CryptoKeyManager Class

Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors

The CryptoKeyManager class provides a simple way to load, generate and manage generic crypto keys.

Syntax

CryptoKeyManager

Remarks

CryptoKeyManager allows you to load, save, generate, import, and export low-level crypto keys. One example of such keys are raw RSA keys stored in PKCS1 format or AES256 keys. CryptoKeyManager supports asymmetric, symmetric, and HMAC keys.

CryptoKeyManager is a typical companion for low-level cryptography classes, such as PublicKeyCrypto, SymmetricCrypto, and HashFunction. It can also be used to provide external key material to certificate objects, and to derive cryptographic keys from passwords.

Use ImportBytes or ImportFromFile method to load the key material from a buffer or file. Use ImportFromCert (and remember to assign the certificate object to the Certificate property before calling it) to import a key from an X.509 certificate. Once loaded, the key will be available in the Key property.

To generate a new key or keypair use Generate method. You can export the generated key using ExportBytes or ExportToFile method. You can attach the generated or loaded key to an external certificate object using the ExportToCert method.

Note: CryptoKeyManager can only work with one cryptographic key at a time. Use CryptoKeyStorage to access media containing more than one key.

Config Method (CryptoKeyManager Class)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* Config(const char* lpszConfigurationString);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR Config(LPCWSTR lpszConfigurationString);

char* secureblackbox_cryptokeymanager_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. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

int CreateNew();

Remarks

This method pre-generates a template for a new key.

Adjust the properties of the Key object and call Generate to complete the generation.

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.)

DeriveKey Method (CryptoKeyManager Class)

Generates a strong cryptographic key from a password.

  INT reserved;
} CryptoKeyManagerErrorEventParams;

#define EID_CRYPTOKEYMANAGER_ERROR 1

virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireError(INT &iErrorCode, LPSTR &lpszDescription);

class CryptoKeyManagerErrorEventParams {
public:
  int ErrorCode();

  const QString &Description();

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal.
void Error(CryptoKeyManagerErrorEventParams *e);

// Or, subclass CryptoKeyManager and override this emitter function.
virtual int FireError(CryptoKeyManagerErrorEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

The event is fired when an error happens in the middle of the class's work.

ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error.

Notification Event (CryptoKeyManager Class)

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

};

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal.
void Notification(CryptoKeyManagerNotificationEventParams *e);

// Or, subclass CryptoKeyManager and override this emitter function.
virtual int FireNotification(CryptoKeyManagerNotificationEventParams *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.

virtual int FirePasswordNeeded(CryptoKeyManagerPasswordNeededEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  const char *NeededFor;
  char *Password;
  int Cancel;
  int reserved;
} CryptoKeyManagerPasswordNeededEventParams;


Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FirePasswordNeeded(CryptoKeyManagerPasswordNeededEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  LPCWSTR NeededFor;
  LPWSTR Password;
  BOOL Cancel;
  INT reserved;
} CryptoKeyManagerPasswordNeededEventParams;

#define EID_CRYPTOKEYMANAGER_PASSWORDNEEDED 3

virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FirePasswordNeeded(LPSTR &lpszNeededFor, LPSTR &lpszPassword, BOOL &bCancel);

class CryptoKeyManagerPasswordNeededEventParams {
public:
  const QString &NeededFor();

  const QString &Password();
  void SetPassword(const QString &qsPassword);

  bool Cancel();
  void SetCancel(bool bCancel);

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal.
void PasswordNeeded(CryptoKeyManagerPasswordNeededEventParams *e);

// Or, subclass CryptoKeyManager and override this emitter function.
virtual int FirePasswordNeeded(CryptoKeyManagerPasswordNeededEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

The class fires this event when a password is needed to decrypt a certificate or a private key.

In the handler of this event, assign the password to the Password parameter, or set Cancel to true to abort the operation.

The NeededFor parameter identifies the certificate for which the password is requested.

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:


ckuUnknown	`0x00000`	Unknown key usage
ckuDigitalSignature	`0x00001`	Digital signature
ckuNonRepudiation	`0x00002`	Non-repudiation
ckuKeyEncipherment	`0x00004`	Key encipherment
ckuDataEncipherment	`0x00008`	Data encipherment
ckuKeyAgreement	`0x00010`	Key agreement
ckuKeyCertSign	`0x00020`	Certificate signing
ckuCRLSign	`0x00040`	Revocation signing
ckuEncipherOnly	`0x00080`	Encipher only
ckuDecipherOnly	`0x00100`	Decipher only
ckuServerAuthentication	`0x00200`	Server authentication
ckuClientAuthentication	`0x00400`	Client authentication
ckuCodeSigning	`0x00800`	Code signing
ckuEmailProtection	`0x01000`	Email protection
ckuTimeStamping	`0x02000`	Timestamping
ckuOCSPSigning	`0x04000`	OCSP signing
ckuSmartCardLogon	`0x08000`	Smartcard logon
ckuKeyPurposeClientAuth	`0x10000`	Kerberos - client authentication
ckuKeyPurposeKDC	`0x20000`	Kerberos - KDC

Set this field before generating the certificate to propagate the key usage flags to the new certificate.

KeyValid
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE

Returns True if the certificate's key is cryptographically valid, and False otherwise.

OCSPLocations
char*
Default Value: ""

Locations of OCSP services that can be used to check this certificate's validity in real time, as recorded by the CA.

Set this field before calling the certificate manager's Generate method to propagate it to the new certificate.

The OCSP locations are provided as a list of CRLF-separated URLs. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the location separator.

OCSPNoCheck
int
Default Value: FALSE

Accessor to the value of the certificate's ocsp-no-check extension.

Origin
int (read-only)
Default Value: 0

Returns the location that the certificate was taken or loaded from.

PolicyIDs
char*
Default Value: ""

Contains identifiers (OIDs) of the applicable certificate policies.

The Certificate Policies extension identifies a sequence of policies under which the certificate has been issued, and which regulate its usage.

Set this field when generating a certificate to propagate the policies information to the new certificate.

The policies are provided as a list of CRLF-separated entries. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the policy element separator.

PrivateKeyBytes
char* (read-only)
Default Value:

Returns the certificate's private key in DER-encoded format. It is normal for this field to be empty if the private key is non-exportable, which, for example, is typical for certificates originating from hardware security devices.

PrivateKeyExists
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE

Indicates whether the certificate has a usable private key associated with it. If it is set to True, the certificate can be used for private key operations, such as signing or decryption.

This field is independent from PrivateKeyBytes, and can be set to True even if the former is empty. This would imply that the private key is non-exportable, but still can be used for cryptographic operations.

PrivateKeyExtractable
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE

Indicates whether the private key is extractable (exportable).

PublicKeyBytes
char* (read-only)
Default Value:

Contains the certificate's public key in DER format.

This typically would contain an ASN.1-encoded public key value. The exact format depends on the type of the public key contained in the certificate.

Qualified
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE

Indicates whether the certificate is qualified.

This property is set to True if the certificate is confirmed by a Trusted List to be qualified.

QualifiedStatements
int
Default Value: 0

Returns a simplified qualified status of the certificate.

Qualifiers
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""

A list of qualifiers.

Contains a comma-separated list of qualifier aliases for the certificate, for example QCP-n-qscd,QCWithSSCD.

SelfSigned
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE

Indicates whether the certificate is self-signed (root) or signed by an external CA.

SerialNumber
char*
Default Value:

Returns the certificate's serial number.

The serial number is a binary string that uniquely identifies a certificate among others issued by the same CA. According to the X.509 standard, the (issuer, serial number) pair should be globally unique to facilitate chain building.

SigAlgorithm
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""

Indicates the algorithm that was used by the CA to sign this certificate.

A signature algorithm typically combines hash and public key algorithms together, such as sha256WithRSAEncryption or ecdsa-with-SHA256.

Source
int (read-only)
Default Value: 0

Returns the source (location or disposition) of a cryptographic primitive entity, such as a certificate, CRL, or OCSP response.

Subject
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""

The common name of the certificate holder, typically an individual's name, a URL, an e-mail address, or a company name. This is part of a larger set of credentials available via SubjectRDN.

SubjectAlternativeName
char*
Default Value: ""

Returns or sets the value of the Subject Alternative Name extension of the certificate.

Subject alternative names are used to provide additional names that are impractical to store in the main SubjectRDN field. For example, it is often used to store all the domain names that a TLS certificate is authorized to protect.

The alternative names are provided as a list of CRLF-separated entries. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the element separator.

SubjectKeyID
char*
Default Value:

Contains a unique identifier of the certificate's cryptographic key.

Subject Key Identifier is a certificate extension which allows a specific public key to be associated with a certificate holder. Typically, subject key identifiers of CA certificates are recorded as respective CA key identifiers in the subordinate certificates that they issue, which facilitates chain building.

The SubjectKeyID and CAKeyID fields of self-signed certificates typically contain identical values, as in that specific case, the issuer and the subject are the same entity.

SubjectRDN
char*
Default Value: ""

A list of Property=Value pairs that uniquely identify the certificate holder (subject).

Depending on the purpose of the certificate and the policies of the CA that issued it, the values included in the subject record may differ drastically and contain business or personal names, web URLs, email addresses, and other data.

Example: /C=US/O=Oranges and Apples, Inc./OU=Accounts Receivable/1.2.3.4.5=Value with unknown OID/CN=Margaret Watkins.

Valid
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE

Indicates whether or not the signature over the certificate or the request is valid and matches the public key contained in the CA certificate/request.

ValidFrom
char*
Default Value: ""

The time point at which the certificate becomes valid, in UTC.

ValidTo
char*
Default Value: ""

The time point at which the certificate expires, in UTC.

Bits
int (read-only)
Default Value: 0

The length of the key in bits.

Curve
char*
Default Value: ""

This property specifies the name of the curve the EC key is built on.

Exportable
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE

Returns True if the key is exportable (can be serialized into an array of bytes), and False otherwise.

Fingerprint
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""

Contains the fingerprint (a hash imprint) of this key.

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.

ID
char*
Default Value:

Provides access to a storage-specific key identifier. Key identifiers are used by cryptographic providers to refer to a particular key and/or distinguish between different keys. They are typically unique within a storage, but there is no guarantee that a particular cryptoprovider will conform to that (or will assign any key IDs at all).

IV
char*
Default Value:

The initialization vector (IV) of a symmetric key. This is normally a public part of a symmetric key, the idea of which is to introduce randomness to the encrypted data and/or serve as a first block in chaining ciphers.

Key
char* (read-only)
Default Value:

The byte array representation of the key. This may not be available for non-Exportable keys.

Nonce
char*
Default Value:

A nonce value associated with a key. It is similar to IV, but its only purpose is to introduce randomness.

Private
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE

Returns True if the object hosts a private key, and False otherwise.

Public
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE

Returns True if the object hosts a public key, and False otherwise.

Subject
char*
Default Value:

Returns the key subject. This is a cryptoprovider-dependent value, which normally aims to provide some user-friendly insight into the key owner.

Symmetric
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE

Returns True if the object contains a symmetric key, and False otherwise.

Valid
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE

Returns True if this key is valid. The term Valid highly depends on the kind of the key being stored. A symmetric key is considered valid if its length fits the algorithm being set. The validity of an RSA key also ensures that the RSA key elements (primes, exponents, and modulus) are consistent.

Constructors

CryptoKey()

Creates an empty crypto key object.

SecureBlackboxStream Type

Syntax

SecureBlackboxStream (declared in secureblackbox.h)

Remarks

The CryptoKeyManager class includes one or more API members that take a stream object as a parameter. To use such API members, create a concrete class that implements the SecureBlackboxStream interface and pass the CryptoKeyManager class an instance of that concrete class.

When implementing the SecureBlackboxStream interface's properties and methods, they must behave as described below. If the concrete class's implementation does not behave as expected, undefined behavior may occur.

Properties

CanRead	Whether the stream supports reading. bool CanRead() { return true; }
CanSeek	Whether the stream supports seeking. bool CanSeek() { return true; }
CanWrite	Whether the stream supports writing. bool CanWrite() { return true; }
Length	Gets the length of the stream, in bytes. int64 GetLength() = 0;
Methods

Close	Closes the stream, releasing all resources currently allocated for it. void Close() {} This method is called automatically when a SecureBlackboxStream object is deleted.
Flush	Forces all data held by the stream's buffers to be written out to storage. int Flush() { return 0; } Must return `0` if flushing is successful; or `-1` if an error occurs or the stream is closed. If the stream does not support writing, this method must do nothing and return `0`.
Read	Reads a sequence of bytes from the stream and advances the current position within the stream by the number of bytes read. int Read(void* buffer, int count) = 0; `Buffer` specifies the buffer to populate with data from the stream. `Count` specifies the number of bytes that should be read from the stream. Must return the total number of bytes read into `Buffer`; this may be less than `Count` if that many bytes are not currently available, or `0` if the end of the stream has been reached. Must return `-1` if an error occurs, if reading is not supported, or if the stream is closed.
Seek	Sets the current position within the stream based on a particular point of origin. int64 Seek(int64 offset, int seekOrigin) = 0; `Offset` specifies the offset in the stream to seek to, relative to `SeekOrigin`. Valid values for `SeekOrigin` are: `0`: Seek from beginning. `1`: Seek from current position. `2`: Seek from end. Must return the new position within the stream; or `-1` if an error occurs, if seeking is not supported, or if the stream is closed (however, see note below). If `-1` is returned, the current position within the stream must remain unchanged. Note: If the stream is not closed, it must always be possible to call this method with an `Offset` of `0` and a `SeekOrigin` of `1` to obtain the current position within the stream, even if seeking is not otherwise supported.
Write	Writes a sequence of bytes to the stream and advances the current position within the stream by the number of bytes written. int Write(const void* buffer, int count) = 0; `Buffer` specifies the buffer with data to write to the stream. `Count` specifies the number of bytes that should be written to the stream. Must return the total number of bytes written to the stream; this may be less than `Count` if that many bytes could not be written. Must return `-1` if an error occurs, if writing is not supported, or if the stream is closed.

Config Settings (CryptoKeyManager 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.

CryptoKeyManager Config Settings

Argon2MemoryCost: Sets the memory cost parameter of Argon2 key derivation algorithm.

Use this property to specify the memory cost parameter of Argon2 algorithm. The default value is 1048576.

Argon2Parallelism: Sets the parallelism parameter of Argon2 key derivation algorithm.

Use this property to specify the parallelism parameter of Argon2 algorithm. The default value is 2.

DerivationAlgorithm: The algorithm to use for key derivation.

This property specifies the key derivation algorithm to use.

The following values are supported: PKCS5 (the default setting), BCrypt, SCrypt, Argon2d, Argon2i, Argon2id.

DeriveIterations: The number of iterations to use as part of key derivation routine.

Use this property to adjust the number of hash algorithm iterations to employ as part of key derivation function.

HMACAlgorithm: Specifies the HMAC algorithm to use with the key derivation algorithm.

This property specifies the HMAC algorithm to use with the chosen key derivation algorithm.

Use normal hash algorithm constants with this property: SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, RIPEMD.

TempPath: Path for storing temporary files.

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

Base Config Settings

ASN1UseGlobalTagCache: Controls whether ASN.1 module should use a global object cache.

This is a performance setting. It is unlikely that you will ever need to adjust it.

AssignSystemSmartCardPins: Specifies whether CSP-level PINs should be assigned to CNG keys.

This is a low-level tweak for certain cryptographic providers. It is unlikely that you will ever need to adjust it.

CheckKeyIntegrityBeforeUse: Enables or disable private key integrity check before use.

This global property enables or disables private key material check before each signing operation. This slows down performance a bit, but prevents a selection of attacks on RSA keys where keys with unknown origins are used.

You can switch this property off to improve performance if your project only uses known, good private keys.

CookieCaching: Specifies whether a cookie cache should be used for HTTP(S) transports.

Set this property to enable or disable cookies caching for the class.

Supported values are:


off		No caching (default)
local		Local caching
global		Global caching

Cookies: Gets or sets local cookies for the class.

Use this property to get cookies from the internal cookie storage of the class and/or restore them back between application sessions.

DefDeriveKeyIterations: Specifies the default key derivation algorithm iteration count.

This global property sets the default number of iterations for all supported key derivation algorithms. Note that you can provide the required number of iterations by using properties of the relevant key generation component; this global setting is used in scenarios where specific iteration count is not or cannot be provided.

DNSLocalSuffix: The suffix to assign for TLD names.

Use this global setting to adjust the default suffix to assign to top-level domain names. The default is .local.

EnableClientSideSSLFFDHE: Enables or disables finite field DHE key exchange support in TLS clients.

This global property enables or disables support for finite field DHE key exchange methods in TLS clients. FF DHE is a slower algorithm if compared to EC DHE; enabling it may result in slower connections.

This setting only applies to sessions negotiated with TLS version 1.3.

GlobalCookies: Gets or sets global cookies for all the HTTP transports.

Use this property to get cookies from the GLOBAL cookie storage or restore them back between application sessions. These cookies will be used by all the classes that have its CookieCaching property set to "global".

HardwareCryptoUsePolicy: The hardware crypto usage policy.

This global setting controls the hardware cryptography usage policy: auto, enable, or disable.

HttpUserAgent: Specifies the user agent name to be used by all HTTP clients.

This global setting defines the User-Agent field of the HTTP request provides information about the software that initiates the request. This value will be used by all the HTTP clients including the ones used internally in other classes.

HttpVersion: The HTTP version to use in any inner HTTP client components created.

Set this property to 1.0 or 1.1 to indicate the HTTP version that any internal HTTP clients should use.

IgnoreExpiredMSCTLSigningCert: Whether to tolerate the expired Windows Update signing certificate.

It is not uncommon for Microsoft Windows Update Certificate Trust List to be signed with an expired Microsoft certificate. Setting this global property to true makes SBB ignore the expired factor and take the Trust List into account.

ListDelimiter: The delimiter character for multi-element lists.

Allows to set the delimiter for any multi-entry values returned by the component as a string object, such as file lists. For most of the components, this property is set to a newline sequence.

LogDestination: Specifies the debug log destination.

Contains a comma-separated list of values that specifies where debug log should be dumped.

Supported values are:


file		File
console		Console
systemlog		System Log (supported for Android only)
debugger		Debugger (supported for VCL for Windows and .Net)

LogDetails: Specifies the debug log details to dump.

Contains a comma-separated list of values that specifies which debug log details to dump.

Supported values are:


time		Current time
level		Level
package		Package name
module		Module name

LogFile: Specifies the debug log filename.

Use this property to provide a path to the log file.

LogFilters: Specifies the debug log filters.

Contains a comma-separated list of value pairs ("name:value") that describe filters.

Supported filter names are:


exclude-package		Exclude a package specified in the value
exclude-module		Exclude a module specified in the value
exclude-class		Exclude a class specified in the value
exclude-method		Exclude a method specified in the value
include-package		Include a package specified in the value
include-module		Include a module specified in the value
include-class		Include a class specified in the value
include-method		Include a method specified in the value

LogFlushMode: Specifies the log flush mode.

Use this property to set the log flush mode. The following values are defined:


none		No flush (caching only)
immediate		Immediate flush (real-time logging)
maxcount		Flush cached entries upon reaching LogMaxEventCount entries in the cache.

LogLevel: Specifies the debug log level.

Use this property to provide the desired debug log level.

Supported values are:


none		None (by default)
fatal		Severe errors that cause premature termination.
error		Other runtime errors or unexpected conditions.
warning		Use of deprecated APIs, poor use of API, 'almost' errors, other runtime situations that are undesirable or unexpected, but not necessarily "wrong".
info		Interesting runtime events (startup/shutdown).
debug		Detailed information on flow of through the system.
trace		More detailed information.

LogMaxEventCount: Specifies the maximum number of events to cache before further action is taken.

Use this property to specify the log event number threshold. This threshold may have different effects, depending on the rotation setting and/or the flush mode.

The default value of this setting is 100.

LogRotationMode: Specifies the log rotation mode.

Use this property to set the log rotation mode. The following values are defined:


none		No rotation
deleteolder		Delete older entries from the cache upon reaching LogMaxEventCount
keepolder		Keep older entries in the cache upon reaching LogMaxEventCount (newer entries are discarded)

MaxASN1BufferLength: Specifies the maximal allowed length for ASN.1 primitive tag data.

This global property limits the maximal allowed length for ASN.1 tag data for non-content-carrying structures, such as certificates, CRLs, or timestamps. It does not affect structures that can carry content, such as CMS/CAdES messages. This is a security property aiming at preventing DoS attacks.

MaxASN1TreeDepth: Specifies the maximal depth for processed ASN.1 trees.

This global property limits the maximal depth of ASN.1 trees that the component can handle without throwing an error. This is a security property aiming at preventing DoS attacks.

OCSPHashAlgorithm: Specifies the hash algorithm to be used to identify certificates in OCSP requests.

This global setting defines the hash algorithm to use in OCSP requests during chain validation. Some OCSP responders can only use older algorithms, in which case setting this property to SHA1 may be helpful.

OldClientSideRSAFallback: Specifies whether the SSH client should use a SHA1 fallback.

Tells the SSH client to use a legacy ssh-rsa authentication even if the server indicates support for newer algorithms, such as rsa-sha-256. This is a backward-compatibility tweak.

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:


none		No static DNS rules (default)
local		Local static DNS rules
global		Global 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. The type of the IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) is determined automatically. If both addresses are available, they are devided by the | (pipe) character.

StaticIPAddresses: Gets or sets all the static DNS rules.

Use this property to get static DNS rules from the current rules storage or restore them back between application sessions. If StaticDNS of the class is set to "local", the property returns/restores the rules from/to the internal storage of the class. If StaticDNS of the class is set to "global", the property returns/restores the rules from/to the GLOBAL storage. The rules list is returned and accepted in JSON format.

Tag: Allows to store any custom data.

Use this config property to store any custom data.

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

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

UseInternalRandom: Switches between SecureBlackbox-own and platform PRNGs.

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

UseLegacyAdESValidation: Enables legacy AdES validation mode.

Use this setting to switch the AdES component to the validation approach that was used in SBB 2020/SBB 2022 (less attention to temporal details).

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

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

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

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

UseSystemNativeSizeCalculation: An internal CryptoAPI access tweak.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trappable Errors (CryptoKeyManager Class)

Error Handling (C++)

Call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain the last called method's result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. Known error codes are listed below. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.
