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.

char* secureblackbox_dtlsserver_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.

int secureblackbox_dtlsserver_exportkeymaterial(void* lpObj, int64 lConnectionID, const char* lpszLbl, const char* lpContext, int lenContext, int iLen);
int ExportKeyMaterial(qint64 lConnectionID, const QString& qsLbl, QByteArray qbaContext, int iLen);
Remarks
Some protocols - for example, SRTP - use the TLS exporters scheme to derive their own session keys from the TLS master key. This method lets you employ exporters to obtain such keys, or to generate secure keys for your own needs from an active TLS session.
The exported keys depend on the master key, and are different for every TLS session. However, a client and server sharing a session will always end up with the same key material, as long as they use the same values of Lbl, Context, and Len.
Use the ConnectionID parameter to specify the session that you would like to derive key material from.
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.

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void ExternalSign(DTLSServerExternalSignEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DTLSServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireExternalSign(DTLSServerExternalSignEventParams *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();
};
Notification Event (DTLSServer Class)

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Notification(DTLSServerNotificationEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DTLSServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireNotification(DTLSServerNotificationEventParams *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:
ListeningStarted | Notifies the application that the server has started listening for incoming connections. |
ListeningStopped | Notifies the application that the server has stopped listening to incoming connections. |

Remarks
The class fires this event to notify the application of an authenticating client. Use the event handler to validate the certificate and pass your decision back to the server component via the Accept parameter.
TLSEstablished Event (DTLSServer Class)
Reports the setup of a TLS session.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireTLSEstablished(DTLSServerTLSEstablishedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int64 ConnectionID; int reserved; } DTLSServerTLSEstablishedEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTLSEstablished(DTLSServerTLSEstablishedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LONG64 ConnectionID; INT reserved; } DTLSServerTLSEstablishedEventParams;
#define EID_DTLSSERVER_TLSESTABLISHED 10 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireTLSEstablished(LONG64 &lConnectionID);

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void TLSEstablished(DTLSServerTLSEstablishedEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DTLSServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTLSEstablished(DTLSServerTLSEstablishedEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
Subscribe to this event to be notified about the setup of a TLS connection by a connected client.
TLSHandshake Event (DTLSServer Class)
Fires when a newly established client connection initiates a TLS handshake.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireTLSHandshake(DTLSServerTLSHandshakeEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int64 ConnectionID;
const char *ServerName;
int Abort; int reserved; } DTLSServerTLSHandshakeEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTLSHandshake(DTLSServerTLSHandshakeEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LONG64 ConnectionID;

#define EID_DTLSSERVER_TLSHANDSHAKE 11 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireTLSHandshake(LONG64 &lConnectionID, LPSTR &lpszServerName, BOOL &bAbort);
class DTLSServerTLSHandshakeEventParams { public: qint64 ConnectionID(); const QString &ServerName(); bool Abort(); void SetAbort(bool bAbort); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void TLSHandshake(DTLSServerTLSHandshakeEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DTLSServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTLSHandshake(DTLSServerTLSHandshakeEventParams *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 (DTLSServer Class)
Requests a pre-shared key for TLS-PSK.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireTLSPSK(DTLSServerTLSPSKEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int64 ConnectionID;
const char *Identity;
char *PSK;
char *Ciphersuite; int reserved; } DTLSServerTLSPSKEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTLSPSK(DTLSServerTLSPSKEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LONG64 ConnectionID;
LPCWSTR Identity;
LPWSTR PSK;
LPWSTR Ciphersuite; INT reserved; } DTLSServerTLSPSKEventParams;
#define EID_DTLSSERVER_TLSPSK 12 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireTLSPSK(LONG64 &lConnectionID, LPSTR &lpszIdentity, LPSTR &lpszPSK, LPSTR &lpszCiphersuite);
class DTLSServerTLSPSKEventParams { 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(DTLSServerTLSPSKEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DTLSServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTLSPSK(DTLSServerTLSPSKEventParams *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 (DTLSServer Class)
Reports closure of a TLS session.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireTLSShutdown(DTLSServerTLSShutdownEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int64 ConnectionID; int reserved; } DTLSServerTLSShutdownEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireTLSShutdown(DTLSServerTLSShutdownEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LONG64 ConnectionID; INT reserved; } DTLSServerTLSShutdownEventParams;
#define EID_DTLSSERVER_TLSSHUTDOWN 13 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireTLSShutdown(LONG64 &lConnectionID);
class DTLSServerTLSShutdownEventParams { public: qint64 ConnectionID(); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void TLSShutdown(DTLSServerTLSShutdownEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass DTLSServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTLSShutdown(DTLSServerTLSShutdownEventParams *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.
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.

SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_SHAKE_256_LEN | SHAKE_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

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.

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 DTLSServer 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 (DTLSServer 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.DTLSServer Config Settings
0 | No client authentication (the default setting) | |
1 | Request certificates. The server will ask connecting clients for their certificates. Non-authenticated client connections will be accepted anyway. | |
2 | Require certificates. The server will ask connecting clients for their certificates. If a client fails to provide a certificate, the server will terminate the connection. |
If this property is set to 1 or 2, the component will request certificates from the connecting clients. Depending on the setting, the clients that fail to provide their certificate in response will be allowed or disallowed to proceed with the connection. The server signals about a received certificate by firing its CertificateValidate event. Use PinClient method in the event handler to pin the client details, and access the provided certificate chain via the PinnedClientChain property.
Note that this event is fired from the connecting clients threads, so please make sure you avoid bottlenecks in the event handler and put appropriate thread safety measures in place.
Unlike the client-side components, the server component does not perform automated certificate validation against the local security policy. You must perform appropriate certificate validation steps in your CertificateValidate event handler.
