Digital Signature

[Kim]

I have a .NET service sending mails using CDOEX.

These mails I need to sign. I got a tip that I should use CAPICOM. That
worked
fine sending a mail with signature.

BUT the problem is that I have to type the password for my certificate every
time my program signs a mail :o(

My program is a windows service running on a server so typing passwords is
bad.

Then I got a new tip, I should use CryptoAPI instead of CAPICOM.

I think I have solved the CryptoAPI mystic and got my certificate, signed my
body of the mail and got the hash for it. But I don't know how to get my
signed code into the mail?

The code looks like this, and gives this error when the outlook client
reseive the mail:

Error: Can't open this item. Your Digital ID name can not be found by the
underlying security system.

This takes a byte array that I send from my CryptoAPI code.
Code:

private void SendMail(byte[] byteSignature)
{
CDO.IBodyPart oBodyPart;
ADODB.Fields cFields;
ADODB.Stream oStream;

// set sender, recipient, and subject.
oMessage = new CDO.Message();

oMessage.To = "re**********@Domain.dk";
oMessage.Subject = "Test Mail";
oMessage.Fields["urn:schemas:mailheader:date"].Value = DateTime.UtcNow;
oMessage.Fields.Update();

oMessage.From = "my*****@domain.dk";

oBodyPart = oMessage.BodyPart.AddBodyPart(1);
cFields = oBodyPart.Fields;

cFields["urn:schemas:mailheader:content-type"].Value =
CDO.CdoContentTypeValues.cdoTextPlain;
cFields.Update();

oStream = oBodyPart.GetDecodedContentStream();
oStream.WriteText("Hello this is some test text",0);
oStream.Flush();

//
//
// Start the new message
//
//
CDO.Message oSignedMsg = new CDO.Message();
CDO.IBodyPart oBodyPart2;
ADODB.Fields cFields2;
ADODB.Stream oStream2;

oSignedMsg.From = "My*****@domain.dk";

// this is to be a clear text signed message so we need to copy the
interesting
// parts (sender, recipient, and subject) into the new header
oSignedMsg.To = oMessage.To;
oSignedMsg.CC = oMessage.CC;
oSignedMsg.Subject = oMessage.Subject;

oBodyPart2 = oSignedMsg.BodyPart.AddBodyPart(1);
cFields2 = oBodyPart2.Fields;

cFields2["urn:schemas:mailheader:content-type"].Value =
oMessage.BodyPart.BodyParts[1].Fields["urn:schemas:mailheader:content-type"].Value;
cFields2.Update();

// Attach the signature and let CDO base64 encode it
oBodyPart2 = oSignedMsg.BodyPart.AddBodyPart(1);
cFields2 = oBodyPart2.Fields;
oBodyPart2.Fields["urn:schemas:mailheader:content-type"].Value =
"application/x-pkcs7-signature\rName = " + '\u0022' + "smime.p7s" + '\u0022'
+ "";

oBodyPart2.Fields["urn:schemas:mailheader:content-transfer-encoding"].Value =
"base64";
oBodyPart2.Fields["urn:schemas:mailheader:content-disposition"].Value =
"attachment;\rFileName=" + '\u0022' + "smime.p7s" + '\u0022' + "";
cFields2.Update();
//
oStream2 = oBodyPart2.GetDecodedContentStream();
oStream2.Type = ADODB.StreamTypeEnum.adTypeBinary;
oStream2.Write (byteSignature);
oStream2.Flush();

// Set the messages content type, this needs to be done last to ensure
it is not changed when we add the BodyParts

oSignedMsg.Fields["urn:schemas:mailheader:content-type"].Value =
"multipart/signed;\rprotocol=" + '\u0022' + "application/x-pkcs7-signature" +
'\u0022' + ";\rmicalg=SHA1;";

oSignedMsg.Fields.Update();

oMessage = oSignedMsg;
oMessage.Send();
}

Hello,
Based on my understanding, you are trying to send encrypted email from
UserA to UserB, but get following error in UserB.

Error: Can't open this item. Your Digital ID name can not be found by the
underlying security system.

This error indicates that the recipient(s) that does not have a Digital ID
should either obtain one or an unencrypted message should be sent. The
certificates you have for the recipients listed are not valid. They may
have expired, may be the wrong type, or may not be supported by your
security policy. You will need to get/set new certificates from/to the
recipients so that the encrypted message could be decrypted successfully.

Hello,

My Certificate is working perfect.

If I use CAPICOM to send a Sign Mail there is no problem.

To test it I send the mail to my self and I worked perfect with CAPICOM, but
with my code using CryptoAPI + the code here I got the error.

I had talked to some CryptoAPI guys and they say that my CryptoAPI code
should be fine but if you think my Mail code is correct you can se my
CryptoAPI code.

Best Regards

Kim

There is no error exception in the code, it compiles and run perfectly no
errors.

The error comes when the receiver of the mail tryes to open the mail and
outlook want to open the mail.

Hello Kim,
Are you sure your code you posted can work perfectly?
I found this line oStream2.Write (byteSignature); seems you did not declare
byteSignature anywhere and you did not use your cert to sign the textbody
before sending them.

I am currently trying to make your code work in my side and i will update
you later.

Hello Rhett Gong,

You say that you would update me later when you had something up and

It would be nice if you could find a solution for me.

Hi Kim,

I'm checked your code. Just as Rhett suggested, I didn't find the
declaration of it in the code you have provided. Is it the array which
contains the byte array of email signature? Could you provide us with more
information?

Here I think you have to call signHash to sign the body text before
assigning it directly to the oMessage.TextBody property.

Hello Kim,
Sorry for the late response.

I tried your code in my machine but it failed to recognize variable
"byteSignature". Could you post your code which is used to fill the
"byteSignature" so that I can repro your problem in my side and post my
suggestion after doing some research?

Hi Kim,

I found your posts by doing a search on goolge and went through your code as
I need to do the same type of thing. Yes you did not declare byteSignature
but I saw your byte[] should come from the signHash function.
I then ran the code and got an error in the client email application.
Something about a problem with the headers of the email. I then did some
diging, hacking, cracking and reading and found the problem. Since you did
all the work in getting the API to work properly in c# I only saw it fit to
give you my final solution. This function will replace your SendMail
function...

private void SendMail(string to, string from, string cc, string subject,
string body)
{
CDO.Message oSignedMsg = new CDO.Message();
oSignedMsg.From = "fa***@shweetthings.com";
oSignedMsg.To = to;
if(cc != null && cc.Trim() != "")
{
oSignedMsg.CC = cc;
}
oSignedMsg.Subject = subject;
oSignedMsg.BodyPart.ContentMediaType = "multipart/signed;\rprotocol=" +
'\u0022' + "application/x-pkcs7-signature" + '\u0022' + ";\rmicalg=SHA1;";

CDO.IBodyPart oBodyPart =
oSignedMsg.BodyPart.AddBodyPart(oSignedMsg.BodyPar t.BodyParts.Count + 1);
oBodyPart.ContentMediaType = "multipart/mixed";

CDO.IBodyPart oBodyPart2 =
oBodyPart.AddBodyPart(oBodyPart.BodyParts.Count + 1);
oBodyPart2.ContentMediaType = "text/plain;charset=\"iso-8859-1\"";
ADODB.Stream oStream = oBodyPart2.GetDecodedContentStream();
oStream.WriteText(body, 0);
oStream.Flush();
oStream.Close();

CDO.IBodyPart oSigniturePart =
oSignedMsg.BodyPart.AddBodyPart(oSignedMsg.BodyPar t.BodyParts.Count + 1);
oSigniturePart.ContentMediaType = "application/x-pkcs7-signature";
oSigniturePart.ContentTransferEncoding = "base64";
oSigniturePart.Fields["urn:schemas:mailheader:content-disposition"].Value
= "attachment;\rFileName=" + '\u0022' + "smime.p7s" + '\u0022' + "";
oSigniturePart.Fields.Update();

oStream = oSignedMsg.GetStream();
string messageToSign = oStream.ReadText(oStream.Size);
byte[] byteSignature = signHash(messageToSign);

oStream = oSigniturePart.GetDecodedContentStream();
oStream.Type = ADODB.StreamTypeEnum.adTypeBinary;
oStream.Write(byteSignature);
oStream.Flush();
oStream.Close();

oSignedMsg.Send();
}

The problem, simply, was with your bodyparts, when attaching the signiture
this must be in a new bodypart it seems and your mail body/s should form
part of the main bodypart... There is one more problem though. The mail is
not signed 100% correctly, the certificate is attached and content signed,
but it seems that when it is opened the Mail client reports it as being
tampered with... If you find a solution to that, please let me know... I now
have a nice little library to sign the messages, if you would like me to
attach the whole project please don't hesitate to ask...

Please let me know if this works for you or not...

Fanie Oosthuysen

Hi Kim,

I found your posts by doing a search on goolge and went through your code as
I need to do the same type of thing. Yes you did not declare byteSignature
but I saw your byte[] should come from the signHash function.
I then ran the code and got an error in the client email application.
Something about a problem with the headers of the email. I then did some
diging, hacking, cracking and reading and found the problem. Since you did
all the work in getting the API to work properly in c# I only saw it fit to
give you my final solution. This function will replace your SendMail
function...

private void SendMail(string to, string from, string cc, string subject,
string body)
{
CDO.Message oSignedMsg = new CDO.Message();
oSignedMsg.From = "fa***@shweetthings.com";
oSignedMsg.To = to;
if(cc != null && cc.Trim() != "")
{
oSignedMsg.CC = cc;
}
oSignedMsg.Subject = subject;
oSignedMsg.BodyPart.ContentMediaType = "multipart/signed;\rprotocol=" +
'\u0022' + "application/x-pkcs7-signature" + '\u0022' + ";\rmicalg=SHA1;";

CDO.IBodyPart oBodyPart =
oSignedMsg.BodyPart.AddBodyPart(oSignedMsg.BodyPar t.BodyParts.Count + 1);
oBodyPart.ContentMediaType = "multipart/mixed";

CDO.IBodyPart oBodyPart2 =
oBodyPart.AddBodyPart(oBodyPart.BodyParts.Count + 1);
oBodyPart2.ContentMediaType = "text/plain;charset=\"iso-8859-1\"";
ADODB.Stream oStream = oBodyPart2.GetDecodedContentStream();
oStream.WriteText(body, 0);
oStream.Flush();
oStream.Close();

CDO.IBodyPart oSigniturePart =
oSignedMsg.BodyPart.AddBodyPart(oSignedMsg.BodyPar t.BodyParts.Count + 1);
oSigniturePart.ContentMediaType = "application/x-pkcs7-signature";
oSigniturePart.ContentTransferEncoding = "base64";
oSigniturePart.Fields["urn:schemas:mailheader:content-disposition"].Value
= "attachment;\rFileName=" + '\u0022' + "smime.p7s" + '\u0022' + "";
oSigniturePart.Fields.Update();

oStream = oSignedMsg.GetStream();
string messageToSign = oStream.ReadText(oStream.Size);
byte[] byteSignature = signHash(messageToSign);

oStream = oSigniturePart.GetDecodedContentStream();
oStream.Type = ADODB.StreamTypeEnum.adTypeBinary;
oStream.Write(byteSignature);
oStream.Flush();
oStream.Close();

oSignedMsg.Send();
}

The problem, simply, was with your bodyparts, when attaching the signiture
this must be in a new bodypart it seems and your mail body/s should form
part of the main bodypart... There is one more problem though. The mail is
not signed 100% correctly, the certificate is attached and content signed,
but it seems that when it is opened the Mail client reports it as being
tampered with... If you find a solution to that, please let me know... I now
have a nice little library to sign the messages, if you would like me to
attach the whole project please don't hesitate to ask...

Please let me know if this works for you or not...

I have a .NET service sending mails using CDOEX.

These mails I need to sign. I got a tip that I should use CAPICOM. That
worked
fine sending a mail with signature.

BUT the problem is that I have to type the password for my certificate every time my program signs a mail :o(

My program is a windows service running on a server so typing passwords is
bad.

Then I got a new tip, I should use CryptoAPI instead of CAPICOM.

I think I have solved the CryptoAPI mystic and got my certificate, signed my body of the mail and got the hash for it. But I don't know how to get my
signed code into the mail?

The code looks like this, and gives this error when the outlook client
reseive the mail:

Error: Can't open this item. Your Digital ID name can not be found by the
underlying security system.

This takes a byte array that I send from my CryptoAPI code.
Code:

private void SendMail(byte[] byteSignature)
{
CDO.IBodyPart oBodyPart;
ADODB.Fields cFields;
ADODB.Stream oStream;

// set sender, recipient, and subject.
oMessage = new CDO.Message();

oMessage.To = "re**********@Domain.dk";
oMessage.Subject = "Test Mail";
oMessage.Fields["urn:schemas:mailheader:date"].Value = DateTime.UtcNow; oMessage.Fields.Update();

oMessage.From = "my*****@domain.dk";

oBodyPart = oMessage.BodyPart.AddBodyPart(1);
cFields = oBodyPart.Fields;

cFields["urn:schemas:mailheader:content-type"].Value =
CDO.CdoContentTypeValues.cdoTextPlain;
cFields.Update();

oStream = oBodyPart.GetDecodedContentStream();
oStream.WriteText("Hello this is some test text",0);
oStream.Flush();

//
//
// Start the new message
//
//
CDO.Message oSignedMsg = new CDO.Message();
CDO.IBodyPart oBodyPart2;
ADODB.Fields cFields2;
ADODB.Stream oStream2;

oSignedMsg.From = "My*****@domain.dk";

// this is to be a clear text signed message so we need to copy the
interesting
// parts (sender, recipient, and subject) into the new header
oSignedMsg.To = oMessage.To;
oSignedMsg.CC = oMessage.CC;
oSignedMsg.Subject = oMessage.Subject;

oBodyPart2 = oSignedMsg.BodyPart.AddBodyPart(1);
cFields2 = oBodyPart2.Fields;

cFields2["urn:schemas:mailheader:content-type"].Value =
oMessage.BodyPart.BodyParts[1].Fields["urn:schemas:mailheader:content-type"]
..Value; cFields2.Update();

// Attach the signature and let CDO base64 encode it
oBodyPart2 = oSignedMsg.BodyPart.AddBodyPart(1);
cFields2 = oBodyPart2.Fields;
oBodyPart2.Fields["urn:schemas:mailheader:content-type"].Value =
"application/x-pkcs7-signature\rName = " + '\u0022' + "smime.p7s" + '\u0022' + "";

oBodyPart2.Fields["urn:schemas:mailheader:content-transfer-encoding"].Value
= "base64";
oBodyPart2.Fields["urn:schemas:mailheader:content-disposition"].Value = "attachment;\rFileName=" + '\u0022' + "smime.p7s" + '\u0022' + "";
cFields2.Update();
//
oStream2 = oBodyPart2.GetDecodedContentStream();
oStream2.Type = ADODB.StreamTypeEnum.adTypeBinary;
oStream2.Write (byteSignature);
oStream2.Flush();

// Set the messages content type, this needs to be done last to ensure it is not changed when we add the BodyParts

oSignedMsg.Fields["urn:schemas:mailheader:content-type"].Value =
"multipart/signed;\rprotocol=" + '\u0022' + "application/x-pkcs7-signature" + '\u0022' + ";\rmicalg=SHA1;";

oSignedMsg.Fields.Update();

oMessage = oSignedMsg;
oMessage.Send();
}
