The HashFunction class implements a wide variety of algorithms for message hashing.

Syntax

class secureblackbox.HashFunction

Remarks

HashFunction allows you to hash messages using a variety of industry standard hashing algorithms. Algorithms of both Hash and HMAC type are supported.

You can feed your data to HashFunction in one go, or in chunks. Use hash method to initialize the hash function, pass the buffer, and calculate the hash in one line of code. Alternatively, use reset, update, and finish in sequence to perform each of those steps individually. You can call update (and its update_file and update_stream variants) repeatedly between reset and finish, effectively passing the data in a number of portions: // Feeding the data in one go: Hashfunction hf = new Hashfunction(); hf.Algorithm = "SHA256"; byte[] hash = hf.Hash(buffer); // Feeding data chunk by chunk: Hashfunction hf = new Hashfunction(); hf.Algorithm = "SHA256"; hf.Reset(); hf.Update(buffer1); hf.Update(buffer2); hf.Update(buffer3); byte[] hash = hf.Finish();

To use keyed HMAC, you need to provide the secret key first. Use CryptoKeyManager to create and initialize the key object: Cryptokeymanager km = new Cryptokeymanager(); km.ImportBytes(hmacKey, Constants.kffDER, "SHA256", "", "", Constants.ktSecret); Hashfunction hf = new Hashfunction(); hf.Algorithm = "SHA256"; hf.Key = km.Key; byte[] hash = hf.Hash(buffer);

Use output_encoding to set the desired encoding method.

cetCompact3JSON compact encoding

cetJSON4JSON standard encoding

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.

do_action Method

Performs an additional action.

Syntax

def do_action(action_id: str, action_params: str) -> str: ...

Remarks

do_action 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;....

finish Method

Completes the hash and returns the resulting message digest.

Syntax

def finish() -> bytes: ...

Remarks

This method finalizes the hashing operation and returns the message digest of the input data. Use it in conjuction with reset and update methods to process data in chunks.

hash Method

Calculates a message digest over a byte array.

Syntax

def hash(buffer: bytes) -> bytes: ...

Remarks

This method calculates and returns a message digest over the content of Buffer. This is a quick way to calculate a hash over a byte array in one go.

hash_file Method

Calculates a message digest over data contained in a file.

Syntax

def hash_file(source_file: str) -> bytes: ...

Remarks

This method calculates and returns a message digest over the data contained in file SourceFile. This is a quick way to calculate a hash over a file content in one go.

hash_stream Method

Calculates a message digest over data contained in a stream.

Syntax

def hash_stream() -> bytes: ...

Remarks

This method calculates a message digest over the data contained in input_stream. This is a quick way of calculating a message data over a stream content in one go.

reset Method

Resets the hash function context.

Syntax

def reset() -> None: ...

Remarks

reset resets the context of the hash function, discarding any data passed to it previously.

Use this method to restart the hash calculation process from scratch.

This method does not affect one-go methods like hash or hash_stream; they reset the hash function context automatically.

update Method

Feeds a chunk of data to the hash function.

Syntax

def update(buffer: bytes) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method feeds Buffer to the hash function. Call this method repeatedly to pass your data to the hash function chunk by chunk.

Remember to initialize the hash function with an reset call before starting to feed data with this method. After the whole volume of data has been sent, complete the calculation and obtain the resulting message digest with a finish call.

update_file Method

Feeds the contents of a file to the hash function.

Syntax

def update_file(source_file: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

Call this method to pass the contents of a file to the hash function. You can call this function repeatedly and mix it with update to feed the hash function with many separate chunks of data.

Remember to initialize the hash function with an reset call before starting hashing the data. Once all the data chunks have been submitted, finalize the hash function and obtain the resulting message digest by calling finish.

update_stream Method

Feeds the contents of a stream to the hash function.

Syntax

def update_stream() -> None: ...

Remarks

Call this method to pass the contents of a stream to the hash function. You can call this function repeatedly and mix it with update to feed the hash function with many separate chunks of data.

Remember to initialize the hash function with an reset call before starting hashing the data. Once all the data chunks have been submitted, finalize the hash function and obtain the resulting message digest by calling finish.

on_error Event

Informs about errors during cryptographic operations.

Syntax

class HashFunctionErrorEventParams(object):
  @property
  def error_code() -> int: ...

  @property
  def description() -> str: ...

# In class HashFunction:
@property
def on_error() -> Callable[[HashFunctionErrorEventParams], None]: ...

  @property
  def event_param() -> str: ...

# In class HashFunction:
@property
def on_notification() -> Callable[[HashFunctionNotificationEventParams], None]: ...
@on_notification.setter
def on_notification(event_hook: Callable[[HashFunctionNotificationEventParams], 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.

HashFunction 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.

HashFunction Config Settings

TempPath:   Path for storing temporary files.

This setting specifies an absolute path to the location on disk where temporary files are stored.

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

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:

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.

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.
