DCAuthWebServer Class

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The DCAuthWebServer Class offers higher-level access to 'private key side' functionality of SecureBlackbox DC protocol.

Syntax

DCAuthWebServer

Remarks

DCAuthWebServer provides a built-in REST responder for DC requests. Use it in conjunction with the in-browser Javascript that comes with DC package, or with standalone DC requestors. DCAuthWebServer listens to DC requests on a specific Port or a port chosen between PortRangeFrom and PortRangeTo. Use DCAuth, which provides a lower-level access to the signing engine, to implement DC in applications, apps, or services.

0

Remarks

This property lets you specify policies to apply blanketly to the requests. If this property does not give you enough flexibility - for example, if you need to cherry-pick requests basing on their content - please consider using the SignRequest (allows you to track individual requests) and/or ExternalSign (lets you perform the signing manually) events. This setting is a bit mask of the following flags:

aspAcceptUnsignedRequests1Allows the component to accept unauthenticated messages (those not signed with KeyID/KeySecret). Use with extreme care.

aspIgnorePKCS1Requests2Ignore requests of PKCS1 type.

aspIgnorePKCS7Requests4Ignore requests of PKCS7 type.

aspIgnoreRequestTSA8Ignore the TSA URL provided in the request, and either stick with the service provided via TimestampServer property, or not timestamp the message altogether.

aspIgnoreRequestSigningTime16Ignore the signing time included in the request.

aspIgnoreRequestPKCS7Settings32Ignore auxiliary PKCS7 settings (content type, attributes) included in the request.

aspAlwaysTimestampSigs64Timestamp created signatures (PKCS7 only), even if the client did not request it.

This property is not available at design time.

Example 1: The certificate resides on a PKCS#11 device

pkcs11://user:pin@/c:/windows/system32/pkcsdriver.dll?slot=0&amp;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&amp;readonly=1&amp;fingerprint=001122334455667788aabbccddeeff0011223344

TimestampServer Property (DCAuthWebServer 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_dcauthwebserver_gettimestampserver(void* lpObj);
int secureblackbox_dcauthwebserver_settimestampserver(void* lpObj, const char* lpszTimestampServer);
QString GetTimestampServer();
int SetTimestampServer(QString qsTimestampServer);

Default Value

""

Remarks

Use this property to provide the address of the Time Stamping Authority (TSA) server to be used for timestamping the signature.

SecureBlackbox supports RFC3161-compliant timestamping servers, available via HTTP or HTTPS.

If your timestamping service enforces credential-based user authentication (basic or digest), you can provide the credentials in the same URL:

http://user:password@timestamp.server.com/TsaService

For TSAs using certificate-based TLS authentication, provide the client certificate via the TLSClientChain property.

If this property is left empty, no timestamp will be added to the signature.

Starting from summer 2021 update (Vol. 2), the virtual timestamping service is supported, which allows you to intervene in the timestamping routine and provide your own handling for the TSA exchange. This may be handy if the service that you are requesting timestamps from uses a non-standard TSP protocol or requires special authentication option.

To employ the virtual service, assign an URI of the following format to this property:

virtual://localhost?hashonly=true&amp;includecerts=true&amp;reqpolicy=1.2.3.4.5&amp;halg=SHA256&amp;ignorenonce=true

Subscribe to Notification event to get notified about the virtualized timestamping event. The EventID of the timestamping event is TimestampRequest. Inside the event handler, read the base16-encoded request from the EventParam parameter and forward it to the timestamping authority. Upon receiving the response, pass it back to the component, encoded in base16, via the TimestampResponse config property:

component.Config("TimestampResponse=308208ab...");

Note that all the exchange with your custom TSA should take place within the same invocation of the Notification event.

The hashonly parameter of the virtual URI tells the component to only return the timestamp message imprint via the EventParam parameter. If set to false, EventParam will contain the complete RFC3161 timestamping request.

The includecerts parameter specifies that the requestCertificates parameter of the timestamping request should be set to true.

The reqpolicy parameter lets you specify the request policy, and the halg parameter specifies the hash algorithm to use for timestamping.

The ignorenonce parameter allows you to switch off client nonce verification to enable compatibility with TSA services that do not support nonce mirroring.

All the parameters are optional.

Data Type

String

TLSServerChain Property (DCAuthWebServer Class)

The server's TLS certificates.

Syntax

SecureBlackboxList<SecureBlackboxCertificate>* GetTLSServerChain();
int SetTLSServerChain(SecureBlackboxList<SecureBlackboxCertificate>* val);

int SetTLSServerCertHandle(int iTLSServerCertIndex, qint64 lTLSServerCertHandle);

Remarks

Use this property to provide a list of TLS certificates for the server endpoint.

A TLS endpoint needs a certificate to be able to accept TLS connections. At least one of the certificates in the collection - the endpoint certificate - must have a private key associated with it.

The collection may include more than one endpoint certificate, and more than one chain. A typical usage scenario is to include two chains (ECDSA and RSA), to cater for clients with different cipher suite preferences.

This property is not available at design time.

Cleanup Method (DCAuthWebServer Class)

Cleans up the server environment by purging expired sessions and cleaning caches.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Cleanup();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Cleanup();
int secureblackbox_dcauthwebserver_cleanup(void* lpObj);
int Cleanup();

Remarks

Call this method while the server is active to clean up the environment allocated for the server by releasing unused resources and cleaning caches.

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.)

Config Method (DCAuthWebServer Class)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR Config(LPCWSTR lpszConfigurationString);
char* secureblackbox_dcauthwebserver_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 (DCAuthWebServer Class)

ExternalSign Event (DCAuthWebServer Class)

Handles remote or external signing initiated by the server protocol.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireExternalSign(DCAuthWebServerExternalSignEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int64 ConnectionID;
const char *OperationId;
const char *HashAlgorithm;
const char *Pars;
const char *Data;

LPWSTR SignedData; INT reserved; } DCAuthWebServerExternalSignEventParams;
#define EID_DCAUTHWEBSERVER_EXTERNALSIGN 7

virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireExternalSign(LONG64 &lConnectionID, LPSTR &lpszOperationId, LPSTR &lpszHashAlgorithm, LPSTR &lpszPars, LPSTR &lpszData, LPSTR &lpszSignedData);
class DCAuthWebServerExternalSignEventParams {
public:
  qint64 ConnectionID();

  const QString &OperationId();

  const QString &HashAlgorithm();

  const QString &Pars();

  const QString &Data();

  const QString &SignedData();
  void SetSignedData(const QString &qsSignedData);

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void ExternalSign(DCAuthWebServerExternalSignEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DCAuthWebServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireExternalSign(DCAuthWebServerExternalSignEventParams *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(); };

KeySecretNeeded Event (DCAuthWebServer Class)

Requests the key secret from the application.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireKeySecretNeeded(DCAuthWebServerKeySecretNeededEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int64 ConnectionId;
const char *KeyId;
char *KeySecret; int reserved; } DCAuthWebServerKeySecretNeededEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireKeySecretNeeded(DCAuthWebServerKeySecretNeededEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LONG64 ConnectionId;
LPCWSTR KeyId;
LPWSTR KeySecret; INT reserved; } DCAuthWebServerKeySecretNeededEventParams;
#define EID_DCAUTHWEBSERVER_KEYSECRETNEEDED 8

virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireKeySecretNeeded(LONG64 &lConnectionId, LPSTR &lpszKeyId, LPSTR &lpszKeySecret);
class DCAuthWebServerKeySecretNeededEventParams {
public:
  qint64 ConnectionId();

  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(DCAuthWebServerKeySecretNeededEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DCAuthWebServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireKeySecretNeeded(DCAuthWebServerKeySecretNeededEventParams *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.

Log Event (DCAuthWebServer Class)

  • SessionID
  • DataURL
  • GoURL
  • Token
  • PKCS11Libraries
  • AllowFileStorage
  • AllowTokenStorage
  • AllowWindowsStorage
  • AllowOSStorage
Parameters are reported one-by-one upon being processed.

PasswordNeeded Event (DCAuthWebServer Class)

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FirePasswordNeeded(DCAuthWebServerPasswordNeededEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *NeededFor;
const char *Id;
char *Password;
int Cancel; int reserved; } DCAuthWebServerPasswordNeededEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FirePasswordNeeded(DCAuthWebServerPasswordNeededEventParams *e);

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void SignRequest(DCAuthWebServerSignRequestEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DCAuthWebServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSignRequest(DCAuthWebServerSignRequestEventParams *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:

asmdPKCS10
asmdPKCS71

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 reject the request. Use the SignRequestCompleted event to track completion of the initiated operation.

  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(DCAuthWebServerTimestampRequestEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DCAuthWebServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTimestampRequest(DCAuthWebServerTimestampRequestEventParams *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.

TLSCertValidate Event (DCAuthWebServer Class)

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void TLSEstablished(DCAuthWebServerTLSEstablishedEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DCAuthWebServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTLSEstablished(DCAuthWebServerTLSEstablishedEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

Subscribe to this event to be notified about the setup of a TLS connection by a connected client.

TLSHandshake Event (DCAuthWebServer Class)

Fires when a newly established client connection initiates a TLS handshake.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireTLSHandshake(DCAuthWebServerTLSHandshakeEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int64 ConnectionID;
const char *ServerName;
int Abort; int reserved; } DCAuthWebServerTLSHandshakeEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTLSHandshake(DCAuthWebServerTLSHandshakeEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LONG64 ConnectionID;
LPCWSTR ServerName;
BOOL Abort; INT reserved; } DCAuthWebServerTLSHandshakeEventParams;
#define EID_DCAUTHWEBSERVER_TLSHANDSHAKE 20

virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireTLSHandshake(LONG64 &lConnectionID, LPSTR &lpszServerName, BOOL &bAbort);
class DCAuthWebServerTLSHandshakeEventParams {
public:
  qint64 ConnectionID();

  const QString &ServerName();

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void TLSHandshake(DCAuthWebServerTLSHandshakeEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DCAuthWebServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTLSHandshake(DCAuthWebServerTLSHandshakeEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

Use this event to get notified about the initiation of the TLS handshake by the remote client. The ServerName parameter specifies the requested host from the client hello message.

TLSPSK Event (DCAuthWebServer Class)

Requests a pre-shared key for TLS-PSK.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireTLSPSK(DCAuthWebServerTLSPSKEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int64 ConnectionID;
const char *Identity;
char *PSK;
char *Ciphersuite; int reserved; } DCAuthWebServerTLSPSKEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTLSPSK(DCAuthWebServerTLSPSKEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LONG64 ConnectionID;
LPCWSTR Identity;
LPWSTR PSK;
LPWSTR Ciphersuite; INT reserved; } DCAuthWebServerTLSPSKEventParams;
#define EID_DCAUTHWEBSERVER_TLSPSK 21

virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireTLSPSK(LONG64 &lConnectionID, LPSTR &lpszIdentity, LPSTR &lpszPSK, LPSTR &lpszCiphersuite);
class DCAuthWebServerTLSPSKEventParams {
public:
  qint64 ConnectionID();

  const QString &Identity();

  const QString &PSK();
  void SetPSK(const QString &qsPSK);

  const QString &Ciphersuite();
  void SetCiphersuite(const QString &qsCiphersuite);

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void TLSPSK(DCAuthWebServerTLSPSKEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DCAuthWebServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTLSPSK(DCAuthWebServerTLSPSKEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

The class fires this event to report that a client has requested a TLS-PSK negotiation. ConnectionId indicates the unique connection ID that requested the PSK handshake.

Use Identity to look up for the corresponding pre-shared key in the server's database, then assign the key to the PSK parameter. If TLS 1.3 PSK is used, you will also need to assign the Ciphersuite parameter with the cipher suite associated with that identity and their key.

TLSShutdown Event (DCAuthWebServer Class)

Reports closure of a TLS session.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireTLSShutdown(DCAuthWebServerTLSShutdownEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int64 ConnectionID; int reserved; } DCAuthWebServerTLSShutdownEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTLSShutdown(DCAuthWebServerTLSShutdownEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LONG64 ConnectionID; INT reserved; } DCAuthWebServerTLSShutdownEventParams;
#define EID_DCAUTHWEBSERVER_TLSSHUTDOWN 22

virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireTLSShutdown(LONG64 &lConnectionID);
class DCAuthWebServerTLSShutdownEventParams {
public:
  qint64 ConnectionID();

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void TLSShutdown(DCAuthWebServerTLSShutdownEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DCAuthWebServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTLSShutdown(DCAuthWebServerTLSShutdownEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

The class fires this event when a connected client closes their TLS session gracefully. This event is typically followed by a Disconnect, which marks the closure of the underlying TCP session.

WriteOption Event (DCAuthWebServer Class)

Fires when the client sends in a write option request.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireWriteOption(DCAuthWebServerWriteOptionEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int64 ConnectionId;
const char *Name;
const char *Value; int reserved; } DCAuthWebServerWriteOptionEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireWriteOption(DCAuthWebServerWriteOptionEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LONG64 ConnectionId;
LPCWSTR Name;
LPCWSTR Value; INT reserved; } DCAuthWebServerWriteOptionEventParams;
#define EID_DCAUTHWEBSERVER_WRITEOPTION 23

virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireWriteOption(LONG64 &lConnectionId, LPSTR &lpszName, LPSTR &lpszValue);
class DCAuthWebServerWriteOptionEventParams {
public:
  qint64 ConnectionId();

  const QString &Name();

  const QString &Value();

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void WriteOption(DCAuthWebServerWriteOptionEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DCAuthWebServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireWriteOption(DCAuthWebServerWriteOptionEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

Subscribe to this event to respond to the clients' write option requests. The handler should save the Value of the Name option to a local configuration database.

Certificate Type

Encapsulates an individual X.509 certificate.

Syntax

SecureBlackboxCertificate (declared in secureblackbox.h)

Remarks

This type keeps and provides access to X.509 certificate details.

The following fields are available:

Fields

Bytes
char* (read-only)

Default Value:

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

CA
int

Default Value: FALSE

Indicates whether the certificate has a CA capability. For the certificate to be considered a CA, it must have its Basic Constraints extension set with the CA indicator enabled.

Set this field when generating a new certificate to have its Basic Constraints extension generated automatically.

CAKeyID
char* (read-only)

Default Value:

A unique identifier (fingerprint) of the CA certificate's cryptographic key.

Authority Key Identifier is a certificate extension which allows identification of certificates belonging to the same issuer, but with different public keys. It is a de-facto standard to include this extension in all certificates to facilitate chain building.

This setting cannot be set when generating a certificate as it always derives from another certificate property. CertificateManager generates this setting automatically if enough information is available to it: for self-signed certificates, this value is copied from the SubjectKeyID setting, and for lower-level certificates, from the parent certificate's subject key ID extension.

CertType
int (read-only)

Default Value: 0

Returns the type of the entity contained in the Certificate object.

A Certificate object can contain two types of cryptographic objects: a ready-to-use X.509 certificate, or a certificate request ("an unsigned certificate"). Certificate requests can be upgraded to full certificates by signing them with a CA certificate.

Use the CertificateManager class to load or create new certificate and certificate requests objects.

CRLDistributionPoints
char*

Default Value: ""

Contains a list of locations of CRL distribution points used to check this certificate's validity. The list is taken from the respective certificate extension.

Use this field when generating a certificate to provide a list of CRL endpoints that should be made part of the new certificate.

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

Curve
char*

Default Value: ""

Specifies the elliptic curve associated with the certificate's public key. This setting only applies to certificates containing EC keys.

Fingerprint
char* (read-only)

Default Value: ""

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

While there is no formal standard defining what a fingerprint is, a SHA1 hash of the certificate's DER-encoded body is typically used.

FriendlyName
char* (read-only)

Default Value: ""

Contains an associated alias (friendly name) of the certificate. The friendly name is not a property of a certificate: it is maintained by the certificate media rather than being included in its DER representation. Windows certificate stores are one example of media that does support friendly names.

Handle
int64

Default Value: 0

Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object. Use this property to assign objects of the same type in a quicker manner, without copying them fieldwise.

When you pass a handle of one object to another, the source object is copied to the destination rather than assigned. It is safe to get rid of the original object after such operation. pdfSigner.setSigningCertHandle(certMgr.getCertHandle());

HashAlgorithm
char*

Default Value: ""

Provides means to set the hash algorithm to be used in the subsequent operation on the certificate (such as generation or key signing). It is not a property of a certificate; use SigAlgorithm to find out the hash algorithm that is part of the certificate signature.

Issuer
char* (read-only)

Default Value: ""

The common name of the certificate issuer (CA), typically a company name. This is part of a larger set of credentials available via IssuerRDN.

IssuerRDN
char*

Default Value: ""

A list of Property=Value pairs that uniquely identify the certificate issuer.

Example: /C=US/O=Nationwide CA/CN=Web Certification Authority

KeyAlgorithm
char*

Default Value: "0"

Specifies the public key algorithm of this certificate.

Use the KeyBits, Curve, and PublicKeyBytes fields to get more details about the key the certificate contains.

KeyBits
int (read-only)

Default Value: 0

Returns the length of the public key in bits.

This value indicates the length of the principal cryptographic parameter of the key, such as the length of the RSA modulus or ECDSA field. The key data returned by the PublicKeyBytes or PrivateKeyBytes field would typically contain auxiliary values, and therefore be longer.

KeyFingerprint
char* (read-only)

Default Value: ""

Returns a SHA1 fingerprint of the public key contained in the certificate.

Note that the key fingerprint is different from the certificate fingerprint accessible via the Fingerprint field. The key fingeprint uniquely identifies the public key, and so can be the same for multiple certificates containing the same key.

KeyUsage
int

Default Value: 0

Indicates the purposes of the key contained in the certificate, in the form of an OR'ed flag set.

This value is a bit mask of the following values:

ckuUnknown0x00000Unknown key usage

ckuDigitalSignature0x00001Digital signature

ckuNonRepudiation0x00002Non-repudiation

ckuKeyEncipherment0x00004Key encipherment

ckuSmartCardLogon0x08000Smartcard logon

ckuKeyPurposeClientAuth0x10000Kerberos - client authentication

ckuKeyPurposeKDC0x20000Kerberos - KDC

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

KeyValid
int (read-only)

Default Value: FALSE

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

OCSPLocations
char*

Default Value: ""

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

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

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

OCSPNoCheck
int

Default Value: FALSE

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

Origin
int (read-only)

Default Value: 0

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

PolicyIDs
char*

Default Value: ""

Contains identifiers (OIDs) of the applicable certificate policies.

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

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

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

PrivateKeyBytes
char* (read-only)

Default Value:

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

PrivateKeyExists
int (read-only)

Default Value: FALSE

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

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

PrivateKeyExtractable
int (read-only)

Default Value: FALSE

Indicates whether the private key is extractable (exportable).

PublicKeyBytes
char* (read-only)

Default Value:

Contains the certificate's public key in DER format.

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

Qualified
int (read-only)

Default Value: FALSE

Indicates whether the certificate is qualified.

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

QualifiedStatements
int

Default Value: 0

Returns a simplified qualified status of the certificate.

Qualifiers
char* (read-only)

Default Value: ""

A list of qualifiers.

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

SelfSigned
int (read-only)

Default Value: FALSE

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

SerialNumber
char*

Default Value:

Returns the certificate's serial number.

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

SigAlgorithm
char* (read-only)

Default Value: ""

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

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

Source
int (read-only)

Default Value: 0

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

Subject
char* (read-only)

Default Value: ""

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

SubjectAlternativeName
char*

Default Value: ""

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

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

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

SubjectKeyID
char*

Default Value:

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

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

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

SubjectRDN
char*

Default Value: ""

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

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

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

Valid
int (read-only)

Default Value: FALSE

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

ValidFrom
char*

Default Value: ""

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

ValidTo
char*

Default Value: ""

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

Constructors

Certificate()

Creates a new object with default field values.

ExternalCrypto Type

Specifies the parameters of external cryptographic calls.

Syntax

SecureBlackboxExternalCrypto (declared in secureblackbox.h)

Remarks

External cryptocalls are used in a Distributed Cryptography (DC) subsystem, which allows the delegation of security operations to the remote agent. For instance, it can be used to compute the signature value on the server, while retaining the client's private key locally.

The following fields are available:

Fields

AsyncDocumentID
char*

Default Value: ""

Specifies an optional document ID for SignAsyncBegin() and SignAsyncEnd() calls.

Use this property when working with multi-signature DCAuth requests and responses to uniquely identify documents signed within a larger batch. On the completion stage, this value helps the signing component identify the correct signature in the returned batch of responses.

If using batched requests, make sure to set this property to the same value on both the pre-signing (SignAsyncBegin) and completion (SignAsyncEnd) stages.

CustomParams
char*

Default Value: ""

Custom parameters to be passed to the signing service (uninterpreted).

Data
char*

Default Value: ""

Additional data to be included in the async state and mirrored back by the requestor.

ExternalHashCalculation
int

Default Value: FALSE

Specifies whether the message hash is to be calculated at the external endpoint. Please note that this mode is not supported by the DCAuth class.

If set to true, the class will pass a few kilobytes of to-be-signed data from the document to the OnExternalSign event. This only applies when SignExternal() is called.

HashAlgorithm
char*

Default Value: "SHA256"

Specifies the request's signature hash algorithm.

SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_SHAKE_256_LENSHAKE_256_LEN

KeyID
char*

Default Value: ""

The ID of the pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.

Asynchronous DCAuth-driven communication requires that parties authenticate each other with a secret pre-shared cryptographic key. This provides an extra protection layer for the protocol and diminishes the risk of the private key becoming abused by foreign parties. Use this property to provide the pre-shared key identifier, and use KeySecret to pass the key itself.

The same KeyID/KeySecret pair should be used on the DCAuth side for the signing requests to be accepted.

Note: The KeyID/KeySecret scheme is very similar to the AuthKey scheme used in various Cloud service providers to authenticate users.

Example: signer.ExternalCrypto.KeyID = "MainSigningKey"; signer.ExternalCrypto.KeySecret = "abcdef0123456789";

KeySecret
char*

Default Value: ""

The pre-shared key used for DC request authentication. This key must be set and match the key used by the DCAuth counterpart for the scheme to work.

Read more about configuring authentication in the KeyID topic.

Method
int

Default Value: 0

Specifies the asynchronous signing method. This is typically defined by the DC server capabilities and setup.

Available options:

asmdPKCS10
asmdPKCS71

Mode
int

Default Value: 0

Available options:

ecmDefaultThe default value (0)
ecmDisabledDo not use DC or external signing (1)
ecmGenericGeneric external signing with the OnExternalSign event (2)
ecmDCAuthDCAuth signing (3)
ecmDCAuthJSONDCAuth signing in JSON format (4)

PublicKeyAlgorithm
char*

Default Value: ""

Provide the public key algorithm here if the certificate is not available on the pre-signing stage.

Ciphersuites
char*

Default Value: ""

A list of ciphersuites separated with commas or semicolons. Each ciphersuite in the list may be prefixed with a minus sign (-) to indicate that the ciphersuite should be disabled rather than enabled. Besides the specific ciphersuite modifiers, this property supports the all (and -all) aliases, allowing all ciphersuites to be blanketly enabled or disabled at once.

Note: the list of ciphersuites provided to this property alters the baseline list of ciphersuites as defined by BaseConfiguration. Remember to start your ciphersuite string with -all; if you need to only enable a specific fixed set of ciphersuites. The list of supported ciphersuites is provided below:

RevocationCheck
int

Default Value: 1

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

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

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

This setting controls the way the revocation checks are performed for every certificate in the chain. Typically certificates come with two types of revocation information sources: CRL (certificate revocation lists) and OCSP responders. CRLs are static objects periodically published by the CA at some online location. OCSP responders are active online services maintained by the CA that can provide up-to-date information on certificate statuses in near real time.

There are some conceptual differences between the two. CRLs are normally larger in size. Their use involves some latency because there is normally some delay between the time when a certificate was revoked and the time the subsequent CRL mentioning that is published. The benefits of CRL is that the same object can provide statuses for all certificates issued by a particular CA, and that the whole technology is much simpler than OCSP (and thus is supported by more CAs).

This setting lets you adjust the validation course by including or excluding certain types of revocation sources from the validation process. The crcAnyOCSPOrCRL setting (give preference to the faster OCSP route and only demand one source to succeed) is a good choice for most typical validation environments. The "crcAll*" modes are much stricter, and may be used in scenarios where bulletproof validity information is essential.

Note: If no CRL or OCSP endpoints are provided by the CA, the revocation check will be considered successful. This is because the CA chose not to supply revocation information for its certificates, meaning they are considered irrevocable.

Note: Within each of the above settings, if any retrieved CRL or OCSP response indicates that the certificate has been revoked, the revocation check fails.

SecureBlackboxUserAccount (declared in secureblackbox.h)

Remarks

UserAccount objects are used to store user account information, such as logins and passwords.

The following fields are available:

Fields

AssociatedData
char*

Default Value:

Contains the user's Associated Data when SSH AEAD (Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data) algorithm is used.

BasePath
char*

Default Value: ""

Base path for this user in the server's file system.

Certificate
char*

SB_MAC_ALGORITHM_HMAC_SHA1SHA1
SB_MAC_ALGORITHM_HMAC_SHA256SHA256
SB_MAC_ALGORITHM_HMAC_SHA512SHA512

IncomingSpeedLimit
int

Default Value: 0

Specifies the incoming speed limit for this user. The value of 0 (zero) means "no limitation".

OtpAlgorithm
int

Default Value: 0

The algorithm used to generate one-time passwords (OTP) for this user, either HOTP (Hash-based OTP) or TOTP (Time-based OTP). In the former case, a value of a dedicated counter is used to generate a unique password, while in the latter the password is generated on the basis of the current time value.

oaHmac0

SharedSecret
char*

Default Value:

Contains the user's secret key, which is essentially a shared secret between the client and server.

Shared secrets can be used in TLS-driven protocols, as well as in OTP (where it is called a 'key secret') for generating one-time passwords on one side, and validate them on the other.

SSHKey
char*

Default Value:

Contains the user's SSH key.

Username
char*

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 DCAuthWebServer 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 (DCAuthWebServer 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.
