   Specifies the number of timestamping request attempts.

Use this property to specify a number of timestamping request attempts.

In case of a timestamping failure, provide new TSA and HTTP settings inside the Notification event handler ('BeforeTimestamp' and 'TimestampError' event IDs).

TspHashAlgorithm:   Sets a specific hash algorithm for use with the timestamping service.

In default configuration class uses the 'SHA256' hash algorithm. Use this property to specify a different hash algorithm for the timestamp.

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.

TspReqPolicy:   Sets a request policy ID to include in the timestamping request.

Use this property to provide a specific request policy OID to include in the timestamping request. Use the standard human-readable OID notation (1.2.3.4.5).

Use this property to tell the validator to use (or not to use) the default TSLs (Trust Service status Lists).

The following default TSLs are used: EU (European Union) LOTL (list of trusted lists).

UseMicrosoftCTL:   Enables or disables the automatic use of the Microsoft online certificate trust list.

Enable this property to make the chain validation module automatically look up missing CA certificates in the public Windows Update repository.

UsePSS:   Whether to use RSASSA-PSS algorithm.

Although the RSASSA-PSS algorithm provides better security than a classic RSA scheme (PKCS#1-1.5), please take into account that RSASSA-PSS is a relatively new algorithm which may not be understood by older implementations.

UseSystemCertificates:   Enables or disables the use of the system certificates.

Use this property to tell the chain validation module to automatically look up missing CA certificates in the system certificates. In many cases it is beneficial to switch this property on, as the operating system certificate configuration provides a representative trust framework.

UseUndefSize:   Toggles the use of indefinite/definite ASN.1 tag length encoding.

Switch this property off to make CAdESSigner use definite ASN.1 tag length encoding (explicit lengths) for signed data. The default setting is true, which makes the resulting ASN.1 structure use indefinite length encoding (30 80 ..data.. 00 00).

UseValidationCache:   Enables or disable the use of the product-wide certificate chain validation cache.

Use this property to enable or disable the use of the global chain validation cache. If enabled, the class will consult the product-wide validation cache when validating the signing chains. Also, the outcomes of any new chain validations performed by the class, both interim and final, will be saved in the cache and available for re-use by any future validations. Disable this property to ignore the cache and always perform the validation from a fresh start.

UseValidatorSettingsForTLSValidation:   Whether to employ the primary chain validator setup for auxiliary TLS chain validations.

ProductVersion:   Returns the version of the SecureBlackbox library.

This property returns the long version string of the SecureBlackbox library being used (major.minor.build.revision).

ServerSSLDHKeyLength:   Sets the size of the TLS DHE key exchange group.

Use this property to adjust the length, in bits, of the DHE prime to be used by the TLS server.

StaticDNS:   Specifies whether static DNS rules should be used.

Set this property to enable or disable static DNS rules for the class. Works only if UseOwnDNSResolver is set to true.

Supported values are:

noneNo static DNS rules (default)
localLocal static DNS rules
globalGlobal static DNS rules

StaticIPAddress[domain]:   Gets or sets an IP address for the specified domain name.

Use this property to get or set an IP address for the specified domain name in the internal (of the class) or global DNS rules storage depending on the StaticDNS value.

Tag:   Allows to store any custom data.

Use this config property to store any custom data.

TLSSessionGroup:   Specifies the group name of TLS sessions to be used for session resumption.

Use this property to limit the search of chached TLS sessions to the specified group. Sessions from other groups will be ignored. By default, all sessions are cached with an empty group name and available to all the classes.

TLSSessionLifetime:   Specifies lifetime in seconds of the cached TLS session.

Use this property to specify how much time the TLS session should be kept in the session cache. After this time, the session expires and will be automatically removed from the cache. Default value is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

TLSSessionPurgeInterval:   Specifies how often the session cache should remove the expired TLS sessions.

Use this property to specify the time interval of purging the expired TLS sessions from the session cache. Default value is 60 seconds (1 minute).

UseCRLObjectCaching:   Specifies whether reuse of loaded CRL objects is enabled.

This setting enables or disables the caching of CRL objects. When set to true (the default value), the system checks if a CRL object is already loaded in memory before attempting to load a new instance. If the object is found, the existing instance is reused, and its reference count is incremented to track its usage. When the reference count reaches zero, indicating that no references to the object remain, the system will free the object from memory. This setting enhances performance by minimizing unnecessary object instantiation and promotes efficient memory management, particularly in scenarios where CRL objects are frequently used.

UseInternalRandom:   Switches between SecureBlackbox-own and platform PRNGs.

Allows to switch between internal/native PRNG implementation and the one provided by the platform.

UseLegacyAdESValidation:   Enables legacy AdES validation mode.

UseOCSPResponseObjectCaching:   Specifies whether reuse of loaded OCSP response objects is enabled.

This setting enables or disables the caching of OCSP response objects. When set to true (the default value), the system checks if a OCSP response object is already loaded in memory before attempting to load a new instance. If the object is found, the existing instance is reused, and its reference count is incremented to track its usage. When the reference count reaches zero, indicating that no references to the object remain, the system will free the object from memory. This setting enhances performance by minimizing unnecessary object instantiation and promotes efficient memory management, particularly in scenarios where OCSP response objects are frequently used.

UseOwnDNSResolver:   Specifies whether the client components should use own DNS resolver.

Set this global property to false to force all the client components to use the DNS resolver provided by the target OS instead of using own one.

UseSharedSystemStorages:   Specifies whether the validation engine should use a global per-process copy of the system certificate stores.

Set this global property to false to make each validation run use its own copy of system certificate stores.

UseSystemNativeSizeCalculation:   An internal CryptoAPI access tweak.

This is an internal setting. Please do not use it unless instructed by the support team.

UseSystemOAEPAndPSS:   Enforces or disables the use of system-driven RSA OAEP and PSS computations.

This global setting defines who is responsible for performing RSA-OAEP and RSA-PSS computations where the private key is stored in a Windows system store and is exportable. If set to true, SBB will delegate the computations to Windows via a CryptoAPI call. Otherwise, it will export the key material and perform the computations using its own OAEP/PSS implementation.

This setting only applies to certificates originating from a Windows system store.

UseSystemRandom:   Enables or disables the use of the OS PRNG.

Use this global property to enable or disable the use of operating system-driven pseudorandom number generation.

XMLRDNDescriptorName[OID]:   Defines an OID mapping to descriptor names for the certificate's IssuerRDN or SubjectRDN.

This property defines custom mappings between Object Identifiers (OIDs) and descriptor names. This mapping specifies how the certificate's issuer and subject information (ds:IssuerRDN and ds:SubjectRDN elements respectively) are represented in XML signatures.

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.

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");

XMLRDNDescriptorPriority[OID]:   Specifies the priority of descriptor names associated with a specific OID.

This property specifies the priority of descriptor names associated with a specific OID that allows to reorder descriptors in the ds:IssuerRDN and ds:SubjectRDN elements during signing.

XMLRDNDescriptorReverseOrder:   Specifies whether to reverse the order of descriptors in RDN.

Specifies whether to reverse the order of descriptors in the ds:IssuerRDN and ds:SubjectRDN elements during XML signing. By default, this property is set to true (as specified in RFC 2253, 2.1).

XMLRDNDescriptorSeparator:   Specifies the separator used between descriptors in RDN.

Specifies the separator used between descriptors in the ds:IssuerRDN and ds:SubjectRDN elements during XML signing. By default, this property is set to ", " value.
