The TLSServer module implements server-side functionality of the TLS protocol. In the TLS-disabled mode it works as a plain TCP server.

Syntax

SecureBlackbox.TLSServer

Remarks

Use this component to accept TLS-encrypted or plain TCP connections in your application.

Follow the below steps to set up and run the server in your code:

  • Create an instance of the server component and set up the license, if assumed by the edition you are using: var server = new Tlsserver(); server.RuntimeLicense = "5342..0000";
  • Set up the listening port (make sure it is not in use): server.Port = 3456;
  • Tell the component whether TLS connections should be enforced: server.UseTLS = false; // set to true to enable TLS
  • (TLS-enabled servers only) Configure TLS parameters. The exact way of doing that may vary for different scenarios and security requirements. At the very least you need to set up the certificate chain that the server will use to authenticate itself to connecting clients. If you don"t, the component will generate a dummy certificate itself, however, that certificate is unlikely to pass any security requirements. It will let you accept test connections though.

    Below is an example of tuning up the TLS parameters of the server: // *** Switching TLS on and enabling the implicit mode *** server.UseTLS = true; server.TLSSettings.TLSMode = smImplicitTLS; // Loading the certificate chain var mgr = new Certificatemanager(); mgr.RuntimeLicense = "5342..0000"; // *** Setting up the host certificate *** // - it should be issued in the name that matches the hostname (such as domain.com) or its IP address (1.2.3.4), // - it must have an associated private key - so likely is provided in PFX or PEM format. mgr.ImportFromFile("CertTLSServer.pfx", "password"); server.ServerCertificates.Add(mgr.Certificate); // The CA certificate: this is to help connecting clients validate the chain. mgr.ImportFromFile("CertCA.cer", ""); server.ServerCertificates.Add(mgr.Certificate); // *** Adjusting finer-grained TLS settings *** // - session resumption (allows for faster handshakes for connections from the same origin) server.TLSSettings.UseSessionResumption = true; // - secure configuration server.TLSSettings.BaseConfiguration = stpcHighlySecure; // - disabling a cipher suite we dislike (just because we can): server.TLSSettings.Ciphersuites = "-DHE_RSA_AES128_SHA" // *** Configuring versions *** // The default version setting at the time of writing (May 2021) is TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3, // but that may change in future versions. The following tune-up additionally activates TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.0, // which weakens security, but may be necessary to accept connections from older clients: server.TLSSettings.Versions = csbTLS1 | csbTLS11 | csbTLS12 | csbTLS13;

  • Now that your server has been fully set up, activate it: server.Start();
  • Once the Start call completes, your server can accept connections from clients. Each accepted connection runs in a separate thread, not interfering with each other or your own threads. The server communicates its ongoing activities to your application by throwing events:
    • Accept to notify you about a new incoming connection. This event lets you accept or reject it.
    • Connect to notify your code of an accepted connection. This event introduces a ConnectionID, a unique identifier that you can use to track the connection throughout its lifetime.
    • Disconnect to notify you that a connection has been closed.
    • TLSEstablished and TLSShutdown to let you know that a TLS layer has been activated/deactivated.
    • Data to notify you about a piece of data received from the remote side.
    • Error to report a protocol or other error.
    • CertificateValidate to communicate the client authentication event to your code. To access the certificate(s) provided by the authenticating client, pin the client and use the PinnedClientChain property to access its chain: server.PinClient(e.ConnectionID); e.Accept = CheckCert(server.PinnedClientChain);

    Note: every such event is thrown from the respective connection thread, so make sure you use some synchronization mechanism when dispatching the events to your UI thread - for example, by updating UI controls by sending a Window Message rather than accessing the controls directly.

    Use SendData and SendText to send data back to a client. When sending data, provide the ConnectionID that is associated with that client. Call DropClient to terminate a client connection.

  • To stop the server, call Stop: server.Stop();

TLSServer and SSLLabs

Qualys SSLLabs (https://www.ssllabs.com/) has been long known as a comprehensive TLS site quality checking tool. It is now a de-facto standard and a sign of good taste to aspire for the best SSLLabs test result for your web presence. SecureBlackbox developers share that effort and want to help their customers build secure TLS endpoints that can be independently endorsed by third-party evaluators like SSLLabs.

Having said that, when assessing SecureBlackbox TLS-capable servers that are configured to use their default setup, you will often end up with a lower SSLLabs score than you could have. There is a simple reason for that. Being a vendor of a library used by thousands of customers, we have to find a delicate balance between security, compatibility, and keeping class contracts rolling from one product build to another. This makes the default configuration of the components not the strongest possible. To put it simple, we could easily make the default component setup bulletproof - but having done that, we would have likely ended up with hundreds of customers stuck with legacy environments (and there are a lot of them around) losing their connectivity.

If you are looking at achieving the best score at SSLLabs, please read on. The below guidance aims to help you tune up the server component in the way that should give you an A score.

First, switch your server to the highly secure base configuration: server.TLSSettings.BaseConfiguration = stpcHighlySecure; This should immediately give you an A, or a T if your server certificate does not chain up to a trusted anchor.

Some warnings will still be included in the report. One of those is related to the session resumption. It is normally shown in orange:

Session resumption (caching): No (IDs assigned but not accepted)

This literally means that the server is not configured to re-use older sessions, which may put extra computational burden on clients and itself. Use the following setting to enable session caching: server.TLSSettings.UseSessionResumption = true;

Besides, the report may show that there are some weak ciphersuites. All of those should be shown in orange (there should not be any reds; if there are - please let us know), which means they are only relatively weak. While switching them off may affect the interoperability level of the server, you may still want to do that. By using the below approach you can disable individual ciphersuites selectively. For example, if the report shows that TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES128_CBC_SHA256 and TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES256_CBC_SHA256 are weak (because of their CBC mode), you can disable them in the following way: server.TLSSettings.Ciphersuites = '-DHE_RSA_AES128_SHA256;-DHE_RSA_AES256_SHA256'; Note that SBB uses slightly different, simpler naming convention by dropping unnecessart WITH and CBC. Let us know if you have difficulties matching the cipher suite names.

Default Value

80

Remarks

Use this property to specify the port number to listen to connections on. Standard port numbers are 80 for an HTTP server, and 443 for an HTTPS server.

Alternatively, you may specify the acceptable range of listening ports via PortRangeFrom and PortRangeTo properties. In this case the port will be allocated within the requested range by the operating system, and reported in BoundPort.

0

Remarks

Use this property to specify the lower limit of the port range to listen to connections on. When a port range is used to specify the listening port (as opposed to a fixed value provided via Port), the port will be allocated within the requested range by the operating system, and reported in BoundPort.

Note that this property is ignored if the Port property is set to a non-zero value, in which case the server always aims to listen on that fixed port.

PortRangeTo Property (TLSServer Module)

Specifies the upper limit of the listening port range for incoming connections.

Syntax

public var portRangeTo: Int32 {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=portRangeTo,setter=setPortRangeTo:) int portRangeTo;

- (int)portRangeTo;
- (void)setPortRangeTo :(int)newPortRangeTo;

Default Value

0

Remarks

Use this property to specify the upper limit of the port range to listen to connections on. When a port range is used to specify the listening port (as opposed to a fixed value provided via Port), the port will be allocated within the requested range by the operating system, and reported in BoundPort.

Note that this property is ignored if the Port property is set to a non-zero value, in which case the server always aims to listen on that fixed port.

SessionTimeout Property (TLSServer Module)

Specifies the default session timeout value in milliseconds.

Syntax

public var sessionTimeout: Int32 {
  get {...}

Default Value

"secureblackbox"

Remarks

TLSServerChain Property (TLSServer Module)

The server's TLS certificates.

Syntax

public var tlsServerChain: Array<Certificate> {
  get {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=TLSServerCertCount,setter=setTLSServerCertCount:) int TLSServerCertCount;

- (int)TLSServerCertCount;
- (void)setTLSServerCertCount :(int)newTLSServerCertCount;

- (void)setTLSServerCertHandle:(int)tLSServerCertIndex :(long long)newTLSServerCertHandle;

Default Value

"secureblackbox"

Remarks

Use this property to provide a list of TLS certificates for the server endpoint.

A TLS endpoint needs a certificate to be able to accept TLS connections. At least one of the certificates in the collection - the endpoint certificate - must have a private key associated with it.

The collection may include more than one endpoint certificate, and more than one chain. A typical usage scenario is to include two chains (ECDSA and RSA), to cater for clients with different cipher suite preferences.

Remarks

Call this method to send Text to all active client connections except for ConnectionID. Set ConnectionID to -1 to broadcast to all connections without exceptions.

Cleanup Method (TLSServer Module)

Cleans up the server environment by purging expired sessions and cleaning caches.

Syntax

public func cleanup() throws -> Void
- (void)cleanup;

Remarks

Call this method while the server is active to clean up the environment allocated for the server by releasing unused resources and cleaning caches.

Config Method (TLSServer Module)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

public func config(configurationString: String) throws -> String
- (NSString*)config:(NSString*)configurationString;

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.

DoAction Method (TLSServer Module)

Performs an additional action.

Syntax

public func doAction(actionID: String, actionParams: String) throws -> String
- (NSString*)doAction:(NSString*)actionID :(NSString*)actionParams;

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;....

DropClient Method (TLSServer Module)

Terminates a client connection.

Syntax

public func dropClient(connectionId: Int64, forced: Bool) throws -> Void
- (void)dropClient:(long long)connectionId :(BOOL)forced;

Remarks

Call this method to shut down a connected client. Forced indicates whether the connection should be closed in a graceful manner.

ExportKeyMaterial Method (TLSServer Module)

Derives key material from the session's master key using the TLS exporters scheme.

Syntax

public func exportKeyMaterial(connectionID: Int64, lbl: String, context: Data, len: Int32) throws -> Void
- (void)exportKeyMaterial:(long long)connectionID :(NSString*)lbl :(NSData*)context :(int)len;

Remarks

Some protocols - for example, SRTP - use the TLS exporters scheme to derive their own session keys from the TLS master key. This method lets you employ exporters to obtain such keys, or to generate secure keys for your own needs from an active TLS session.

The exported keys depend on the master key, and are different for every TLS session. However, a client and server sharing a session will always end up with the same key material, as long as they use the same values of Lbl, Context, and Len.

Use the ConnectionID parameter to specify the session that you would like to derive key material from.

ListClients Method (TLSServer Module)

Enumerates the connected clients.

Syntax

public func listClients() throws -> String

Sends a keep-alive packet.

Syntax

public func sendKeepAlive(connectionId: Int64) throws -> Void
- (void)sendKeepAlive:(long long)connectionId;

Remarks

Use this method to send a keep-alive packet to a client. Keep alive is an empty packet; keep-alive signals sent occasionally can be used to keep connection up.

SendText Method (TLSServer Module)

Sends a text string to a client.

Syntax

public func sendText(connectionId: Int64, text: String) throws -> Void
- (void)sendText:(long long)connectionId :(NSString*)text;

Reports an incoming connection.

Syntax

func onAccept(remoteAddress: String, remotePort: Int32, accept: inout Bool)
- (void)onAccept:(NSString*)remoteAddress :(int)remotePort :(int*)accept;

Remarks

This event is fired when a new connection from RemoteAddress:RemotePort is ready to be accepted. Use the Accept parameter to accept or decline it.

Subscribe to Connect event to be notified of every connection that has been set up.

Connect Event (TLSServer Module)

Reports an accepted connection.

Syntax

func onConnect(connectionID: Int64, remoteAddress: String, remotePort: Int32)
- (void)onConnect:(long long)connectionID :(NSString*)remoteAddress :(int)remotePort;

Remarks

The class fires this event to report that a new connection has been established. ConnectionId indicates the unique ID assigned to this connection. The same ID will be supplied to any other events related to this connection, such as TLSHandshake or Data.

Data Event (TLSServer Module)

Supplies a data chunk received from a client.

Syntax

func onData(connectionID: Int64, buffer: Data)
- (void)onData:(long long)connectionID :(NSData*)buffer;

Remarks

This event is fired to supply another piece of data received from a client. This event may fire multiple times.

Disconnect Event (TLSServer Module)

Fires to report a disconnected client.

Syntax

func onDisconnect(connectionID: Int64)
- (void)onDisconnect:(long long)connectionID;

Remarks

The class fires this event when a connected client disconnects.

Error Event (TLSServer Module)

ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the HTTPS section.

ExternalSign Event (TLSServer Module)

Handles remote or external signing initiated by the server protocol.

Syntax

func onExternalSign(connectionID: Int64, operationId: String, hashAlgorithm: String, pars: String, data: String, signedData: inout String)
- (void)onExternalSign:(long long)connectionID :(NSString*)operationId :(NSString*)hashAlgorithm :(NSString*)pars :(NSString*)data :(NSString**)signedData;

Remarks

Assign a handler to this event if you need to delegate a low-level signing operation to an external, remote, or custom signing engine. Depending on the settings, the handler will receive a hashed or unhashed value to be signed.

The event handler must pass the value of Data to the signer, obtain the signature, and pass it back to the class via the SignedData parameter.

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

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

A sample MD5 hash encoded in base16: a0dee2a0382afbb09120ffa7ccd8a152 - lower case base16 A0DEE2A0382AFBB09120FFA7CCD8A152 - upper case base16

A sample event handler that uses the .NET RSACryptoServiceProvider class may look like the following: signer.OnExternalSign += (s, e) => { var cert = new X509Certificate2("cert.pfx", "", X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable); var key = (RSACryptoServiceProvider)cert.PrivateKey; var dataToSign = e.Data.FromBase16String(); var signedData = key.SignHash(dataToSign, "2.16.840.1.101.3.4.2.1"); e.SignedData = signedData.ToBase16String(); };

Notification Event (TLSServer Module)

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

Syntax

func onNotification(eventID: String, eventParam: String)
- (void)onNotification:(NSString*)eventID :(NSString*)eventParam;

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:

ListeningStartedNotifies the application that the server has started listening for incoming connections.
ListeningStoppedNotifies the application that the server has stopped listening to incoming connections.

TLSCertValidate Event (TLSServer Module)

Fires when a client certificate needs to be validated.

Syntax

func onTLSCertValidate(connectionID: Int64, accept: inout Bool)
- (void)onTLSCertValidate:(long long)connectionID :(int*)accept;

Remarks

The class fires this event to notify the application of an authenticating client. Use the event handler to validate the certificate and pass your decision back to the server component via the Accept parameter.

TLSEstablished Event (TLSServer Module)

Reports the setup of a TLS session.

Syntax

func onTLSEstablished(connectionID: Int64)
- (void)onTLSEstablished:(long long)connectionID;

Remarks

Subscribe to this event to be notified about the setup of a TLS connection by a connected client.

TLSHandshake Event (TLSServer Module)

Fires when a newly established client connection initiates a TLS handshake.

Syntax

func onTLSHandshake(connectionID: Int64, serverName: String, abort: inout Bool)
- (void)onTLSHandshake:(long long)connectionID :(NSString*)serverName :(int*)abort;

Remarks

Use this event to get notified about the initiation of the TLS handshake by the remote client. The ServerName parameter specifies the requested host from the client hello message.

TLSPSK Event (TLSServer Module)

Requests a pre-shared key for TLS-PSK.

Syntax

func onTLSPSK(connectionID: Int64, identity: String, psk: inout String, ciphersuite: inout String)
- (void)onTLSPSK:(long long)connectionID :(NSString*)identity :(NSString**)PSK :(NSString**)ciphersuite;

Remarks

The class fires this event to report that a client has requested a TLS-PSK negotiation. ConnectionId indicates the unique connection ID that requested the PSK handshake.

Use Identity to look up for the corresponding pre-shared key in the server's database, then assign the key to the PSK parameter. If TLS 1.3 PSK is used, you will also need to assign the Ciphersuite parameter with the cipher suite associated with that identity and their key.

TLSShutdown Event (TLSServer Module)

Reports closure of a TLS session.

Syntax

func onTLSShutdown(connectionID: Int64)
- (void)onTLSShutdown:(long long)connectionID;

Remarks

The class fires this event when a connected client closes their TLS session gracefully. This event is typically followed by a Disconnect, which marks the closure of the underlying TCP session.

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
Data (read-only)

Default Value: ""

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

ca
Bool

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 property when generating a new certificate to have its Basic Constraints extension generated automatically.

caKeyID
Data (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 setting, and for lower-level certificates, from the parent certificate's subject key ID extension.

certType
CertTypes (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
String

Default Value: ""

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

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

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

curve
String

Default Value: ""

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 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
String (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
String

Default Value: ""

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

Use the , , and properties to get more details about the key the certificate contains.

keyBits
Int32 (read-only)

Default Value: 0

Returns the length of the public key in bits.

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

keyFingerprint
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

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

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

keyUsage
Int32

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

ckuDataEncipherment0x00008Data 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 property before generating the certificate to propagate the key usage flags to the new certificate.

keyValid
Bool (read-only)

Default Value: False

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

ocspLocations
String

Default Value: ""

Locations of OCSP services that can be used to check this certificate's validity in real time, as recorded by the CA.

Set this property before calling the certificate manager's Generate method to propagate it to the new certificate.

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

ocspNoCheck
Bool

Default Value: False

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

origin
Int32 (read-only)

Default Value: 0

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

policyIDs
String

Default Value: ""

Contains identifiers (OIDs) of the applicable certificate policies.

The Certificate Policies extension identifies a sequence of policies under which the certificate has been issued, and which regulate its usage.

Set this property when generating a certificate to propagate the policies information to the new certificate.

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

privateKeyBytes
Data (read-only)

Default Value: ""

Returns the certificate's private key in DER-encoded format. It is normal for this property to be empty if the private key is non-exportable, which, for example, is typical for certificates originating from hardware security devices.

privateKeyExists
Bool (read-only)

Default Value: False

Indicates whether the certificate has a usable private key associated with it. If it is set to True, the certificate can be used for private key operations, such as signing or decryption.

This property is independent from , and can be set to True even if the former is empty. This would imply that the private key is non-exportable, but still can be used for cryptographic operations.

privateKeyExtractable
Bool (read-only)

Default Value: False

Indicates whether the private key is extractable (exportable).

publicKeyBytes
Data (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
Bool (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
QualifiedStatementsTypes

Default Value: 0

Returns a simplified qualified status of the certificate.

qualifiers
String (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
Bool (read-only)

Default Value: False

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

serialNumber
Data

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
String (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
PKISources (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
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

The common name of the certificate holder, typically an individual's name, a URL, an e-mail address, or a company name. This is part of a larger set of credentials available via .

subjectAlternativeName
String

Default Value: ""

Returns or sets the value of the Subject Alternative Name extension of the certificate.

Subject alternative names are used to provide additional names that are impractical to store in the main field. For example, it is often used to store all the domain names that a TLS certificate is authorized to protect.

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

subjectKeyID
Data

Default Value: ""

Contains a unique identifier of the certificate's cryptographic key.

Subject Key Identifier is a certificate extension which allows a specific public key to be associated with a certificate holder. Typically, subject key identifiers of CA certificates are recorded as respective CA key identifiers in the subordinate certificates that they issue, which facilitates chain building.

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

subjectRDN
String

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
Bool (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
String

Default Value: ""

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

validTo
String

Default Value: ""

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

Constructors

public init(stream: )

Loads the X.509 certificate from a stream. Stream is a stream containing the certificate data.

public init()

Creates a new object with default field values.

ExternalCrypto Type

Specifies the parameters of external cryptographic calls.

Remarks

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

The following fields are available:

Fields

asyncDocumentID
String

Default Value: ""

Specifies an optional document ID for SignAsyncBegin() and SignAsyncEnd() calls.

Use this property when working with multi-signature DCAuth requests and responses to uniquely identify documents signed within a larger batch. On the completion stage, this value helps the signing component identify the correct signature in the returned batch of responses.

If using batched requests, make sure to set this property to the same value on both the pre-signing (SignAsyncBegin) and completion (SignAsyncEnd) stages.

customParams
String

Default Value: ""

Custom parameters to be passed to the signing service (uninterpreted).

data
String

Default Value: ""

Additional data to be included in the async state and mirrored back by the requestor.

externalHashCalculation
Bool

Default Value: False

Specifies whether the message hash is to be calculated at the external endpoint. Please note that this mode is not supported by the DCAuth class.

If set to true, the class will pass a few kilobytes of to-be-signed data from the document to the OnExternalSign event. This only applies when SignExternal() is called.

hashAlgorithm
String

Default Value: "SHA256"

Specifies the request's signature hash algorithm.

keyID
String

Default Value: ""

The ID of the pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.

Asynchronous DCAuth-driven communication requires that parties authenticate each other with a secret pre-shared cryptographic key. This provides an extra protection layer for the protocol and diminishes the risk of the private key becoming abused by foreign parties. Use this property to provide the pre-shared key identifier, and use to pass the key itself.

The same KeyID/KeySecret pair should be used on the DCAuth side for the signing requests to be accepted.

Note: The KeyID/KeySecret scheme is very similar to the AuthKey scheme used in various Cloud service providers to authenticate users.

Example: signer.ExternalCrypto.KeyID = "MainSigningKey"; signer.ExternalCrypto.KeySecret = "abcdef0123456789";

keySecret
String

Default Value: ""

The pre-shared key used for DC request authentication. This key must be set and match the key used by the DCAuth counterpart for the scheme to work.

Default Value: 0

Specifies the asynchronous signing method. This is typically defined by the DC server capabilities and setup.

Available options:

asmdPKCS10
asmdPKCS71

mode

ecmDCAuthJSONDCAuth signing in JSON format (4)

publicKeyAlgorithm
String

Default Value: ""

Provide the public key algorithm here if the certificate is not available on the pre-signing stage.

preSharedKeyCiphersuite
String

Default Value: ""

renegotiationAttackPreventionMode
RenegotiationAttackPreventionModes

Default Value: 2

Selects the renegotiation attack prevention mechanism.

The following options are available:

crapmCompatible0TLS 1.0 and 1.1 compatibility mode (renegotiation indication extension is disabled).
crapmStrict1Renegotiation attack prevention is enabled and enforced.
crapmAuto2Automatically choose whether to enable or disable renegotiation attack prevention.

revocationCheck
RevocationCheckKinds

Default Value: 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.

crcNone0No revocation checking.
crcAuto1Automatic mode selection. Currently this maps to crcAnyOCSPOrCRL, but it may change in the future.
crcAllCRL2All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed.
crcAllOCSP3All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed.
crcAllCRLAndOCSP4All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed.
crcAnyCRL5All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed.
crcAnyOCSP6All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed.
crcAnyCRLOrOCSP7All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. CRL endpoints are checked first.
crcAnyOCSPOrCRL8All 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.

Config Settings (TLSServer Module)

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.

TLSServer Config Settings

BoundAddress:   Returns the bound address of the listening socket.

Use this property to obtain the bound address of the listening socket.

BoundPort:   The port that was bound by the server.

Returns the port number that was bound by the server.

DualStack:   Allows the use of ip4 and ip6 simultaneously.

This setting specifies a socket can use ip4 and ip6 simultaneously.

HandshakeTimeout:   The HTTPS handshake timeout.

The HTTPS handshake timeout in milliseconds.

Host:   The host to bind to.

Specifies a specific interface the server should listen on.

Port:   The port to listen on.

This config setting mimics the Port property. Please use that instead.

PortRangeFrom:   The lower bound of allowed port scope to listen on.

Specifies the lowest port number the server may use if dynamic allocation is used.

PortRangeTo:   The higher bound of allowed port scope to listen on.

Specifies the highest port number the server may use if dynamic allocation is used.

PreSharedIdentityHint:   Gets or sets the PSK identity hint.

Use this property to get or set the PSK identity hint to be used during PSK-based TLS handshake.

SessionTimeout:   The HTTP session timeout.

The HTTP session timeout in milliseconds.

SleepLen:   Adjusts the server loop idling time.

Use this property to adjust the server connection loop idling time between consecutive connection read calls. Increasing this setting may help combat excessive CPU usage in performance-restricted or busy environments. Setting it to zero removes the idling altogether, which maximizes the throughput but may cause excessive CPU load.

TLSExtensions:   TBD.

TBD

TLSPeerExtensions:   TBD.

TBD

TLSServerCertIndex:   Specifies the index of the server certificate to use.

This setting allows your code to specify the exact certificate/chain to use for the TLS handshake that has just commenced, if your server is configured with more than one chain. This property should typically be adjusted from within the OnTLSHandshake event handler.

Note: the server component normally picks up the most appropriate certificate automatically. This setting is a wiretap for scenarios where unusual or cherry-picked certificate selection logic may be necessary.

WebsiteName:   The website name for the TLS certificate.

Assign this property with a name to put in a self-generated TLS certificate.

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 class.

Supported values are:

offNo caching (default)
localLocal caching
globalGlobal caching

Cookies:   Gets or sets local cookies for the class.

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

DefDeriveKeyIterations:   Specifies the default key derivation algorithm iteration count.

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

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 classes 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 classes.

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.

noneNo flush (caching only)
immediateImmediate flush (real-time logging)
maxcountFlush cached entries upon reaching LogMaxEventCount entries in the cache.

LogLevel:   Specifies the debug log level.

Use this property to provide the desired debug log level.

Supported values are:

noneNone (by default)
fatalSevere errors that cause premature termination.
errorOther runtime errors or unexpected conditions.
warningUse of deprecated APIs, poor use of API, 'almost' errors, other runtime situations that are undesirable or unexpected, but not necessarily "wrong".
infoInteresting runtime events (startup/shutdown).
debugDetailed information on flow of through the system.
traceMore detailed information.

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

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

The default value of this setting is 100.

LogRotationMode:   Specifies the log rotation mode.

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

noneNo rotation
deleteolderDelete older entries from the cache upon reaching LogMaxEventCount
keepolderKeep 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 class. Works only if UseOwnDNSResolver is set to true.

Supported values are:

noneNo static DNS rules (default)
localLocal static DNS rules
globalGlobal static DNS rules

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

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

StaticIPAddresses:   Gets or sets all the static DNS rules.

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

Tag:   Allows to store any custom data.

Use this config property to store any custom data.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
