Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public CertificateList KnownCertificates { get; }

Public Property KnownCertificates As CertificateList

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 component 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.

KnownCRLs Property (ASiCVerifier Component)

Additional CRLs for chain validation.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public CRLList KnownCRLs { get; }

Public Property KnownCRLs As CRLList

Remarks

Use this property to supply additional CRLs that might be needed for chain validation. This property may be helpful when a chain is validated in offline mode, and the associated CRLs are stored separately from the signed message or document.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public bool OfflineMode { get; set; }

Public Property OfflineMode As Boolean

Default Value

False

Remarks

When working in offline mode, the component restricts itself from using any online revocation information sources, such as CRL or OCSP responders.

Offline mode may be useful if there is a need to verify the completeness of the validation information included within the signature or provided via KnownCertificates, KnownCRLs, and other related properties.

OutputBytes Property (ASiCVerifier Component)

Use this property to read the output the component object has produced.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

Specifies a pre-defined profile to apply when creating the signature.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string Profile { get; set; }

Public Property Profile As String

Default Value

""

Remarks

Advanced signatures come in many variants, which are often defined by parties that needs to process them or by local standards. SecureBlackbox profiles are sets of pre-defined configurations which correspond to particular signature variants. By specifying a profile, you are pre-configuring the component to make it produce the signature that matches the configuration corresponding to that profile.

Proxy Property (ASiCVerifier Component)

The proxy server settings.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

  crcAuto
  crcAllCRL
  crcAllOCSP
  crcAllCRLAndOCSP
  crcAnyCRL
  crcAnyOCSP
  crcAnyCRLOrOCSP
  crcAnyOCSPOrCRL
End Enum

Default Value

1

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Signatures Property (ASiCVerifier Component)

Contains the list of signatures included in the ASiC container.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public ASiCSignatureList Signatures { get; }

Public ReadOnly Property Signatures As ASiCSignatureList

Timestamps Property (ASiCVerifier Component)

Contains a collection of timestamps for the processed document.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public TimestampInfoList Timestamps { get; }

Public ReadOnly Property Timestamps As TimestampInfoList

Remarks

Use this property to access the timestamps included in the processed document.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

TLSClientChain Property (ASiCVerifier Component)

The TLS client certificate chain.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public CertificateList TLSClientChain { get; }

Public Property TLSClientChain As CertificateList

Remarks

Assign a certificate chain to this property to enable TLS client authentication in the component. Note that the client's end-entity certificate should have a private key associated with it.

Use the CertificateStorage or CertificateManager components to import the certificate from a file, system store, or PKCS11 device.

This property is not available at design time.

TLSServerChain Property (ASiCVerifier Component)

The TLS server's certificate chain.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

TLSSettings Property (ASiCVerifier Component)

Manages TLS layer settings.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public TLSSettings TLSSettings { get; }

Public ReadOnly Property TLSSettings As TLSSettings

Remarks

Use this property to tune up the TLS layer parameters.

This property is read-only.

TrustedCertificates Property (ASiCVerifier Component)

A list of trusted certificates for chain validation.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public CertificateList TrustedCertificates { get; }

Public Property TrustedCertificates As CertificateList

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.

ValidationMoment Property (ASiCVerifier Component)

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

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string ValidationMoment { get; set; }

Public Property ValidationMoment As String

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.

Close Method (ASiCVerifier Component)

Closes an opened container.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void Close(bool saveChanges);

Public Sub Close(ByVal SaveChanges As Boolean)

Remarks

Config Method (ASiCVerifier Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string Config(string configurationString);

Public Function Config(ByVal ConfigurationString As String) As String

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the component.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, 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.

DoAction Method (ASiCVerifier Component)

Performs an additional action.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string DoAction(string actionID, string actionParams);

Public Function DoAction(ByVal ActionID As String, ByVal ActionParams As String) As String

Remarks

DoAction is a generic method available in every component. 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;....

ExtractFile Method (ASiCVerifier Component)

Open Method (ASiCVerifier Component)

Opens an existing container for signing or updating.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void Open();

Public Sub Open()

Remarks

Use this method to open a container for signing or updating. When finished, call Close to complete or discard the operation.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void Reset();

Public Sub Reset()

Remarks

Reset is a generic method available in every component.

Revalidate Method (ASiCVerifier Component)

• C#
• VB.NET

public void SelectInfo(string entityLabel, int infoType, bool clearSelection);

Public Sub SelectInfo(ByVal EntityLabel As String, ByVal InfoType As Integer, ByVal ClearSelection As Boolean)

Remarks

Use this method to select (or filter) signature-related information for a specific signature element.

Provide the unique label of the entity that you are interested in via the EntityLabel parameter. Use one of the following filters, or their combination, to specify what information you are interested in:

Following the call, the relevant pieces of information will be copied to the respective component properties (Certificates, CRLs, OCSPs). Note that you can accumulate information in the properties by making repeated calls to SelectInfo and keeping ClearSelection set to false.

This method is useful if you would like to read/display detailed information about a particular signature or timestamp.

Unsign Method (ASiCVerifier Component)

Deletes a signature from the container.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void Unsign(string sigLabel);

Public Sub Unsign(ByVal SigLabel As String)

Remarks

Use this method to delete an existing signature from the container. Use SigLabel parameter to specify the signature to be removed.

Verify Method (ASiCVerifier Component)

Verifies all signatures in the ASiC container.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void Verify();

Public Sub Verify()

Remarks

Use this method to verify the signature and any associated signed files residing in the ASiC container.

When processing the container, the verifier walks through all the signatures contained in the message, one after another.

For each signature, the SignatureFound event is thrown. The benefits of this are that it:

• Lets you know some basic details about the signature and its creator
• Allows you to tell the component whether or not you want to validate it and/or its signing certificate's chain
• Gives you a chance to provide any missing certificates (CertFound indicates whether you need to do that)

The control's properties remain assigned with the last processed signature's details, and are still available after the Verify() call returns, providing a handy way to work with single-signature containers.

Once the main signature's processing completes, the control proceeds to its subordinate elements (countersignatures and/or timestamps). Each timestamp is reported via TimestampValidated event.

Having reported all the countersignatures and timestamps, the control proceeds to the next main signature and any timestamps associated with it - and so on.

ChainElementDownload Event (ASiCVerifier Component)

Fires when there is a need to download a chain element from an online source.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public event OnChainElementDownloadHandler OnChainElementDownload;

Public Event OnFileExtractionStart As OnFileExtractionStartHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnFileExtractionStartHandler(sender As Object, e As ASiCVerifierFileExtractionStartEventArgs)

Public Class ASiCVerifierFileExtractionStartEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property FileName As String
  Public ReadOnly Property FileSize As Long
  Public ReadOnly Property ModDate As String
  Public Property Extract As Boolean
  Public Property DestFile As String
End Class

Remarks

This event fires for every file located in the archive and matching the ExtractionMode setting before it is to be extracted.

DestFile indicates the path where the file will be saved to. You can alter the destination path here, by providing an alternative extraction path.

Set DestFile to an empty string and provide a stream object via the OutputStream property if you prefer to save the data to a stream instead of file.

If DestFile is set to an empty string and OutputStream is unassigned, the file will not be extracted.

Alternatively, you can request the extracted content to be saved into a byte array. To do this, leave DestFile and OutputStream empty, and keep the Extract parameter enabled.

Please take care when extracting large files into byte arrays, as those may consume large amounts of memory.

Note: if DestFile already exists, the component will overwrite it. To prevent overwriting of existing files, subscribe to this event, and change DestFile when needed.

Notification Event (ASiCVerifier Component)

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

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public event OnNotificationHandler OnNotification;

public delegate void OnNotificationHandler(object sender, ASiCVerifierNotificationEventArgs e);

public class ASiCVerifierNotificationEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public string EventID { get; }
  public string EventParam { get; }
}

Public Event OnNotification As OnNotificationHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnNotificationHandler(sender As Object, e As ASiCVerifierNotificationEventArgs)

Public Class ASiCVerifierNotificationEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property EventID As String
  Public ReadOnly Property EventParam As String
End Class

Remarks

The component fires this event to let the application know about some event, occurrence, or milestone in the component. 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 component, the exact action it is performing, or the document being processed, one or both may be omitted.

This component can fire this event with the following EventID values:

SignatureFound Event (ASiCVerifier Component)

Signifies the start of signature validation.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public event OnSignatureFoundHandler OnSignatureFound;

public delegate void OnSignatureFoundHandler(object sender, ASiCVerifierSignatureFoundEventArgs e);

public class ASiCVerifierSignatureFoundEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public int Index { get; }
  public string EntityLabel { get; }
  public string IssuerRDN { get; }
  public byte[] SerialNumber { get; }
  public byte[] SubjectKeyID { get; }
  public bool CertFound { get; }
  public bool ValidateSignature { get; set; }
  public bool ValidateChain { get; set; }
}

Public Event OnSignatureFound As OnSignatureFoundHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnSignatureFoundHandler(sender As Object, e As ASiCVerifierSignatureFoundEventArgs)

Public Class ASiCVerifierSignatureFoundEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property Index As Integer
  Public ReadOnly Property EntityLabel As String
  Public ReadOnly Property IssuerRDN As String
  Public ReadOnly Property SerialNumber As Byte()
  Public ReadOnly Property SubjectKeyID As Byte()
  Public ReadOnly Property CertFound As Boolean
  Public Property ValidateSignature As Boolean
  Public Property ValidateChain As Boolean
End Class

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 component 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 (ASiCVerifier Component)

Marks the completion of the signature validation routine.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public event OnSignatureValidatedHandler OnSignatureValidated;

public delegate void OnSignatureValidatedHandler(object sender, ASiCVerifierSignatureValidatedEventArgs e);

public class ASiCVerifierSignatureValidatedEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public int Index { get; }
  public string EntityLabel { get; }
  public string IssuerRDN { get; }
  public byte[] SerialNumber { get; }
  public byte[] SubjectKeyID { get; }
  public int ValidationResult { get; }
  public bool Cancel { get; set; }
}

Public Event OnSignatureValidated As OnSignatureValidatedHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnSignatureValidatedHandler(sender As Object, e As ASiCVerifierSignatureValidatedEventArgs)

Public Class ASiCVerifierSignatureValidatedEventArgs Inherits EventArgs

  Public ReadOnly Property IssuerRDN As String
  Public ReadOnly Property SerialNumber As Byte()
  Public ReadOnly Property SubjectKeyID As Byte()
  Public ReadOnly Property ValidationResult As Integer
  Public Property Cancel As Boolean
End Class

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.

TimestampFound Event (ASiCVerifier Component)

Signifies the start of a timestamp validation routine.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public event OnTimestampFoundHandler OnTimestampFound;

public delegate void OnTimestampFoundHandler(object sender, ASiCVerifierTimestampFoundEventArgs e);

public class ASiCVerifierTimestampFoundEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public int Index { get; }
  public string EntityLabel { get; }
  public string IssuerRDN { get; }
  public byte[] SerialNumber { get; }
  public byte[] SubjectKeyID { get; }

The CertFound parameter is set to True if the component 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.

Just like with signature validation, timestamp validation consists of two independent stages: cryptographic signature validation and chain validation. Separate validation results are reported for each, with the ValidationResult and ChainValidationResult properties respectively.

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

TimestampValidated Event (ASiCVerifier Component)

Reports the completion of the timestamp validation routine.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

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

TLSCertNeeded Event (ASiCVerifier Component)

Fires when a remote TLS party requests a client certificate.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public event OnTLSCertNeededHandler OnTLSCertNeeded;

public delegate void OnTLSCertNeededHandler(object sender, ASiCVerifierTLSCertNeededEventArgs e);

public class ASiCVerifierTLSCertNeededEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public string Host { get; }
  public string CANames { get; }
}

Public Event OnTLSCertNeeded As OnTLSCertNeededHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnTLSCertNeededHandler(sender As Object, e As ASiCVerifierTLSCertNeededEventArgs)

Public Class ASiCVerifierTLSCertNeededEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property Host As String
  Public ReadOnly Property CANames As String
End Class

Remarks

This event fires to notify the implementation that a remote TLS server has requested a client certificate. The Host parameter identifies the host that makes a request, and the CANames parameter (optional, according to the TLS spec) advises on the accepted issuing CAs.

Use the TLSClientChain property in response to this event to provide the requested certificate. Please make sure the client certificate includes the associated private key. Note that you may set the certificates before the connection without waiting for this event to fire.

This event is preceded by the TLSHandshake event for the given host and, if the certificate was accepted, succeeded by the TLSEstablished event.

TLSCertValidate Event (ASiCVerifier Component)

This event is fired upon receipt of the TLS server's certificate, allowing the user to control its acceptance.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public event OnTLSCertValidateHandler OnTLSCertValidate;

public delegate void OnTLSCertValidateHandler(object sender, ASiCVerifierTLSCertValidateEventArgs e);

public class ASiCVerifierTLSCertValidateEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public string ServerHost { get; }
  public string ServerIP { get; }
  public bool Accept { get; set; }
}

Public Event OnTLSCertValidate As OnTLSCertValidateHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnTLSCertValidateHandler(sender As Object, e As ASiCVerifierTLSCertValidateEventArgs)

Public Class ASiCVerifierTLSCertValidateEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property ServerHost As String
  Public ReadOnly Property ServerIP As String
  Public Property Accept As Boolean
End Class

Remarks

This event is fired during a TLS handshake. Use the TLSServerChain property to access the certificate chain. In general, components may contact a number of TLS endpoints during their work, depending on their configuration.

Accept is assigned in accordance with the outcome of the internal validation check performed by the component, and can be adjusted if needed.

TLSEstablished Event (ASiCVerifier Component)

Fires when a TLS handshake with Host successfully completes.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public event OnTLSEstablishedHandler OnTLSEstablished;

public delegate void OnTLSEstablishedHandler(object sender, ASiCVerifierTLSEstablishedEventArgs e);

public class ASiCVerifierTLSEstablishedEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public string Host { get; }
  public string Version { get; }
  public string Ciphersuite { get; }
  public byte[] ConnectionId { get; }
  public bool Abort { get; set; }
}

Public Event OnTLSEstablished As OnTLSEstablishedHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnTLSEstablishedHandler(sender As Object, e As ASiCVerifierTLSEstablishedEventArgs)

Public Class ASiCVerifierTLSEstablishedEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property Host As String
  Public ReadOnly Property Version As String
  Public ReadOnly Property Ciphersuite As String
  Public ReadOnly Property ConnectionId As Byte()
  Public Property Abort As Boolean
End Class

Remarks

The component uses this event to notify the application about a successful completion of a TLS handshake.

The Version, Ciphersuite, and ConnectionId parameters indicate the security parameters of the new connection. Use the Abort parameter if you need to terminate the connection at this stage.

TLSHandshake Event (ASiCVerifier Component)

Fires when a new TLS handshake is initiated, before the handshake commences.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public event OnTLSHandshakeHandler OnTLSHandshake;

public delegate void OnTLSHandshakeHandler(object sender, ASiCVerifierTLSHandshakeEventArgs e);

public class ASiCVerifierTLSHandshakeEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public string Host { get; }
  public bool Abort { get; set; }
}

Public Event OnTLSHandshake As OnTLSHandshakeHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnTLSHandshakeHandler(sender As Object, e As ASiCVerifierTLSHandshakeEventArgs)

Public Class ASiCVerifierTLSHandshakeEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property Host As String
  Public Property Abort As Boolean
End Class

Remarks

The component uses this event to notify the application about the start of a new TLS handshake to Host. If the handshake is successful, this event will be followed by the TLSEstablished event. If the server chooses to request a client certificate, the TLSCertNeeded event will also be fired.

TLSShutdown Event (ASiCVerifier Component)

Reports the graceful closure of a TLS connection.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public event OnTLSShutdownHandler OnTLSShutdown;
