The XAdESVerifier module verifies XAdES-compliant signatures and their trust chains.

Syntax

SecureBlackbox.XAdESVerifier

Remarks

XAdESVerifier validates electronic signatures that comply with the Electronic Signatures and Infrastructures (ESI) XML Advanced Electronic Signatures (XAdES) specification. XAdES builds on XML-SIG containers to add trust and long-term validity services to generic certificate-based XML signatures.

XAdES signatures are made over XML files, and support all the diversity offered by the underlying, more generic XML-SIG standard. The container options include enveloping signatures (with data being signed encapsulated into the outer XML signature), enveloped signatures (with signature being placed under the root of the outer signed document), and detached signatures (with the signed document distributed separately). It is important to find out what kind of signatures you are working with, as the validation process for detached signatures can be slightly different.

XAdESVerifier provides a simple and powerful mechanism to verify XAdES signatures in accordance with the respective ETSI standards (ETSI EN 319 132). It supports the following features of the standard (which cover the most of it):

• Enveloped, enveloping and detached signatures.
• Matching the signature to all the current and older ETSI signature profiles (including B-B, B-T, B-LT, B-LTA).
• Short-term, long-term, and archival signatures.
• RFC 3161 timestamps.
• Complete chain of trust validation process, using local, global, nation-specific (EUTL), or custom trust.
• Removal of existing signatures.
• Custom XML namespaces and tags.
• Online and offline modes.

The component is being actively maintained and updated, following ongoing developments in AdES world. For more than 10 years, our engineers have been active participants of ETSI Plugtests events, to make sure that our e-Signature infrastructure is compliant and highly interoperable.

Just like our other signature components, XAdESVerifier supports several work modes that differ in complexity, allowing for both 'quick' and 'flexible' use. The simple mode assumes providing the InputFile and the OutputFile, and calling the one-pass Verify method (for detached signatures you will also need to provide the data being covered via the DataFile property and call VerifyDetached instead). This approach is straightforward and would let you integrate XAdES verification in accordance with built-in validation defaults.

More complex tune-ups may involve fine-grained adjustment of validation properties, such as providing your own validation material (certificates, OCSPs, CRLs) or fine-tuning conflict/error resolution options. You can also choose to work with the container step-by-step, by splitting the one-pass operation into a sequence of individual Open, Validate/Revalidate, and Close calls. XAdESVerifier lets you walk up and down the XML signature tree to any level of depth using its powerful SelectInfo mechanism. XAdESVerifier verifier = new XAdESVerifier(); // Select the file which contains the signed message verifier.setInputFile("signedFile.xml"); verifier.open(); if (verifier.getSignatures().item(0).getSignatureType() == XAdESSignature.cxstDetached){ // To verify a detached signature, we need // to provide both the signature and the original data verifier.setDataFile("MyFile.xml"); verifier.verifyDetached(); } else { // To verify an enveloping signature, we need // to provide the location to extract the data verifier.setOutputFile("output.exe"); verifier.verify(); } // The outcome of the cryptographic signature validation for (int idx = 0; idx < verifier.getSignatures().size() ; idx++) { switch (verifier.getSignatures().item(0).getSignatureValidationResult()) { case XAdESSignature.svtValid: System.out.println("The signature is valid."); break; case XAdESSignature.svtUnknown: System.out.println("Signature verification failed: Unknown signature."); break; case XAdESSignature.svtFailure: case XAdESSignature.svtCorrupted: System.out.println("Signature verification failed: The signature is corrupt or invalid."); break; case XAdESSignature.svtSignerNotFound: System.out.println("Signature verification failed: The signature does not contain a signer."); break; default: System.out.println("Signature verification failed."); break; } }

Remarks

Use this property to supply a list of additional certificates that might be needed for chain validation. An example of a scenario where you might want to do that is when intermediary CA certificates are absent from the standard system locations (or when there are no standard system locations), and therefore should be supplied to the class manually.

The purpose of the certificates to be added to this collection is roughly equivalent to that of the Intermediate Certification Authorities system store in Windows.

Do not add trust anchors or root certificates to this collection: add them to TrustedCertificates instead.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var knownOCSPs: Array<OCSPResponse> {
  get {...}
}

A collection of OCSP responses embedded into the signature.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var ocsPs: Array<OCSPResponse> {

  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=offlineMode,setter=setOfflineMode:) BOOL offlineMode;

- (BOOL)offlineMode;
- (void)setOfflineMode :(BOOL)newOfflineMode;

Default Value

False

Remarks

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

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

OutputBytes Property (XAdESVerifier Module)

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

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

- (NSString*)profile;
- (void)setProfile :(NSString*)newProfile;

Default Value

""

Remarks

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

public enum XAdESVerifierRevocationChecks: Int32 {
  case crcNone = 0

  case crcAllCRL = 2
  case crcAllOCSP = 3
  case crcAllCRLAndOCSP = 4
  case crcAnyCRL = 5
  case crcAnyOCSP = 6
  case crcAnyCRLOrOCSP = 7
  case crcAnyOCSPOrCRL = 8
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=revocationCheck,setter=setRevocationCheck:) int revocationCheck;

- (int)revocationCheck;
- (void)setRevocationCheck :(int)newRevocationCheck;

Default Value

1

Remarks

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

Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) and Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responses serve the same purpose of ensuring that the certificate had not been revoked by the Certificate Authority (CA) at the time of use. Depending on your circumstances and security policy requirements, you may want to use either one or both of the revocation information source types.

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

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

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

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

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

- (void)setTrustedCertHandle:(int)trustedCertIndex :(long long)newTrustedCertHandle;

Default Value

""

Remarks

Use this property to supply a list of trusted certificates that might be needed for chain validation. An example of a scenario where you might want to do that is when root CA certificates are absent from the standard system locations (or when there are no standard system locations), and therefore should be supplied to the component manually.

The purpose of this certificate collection is largely the same as that of the Windows Trusted Root Certification Authorities system store.

Use this property with extreme care as it directly affects chain verifiability; a wrong certificate added to the trusted list may result in bad chains being accepted, and forfeited signatures being recognized as genuine. Only add certificates that originate from the parties that you know and trust.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

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.

This event is fired upon the completion of the timestamp validation routine, and reports the respective validation result.

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

TLSCertNeeded Event (XAdESVerifier Module)

Fires when a remote TLS party requests a client certificate.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onTLSCertNeeded(host: String, caNames: String)

- (void)onTLSCertNeeded:(NSString*)host :(NSString*)CANames;

Remarks

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

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

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

TLSCertValidate Event (XAdESVerifier Module)

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

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onTLSCertValidate(serverHost: String, serverIP: String, accept: inout Bool)

- (void)onTLSCertValidate:(NSString*)serverHost :(NSString*)serverIP :(int*)accept;

Remarks

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

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

TLSEstablished Event (XAdESVerifier Module)

Fires when a TLS handshake with Host successfully completes.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onTLSEstablished(host: String, version: String, ciphersuite: String, connectionId: Data, abort: inout Bool)

- (void)onTLSEstablished:(NSString*)host :(NSString*)version :(NSString*)ciphersuite :(NSData*)connectionId :(int*)abort;

Remarks

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

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

TLSHandshake Event (XAdESVerifier Module)

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

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onTLSHandshake(host: String, abort: inout Bool)

- (void)onTLSHandshake:(NSString*)host :(int*)abort;

Remarks

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

TLSShutdown Event (XAdESVerifier Module)

Reports the graceful closure of a TLS connection.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onTLSShutdown(host: String)

- (void)onTLSShutdown:(NSString*)host;

Remarks

This event notifies the application about the closure of an earlier established TLS connection. Note that only graceful connection closures are reported.

Certificate Type

Encapsulates an individual X.509 certificate.

Remarks

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

Fields

Constructors

public init(stream: )

public init()

CRL Type

Represents a Certificate Revocation List.

Remarks

CRLs store information about revoked certificates, i.e., certificates that have been identified as invalid by their issuing certificate authority (CA) for any number of reasons.

Each CRL object lists certificates from a single CA and identifies them by their serial numbers. A CA may or may not publish a CRL, may publish several CRLs, or may publish the same CRL in multiple locations.

Unlike OCSP responses, CRLs only list certificates that have been revoked. They do not list certificates that are still valid.

Fields

Constructors

public init()

OCSPResponse Type

Represents a single OCSP response originating from an OCSP responder.

Remarks

OCSP is a protocol that allows verification of certificate status in real-time, and is an alternative to Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs).

An OCSP response is a snapshot of the certificate status at a given time.
