XMLVerifier Class

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The XMLVerifier class provides simplified XML signature validation capabilities.

Syntax

XMLVerifier

Remarks

Use this control to validate XML-SIG signatures. XMLVerifier is capable of validating the integrity of the references covered by the signature and the integrity of the signature itself, using the certificate contained in the signature or provided from the user' code.

Note that this component only validates the cryptographic aspects of the signatures, but does not perform any chain of trust validation. As such, it is the task of your code to ensure that the signing certificate is good for its purpose and is trusted in your environment.

If you are looking to validate certificate trust in addition to the cryptographic capabilities, please consider using XAdESVerifier. XAdESVerifier provides full support for advanced signature ecosystem, including revocation and Trusted List checking, timing checks, and chain of trust validation.

int secureblackbox_xmlverifier_addknownnamespace(void* lpObj, const char* lpszPrefix, const char* lpszURI);
int AddKnownNamespace(const QString& qsPrefix, const QString& qsURI);

Remarks

Use this method to add a known prefix and namespace URI that are used in XPath expression within XMLElement/XMLNode property, and within TargetXMLElement and XPathPrefixList properties of the references.

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.)

Close Method (XMLVerifier Class)

Closes an opened document.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Close(int bSaveChanges);

Unicode (Windows)
INT Close(BOOL bSaveChanges);
int secureblackbox_xmlverifier_close(void* lpObj, int bSaveChanges);
int Close(bool bSaveChanges);

Remarks

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.

// Or, subclass XMLVerifier and override this emitter function. virtual int FireNotification(XMLVerifierNotificationEventParams *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:

DocumentLoadedNotifies the application that the document has been loaded. This is a backward-compatibility-only notification. Use OnDocumentLoaded event instead.
SignaturesLoadedNotifies the application that the component has finished loading signatures.
RetrieveQualifyingPropertiesTBD
BeforeTimestampThis event is fired before a timestamp is requested from the timestamping authority. Use the event handler to modify TSA and HTTP settings.
TimestampErrorThis event is only fired if the class failed to obtain a timestamp from the timestamping authority. The EventParam parameter contains extended error info.
TimestampRequestA timestamp is requested from the custom timestamping authority. This event is only fired if TimestampServer was set to a virtual:// URI. The EventParam parameter contains the TSP request (or the plain hash, depending on the value provided to TimestampServer), in base16, that needs to be sent to the TSA.

Use the event handler to send the request to the TSA. Upon receiving the response, assign it, in base16, to the TimestampResponse configuration property.

  bool DigestValid();

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

Remarks

The class fires this event to report completion of a reference validation. A reference is a building block of a signature as it binds signature coverage to a particular piece of the document.

ResolveReference Event (XMLVerifier Class)

Asks the application to resolve a reference.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireResolveReference(XMLVerifierResolveReferenceEventParams *e);
typedef struct {

};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void ResolveReference(XMLVerifierResolveReferenceEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass XMLVerifier and override this emitter function. virtual int FireResolveReference(XMLVerifierResolveReferenceEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

This event is fired when the control could not automatically resolve a reference and requires custom treatment.

URI contains a reference to the data.

ReferenceIndex specifies the index of the reference to process.

Based on the reference's URI the event handler should set either TargetXMLElement or TargetData property of the reference.

SignatureFound Event (XMLVerifier Class)

Signifies the start of signature validation.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireSignatureFound(XMLVerifierSignatureFoundEventParams *e);
typedef struct {

  void SetValidateChain(bool bValidateChain);

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void SignatureFound(XMLVerifierSignatureFoundEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass XMLVerifier and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSignatureFound(XMLVerifierSignatureFoundEventParams *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 SignatureValidationResult and ChainValidationResult properties respectively.

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

SignatureValidated Event (XMLVerifier Class)

Marks the completion of the signature validation routine.

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.

svtValid0The signature is valid

svtUnknown1Signature validity is unknown

svtCorrupted2The signature is corrupted

svtSignerNotFound3Failed to acquire the signing certificate. The signature cannot be validated.

svtFailure4General failure

svtReferenceCorrupted5Reference corrupted (XML-based signatures only)

Certificate Type

Encapsulates an individual X.509 certificate.

Syntax

SecureBlackboxCertificate (declared in secureblackbox.h)

Remarks

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

The following fields are available:

Fields

Bytes
char* (read-only)

Default Value:

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

CA
int

Default Value: FALSE

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

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

CAKeyID
char* (read-only)

Default Value:

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

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

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

CertType
int (read-only)

Default Value: 0

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

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

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

CRLDistributionPoints
char*

Default Value: ""

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

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

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

Curve
char*

Default Value: ""

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

Fingerprint
char* (read-only)

Default Value: ""

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

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

FriendlyName
char* (read-only)

Default Value: ""

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

Handle
int64

Default Value: 0

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

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

HashAlgorithm
char*

Default Value: ""

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

Issuer
char* (read-only)

Default Value: ""

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

IssuerRDN
char*

Default Value: ""

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

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

KeyAlgorithm
char*

Default Value: "0"

Specifies the public key algorithm of this certificate.

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

KeyBits
int (read-only)

Default Value: 0

Returns the length of the public key in bits.

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

KeyFingerprint
char* (read-only)

Default Value: ""

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

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

KeyUsage
int

Default Value: 0

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

This value is a bit mask of the following values:

ckuUnknown0x00000Unknown key usage

ckuDigitalSignature0x00001Digital signature

ckuNonRepudiation0x00002Non-repudiation

ckuKeyEncipherment0x00004Key encipherment

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: ""

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.

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.

UseOCSPResponseObjectCaching:   Specifies whether reuse of loaded OCSP response objects is enabled.

This setting enables or disables the caching of OCSP response objects. When set to true (the default value), the system checks if a OCSP response object is already loaded in memory before attempting to load a new instance. If the object is found, the existing instance is reused, and its reference count is incremented to track its usage. When the reference count reaches zero, indicating that no references to the object remain, the system will free the object from memory. This setting enhances performance by minimizing unnecessary object instantiation and promotes efficient memory management, particularly in scenarios where OCSP response objects are frequently used.

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.
