Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors

The SAMLReader component offers SAML message processing functionality

Syntax

nsoftware.SecureBlackbox.SAMLReader

Remarks

SAMLReader provides means for processing of SAML protocol messages and extraction of their elements. Together with SAMLWriter it provides fine-grained access to the contents of SAML messages. You may consider using these classes if functionality offered by SAMLIdPServer and SAMLSPServer is too high a level for your usage scenario.

SAMLReader and SAMLWriter are independent of SAML server controls, and focus on scenarios that require lower-level access to SAML messaging.

SAMLReader can process the following types of SAML messages:

AssertionIDRequest
SubjectQuery
AuthnQuery
AttributeQuery
AuthzDecisionQuery
AuthnRequest
ManageNameIDRequest
LogoutRequest
NameIDMappingRequest
ArtifactResolve
Response

Pass your SAML message to Open (or OpenStream) method. Upon processing, component will populate the elements of the message in the properties, such as Message and Response. More complex elements, such as assertions, require pinning with PinAssertion method to be populated in the object properties.

The snippet below shows how to use SAMLReader to process a message of the AuthnRequest type created by the matching SAMLReader example (or by any compatible SAML endpoint). The input SAML message has the following look: <samlp:AuthnRequest xmlns:saml="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion" ID="53GhrzQ5f89fu214ANAR" Version="2.0" IssueInstant="2021-12-15T10:39:31Z" Destination="http://destination-url.com" IsPassive="false" ProtocolBinding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST" AssertionConsumerServiceURL="https://assertion-consumer-url.com" AttributeConsumingServiceIndex="1" xmlns:samlp="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol"> <saml:Issuer Format="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:entity">https://issuer-url.com</saml:Issuer> <ds:Signature xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#"> <ds:SignedInfo> <ds:CanonicalizationMethod Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/xml-exc-c14n#"/> <ds:SignatureMethod Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmldsig-more#rsa-sha256"/> <ds:Reference URI="#53GhrzQ5f89fu214ANAR"> <ds:Transforms> <ds:Transform Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#enveloped-signature"/> <ds:Transform Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/xml-exc-c14n#"/> </ds:Transforms> <ds:DigestMethod Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#sha256"/><ds:DigestValue>+xhhgXtwYN0/r9h7WAwg=</ds:DigestValue> </ds:Reference> </ds:SignedInfo> <ds:SignatureValue> jfYeIq/z8D1tJZYbVqDMoqKpdrfGMj8/zI7gbUsJbECAr00cN34md2QG0mo4cOx7pny+5 Tht7tUzqENHqcZdmlOcZc2JcJqokVxIcLEluFiWKlNjpexkXFQKzOC1peRfTZm8SQTqtP Cz8IknLUc6Scfml29PHmks1PxjJDteGb/+FggsZRTGZC3a05nvH3ayvHukPeHuHssx5dX nj0quT8salR6fdx6lAJo/AnDHzcfBNyxAMn+ebk5VOOgVD1L3PayvXib/maj8aVI2I5UT o4vmfybTWKzeS8DX9We7UV+4Xowwe647t1A912xLVub/e23A18Yf1V0PXC87kttTkA== </ds:SignatureValue> <ds:KeyInfo> <ds:X509Data><ds:X509Certificate> MIIEKDCCAxCgAwIBAgIFYA3A3gIwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAwfjELMAkGA1UEBhMCVVMxC zAJBgNVBAgTAk5DMRQwEgYDVQQHEwtDaGFwZWwgSGlsbDEiMCAGCSqGSIb3DQEJARMTc2 FsZXNAbnNvZnR3YXJlLmNvbTEoMCYGA1UEAxMfU2VjdXJlQmxhY2tib3ggRGVtbyBDZXJ 0aWZpY2F0ZTAeFw0xNzA5MDEwMDAwMDBaFw0yMjA5MDEwMDAwMDBaMH4xCzAJBgNVBAYT AlVTMQswCQYDVQQIEwJOQzEUMBIGA1UEBxMLQ2hhcGVsIEhpbGwxIjAgBgkqhkiG9w0BC QETE3NhbGVzQG5zb2Z0d2FyZS5jb20xKDAmBgNVBAMTH1NlY3VyZUJsYWNrYm94IERlbW 8gQ2VydGlmaWNhdGUwggEiMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4IBDwAwggEKAoIBAQCfAVIcq9o eoIbw56LsPjxWsX3YGkqasBQzgQymhfcDZeSvFKFis8iqArGLTUUWOaImO5t2UmjIa+4n YP39hb9Z1r0CMy53p83oYbbZZ7qMeji0pMAufJHqKCN8t2HNWf2HE8S9UOU7R/UHdrSAN JitBKV9lSG9f450yWoGNwt35ZCsOp0zqtCgvkEvteGsz01R5DDjOccs3QNu25K/Sf27KP CYabS6A1ehYNY/G32qoKNJhu3DN4bWje57gBWi9WSfQ3tZUOV5q2ozaNJA78Wl4fXC6RB CaBh0GOwXeyZoH13LJdn+lqlCSMz024ImG4yFQEENbWvE9Elku8RYTn73AgMBAAGjgaww gakwHwYDVR0jBBgwFoAUmt/L7GI1SH36Sp8EUBxTwuzSgqMwHQYDVR0OBBYEFJrfy+xiN Uh9+kqfBFAcU8Ls0oKjMA8GA1UdEwEB/wQFMAMBAf8wDwYDVR0PAQH/BAUDAwDuADBFBg NVHSUEPjA8BggrBgEFBQcDAQYIKwYBBQUHAwIGCCsGAQUFBwMDBggrBgEFBQcDBAYIKwY BBQUHAwgGCCsGAQUFBwMJMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBCwUAA4IBAQBovHBbMsW/k/5iuLQQqsYS ng5X2iy1W+5BRb1hz0MGnHGLqJWy1ty5+bTo6g/zvT65dXIPIexLkInEenYSy75Lthr6a ewUcvwfl1TYXjWlMD5Nm5pM9As71+XsGSdYGXoKohbEzbT6RDByjwR+yxtatqko7e1Eg6 InNJRTRt7al/63FSPEgSCqOX6asDVDNZ83db0dOcoeaPEiDz3liE3+tYHtKXj5/qwTtYd aqBZxdJfuCKZveEFe1DO3/ayDvIvG9Eme+rEjntErF+Cw9a8ukesvDuT49cRE9oTs3O7f 6LUbhCv5zJN+dTFr75NSdWdp4yvn3nK3i2udeMnTWK0U </ds:X509Certificate></ds:X509Data> </ds:KeyInfo> </ds:Signature> <samlp:NameIDPolicy Format="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent"/> <saml:Conditions NotBefore="2021-12-15T10:39:31Z" NotOnOrAfter="2021-12-15T11:09:31Z"><saml:OneTimeUse/></saml:Conditions> </samlp:AuthnRequest> You can process this message and access its properties with the following code: Samlreader reader = new Samlreader(); reader.ValidateSignatures = true; reader.Open(req); Log("SAML document loaded.

Encrypted Event (SAMLReader Component)

Notifies the application that the assertion is encrypted and provides recipient certificate details.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public event OnEncryptedHandler OnEncrypted;

public delegate void OnEncryptedHandler(object sender, SAMLReaderEncryptedEventArgs e);

public class SAMLReaderEncryptedEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public string IssuerRDN { get; }
  public byte[] SerialNumber { get; }
  public byte[] SubjectKeyID { get; }
  public bool NeedCredential { get; }
  public bool SkipThis { get; set; }
}

Public Event OnEncrypted As OnEncryptedHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnEncryptedHandler(sender As Object, e As SAMLReaderEncryptedEventArgs)

Public Class SAMLReaderEncryptedEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property IssuerRDN As String
  Public ReadOnly Property SerialNumber As Byte()
  Public ReadOnly Property SubjectKeyID As Byte()
  Public ReadOnly Property NeedCredential As Boolean
  Public Property SkipThis As Boolean
End Class

Remarks

The component fires this event when processing encrypted documents to report the fact of encryption and pass certificate parameters to the user.

This event fires repeatedly for each encryption mechanism used in the document until the user provides the correct credential via the DecryptionCertificate property (depending on encryption method used), or sets SkipThis to true.

The IssuerRDN, SerialNumber, and SubjectKeyID parameters provide the details of the encryption certificate. Note that the document can be encrypted with more than one certificate (or have "more than one recipient"), in which case each certificate will invoke its own OnEncrypted event loop.

The NeedCredential parameter specifies whether the correct credential is already available to the component or still needs to be set. One example where NeedCredential would be set to false is where it had been provided by the application prior to processing the document (e.g. by setting the DecryptionCertificate property to a known pre-defined value). If NeedCredential is set to true, you must provide the valid credential for the decryption process to succeed.

Error Event (SAMLReader Component)

Fires to report an error condition.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public event OnErrorHandler OnError;

public delegate void OnErrorHandler(object sender, SAMLReaderErrorEventArgs e);

public class SAMLReaderErrorEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public int ErrorCode { get; }
  public string Description { get; }
}

Public Event OnError As OnErrorHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnErrorHandler(sender As Object, e As SAMLReaderErrorEventArgs)

Public Class SAMLReaderErrorEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property ErrorCode As Integer
  Public ReadOnly Property Description As String
End Class

Remarks

Subscribe to this event to be notified about any error conditions occurring during the component's work. ErrorCode and Description provide the details of the error.

Notification Event (SAMLReader 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, SAMLReaderNotificationEventArgs e);

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

Public Event OnNotification As OnNotificationHandler

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

Public Class SAMLReaderNotificationEventArgs 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.

SignatureFound Event (SAMLReader Component)

Signifies the start of signature validation.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public event OnSignatureFoundHandler OnSignatureFound;

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

public class SAMLReaderSignatureFoundEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public int Scope { get; }
  public string IssuerRDN { get; }
  public byte[] SerialNumber { get; }
  public byte[] SubjectKeyID { get; }
  public bool CertFound { get; }
  public bool Validate { get; set; }
}

Public Event OnSignatureFound As OnSignatureFoundHandler

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

Public Class SAMLReaderSignatureFoundEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property Scope As Integer
  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 Validate 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 message.

The Scope parameter specifies the subject of the signature. This can be the outermost SAML message or an embedded assertion.


sssUnknown	`0`	The scope of signature is unknown
sssMessage	`1`	The signature covers the entire SAML message
sssAssertion	`2`	The signature covers an assertion
sssBinding	`3`	The signature covers the binding

The details of the reported signature are populated in the Security object. For assertion signatures, you can update the details by pinning the assertion.

The CertFound 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 KnownCertificates property.

Signature validation consists of two independent stages: cryptographic signature validation and chain validation. SAMLReader only supports signature validation. To validate the chain, grab the signing certificate from the SigningCertificate property and the associated certificates from the Certificates collection, and pass them to the CertificateValidator component to validate its chain.

Use the Validate parameter to tell the reader whether it should validate the signature.

SignatureValidated Event (SAMLReader Component)

Reports the signature validation result.

Syntax

C#
VB.NET

public event OnSignatureValidatedHandler OnSignatureValidated;

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

public class SAMLReaderSignatureValidatedEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public int Scope { get; }
  public string IssuerRDN { get; }
  public byte[] SerialNumber { get; }
  public byte[] SubjectKeyID { get; }
  public int ValidationResult { get; set; }
}

Public Event OnSignatureValidated As OnSignatureValidatedHandler

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

Public Class SAMLReaderSignatureValidatedEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property Scope As Integer
  Public ReadOnly Property IssuerRDN As String
  Public ReadOnly Property SerialNumber As Byte()
  Public ReadOnly Property SubjectKeyID As Byte()
  Public Property ValidationResult As Integer
End Class

Remarks

This event is fired when the complete XML signature validation process is finished.

The Scope parameter specifies the subject of the signature. This can be the outermost SAML message or an embedded assertion.


sssUnknown	`0`	The scope of signature is unknown
sssMessage	`1`	The signature covers the entire SAML message
sssAssertion	`2`	The signature covers an assertion
sssBinding	`3`	The signature covers the binding

IssuerRDN returns the name of the signature issuer, SerialNumber identifies the signing certificate, SubjectKeyID contains the key identifier (SecureBlackbox uses SHA-1 hash algorithm output as key identifiers). Finally, ValidationResult specifies whether signature is valid or not:


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.

Remarks

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

The following fields are available:

Fields

Bytes
byte[] (read-only)
Default: ""

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

CA
bool
Default: 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
byte[] (read-only)
Default: ""

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
CertTypes (read-only)
Default: 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 component to load or create new certificate and certificate requests objects.

CRLDistributionPoints
string
Default: ""

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
string
Default: ""

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

Fingerprint
string (read-only)
Default: ""

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
string (read-only)
Default: ""

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.

HashAlgorithm
string
Default: ""

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.

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

KeyBits
int (read-only)
Default: 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
string (read-only)
Default: ""

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: 0

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

This value is a bit mask of the following values:


ckuUnknown	`0x00000`	Unknown key usage
ckuDigitalSignature	`0x00001`	Digital signature
ckuNonRepudiation	`0x00002`	Non-repudiation
ckuKeyEncipherment	`0x00004`	Key encipherment
ckuDataEncipherment	`0x00008`	Data encipherment
ckuKeyAgreement	`0x00010`	Key agreement
ckuKeyCertSign	`0x00020`	Certificate signing
ckuCRLSign	`0x00040`	Revocation signing
ckuEncipherOnly	`0x00080`	Encipher only
ckuDecipherOnly	`0x00100`	Decipher only
ckuServerAuthentication	`0x00200`	Server authentication
ckuClientAuthentication	`0x00400`	Client authentication
ckuCodeSigning	`0x00800`	Code signing
ckuEmailProtection	`0x01000`	Email protection
ckuTimeStamping	`0x02000`	Timestamping
ckuOCSPSigning	`0x04000`	OCSP signing
ckuSmartCardLogon	`0x08000`	Smartcard logon
ckuKeyPurposeClientAuth	`0x10000`	Kerberos - client authentication
ckuKeyPurposeKDC	`0x20000`	Kerberos - KDC

Set this field before generating the certificate to propagate the key usage flags to the new certificate.

KeyValid
bool (read-only)
Default: False

Returns True if the certificate's key is cryptographically valid, and False otherwise.

OCSPLocations
string
Default: ""

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
bool
Default: False

Accessor to the value of the certificate's ocsp-no-check extension.

Origin
int (read-only)
Default: 0

Returns the location that the certificate was taken or loaded from.

PolicyIDs
string
Default: ""

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
byte[] (read-only)
Default: ""

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
bool (read-only)
Default: 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
bool (read-only)
Default: False

Indicates whether the private key is extractable (exportable).

PublicKeyBytes
byte[] (read-only)
Default: ""

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
bool (read-only)
Default: 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
QualifiedStatementsTypes
Default: 0

Returns a simplified qualified status of the certificate.

Qualifiers
string (read-only)
Default: ""

A list of qualifiers.

Contains a comma-separated list of qualifier aliases for the certificate, for example QCP-n-qscd,QCWithSSCD.

SelfSigned
bool (read-only)
Default: False

Indicates whether the certificate is self-signed (root) or signed by an external CA.

SerialNumber
byte[]
Default: ""

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
string (read-only)
Default: ""

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
PKISources (read-only)
Default: 0

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

Subject
string (read-only)
Default: ""

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
string
Default: ""

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
byte[]
Default: ""

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
string
Default: ""

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
bool (read-only)
Default: 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
string
Default: ""

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

ValidTo
string
Default: ""

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

Fingerprint
string (read-only)
Default: ""

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

ID
byte[]
Default: ""

Provides access to a storage-specific key identifier. Key identifiers are used by cryptographic providers to refer to a particular key and/or distinguish between different keys. They are typically unique within a storage, but there is no guarantee that a particular cryptoprovider will conform to that (or will assign any key IDs at all).

IV
byte[]
Default: ""

byte[] (read-only)
Default: ""

The byte array representation of the key. This may not be available for non-Exportable keys.

Nonce
byte[]
Default: ""

A nonce value associated with a key. It is similar to IV, but its only purpose is to introduce randomness.

Private

Default: False

Returns True if the object hosts a private key, and False otherwise.

Public
bool (read-only)
Default: False

Returns True if the object hosts a public key, and False otherwise.

Subject
byte[]

Symmetric
bool (read-only)
Default: False

Returns True if the object contains a symmetric key, and False otherwise.

Valid
bool (read-only)
Default: False

Returns True if this key is valid. The term Valid highly depends on the kind of the key being stored. A symmetric key is considered valid if its length fits the algorithm being set. The validity of an RSA key also ensures that the RSA key elements (primes, exponents, and modulus) are consistent.

ClientAuth
ClientAuthTypes
Default: 0

Enables or disables certificate-based client authentication.

Set this property to true to tune up the client authentication type:


ccatNoAuth	`0`
ccatRequestCert	`1`
ccatRequireCert	`2`

ECCurves
string
Default: ""

Defines the elliptic curves to enable.

Extensions
string
Default: ""

Provides access to TLS extensions.

ForceResumeIfDestinationChanges
bool
Default: False

Whether to force TLS session resumption when the destination address changes.

PreSharedIdentity
string
Default: ""

Defines the identity used when the PSK (Pre-Shared Key) key-exchange mechanism is negotiated.

PreSharedKey
string
Default: ""

Contains the pre-shared key for the PSK (Pre-Shared Key) key-exchange mechanism, encoded with base16.

PreSharedKeyCiphersuite
string
Default: ""

Defines the ciphersuite used for PSK (Pre-Shared Key) negotiation.

RenegotiationAttackPreventionMode
RenegotiationAttackPreventionModes
Default: 2

Selects the renegotiation attack prevention mechanism.

The following options are available:


crapmCompatible	`0`	TLS 1.0 and 1.1 compatibility mode (renegotiation indication extension is disabled).
crapmStrict	`1`	Renegotiation attack prevention is enabled and enforced.
crapmAuto	`2`	Automatically choose whether to enable or disable renegotiation attack prevention.

RevocationCheck
RevocationCheckKinds
Default: 1

Specifies the kind(s) of revocation check to perform.

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

public TLSSettings();

Public TLSSettings()

Creates a new TLSSettings object.

Config Settings (SAMLReader Component)

The component 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 component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

SAMLReader Config Settings

Body: TBD.

TBD

EncryptionCert: TBD.

TBD

EncryptionSubjectRDN: TBD.

TBD

Base Config Settings

ASN1UseGlobalTagCache: Controls whether ASN.1 module should use a global object cache.

This is a performance setting. It is unlikely that you will ever need to adjust it.

AssignSystemSmartCardPins: Specifies whether CSP-level PINs should be assigned to CNG keys.

This is a low-level tweak for certain cryptographic providers. It is unlikely that you will ever need to adjust it.

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 component.

Supported values are:


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

Cookies: Gets or sets local cookies for the component.

Use this property to get cookies from the internal cookie storage of the component 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.

DNSLocalSuffix: The suffix to assign for TLD names.

Use this global setting to adjust the default suffix to assign to top-level domain names. The default is .local.

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 components that have its CookieCaching property set to "global".

HardwareCryptoUsePolicy: The hardware crypto usage policy.

This global setting controls the hardware cryptography usage policy: auto, enable, or disable.

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 components.

HttpVersion: The HTTP version to use in any inner HTTP client components created.

Set this property to 1.0 or 1.1 to indicate the HTTP version that any internal HTTP clients should use.

IgnoreExpiredMSCTLSigningCert: Whether to tolerate the expired Windows Update signing certificate.

It is not uncommon for Microsoft Windows Update Certificate Trust List to be signed with an expired Microsoft certificate. Setting this global property to true makes SBB ignore the expired factor and take the Trust List into account.

ListDelimiter: The delimiter character for multi-element lists.

Allows to set the delimiter for any multi-entry values returned by the component as a string object, such as file lists. For most of the components, this property is set to a newline sequence.

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.

OldClientSideRSAFallback: Specifies whether the SSH client should use a SHA1 fallback.

Tells the SSH client to use a legacy ssh-rsa authentication even if the server indicates support for newer algorithms, such as rsa-sha-256. This is a backward-compatibility tweak.

ProductVersion: Returns the version of the SecureBlackbox library.

This property returns the long version string of the SecureBlackbox library being used (major.minor.build.revision).

ServerSSLDHKeyLength: Sets the size of the TLS DHE key exchange group.

Use this property to adjust the length, in bits, of the DHE prime to be used by the TLS server.

StaticDNS: Specifies whether static DNS rules should be used.

Set this property to enable or disable static DNS rules for the component. 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 component) 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 component is set to "local", the property returns/restores the rules from/to the internal storage of the component. If StaticDNS of the component 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 components.

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).

UseInternalRandom: Switches between SecureBlackbox-own and platform PRNGs.

Allows to switch between internal/native PRNG implementation and the one provided by the platform.

UseLegacyAdESValidation: Enables legacy AdES validation mode.

Use this setting to switch the AdES component to the validation approach that was used in SBB 2020/SBB 2022 (less attention to temporal details).

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.

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.
