DCAuth Class
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The DCAuth class represents the private key side of the SecureBlackbox distributed cryptography protocol.
Syntax
DCAuth
Remarks
The purpose of DCAuth is to sign async requests produced by SignAsyncBegin calls. For each incoming async request containing a document hash, DCAuth produces the corresponding async response containing a signature over that hash.
Protocol Overview
The distributed cryptography protocol involves two principal parties. The signing party, represented by classes such as PDFSigner, XAdESSigner, or OfficeSigner, pre-signs documents (such as PDF files), and encapsulates their hashes into what is called an async request. It then communicates the async request to the private key side, where the DCAuth class extracts the hash and signs it with a local private key. DCAuth then encapsulates the signature into an async response, which is sent back to the signing party. The signing party completes the signing operation by extracting the signature from the async response and embedding it into the pre-signed document.
The protocol supports a variety of uses. The scheme above describes the most typical of them, where the signing party is represented by a web application, and the private key side is represented by a workstation. In that particular scenario DC provides a mechanism for the web app to sign documents residing on the web server with private keys residing on the users workstations, perhaps in non-exportable form (e.g. a USB dongle). Other uses include creation of a signing server for a team of driver developers, or an automated signing gateway for outgoing official documents.
In the webapp-to-browser setting the DCAuth control would normally be used within a web server running on the users workstation. That web server would accept async requests from the web page running in the browser, use DCAuth to generate the matching async response, and feed that response back to the web page. The web page will then submit it back to the web server.
Configuring and Using DCAuth
To process an async request, you need to set up a DCAuth object first, and then call its ProcessRequest method:
- Set the KeyId and KeySecret properties so they match the credentials used by the signing party - e.g. those of PDFSigner object:
DCAuth.KeyId = "mykeyid"; DCAuth.KeySecret = "mykeysecret123";
These two properties are used to verify the integrity of the incoming async requests. Keep them safe.
- Provide the signing certificate:
DCAuth.SigningCertificate = "C:\Certs\SigningCert.pfx"; DCAuth.CertPassword = "password789";
Alternatively, use StorageId to provide a certificate residing elsewhere, such as a PKCS#11 device.
- Assign the async request to the Input property:
DCAuth.Input = Request;
Make sure to provide the request in its original XML format. Some technologies and SecureBlackbox code samples may apply additional encoding when conveying async requests from their origin to the DCAuth endpoint. Please double check that you assign the request without any encodings applied. An async request is a properly formed XML document with the root element of SecureBlackboxAsyncState.
- Call the ProcessRequest method:
DCAuth.ProcessRequest;
This method performs the actual signing of the hash. Make sure your code is prepared for potential signing errors.
- If the ProcessRequest call has succeeded, grab the async response from the Output property:
Result = DCAuth.Output;

Use this property to specify the signing certificate contained on alternative media, such as a hardware device or in a system certificate store.
Example 1: The certificate resides on a PKCS#11 device
pkcs11://user:pin@/c:/windows/system32/pkcsdriver.dll?slot=0&readonly=1
Example 2: The certificate resides in a system store
system://localmachine@/?store=MY
You can use the following URI modifiers to provide more accurate specifiers for the needed certificate:
- cn: the common name of the certificate subject.
- keyid: the unique identifier included in subject key identifier extension of the certificate.
- keyusage: a comma-separated list of enabled (+) or disabled (-) key usages. The following usages are supported: signature, nonrepudiation, keyencipherment, dataencipherment, keyagreement, keycertsign, crlsign, encipheronly, decipheronly, serverauth, clientauth, codesigning, emailprotection, timestamping, ocspsigning, smartcardlogon, keypurposeclientauth, keypurposekdc.
- fingerprint: the fingerprint of the certificate.
Example 3: selecting the certificate with a given fingerprint:
pkcs11://user:pin@/c:/windows/system32/pkcsdriver.dll?slot=0&readonly=1&fingerprint=001122334455667788aabbccddeeff0011223344

TimestampServer Property (DCAuth 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_dcauth_gettimestampserver(void* lpObj);
int secureblackbox_dcauth_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&includecerts=true&reqpolicy=1.2.3.4.5&halg=SHA256&ignorenonce=true
Subscribe to Notification event to get notified about the virtualized timestamping event. The EventID of the timestamping event is TimestampRequest. Inside the event handler, read the base16-encoded request from the EventParam parameter and forward it to the timestamping authority. Upon receiving the response, pass it back to the component, encoded in base16, via the TimestampResponse config property:
component.Config("TimestampResponse=308208ab...");
Note that all the exchange with your custom TSA should take place within the same invocation of the Notification event.
The hashonly parameter of the virtual URI tells the component to only return the timestamp message imprint via the EventParam parameter. If set to false, EventParam will contain the complete RFC3161 timestamping request.
The includecerts parameter specifies that the requestCertificates parameter of the timestamping request should be set to true.
The reqpolicy parameter lets you specify the request policy, and the halg parameter specifies the hash algorithm to use for timestamping.
The ignorenonce parameter allows you to switch off client nonce verification to enable compatibility with TSA services that do not support nonce mirroring.
All the parameters are optional.

Data Type
Config Method (DCAuth Class)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) char* Config(const char* lpszConfigurationString); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR Config(LPCWSTR lpszConfigurationString);
char* secureblackbox_dcauth_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.
DoAction Method (DCAuth Class)
Performs an additional action.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) char* DoAction(const char* lpszActionID, const char* lpszActionParams); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR DoAction(LPCWSTR lpszActionID, LPCWSTR lpszActionParams);
char* secureblackbox_dcauth_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:
Action | Parameters | Returned value | Description |
ResetTrustedListCache | none | none | Clears the cached list of trusted lists. |
ResetCertificateCache | none | none | Clears the cached certificates. |
ResetCRLCache | none | none | Clears the cached CRLs. |
ResetOCSPResponseCache | none | none | Clears the cached OCSP responses. |
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.
ProcessRequest Method (DCAuth Class)
Processes the request.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int ProcessRequest(); Unicode (Windows) INT ProcessRequest();
int secureblackbox_dcauth_processrequest(void* lpObj);
int ProcessRequest();
Remarks
Use this method to process the request, sign the hashes, and produce the response. This is the main method of the class. Note that a single request received from the counterparty may contain more than one signature request. This method processes them all, reporting each atomic signature request with SignRequest and SignRequestCompleted events. Before calling this method, make sure you assign the request content to Input. Upon completion, read the response (containing all the signatures) from Output property.
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.)
Reset Method (DCAuth Class)
Resets the class settings.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int Reset(); Unicode (Windows) INT Reset();
int secureblackbox_dcauth_reset(void* lpObj);
int Reset();
Remarks
Reset is a generic method available in every class.
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.)
CustomParametersReceived Event (DCAuth Class)
Passes custom request parameters to the application.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireCustomParametersReceived(DCAuthCustomParametersReceivedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *Value; int reserved; } DCAuthCustomParametersReceivedEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireCustomParametersReceived(DCAuthCustomParametersReceivedEventParams *e);

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void CustomParametersReceived(DCAuthCustomParametersReceivedEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DCAuth and override this emitter function. virtual int FireCustomParametersReceived(DCAuthCustomParametersReceivedEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
This event is only provided for backward compatibility and is not currently used.
Error Event (DCAuth Class)
Reports information about errors during request processing or signing.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireError(DCAuthErrorEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int ErrorCode;
const char *Description; int reserved; } DCAuthErrorEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireError(DCAuthErrorEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
INT ErrorCode;
LPCWSTR Description; INT reserved; } DCAuthErrorEventParams;
#define EID_DCAUTH_ERROR 2 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireError(INT &iErrorCode, LPSTR &lpszDescription);
class DCAuthErrorEventParams { public: int ErrorCode(); const QString &Description(); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Error(DCAuthErrorEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DCAuth and override this emitter function. virtual int FireError(DCAuthErrorEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
The event is fired if an error occurs during the request processing. Use the ErrorCode and Description parameters to get the details.
ExternalSign Event (DCAuth Class)
Handles remote or external signing initiated by the SignExternal method or other source.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireExternalSign(DCAuthExternalSignEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *OperationId;
const char *HashAlgorithm;
const char *Pars;
const char *MethodPars;
const char *Data;

LPCWSTR Pars;
LPCWSTR MethodPars;
LPCWSTR Data;
LPWSTR SignedData; INT reserved; } DCAuthExternalSignEventParams;
#define EID_DCAUTH_EXTERNALSIGN 3 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireExternalSign(LPSTR &lpszOperationId, LPSTR &lpszHashAlgorithm, LPSTR &lpszPars, LPSTR &lpszMethodPars, LPSTR &lpszData, LPSTR &lpszSignedData);
class DCAuthExternalSignEventParams { public: const QString &OperationId(); const QString &HashAlgorithm(); const QString &Pars(); const QString &MethodPars(); 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(DCAuthExternalSignEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DCAuth and override this emitter function. virtual int FireExternalSign(DCAuthExternalSignEventParams *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();
};
The MethodPars parameter contains the method-specific parameters. For example, for PKCS7 requests it contains the requested parameters of the PKCS7 blob.
KeySecretNeeded Event (DCAuth Class)
Requests the key secret from the application.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireKeySecretNeeded(DCAuthKeySecretNeededEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *KeyId;
char *KeySecret; int reserved; } DCAuthKeySecretNeededEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireKeySecretNeeded(DCAuthKeySecretNeededEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR KeyId;
LPWSTR KeySecret; INT reserved; } DCAuthKeySecretNeededEventParams;
#define EID_DCAUTH_KEYSECRETNEEDED 4 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireKeySecretNeeded(LPSTR &lpszKeyId, LPSTR &lpszKeySecret);
class DCAuthKeySecretNeededEventParams { public: const QString &KeyId(); const QString &KeySecret(); void SetKeySecret(const QString &qsKeySecret); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void KeySecretNeeded(DCAuthKeySecretNeededEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DCAuth and override this emitter function. virtual int FireKeySecretNeeded(DCAuthKeySecretNeededEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
Subscribe to this event to pass the key secret (a pre-shared request authentication code) to the signing component when it is needed. The authentication combination consists of the KeyId, a non-secret unique key identifier, and the KeySecret, shared by the parties, which should be kept private. This event is an alternative for KeySecret property. Use it when you expect to process requests from requestors with different KeyIds and secrets. If you only expect to receive requests from a single requestor with a known KeyId, providing the key secret via KeyId and KeySecret properties would be an easier route.
Notification Event (DCAuth Class)
This event notifies the application about an underlying control flow event.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireNotification(DCAuthNotificationEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *EventID;
const char *EventParam; int reserved; } DCAuthNotificationEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireNotification(DCAuthNotificationEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR EventID;
LPCWSTR EventParam; INT reserved; } DCAuthNotificationEventParams;
#define EID_DCAUTH_NOTIFICATION 5 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireNotification(LPSTR &lpszEventID, LPSTR &lpszEventParam);
class DCAuthNotificationEventParams { 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(DCAuthNotificationEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DCAuth and override this emitter function. virtual int FireNotification(DCAuthNotificationEventParams *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:
BeforeTimestamp | This event is fired before a timestamp is requested from the timestamping authority. Use the event handler to modify TSA and HTTP settings. |
TimestampError | This event is only fired if the class failed to obtain a timestamp from the timestamping authority. The EventParam parameter contains extended error info. |
ParameterReceived Event (DCAuth Class)
Passes a standard request parameter to the user code.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireParameterReceived(DCAuthParameterReceivedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *Name;
const char *Value; int reserved; } DCAuthParameterReceivedEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireParameterReceived(DCAuthParameterReceivedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR Name;
LPCWSTR Value; INT reserved; } DCAuthParameterReceivedEventParams;
#define EID_DCAUTH_PARAMETERRECEIVED 6 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireParameterReceived(LPSTR &lpszName, LPSTR &lpszValue);
class DCAuthParameterReceivedEventParams { public: const QString &Name(); const QString &Value(); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void ParameterReceived(DCAuthParameterReceivedEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DCAuth and override this emitter function. virtual int FireParameterReceived(DCAuthParameterReceivedEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
This event is only provided for backward compatibility and is not currently used.
SignRequest Event (DCAuth Class)
This event signifies the processing of an atomic signing request.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireSignRequest(DCAuthSignRequestEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int Method;
const char *HashAlgorithm;
const char *Hash; int lenHash;
const char *KeyID;
const char *Pars;
const char *MethodPars;

Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireSignRequest(DCAuthSignRequestEventParams *e);
typedef struct {

LPCWSTR KeyID;
LPCWSTR Pars;
LPCWSTR MethodPars;
BOOL Allow; INT reserved; } DCAuthSignRequestEventParams;
#define EID_DCAUTH_SIGNREQUEST 7 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireSignRequest(INT &iMethod, LPSTR &lpszHashAlgorithm, LPSTR &lpHash, INT &lenHash, LPSTR &lpszKeyID, LPSTR &lpszPars, LPSTR &lpszMethodPars, BOOL &bAllow);
class DCAuthSignRequestEventParams { public: int Method(); const QString &HashAlgorithm(); const QByteArray &Hash(); const QString &KeyID(); const QString &Pars(); const QString &MethodPars(); bool Allow(); void SetAllow(bool bAllow); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void SignRequest(DCAuthSignRequestEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DCAuth and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSignRequest(DCAuthSignRequestEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
Subscribe to this event to be notified of every signature request processed by the DC server. Note that any one request coming from the requestor may contain multiple individual signature requests (so-called 'batching'). This event is a good mechanism to track signature requests for accountability purposes, and provide basic access control over the signing operations. The Method parameter specifies the async signing method requested by the client:
asmdPKCS1 | 0 |
asmdPKCS7 | 1 |
The Hash parameter contains the hash, made using HashAlgorithm, that needs to be signed. KeyID contains the key identifier of the requestor.
The Pars string contains a semicolon-separated string of the principal signature parameters. This has the same format and content that is passed to ExternalSign, if it is used. The MethodPars contains a similar parameter string, but for the specific async signing method used. For the PKCS1 method there are no defined method parameters, while the PKCS7 method supports a selection of settings that tune up the CMS blob.
Set Allow to false to stop the request from being served. Use the SignRequestCompleted event to track completion of the initiated operation.
SignRequestCompleted Event (DCAuth Class)
This event signifies completion of the processing of an atomic signing request.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireSignRequestCompleted(DCAuthSignRequestCompletedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int Method;

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void SignRequestCompleted(DCAuthSignRequestCompletedEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DCAuth and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSignRequestCompleted(DCAuthSignRequestCompletedEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
Use this event to track completion of signing request processing. The Hash parameter contains the hash that is signed, as supplied by the requestor, and the Signature parameter contains the resulting cryptographic signature. The KeyID parameter matches the parameter in SignRequest event.
TimestampRequest Event (DCAuth Class)
Fires when the class is ready to request a timestamp from an external TSA.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireTimestampRequest(DCAuthTimestampRequestEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *TSA;
const char *TimestampRequest;
char *TimestampResponse;
int SuppressDefault; int reserved; } DCAuthTimestampRequestEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTimestampRequest(DCAuthTimestampRequestEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR TSA;
LPCWSTR TimestampRequest;
LPWSTR TimestampResponse;
BOOL SuppressDefault; INT reserved; } DCAuthTimestampRequestEventParams;
#define EID_DCAUTH_TIMESTAMPREQUEST 9 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireTimestampRequest(LPSTR &lpszTSA, LPSTR &lpszTimestampRequest, LPSTR &lpszTimestampResponse, BOOL &bSuppressDefault);
class DCAuthTimestampRequestEventParams { 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(DCAuthTimestampRequestEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DCAuth and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTimestampRequest(DCAuthTimestampRequestEventParams *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 (DCAuth Class)
Fires when a remote TLS party requests a client certificate.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireTLSCertNeeded(DCAuthTLSCertNeededEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *Host;
const char *CANames; int reserved; } DCAuthTLSCertNeededEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTLSCertNeeded(DCAuthTLSCertNeededEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR Host;
LPCWSTR CANames; INT reserved; } DCAuthTLSCertNeededEventParams;
#define EID_DCAUTH_TLSCERTNEEDED 10 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireTLSCertNeeded(LPSTR &lpszHost, LPSTR &lpszCANames);
class DCAuthTLSCertNeededEventParams { public: const QString &Host(); const QString &CANames(); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void TLSCertNeeded(DCAuthTLSCertNeededEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DCAuth and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTLSCertNeeded(DCAuthTLSCertNeededEventParams *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 (DCAuth 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(DCAuthTLSCertValidateEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *ServerHost;
const char *ServerIP;
int Accept; int reserved; } DCAuthTLSCertValidateEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTLSCertValidate(DCAuthTLSCertValidateEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR ServerHost;
LPCWSTR ServerIP;
BOOL Accept; INT reserved; } DCAuthTLSCertValidateEventParams;
#define EID_DCAUTH_TLSCERTVALIDATE 11 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireTLSCertValidate(LPSTR &lpszServerHost, LPSTR &lpszServerIP, BOOL &bAccept);
class DCAuthTLSCertValidateEventParams { public: const QString &ServerHost(); const QString &ServerIP(); bool Accept(); void SetAccept(bool bAccept); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void TLSCertValidate(DCAuthTLSCertValidateEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DCAuth and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTLSCertValidate(DCAuthTLSCertValidateEventParams *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 (DCAuth Class)
Fires when a TLS handshake with Host successfully completes.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireTLSEstablished(DCAuthTLSEstablishedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *Host;
const char *Version;
const char *Ciphersuite;
const char *ConnectionId; int lenConnectionId;
int Abort; int reserved; } DCAuthTLSEstablishedEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTLSEstablished(DCAuthTLSEstablishedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR Host;
LPCWSTR Version;
LPCWSTR Ciphersuite;
LPCSTR ConnectionId; INT lenConnectionId;
BOOL Abort; INT reserved; } DCAuthTLSEstablishedEventParams;
#define EID_DCAUTH_TLSESTABLISHED 12 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireTLSEstablished(LPSTR &lpszHost, LPSTR &lpszVersion, LPSTR &lpszCiphersuite, LPSTR &lpConnectionId, INT &lenConnectionId, BOOL &bAbort);
class DCAuthTLSEstablishedEventParams { public: const QString &Host(); const QString &Version(); const QString &Ciphersuite(); const QByteArray &ConnectionId(); bool Abort(); void SetAbort(bool bAbort); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void TLSEstablished(DCAuthTLSEstablishedEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DCAuth and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTLSEstablished(DCAuthTLSEstablishedEventParams *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 (DCAuth Class)
Fires when a new TLS handshake is initiated, before the handshake commences.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireTLSHandshake(DCAuthTLSHandshakeEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *Host;
int Abort; int reserved; } DCAuthTLSHandshakeEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTLSHandshake(DCAuthTLSHandshakeEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR Host;
BOOL Abort; INT reserved; } DCAuthTLSHandshakeEventParams;
#define EID_DCAUTH_TLSHANDSHAKE 13 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireTLSHandshake(LPSTR &lpszHost, BOOL &bAbort);
class DCAuthTLSHandshakeEventParams { 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(DCAuthTLSHandshakeEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DCAuth and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTLSHandshake(DCAuthTLSHandshakeEventParams *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 (DCAuth Class)
Reports the graceful closure of a TLS connection.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireTLSShutdown(DCAuthTLSShutdownEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *Host; int reserved; } DCAuthTLSShutdownEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTLSShutdown(DCAuthTLSShutdownEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR Host; INT reserved; } DCAuthTLSShutdownEventParams;
#define EID_DCAUTH_TLSSHUTDOWN 14 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireTLSShutdown(LPSTR &lpszHost);
class DCAuthTLSShutdownEventParams { public: const QString &Host(); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void TLSShutdown(DCAuthTLSShutdownEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DCAuth and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTLSShutdown(DCAuthTLSShutdownEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
This event notifies the application about the closure of an earlier established TLS connection. Note that only graceful connection closures are reported.
Certificate Type
Encapsulates an individual X.509 certificate.
Syntax
SecureBlackboxCertificate (declared in secureblackbox.h)
Remarks
This type keeps and provides access to X.509 certificate details.
Fields
Bytes
char* (read-only)
Default Value:
Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.
CA
int
Default Value: FALSE
Indicates whether the certificate has a CA capability. For the certificate to be considered a CA, it must have its Basic Constraints extension set with the CA indicator enabled.
Set this field when generating a new certificate to have its Basic Constraints extension generated automatically.
CAKeyID
char* (read-only)
Default Value:
A unique identifier (fingerprint) of the CA certificate's cryptographic key.
Authority Key Identifier is a certificate extension which allows identification of certificates belonging to the same issuer, but with different public keys. It is a de-facto standard to include this extension in all certificates to facilitate chain building.
This setting cannot be set when generating a certificate as it always derives from another certificate property. CertificateManager generates this setting automatically if enough information is available to it: for self-signed certificates, this value is copied from the SubjectKeyID setting, and for lower-level certificates, from the parent certificate's subject key ID extension.
CertType
int (read-only)
Default Value: 0
Returns the type of the entity contained in the Certificate object.
A Certificate object can contain two types of cryptographic objects: a ready-to-use X.509 certificate, or a certificate request ("an unsigned certificate"). Certificate requests can be upgraded to full certificates by signing them with a CA certificate.
Use the CertificateManager class to load or create new certificate and certificate requests objects.
CRLDistributionPoints
char*
Default Value: ""
Contains a list of locations of CRL distribution points used to check this certificate's validity. The list is taken from the respective certificate extension.
Use this field when generating a certificate to provide a list of CRL endpoints that should be made part of the new certificate.
The endpoints are provided as a list of CRLF-separated URLs. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the location separator.
Curve
char*
Default Value: ""
Specifies the elliptic curve associated with the certificate's public key. This setting only applies to certificates containing EC keys.

Fingerprint
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""
Contains the fingerprint (a hash imprint) of this certificate.
While there is no formal standard defining what a fingerprint is, a SHA1 hash of the certificate's DER-encoded body is typically used.
FriendlyName
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""
Contains an associated alias (friendly name) of the certificate. The friendly name is not a property of a certificate: it is maintained by the certificate media rather than being included in its DER representation. Windows certificate stores are one example of media that does support friendly names.
Handle
int64
Default Value: 0
Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object. Use this property to assign objects of the same type in a quicker manner, without copying them fieldwise.
When you pass a handle of one object to another, the source object is copied to the destination rather than assigned. It is safe to get rid of the original object
after such operation.
pdfSigner.setSigningCertHandle(certMgr.getCertHandle());
HashAlgorithm
char*
Default Value: ""
Provides means to set the hash algorithm to be used in the subsequent operation on the certificate (such as generation or key signing). It is not a property of a certificate; use SigAlgorithm to find out the hash algorithm that is part of the certificate signature.

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

Use the KeyBits, Curve, and PublicKeyBytes fields to get more details about the key the certificate contains.
KeyBits
int (read-only)
Default Value: 0
Returns the length of the public key in bits.
This value indicates the length of the principal cryptographic parameter of the key, such as the length of the RSA modulus or ECDSA field. The key data returned by the PublicKeyBytes or PrivateKeyBytes field would typically contain auxiliary values, and therefore be longer.
KeyFingerprint
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""
Returns a SHA1 fingerprint of the public key contained in the certificate.
Note that the key fingerprint is different from the certificate fingerprint accessible via the Fingerprint field. The key fingeprint uniquely identifies the public key, and so can be the same for multiple certificates containing the same key.
KeyUsage
int
Default Value: 0
Indicates the purposes of the key contained in the certificate, in the form of an OR'ed flag set.
This value is a bit mask of the following values:
ckuUnknown | 0x00000 | Unknown key usage |
ckuDigitalSignature | 0x00001 | Digital signature |
ckuNonRepudiation | 0x00002 | Non-repudiation |
ckuKeyEncipherment | 0x00004 | Key encipherment |
ckuDataEncipherment | 0x00008 | Data encipherment |
ckuKeyAgreement | 0x00010 | Key agreement |
ckuKeyCertSign | 0x00020 | Certificate signing |
ckuCRLSign | 0x00040 | Revocation signing |
ckuEncipherOnly | 0x00080 | Encipher only |
ckuDecipherOnly | 0x00100 | Decipher only |
ckuServerAuthentication | 0x00200 | Server authentication |
ckuClientAuthentication | 0x00400 | Client authentication |
ckuCodeSigning | 0x00800 | Code signing |
ckuEmailProtection | 0x01000 | Email protection |
ckuTimeStamping | 0x02000 | Timestamping |
ckuOCSPSigning | 0x04000 | OCSP signing |
ckuSmartCardLogon | 0x08000 | Smartcard logon |
ckuKeyPurposeClientAuth | 0x10000 | Kerberos - client authentication |
ckuKeyPurposeKDC | 0x20000 | Kerberos - KDC |
Set this field before generating the certificate to propagate the key usage flags to the new certificate.
KeyValid
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE
Returns True if the certificate's key is cryptographically valid, and False otherwise.
OCSPLocations
char*
Default Value: ""
Locations of OCSP services that can be used to check this certificate's validity in real time, as recorded by the CA.
Set this field before calling the certificate manager's Generate method to propagate it to the new certificate.
The OCSP locations are provided as a list of CRLF-separated URLs. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the location separator.
OCSPNoCheck
int
Default Value: FALSE
Accessor to the value of the certificate's ocsp-no-check extension.
Origin
int (read-only)
Default Value: 0
Returns the location that the certificate was taken or loaded from.
PolicyIDs
char*
Default Value: ""
Contains identifiers (OIDs) of the applicable certificate policies.
The Certificate Policies extension identifies a sequence of policies under which the certificate has been issued, and which regulate its usage.
Set this field when generating a certificate to propagate the policies information to the new certificate.
The policies are provided as a list of CRLF-separated entries. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the policy element separator.
PrivateKeyBytes
char* (read-only)
Default Value:
Returns the certificate's private key in DER-encoded format. It is normal for this field to be empty if the private key is non-exportable, which, for example, is typical for certificates originating from hardware security devices.
PrivateKeyExists
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE
Indicates whether the certificate has a usable private key associated with it. If it is set to True, the certificate can be used for private key operations, such as signing or decryption.
This field is independent from PrivateKeyBytes, and can be set to True even if the former is empty. This would imply that the private key is non-exportable, but still can be used for cryptographic operations.
PrivateKeyExtractable
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE
Indicates whether the private key is extractable (exportable).
PublicKeyBytes
char* (read-only)
Default Value:
Contains the certificate's public key in DER format.
This typically would contain an ASN.1-encoded public key value. The exact format depends on the type of the public key contained in the certificate.
Qualified
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE
Indicates whether the certificate is qualified.
This property is set to True if the certificate is confirmed by a Trusted List to be qualified.
QualifiedStatements
int
Default Value: 0
Returns a simplified qualified status of the certificate.
Qualifiers
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""
A list of qualifiers.
Contains a comma-separated list of qualifier aliases for the certificate, for example QCP-n-qscd,QCWithSSCD.
SelfSigned
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE
Indicates whether the certificate is self-signed (root) or signed by an external CA.
SerialNumber
char*
Default Value:
Returns the certificate's serial number.
The serial number is a binary string that uniquely identifies a certificate among others issued by the same CA. According to the X.509 standard, the (issuer, serial number) pair should be globally unique to facilitate chain building.
SigAlgorithm
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""
Indicates the algorithm that was used by the CA to sign this certificate.
A signature algorithm typically combines hash and public key algorithms together, such as sha256WithRSAEncryption or ecdsa-with-SHA256.
Source
int (read-only)
Default Value: 0
Returns the source (location or disposition) of a cryptographic primitive entity, such as a certificate, CRL, or OCSP response.
Subject
char* (read-only)
Default Value: ""
The common name of the certificate holder, typically an individual's name, a URL, an e-mail address, or a company name. This is part of a larger set of credentials available via SubjectRDN.
SubjectAlternativeName
char*
Default Value: ""
Returns or sets the value of the Subject Alternative Name extension of the certificate.
Subject alternative names are used to provide additional names that are impractical to store in the main SubjectRDN field. For example, it is often used to store all the domain names that a TLS certificate is authorized to protect.
The alternative names are provided as a list of CRLF-separated entries. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the element separator.
SubjectKeyID
char*
Default Value:
Contains a unique identifier of the certificate's cryptographic key.
Subject Key Identifier is a certificate extension which allows a specific public key to be associated with a certificate holder. Typically, subject key identifiers of CA certificates are recorded as respective CA key identifiers in the subordinate certificates that they issue, which facilitates chain building.
The SubjectKeyID and CAKeyID fields of self-signed certificates typically contain identical values, as in that specific case, the issuer and the subject are the same entity.
SubjectRDN
char*
Default Value: ""
A list of Property=Value pairs that uniquely identify the certificate holder (subject).
Depending on the purpose of the certificate and the policies of the CA that issued it, the values included in the subject record may differ drastically and contain business or personal names, web URLs, email addresses, and other data.
Example: /C=US/O=Oranges and Apples, Inc./OU=Accounts Receivable/1.2.3.4.5=Value with unknown OID/CN=Margaret Watkins.
Valid
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE
Indicates whether or not the signature over the certificate or the request is valid and matches the public key contained in the CA certificate/request.
ValidFrom
char*
Default Value: ""
The time point at which the certificate becomes valid, in UTC.
ValidTo
char*
Default Value: ""
The time point at which the certificate expires, in UTC.
Constructors
Certificate()
Creates a new object with default field values.
ExternalCrypto Type
Specifies the parameters of external cryptographic calls.
Syntax
SecureBlackboxExternalCrypto (declared in secureblackbox.h)
Remarks
External cryptocalls are used in a Distributed Cryptography (DC) subsystem, which allows the delegation of security operations to the remote agent. For instance, it can be used to compute the signature value on the server, while retaining the client's private key locally.
Fields
AsyncDocumentID
char*
Default Value: ""
Specifies an optional document ID for SignAsyncBegin() and SignAsyncEnd() calls.
Use this property when working with multi-signature DCAuth requests and responses to uniquely identify documents signed within a larger batch. On the completion stage, this value helps the signing component identify the correct signature in the returned batch of responses.
If using batched requests, make sure to set this property to the same value on both the pre-signing (SignAsyncBegin) and completion (SignAsyncEnd) stages.
CustomParams
char*
Default Value: ""
Custom parameters to be passed to the signing service (uninterpreted).
Data
char*
Default Value: ""
Additional data to be included in the async state and mirrored back by the requestor.
ExternalHashCalculation
int
Default Value: FALSE
Specifies whether the message hash is to be calculated at the external endpoint. Please note that this mode is not supported by the DCAuth class.
If set to true, the class will pass a few kilobytes of to-be-signed data from the document to the OnExternalSign event. This only applies when SignExternal() is called.
HashAlgorithm
char*
Default Value: "SHA256"
Specifies the request's signature hash algorithm.

KeyID
char*
Default Value: ""
The ID of the pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.
Asynchronous DCAuth-driven communication requires that parties authenticate each other with a secret pre-shared cryptographic key. This provides an extra protection layer for the protocol and diminishes the risk of the private key becoming abused by foreign parties. Use this property to provide the pre-shared key identifier, and use KeySecret to pass the key itself.
The same KeyID/KeySecret pair should be used on the DCAuth side for the signing requests to be accepted.
Note: The KeyID/KeySecret scheme is very similar to the AuthKey scheme used in various Cloud service providers to authenticate users.
Example:
signer.ExternalCrypto.KeyID = "MainSigningKey";
signer.ExternalCrypto.KeySecret = "abcdef0123456789";
KeySecret
char*
Default Value: ""
The pre-shared key used for DC request authentication. This key must be set and match the key used by the DCAuth counterpart for the scheme to work.
Read more about configuring authentication in the KeyID topic.
Method
int
Default Value: 0
Specifies the asynchronous signing method. This is typically defined by the DC server capabilities and setup.
Available options:
asmdPKCS1 | 0 |
asmdPKCS7 | 1 |
Mode
int
Default Value: 0
Specifies the external cryptography mode.
Available options:
ecmDefault | The default value (0) |
ecmDisabled | Do not use DC or external signing (1) |
ecmGeneric | Generic external signing with the OnExternalSign event (2) |
ecmDCAuth | DCAuth signing (3) |
ecmDCAuthJSON | DCAuth signing in JSON format (4) |
PublicKeyAlgorithm
char*
Default Value: ""
Provide the public key algorithm here if the certificate is not available on the pre-signing stage.

int
Default Value: 2
Selects the renegotiation attack prevention mechanism.
The following options are available:
crapmCompatible | 0 | TLS 1.0 and 1.1 compatibility mode (renegotiation indication extension is disabled). |
crapmStrict | 1 | Renegotiation attack prevention is enabled and enforced. |
crapmAuto | 2 | Automatically 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.
crcNone | 0 | No revocation checking. |
crcAuto | 1 | Automatic mode selection. Currently this maps to crcAnyOCSPOrCRL, but it may change in the future. |
crcAllCRL | 2 | All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed. |
crcAllOCSP | 3 | All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed. |
crcAllCRLAndOCSP | 4 | All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed. |
crcAnyCRL | 5 | All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. |
crcAnyOCSP | 6 | All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. |
crcAnyCRLOrOCSP | 7 | All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. CRL endpoints are checked first. |
crcAnyOCSPOrCRL | 8 | All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. OCSP endpoints are checked first. |
This setting controls the way the revocation checks are performed for every certificate in the chain. Typically certificates come with two types of revocation information sources: CRL (certificate revocation lists) and OCSP responders. CRLs are static objects periodically published by the CA at some online location. OCSP responders are active online services maintained by the CA that can provide up-to-date information on certificate statuses in near real time.
There are some conceptual differences between the two. CRLs are normally larger in size. Their use involves some latency because there is normally some delay between the time when a certificate was revoked and the time the subsequent CRL mentioning that is published. The benefits of CRL is that the same object can provide statuses for all certificates issued by a particular CA, and that the whole technology is much simpler than OCSP (and thus is supported by more CAs).
This setting lets you adjust the validation course by including or excluding certain types of revocation sources from the validation process. The crcAnyOCSPOrCRL setting (give preference to the faster OCSP route and only demand one source to succeed) is a good choice for most typical validation environments. The "crcAll*" modes are much stricter, and may be used in scenarios where bulletproof validity information is essential.
Note: If no CRL or OCSP endpoints are provided by the CA, the revocation check will be considered successful. This is because the CA chose not to supply revocation information for its certificates, meaning they are considered irrevocable.
Note: Within each of the above settings, if any retrieved CRL or OCSP response indicates that the certificate has been revoked, the revocation check fails.

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 DCAuth 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 (DCAuth 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.DCAuth Config Settings
This setting is used to provide parameters for some cryptographic schemes. Use the Name1=Value1;Name2=Value2;... syntax to encode the parameters. For example: Scheme=PSS;SaltSize=32;TrailerField=1.
In case of a timestamping failure, provide new TSA and HTTP settings inside the Notification event handler ('BeforeTimestamp' and 'TimestampError' event IDs).
Note: Unlike other classs, PDFSigner class uses the same hash algorithm for the main signature and any associated timestamps during signing. Use this property to specify a different hash algorithm for the timestamp.
