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.

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.

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.

This property is read-only.

cert_key_fingerprint Property

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

Syntax

def get_cert_key_fingerprint(cert_index: int) -> str: ...

Default Value

""

Remarks

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 cert_fingerprint property. The key fingeprint uniquely identifies the public key, and so can be the same for multiple certificates containing the same key.

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_key_usage Property

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

tsa_cert_ca_key_id = property(get_tsa_cert_ca_key_id, None)

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

This property is read-only.

tsa_cert_crl_distribution_points Property

Contains a list of locations of CRL distribution points used to check this certificate's validity.

Syntax

def get_tsa_cert_crl_distribution_points() -> str: ...

tsa_cert_crl_distribution_points = property(get_tsa_cert_crl_distribution_points, None)

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.

This property is read-only.

Syntax

def get_tsa_cert_friendly_name() -> str: ...

tsa_cert_friendly_name = property(get_tsa_cert_friendly_name, None)

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.

This property is read-only.

tsa_cert_handle Property

Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object.

Syntax

def get_tsa_cert_handle() -> int: ...

tsa_cert_handle = property(get_tsa_cert_handle, None)

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.

def get_tsa_cert_key_fingerprint() -> str: ...

tsa_cert_key_fingerprint = property(get_tsa_cert_key_fingerprint, None)

Default Value

""

Remarks

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 tsa_cert_fingerprint property. The key fingeprint uniquely identifies the public key, and so can be the same for multiple certificates containing the same key.

This property is read-only.

tsa_cert_key_usage Property

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

Syntax

def get_tsa_cert_key_usage() -> int: ...

Syntax

def get_tsa_cert_serial_number() -> bytes: ...

tsa_cert_serial_number = property(get_tsa_cert_serial_number, None)

Remarks

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.

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.

verify Method

Verifies digitally signed data.

Syntax

def verify() -> None: ...

Remarks

PKCS#7 and its successor, CMS, support two types of signatures: (1) enveloping signatures, where the signed data and its signature are combined in the same message, and (2) detached signatures, where the signature is stored as a separate entity. This method verifies enveloped signatures and extracts data contained in them. Use verify_detached to verify detached signatures.

This method expects the enveloping signature to be provided via input_file or input_stream properties.

Note that this method only checks the integrity of the signature, i.e., that it is signed with the claimed certificate and has not been altered. It does not validate the signing certificate chain. To validate the certificate chain, either use CertificateValidator component together with MessageVerifier, or consider using CAdESVerifier component instead.

verify_detached Method

Verifies a detached signature.

Syntax

def verify_detached() -> None: ...

Remarks

Use this method to verify detached signatures. Pass the signature via input_file (or input_stream) property, and the original data via data_file (data_stream).
