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 (XMLEncryptor Class)

Performs an additional action.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* DoAction(const char* lpszActionID, const char* lpszActionParams);

char* secureblackbox_xmlencryptor_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++)

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.

Encrypt Method (XMLEncryptor Class)

Encrypts an XML document.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Encrypt();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Encrypt();
int secureblackbox_xmlencryptor_encrypt(void* lpObj);
int Encrypt();

Remarks

Call this method to encrypt an XML document.

The class could be used to encrypt the SOAP message as well.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

Reset Method (XMLEncryptor Class)

Resets the class settings.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Reset();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Reset();
int secureblackbox_xmlencryptor_reset(void* lpObj);
int Reset();

Remarks

Reset is a generic method available in every class.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

LPWSTR EndTagWhitespace;
INT Level;
LPCWSTR Path;
BOOL HasChildElements; INT reserved; } XMLEncryptorFormatElementEventParams;
#define EID_XMLENCRYPTOR_FORMATELEMENT 2

virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireFormatElement(LPSTR &lpszStartTagWhitespace, LPSTR &lpszEndTagWhitespace, INT &iLevel, LPSTR &lpszPath, BOOL &bHasChildElements);
class XMLEncryptorFormatElementEventParams {
public:
  const QString &StartTagWhitespace();
  void SetStartTagWhitespace(const QString &qsStartTagWhitespace);

  const QString &EndTagWhitespace();
  void SetEndTagWhitespace(const QString &qsEndTagWhitespace);

  int Level();

  const QString &Path();

  bool HasChildElements();

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

Remarks

Path and Level specify the path to the XML element being processed and its nesting level, respectively.

HasChildElements specify if processed XML element has child elements.

Among other purposes, this event may be used to add whitespace formatting before or after a particular element in the signature.

FormatText Event (XMLEncryptor Class)

Reports XML text that is currently being processed.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireFormatText(XMLEncryptorFormatTextEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
char *Text;
int TextType;
int Level;
const char *Path; int reserved; } XMLEncryptorFormatTextEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireFormatText(XMLEncryptorFormatTextEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPWSTR Text;
INT TextType;
INT Level;
LPCWSTR Path; INT reserved; } XMLEncryptorFormatTextEventParams;
#define EID_XMLENCRYPTOR_FORMATTEXT 3

virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireFormatText(LPSTR &lpszText, INT &iTextType, INT &iLevel, LPSTR &lpszPath);
class XMLEncryptorFormatTextEventParams {
public:
  const QString &Text();
  void SetText(const QString &qsText);

  int TextType();

  int Level();

  const QString &Path();

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

Remarks

TextType parameter specifies the type of the XML text (normal or Base64-encoded) that is stored in the element; Path and Level specify the path to the XML element and its nesting level.

Among other purposes, this event may be used to add whitespace formatting before or after a particular element in the signature.

Notification Event (XMLEncryptor Class)

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

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireNotification(XMLEncryptorNotificationEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *EventID;
const char *EventParam; int reserved; } XMLEncryptorNotificationEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireNotification(XMLEncryptorNotificationEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR EventID;
LPCWSTR EventParam; INT reserved; } XMLEncryptorNotificationEventParams;
#define EID_XMLENCRYPTOR_NOTIFICATION 4

virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireNotification(LPSTR &lpszEventID, LPSTR &lpszEventParam);
class XMLEncryptorNotificationEventParams {
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(XMLEncryptorNotificationEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass XMLEncryptor and override this emitter function. virtual int FireNotification(XMLEncryptorNotificationEventParams *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.

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.

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

SB_CERT_ALGORITHM_EDDSA_SIGNATUREid-EdDSA-sig

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

ckuKeyAgreement0x00010Key agreement

ckuKeyCertSign0x00020Certificate signing

ckuCRLSign0x00040Revocation signing

ckuEncipherOnly0x00080Encipher only

ckuDecipherOnly0x00100Decipher only

ckuServerAuthentication0x00200Server authentication

ckuClientAuthentication0x00400Client authentication

ckuCodeSigning0x00800Code signing

ckuEmailProtection0x01000Email protection

ckuTimeStamping0x02000Timestamping

ckuOCSPSigning0x04000OCSP signing

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.

Config Settings (XMLEncryptor 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.

XMLEncryptor Config Settings

EncryptedDataID:   Specifies the ID for EncryptedData element.

This property contains the identifier (ID) attribute of the xenc:EncryptedData element.

EncryptedKeyID:   Specifies the ID for EncryptedKey element.

This property contains the identifier (ID) attribute of the xenc:EncryptedKey element.

EncryptedKeyInfoCustomXML:   The custom XML content for EncryptedKey\KeyInfo element.

Use this property to specify the custom XML content of the xenc:EncryptedKey\ds:KeyInfo element.

The empty elements in the custom XML content act as a placeholder for auto-generated elements.

For example to change the order of ds:KeyValue and ds:X509Data auto-generated elements use the value: "<X509Data/><KeyValue/>"

EncryptedKeyInfoID:   Specifies the ID for EncryptedKey\KeyInfo element.

This property contains the identifier (ID) attribute of the xenc:EncryptedKey\ds:KeyInfo element.

EncryptedKeyOnly:   Specifies whether to create only EncryptedKey element.

Set this property to True to create only xenc:EncryptedKey element.

EncryptedKeyXMLElement:   Specifies the XML element where to save the encrypted key element.

This property specifies the XML element where to save the xenc:EncryptedKey element.

Supported values are:

""an empty string indicates the Document element
"#id"indicates an XML element with specified Id
XPath expressionindicates an XML element selected using XPath expression. Use AddKnownNamespace method to specify Prefixes and NamespaceURIs

For example:

"/root/data[1]" - indicates the second "data" element under the document element with a name "root"

"//ns1:data" - indicates a data element. "ns1" prefix should be defined via AddKnownNamespace method.

Node nameindicates an XML element selected using its NodeName.

For example: "data" - indicates an XML element with node name "data".

EncryptionPrefix:   Specifies the encryption prefix.

Specifies the prefix for the EncryptedData elements.

Default value is "xenc". In this case "xenc:" prefix will be used.

Special values:

"#default" or ""indicates that the prefix will be omitted.
"#auto"indicates that the prefix will be auto-detected based on the parent nodes.

KeyInfoCustomXML:   The custom XML content for KeyInfo element.

Use this property to specify the custom XML content of the ds:KeyInfo element.

The empty elements in the custom XML content act as a placeholder for auto-generated elements.

For example to change the order of ds:KeyValue and ds:X509Data auto-generated elements use the value: "<X509Data/><KeyValue/>"

KeyInfoID:   Specifies the ID for KeyInfo element.

This property contains the identifier (ID) attribute of the ds:KeyInfo element.

KeyName:   Contains information about the key used for encryption.

The KeyName element contains a string value (with significant whitespaces) which may be used by the encryptor to communicate a key identifier to the recipient. Typically, the KeyName element contains an identifier related to the key pair used to sign the message, but it may contain other protocol-related information that indirectly identifies a key pair. Common uses of the KeyName include simple string names for keys, a key index, a distinguished name (DN), an email address, etc.

MimeType:   Specifies the mime type of the encrypted data.

MimeType is an optional (advisory) attribute which describes the media type of the data which is encrypted. The value of this attribute is a string with values defined by MIME specification (RFC 2045). For example, if the data that is encrypted is a base64 encoded PNG, the transfer Encoding may be specified as 'http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#base64' and the MimeType as 'image/png'. This attribute is purely advisory; no validation of the MimeType information is required and it does not indicate the encryption application must do any additional processing.

SignaturePrefix:   Specifies the signature prefix.

Specifies the prefix for the Signature elements.

Default value is "ds". In this case "ds:" prefix will be used.

Special values:

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.

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

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

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

UseSystemNativeSizeCalculation:   An internal CryptoAPI access tweak.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trappable Errors (XMLEncryptor 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.
