QString GetFromAddrAddress(int iFromAddrIndex);

QString GetFromAddrDisplayName(int iFromAddrIndex);

QString GetFromAddrGroupName(int iFromAddrIndex);

Remarks

This field contains address(es) of message author(s). If the actual sender is not the author of the message, the sender is provided separately via Sender property.

This property is read-only.

Data Type

SecureBlackboxMailAddress

IgnoreChainValidationErrors Property (MailReader Class)

Makes the class tolerant to chain validation errors.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetIgnoreChainValidationErrors();
int SetIgnoreChainValidationErrors(int bIgnoreChainValidationErrors);

Unicode (Windows)
BOOL GetIgnoreChainValidationErrors();

int secureblackbox_mailreader_getignorechainvalidationerrors(void* lpObj);
int secureblackbox_mailreader_setignorechainvalidationerrors(void* lpObj, int bIgnoreChainValidationErrors);

bool GetIgnoreChainValidationErrors();
int SetIgnoreChainValidationErrors(bool bIgnoreChainValidationErrors);

Default Value

FALSE

Remarks

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

Data Type

Boolean

KnownCertificates Property (MailReader Class)

Additional certificates for chain validation.

Syntax

SecureBlackboxList<SecureBlackboxCertificate>* GetKnownCertificates();
int SetKnownCertificates(SecureBlackboxList<SecureBlackboxCertificate>* val);

int secureblackbox_mailreader_getknowncertcount(void* lpObj);
int secureblackbox_mailreader_setknowncertcount(void* lpObj, int iKnownCertCount);

int secureblackbox_mailreader_setknowncerthandle(void* lpObj, int knowncertindex, int64 lKnownCertHandle);

int GetKnownCertCount();
int SetKnownCertCount(int iKnownCertCount);

QByteArray GetKnownCertBytes(int iKnownCertIndex);

qint64 GetKnownCertHandle(int iKnownCertIndex);
int SetKnownCertHandle(int iKnownCertIndex, qint64 lKnownCertHandle);

Remarks

Use this property to supply a list of additional certificates that might be needed for chain validation. An example of a scenario where you might want to do that is when intermediary CA certificates are absent from the standard system locations (or when there are no standard system locations), and therefore should be supplied to the class manually.

The purpose of the certificates to be added to this collection is roughly equivalent to that of the Intermediate Certification Authorities system store in Windows.

Do not add trust anchors or root certificates to this collection: add them to TrustedCertificates instead.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

SecureBlackboxCertificate

KnownCRLs Property (MailReader Class)

int secureblackbox_mailreader_getrevocationcheck(void* lpObj);
int secureblackbox_mailreader_setrevocationcheck(void* lpObj, int iRevocationCheck);

int GetRevocationCheck();
int SetRevocationCheck(int iRevocationCheck);

Default Value

Remarks

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

Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) and Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responses serve the same purpose of ensuring that the certificate had not been revoked by the Certificate Authority (CA) at the time of use. Depending on your circumstances and security policy requirements, you may want to use either one or both of the revocation information source types.


crcNone	`0`	No revocation checking
crcAuto	`1`	Automatic mode selection. Currently this maps to crcAnyOCSPOrCRL, but it may change in the future.
crcAllCRL	`2`	Check all provided CRL endpoints for all chain certificates.
crcAllOCSP	`3`	Check all provided OCSP endpoints for all chain certificates.
crcAllCRLAndOCSP	`4`	Check all CRL and OCSP endpoints for all chain certificates.
crcAnyCRL	`5`	At least one CRL check for every certificate in the chain must succeed.
crcAnyOCSP	`6`	At least one OCSP check for every certificate in the chain must succeed.
crcAnyCRLOrOCSP	`7`	At least one CRL or OCSP check for every certificate in the chain must succeed. CRL endpoints are checked first.
crcAnyOCSPOrCRL	`8`	At least one CRL or OCSP check for every certificate in the chain must succeed. OCSP endpoints are checked first.

This setting controls the way the revocation checks are performed. 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.

Remarks

Use this property to supply a list of trusted certificates that might be needed for chain validation. An example of a scenario where you might want to do that is when root CA certificates are absent from the standard system locations (or when there are no standard system locations), and therefore should be supplied to the component manually.

The purpose of this certificate collection is largely the same as that of the Windows Trusted Root Certification Authorities system store.

Use this property with extreme care as it directly affects chain verifiability; a wrong certificate added to the trusted list may result in bad chains being accepted, and forfeited signatures being recognized as genuine. Only add certificates that originate from the parties that you know and trust.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

SecureBlackboxCertificate

ValidationMoment Property (MailReader Class)

The time point at which signature validity is to be established.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetValidationMoment();
int SetValidationMoment(const char* lpszValidationMoment);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GetValidationMoment();
INT SetValidationMoment(LPCWSTR lpszValidationMoment);

char* secureblackbox_mailreader_getvalidationmoment(void* lpObj);
int secureblackbox_mailreader_setvalidationmoment(void* lpObj, const char* lpszValidationMoment);

QString GetValidationMoment();
int SetValidationMoment(QString qsValidationMoment);

Default Value

Remarks

Use this property to specify the moment in time at which signature validity should be established. The time is in UTC. Leave the setting empty to stick to the default moment (either the signature creation time or the current time).

The validity of the same signature may differ depending on the time point chosen due to temporal changes in chain validities, revocation statuses, and timestamp times.

Data Type

String

Config Method (MailReader Class)

This method sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

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

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR Config(LPCWSTR lpszConfigurationString);

char* secureblackbox_mailreader_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 (MailReader 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_mailreader_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;....

Error Handling (C++)

FindAttachment Method (MailReader Class)

int secureblackbox_mailreader_findattachment(void* lpObj, const char* lpszID);

int FindAttachment(const QString& qsID);

Remarks

Use this method to find the attachment by its ID.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns an Integer value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

LoadFromBytes Method (MailReader Class)

Loads an e-mail message from a byte array.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int LoadFromBytes(const char* lpMessageBytes, int lenMessageBytes);

Unicode (Windows)
INT LoadFromBytes(LPCSTR lpMessageBytes, INT lenMessageBytes);

int secureblackbox_mailreader_loadfrombytes(void* lpObj, const char* lpMessageBytes, int lenMessageBytes);

int LoadFromBytes(QByteArray qbaMessageBytes);

Remarks

Use this method to load a message from a byte array and process it. Once the message has been loaded, use Message to access its properties.

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.)

LoadFromFile Method (MailReader Class)

Loads an e-mail message from a file.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int LoadFromFile(const char* lpszFileName);

Unicode (Windows)
INT LoadFromFile(LPCWSTR lpszFileName);

int secureblackbox_mailreader_loadfromfile(void* lpObj, const char* lpszFileName);

int LoadFromFile(const QString& qsFileName);

Remarks

virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireDecryptionInfoNeeded(LPSTR &lpszIssuerRDN, LPSTR &lpSerialNumber, INT &lenSerialNumber, LPSTR &lpSubjectKeyID, INT &lenSubjectKeyID);

class MailReaderDecryptionInfoNeededEventParams {
public:
  const QString &IssuerRDN();

  const QByteArray &SerialNumber();

  const QByteArray &SubjectKeyID();

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

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

// Or, subclass MailReader and override this emitter function.
virtual int FireDecryptionInfoNeeded(MailReaderDecryptionInfoNeededEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

This event is fired when the component needs a decryption certificate. Use the provided values to look up the certificate, and assign it to DecryptionCertificate property.

Note that the decryption certificate must have an associated private key.

Error Event (MailReader Class)

Reports information about errors during e-mail message loading, parsing or saving.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireError(MailReaderErrorEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  int ErrorCode;

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

ExternalDecrypt Event (MailReader Class)

Handles remote or external decryption.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireExternalDecrypt(MailReaderExternalDecryptEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  const char *OperationId;
  const char *Algorithm;
  const char *Pars;
  const char *EncryptedData;
  char *Data;
  int reserved;
} MailReaderExternalDecryptEventParams;


Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireExternalDecrypt(MailReaderExternalDecryptEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  LPCWSTR OperationId;
  LPCWSTR Algorithm;
  LPCWSTR Pars;
  LPCWSTR EncryptedData;
  LPWSTR Data;
  INT reserved;
} MailReaderExternalDecryptEventParams;

#define EID_MAILREADER_EXTERNALDECRYPT 4

virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireExternalDecrypt(LPSTR &lpszOperationId, LPSTR &lpszAlgorithm, LPSTR &lpszPars, LPSTR &lpszEncryptedData, LPSTR &lpszData);

class MailReaderExternalDecryptEventParams {
public:
  const QString &OperationId();

  const QString &Algorithm();

  const QString &Pars();

  const QString &EncryptedData();

  const QString &Data();
  void SetData(const QString &qsData);

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

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

// Or, subclass MailReader and override this emitter function.
virtual int FireExternalDecrypt(MailReaderExternalDecryptEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

Assign a handler to this event if you need to delegate a low-level decryption operation to an external, remote, or custom decryption engine. The handler receives an encrypted value in the EncryptedData parameter, and is expected to decrypt it and place the decrypted value into the Data parameter.

OperationId provides a comment about the operation and its origin. It depends on the exact class being used, and may be empty. Algorithm specifies the encryption algorithm being used, and Pars contains algorithm-dependent parameters.

The class uses base16 (hex) encoding for the EncryptedData, Data, and Pars parameters. If your decryption engine uses a different input and output encoding, you may need to decode and/or encode the data before and/or after the decryption.

Sample data encoded in base16: a0dee2a0382afbb09120ffa7ccd8a152 - lower case base16 A0DEE2A0382AFBB09120FFA7CCD8A152 - upper case base16

Notification Event (MailReader Class)

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

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireNotification(MailReaderNotificationEventParams *e);

typedef struct {

  LPCWSTR EventParam;
  INT reserved;
} MailReaderNotificationEventParams;

#define EID_MAILREADER_NOTIFICATION 5

virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireNotification(LPSTR &lpszEventID, LPSTR &lpszEventParam);

class MailReaderNotificationEventParams {
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(MailReaderNotificationEventParams *e);

// Or, subclass MailReader and override this emitter function.
virtual int FireNotification(MailReaderNotificationEventParams *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.

SignatureFound Event (MailReader Class)

Signifies the start of signature validation.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireSignatureFound(MailReaderSignatureFoundEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  LPCWSTR IssuerRDN;
  LPCSTR SerialNumber;
  INT lenSerialNumber;
  LPCSTR SubjectKeyID;
  INT lenSubjectKeyID;
  BOOL CertFound;
  BOOL ValidateSignature;
  BOOL ValidateChain;
  INT reserved;
} MailReaderSignatureFoundEventParams;

#define EID_MAILREADER_SIGNATUREFOUND 6

virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireSignatureFound(LPSTR &lpszIssuerRDN, LPSTR &lpSerialNumber, INT &lenSerialNumber, LPSTR &lpSubjectKeyID, INT &lenSubjectKeyID, BOOL &bCertFound, BOOL &bValidateSignature, BOOL &bValidateChain);

class MailReaderSignatureFoundEventParams {
public:
  const QString &IssuerRDN();

  const QByteArray &SerialNumber();

  const QByteArray &SubjectKeyID();

  bool CertFound();

  bool ValidateSignature();
  void SetValidateSignature(bool bValidateSignature);

  bool ValidateChain();
  void SetValidateChain(bool bValidateChain);

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

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

// Or, subclass MailReader and override this emitter function.
virtual int FireSignatureFound(MailReaderSignatureFoundEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

This event tells the application that signature validation is about to start, and provides the details about the signer's certificate via its IssuerRDN, SerialNumber, and SubjectKeyID parameters. It fires for every signature located in the verified document or message.

The CertFound parameter is set to True if the class has found the needed certificate in one of the known locations, and to False otherwise, in which case you must provide it manually via the KnownCertificates property.

Signature validation consists of two independent stages: cryptographic signature validation and chain validation. Separate validation results are reported for each, with the and properties respectively.

Use the ValidateSignature and ValidateChain parameters to tell the verifier which stages to include in the validation.

SignatureValidated Event (MailReader Class)

Marks the completion of the signature validation routine.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireSignatureValidated(MailReaderSignatureValidatedEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  const char *IssuerRDN;

  int ValidationResult();

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

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

// Or, subclass MailReader and override this emitter function.
virtual int FireSignatureValidated(MailReaderSignatureValidatedEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

This event is fired upon the completion of the signature validation routine, and reports the respective validation result.

Use the IssuerRDN, SerialNumber, and/or SubjectKeyID parameters to identify the signing certificate.

ValidationResult is set to 0 if the validation has been successful, or to a non-zero value in case of a validation failure.


svtValid	`0`	The signature is valid
svtUnknown	`1`	Signature validity is unknown
svtCorrupted	`2`	The signature is corrupted
svtSignerNotFound	`3`	Failed to acquire the signing certificate. The signature cannot be validated.
svtFailure	`4`	General failure
svtReferenceCorrupted	`5`	Reference corrupted (XML-based signatures only)

Certificate Type

Encapsulates an individual X.509 certificate.

Syntax

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 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 property 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 to find out the hash algorithm that is part of the certificate signature.

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

Use the , , and properties 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 or property 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 property. 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 property 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 property 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 property 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 property 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 property is independent from , 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 .

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

SubjectRDN
char*
Default Value: ""

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

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

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

Valid
int (read-only)
Default Value: FALSE

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

ValidFrom
char*
Default Value: ""

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

ValidTo
char*
Default Value: ""

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

Constructors

Certificate()

Creates a new object with default field values.

CRL Type

Represents a Certificate Revocation List.

Syntax

SecureBlackboxCRL (declared in secureblackbox.h)

Remarks

CRLs store information about revoked certificates, i.e., certificates that have been identified as invalid by their issuing certificate authority (CA) for any number of reasons.

Each CRL object lists certificates from a single CA and identifies them by their serial numbers. A CA may or may not publish a CRL, may publish several CRLs, or may publish the same CRL in multiple locations.

Unlike OCSP responses, CRLs only list certificates that have been revoked. They do not list certificates that are still valid.

Fields

Bytes
char* (read-only)
Default Value:

Returns the raw CRL data in DER format.

CAKeyID
char*
Default Value:

A unique identifier (fingerprint) of the CA certificate's private key, if present in the CRL.

EntryCount
int (read-only)
Default Value: 0

Returns the number of certificate status entries in the CRL.

Handle
int64
Default Value: 0

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

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

The common name of the CRL issuer (CA), typically a company name.

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

A collection of information, in the form of [OID, Value] pairs, uniquely identifying the CRL issuer.

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

The URL that the CRL was downloaded from.

NextUpdate
char*
Default Value: ""

The planned time and date of the next version of this CRL to be published.

SigAlgorithm
char*
Default Value: "0"

The public key algorithm that was used by the CA to sign this CRL.

Source
int (read-only)
Default Value: 0

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

TBS
char* (read-only)
Default Value:

The to-be-signed part of the CRL (the CRL without the signature part).

ThisUpdate
char*
Default Value: ""

The date and time at which this version of the CRL was published.

Constructors

CRL()

Creates an empty CRL object.

ExternalCrypto Type

Specifies the parameters of external cryptographic calls.

Syntax

SecureBlackboxExternalCrypto (declared in secureblackbox.h)

Remarks

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

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 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.

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 MailReader 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() {}
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) {}

SecureBlackboxStream Type

Syntax

SecureBlackboxStream (declared in secureblackbox.h)

Remarks

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

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

Properties

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

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

Config Settings (MailReader 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.

MailReader Config Settings

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

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

HeaderCharset: Charset of the header. If not empty, the one specified in the message header will be ignored.

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

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

If IgnoreSystemTrust is True, certificates residing in the trusted root store are treated as if they are known, rather than trusted. Only certificates provided via other means (such as the TrustedCertificates property) are considered trusted.

MaxHeaderSize: Specifies the maximum mail message header size in bytes.

Use this property to adjust the maximum size of a mail message header. If no header end (CRLFCRLF) found, the header is considered blank. Default size is 32768 (i.e. 32KB).

TempPath: Path for storing temporary files.

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

TextCharset: Charset of text parts, if any. If not empty, the one specified in the message text parts will be ignored.

TolerateMinorChainIssues: Whether to tolerate minor chain issues.

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

CA, revocation source, TLS key usage requirements are not mandated
Violation of OCSP issuer requirements are ignored
The AuthorityKeyID extension in CRL- and certificate-issuing CAs are ignored (helps with incorrectly renewed certificates)
Basic constraints and name constraints of CA certificates are ignored
Some weaker algorithms are tolerated

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

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

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

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

Base Config Settings

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

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

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

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

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

Supported values are:


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

Cookies: Gets or sets local cookies for the class.

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

DefDeriveKeyIterations: Specifies the default key derivation algorithm iteration count.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

LogDestination: Specifies the debug log destination.

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

Supported values are:


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

LogDetails: Specifies the debug log details to dump.

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

Supported values are:


time		Current time
level		Level
package		Package name
module		Module name
class		Class name

threadid		Thread Id
contenttype		Content type
content		Content
all		All details

LogFile: Specifies the debug log filename.

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

LogFilters: Specifies the debug log filters.

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

Supported filter names are:


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

LogFlushMode: Specifies the log flush mode.

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


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

LogLevel: Specifies the debug log level.

Use this property to provide the desired debug log level.

Supported values are:


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

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

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

The default value of this setting is 100.

LogRotationMode: Specifies the log rotation mode.

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

StaticDNS: Specifies whether static DNS rules should be used.

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

Supported values are:


none		No static DNS rules (default)
local		Local static DNS rules
global		Global static DNS rules

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

Use this property to get or set an IP address for the specified domain name in the internal (of the class) or global DNS rules storage depending on the StaticDNS value. The type of the IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) is determined automatically. If both addresses are available, they are devided by the | (pipe) character.

StaticIPAddresses: Gets or sets all the static DNS rules.

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

Tag: Allows to store any custom data.

Use this config property to store any custom data.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trappable Errors (MailReader Class)

Error Handling (C++)

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