CertificateStorage Class
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The CertificateStorage class works with collections of certificates.
Syntax
class secureblackbox.CertificateStorage
Remarks
CertificateStorage can work with certificates residing on a variety of media. Among others, it can access certificates residing in files, Windows and macOS system stores, and PKCS#11 devices. All such kinds of media can be accessed via a simple, unified interface, which makes CertificateStorage a handy certificate access option. Most users of SecureBlackbox use this component to access certificates residing on hardware devices. CertificateStorage is also a good alternative to CertificateManager where the certificate file contains more than one certificate.
To access certificates stored on certain type of media, start with the open method. Provide the location of your certificates via a uniform URI-like specifier. Once the storage has been opened, you can access the certificates contained in it via the certificates property.
Iterate over certificates by using the certificates property, or use filtering facilities such as select and select_chain. You can add certificates to the storage with the import_bytes, import_from_file, and import_pinned methods. In the latter case please assign the certificate object to be imported to the pinned_cert property.
Use create_new method to create a new storage. Note that not all storage kinds can be created.
When you have finished working with the certificate storage, close it with the close method.
Certain types of stores must be kept open for the certificates to continue to be usable. This means that while you can
copy a certificate to a different storage, or assign it to a different component, you still must keep
the storage it originates from open for as long as you intend to use that certificate in your code.
This is because the storage is often a bridge between a certificate
and its private key, and by closing the storage early you are destroying this bridge prematurely. See the code example below:
// This code, although syntactically correct, will fail because the storage is closed too early:
storage.Open("pkcs11://user:12345@localhost/C:/Windows/System32/asepkcs.dll");
pdfSigner.SigningCertificate = storage.Certificates[0];
storage.Close(false); // the private key of the SigningCertificate gets lost after this call
pdfSigner.Sign(); // returns an error
// This code will work as expected
storage.Open("pkcs11://user:12345@localhost/C:/Windows/System32/asepkcs.dll");
pdfSigner.SigningCertificate = storage.Certificates[0];
pdfSigner.Sign();
storage.Close(false);

This property is read-only.
cert_bytes Property
Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.
Syntax
def get_cert_bytes(cert_index: int) -> bytes: ...
Remarks
Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.
The cert_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the cert_count property.
This property is read-only.
cert_ca Property
Indicates whether the certificate has a CA capability.
Syntax
def get_cert_ca(cert_index: int) -> bool: ...
Default Value
FALSE
Remarks
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.
The cert_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the cert_count property.
This property is read-only.
cert_ca_key_id Property
A unique identifier (fingerprint) of the CA certificate's cryptographic key.
Syntax
def get_cert_ca_key_id(cert_index: int) -> bytes: ...
Remarks
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 cert_subject_key_id setting, and for lower-level certificates, from the parent certificate's subject key ID extension.
The cert_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the cert_count property.
This property is read-only.
cert_cert_type Property
Returns the type of the entity contained in the Certificate object.
Syntax
def get_cert_cert_type(cert_index: int) -> int: ...
Default Value
0
Remarks
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.
The cert_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the cert_count property.
This property is read-only.
cert_crl_distribution_points Property
Contains a list of locations of CRL distribution points used to check this certificate's validity.
Syntax
def get_cert_crl_distribution_points(cert_index: int) -> str: ...
Default Value
""
Remarks
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.
The cert_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the cert_count property.
This property is read-only.
cert_curve Property
Specifies the elliptic curve associated with the certificate's public key.
Syntax
def get_cert_curve(cert_index: int) -> str: ...
Default Value
""
Remarks
Specifies the elliptic curve associated with the certificate's public key. This setting only applies to certificates containing EC keys.

The cert_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the cert_count property.
This property is read-only.
cert_fingerprint Property
Contains the fingerprint (a hash imprint) of this certificate.
Syntax
def get_cert_fingerprint(cert_index: int) -> str: ...
Default Value
""
Remarks
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.
The cert_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the cert_count property.
This property is read-only.
cert_friendly_name Property
Contains an associated alias (friendly name) of the certificate.
Syntax
def get_cert_friendly_name(cert_index: int) -> str: ...
Default Value
""
Remarks
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.
The cert_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the cert_count property.
This property is read-only.
cert_handle Property
Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object.
Syntax
def get_cert_handle(cert_index: int) -> int: ...
Default Value
0
Remarks
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());
The cert_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the cert_count property.

Default Value
""
Remarks
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.
The cert_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the cert_count property.
This property is read-only.
cert_private_key_bytes Property
Returns the certificate's private key in DER-encoded format.
Syntax
def get_cert_private_key_bytes(cert_index: int) -> bytes: ...
Remarks
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.
The cert_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the cert_count property.
This property is read-only.

The selected_cert_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the selected_cert_count property.
This property is read-only.
selected_cert_fingerprint Property
Contains the fingerprint (a hash imprint) of this certificate.
Syntax
def get_selected_cert_fingerprint(selected_cert_index: int) -> str: ...
Default Value
""
Remarks
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.
The selected_cert_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the selected_cert_count property.
This property is read-only.
selected_cert_friendly_name Property
Contains an associated alias (friendly name) of the certificate.
Syntax
def get_selected_cert_friendly_name(selected_cert_index: int) -> str: ...
Default Value
""
Remarks
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.
The selected_cert_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the selected_cert_count property.
This property is read-only.
selected_cert_handle Property
Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object.
Syntax
def get_selected_cert_handle(selected_cert_index: int) -> int: ...
Default Value
0
Remarks
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());
The selected_cert_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the selected_cert_count property.
This property is read-only.

selected_cert_key_valid Property
Returns True if the certificate's key is cryptographically valid, and False otherwise.
Syntax
def get_selected_cert_key_valid(selected_cert_index: int) -> bool: ...
Default Value
FALSE
Remarks
Returns True if the certificate's key is cryptographically valid, and False otherwise.
The selected_cert_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the selected_cert_count property.
This property is read-only.
selected_cert_ocsp_locations Property
Locations of OCSP services that can be used to check this certificate's validity in real time, as recorded by the CA.
Syntax
def get_selected_cert_ocsp_locations(selected_cert_index: int) -> str: ...
Default Value
""
Remarks
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.
The selected_cert_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the selected_cert_count property.
This property is read-only.
selected_cert_ocsp_no_check Property
Accessor to the value of the certificate's ocsp-no-check extension.
Syntax
def get_selected_cert_ocsp_no_check(selected_cert_index: int) -> bool: ...

Remarks
Returns the location that the certificate was taken or loaded from.
The selected_cert_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the selected_cert_count property.
This property is read-only.
selected_cert_policy_i_ds Property
Contains identifiers (OIDs) of the applicable certificate policies.
Syntax
def get_selected_cert_policy_i_ds(selected_cert_index: int) -> str: ...
Default Value
""
Remarks
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.
The selected_cert_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the selected_cert_count property.
This property is read-only.
selected_cert_private_key_bytes Property
Returns the certificate's private key in DER-encoded format.
Syntax
def get_selected_cert_private_key_bytes(selected_cert_index: int) -> bytes: ...
Remarks
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.
The selected_cert_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the selected_cert_count property.
This property is read-only.

Syntax
def get_selected_cert_private_key_exists(selected_cert_index: int) -> bool: ...
Default Value
FALSE
Remarks
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 selected_cert_private_key_bytes, 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.
The selected_cert_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the selected_cert_count property.
This property is read-only.
selected_cert_private_key_extractable Property
Indicates whether the private key is extractable (exportable).
Syntax
def get_selected_cert_private_key_extractable(selected_cert_index: int) -> bool: ...
Default Value
FALSE
Remarks
Indicates whether the private key is extractable (exportable).
The selected_cert_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the selected_cert_count property.
This property is read-only.
selected_cert_public_key_bytes Property
Contains the certificate's public key in DER format.
Syntax
def get_selected_cert_public_key_bytes(selected_cert_index: int) -> bytes: ...
Remarks
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.

Save parameter only applies to certain types of stores, such as file stores. Set it to True to commit any changes to the underlying media. Note that PKCS#11 and Win32 storage types are of transactional nature and commit any changes immediately, so the value of the Save parameter does not make any difference with them.
config Method
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
def config(configuration_string: str) -> str: ...
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.

class CertificateStorageErrorEventParams(object): @property def error_code() -> int: ... @property def description() -> str: ... # In class CertificateStorage: @property def on_error() -> Callable[[CertificateStorageErrorEventParams], None]: ... @on_error.setter def on_error(event_hook: Callable[[CertificateStorageErrorEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
Reports exceptional conditions during certificate loading or exporting.
ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error.
on_notification Event
This event notifies the application about an underlying control flow event.
Syntax
class CertificateStorageNotificationEventParams(object): @property def event_id() -> str: ... @property def event_param() -> str: ... # In class CertificateStorage: @property def on_notification() -> Callable[[CertificateStorageNotificationEventParams], None]: ... @on_notification.setter def on_notification(event_hook: Callable[[CertificateStorageNotificationEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
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:
PKCS11BeforeLoadDriver | Fires before the driver DLL is loaded. |
PKCS11BeforeLogin | Fires before the C_Login() function is called. |
PKCS11BeforeOpenSession | Fires before C_OpenSession() is called. |
PKCS11DriverLoaded | Reports that the driver has been successfully loaded. |
PKCS11LoggedIn | Notifies about successful sign-in. |
PKCS11LoginError | Notifies about a sign-in issue. |
PKCS11SessionOpened | Notifies the application that the session has been opened. |
on_password_needed Event
This event is fired when a decryption password is needed.
Syntax
class CertificateStoragePasswordNeededEventParams(object): @property def needed_for() -> str: ... @property def password() -> str: ... @password.setter def password(value) -> None: ... @property def cancel() -> bool: ... @cancel.setter def cancel(value) -> None: ... # In class CertificateStorage: @property def on_password_needed() -> Callable[[CertificateStoragePasswordNeededEventParams], None]: ... @on_password_needed.setter def on_password_needed(event_hook: Callable[[CertificateStoragePasswordNeededEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
The class fires this event when a password is needed to decrypt a certificate or a private key.
In the handler of this event, assign the password to the Password parameter, or set Cancel to true to abort the operation.
The NeededFor parameter identifies the certificate for which the password is requested.
CertificateStorage Config Settings
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.CertificateStorage Config Settings
The following values are supported for either algorithm:
- PBES2-PBKDF2-SHA256-AES256
- PBES2-PBKDF2-SHA1-AES256
- PBE-SHA1-RC4-128
- PBE-SHA1-RC4-40
- PBE-SHA1-3DES
- PBE-SHA1-RC2-128
- PBE-SHA1-RC2-40
The two common PKCS#11 login types are user and admin.
- standard: use UTF8, as instructed by the PKCS#11 specification.
- ansi: use Ansi (local) code page to convert text to the byte arrays that are passed over to the driver.
- smart: if the standard approach fails, try the ansi approach automatically
