🔺Mutex

The API and Registry use a feature called Mutexes to have data that can be shared over multiple OS threads. Using this is necessary for some functionality. In previous versions when you have a Shared environment (citrix for example) you could make the API and Registry get into what's called a DeadlockThis caused the Mutex to never be unlocked for use by another OS thread. Causing the connector to be blocked completely.This has now been solved and has been tested on instances of 1000 concurrent devices.

🔺System time out of sync

We had a user which Operating system had a custom date set (not synced) which caused issues with DS communication. The DS communication also checks wether the time of request is not in the future or in the past (with some slack ofcourse). So if you use the Connector with a custom date you will not be able to contact the DS because it requires a request within a correct time-zone.If this is not the case it could be that a malicious user is trying to exploit the DS at which point the DS refuses the request. The issue was that this caused the Connector to crash.This has been solved so that the Connector does not crash.System time must be correct, otherwise DS communication can not be done (secrity issue)

✅ Private Network Access

Private Network Access is a new CORS draft. Which prevents remote servers to contact local instances without any extra checks. Chrome has already implemented this draft in a non-blocking manner, the implemenation of chrome is to send 2 pre-flight requests. One which is the normal pre-flight and another one where the PNA implementation has been done.At this point the pre-flight for the PNA implementation is non-blocking meaning that if the pre-flight fails it will not block the request.When the PNA Cors draft is final this will become blocking.In this release we've already started adding some required components to support this in an upcoming release.

In this release we've implemented a feature where the Connector will send it's log files towards the DS. This is so that support desks can easily get the log files of the device which is requesting support.

We've added a feature where you can run the Connector in regualr HTTP mode. To still be secure we've added a signature field to the responses which can be verified to not be tampered with at the client's side. This verification is implemented in the JS SDK.

v3.6.3

v3.6.1

The consent error code has been updated in the Trust1Connector API library, and t1c-sdk-js clients have no impact on that change

When using different instances of the Trust1Connector (optionally from another partner) on a Windows system, a port collision could be possible due to a race condition in port assignment upon initialization. Ports are now protected with anti-collision and are salted to make a port less guessable.

When no LaunchAgents folder was present on the system, the installation procedure creates this folder implicitly.

Camerfima is a new PKCS11 token added to the modules of the Trust1Connector. The Camerfirma token pre-requisites the installation of the Carmerfirma middleware.

Chambersign is a new PKCS11 token added to the modules of the Trust1Connector. The Chambersign token pre-requisites the installation of the Chambersign middleware.

The token info endpoint has been implemented before only for identity tokens. We have added support for Token Info of the PKCS11 modules. As the response has a different data structure, an additional type has been added for clients to parse the response correctly.

The PKCS11 token info exposes information on the algorithms which can be used for different use cases (digital signature, validation, authentication, ...). In a future release additional functionality will be provided such as: encryption, decryption, key exchange,...

For the different notification types, many tokens share multiple certificates for a single type. The original interface supported only a single certificate response. To be backwards compatible, those certification function have been adapted to be behave the same as in v3.5.x.

New functions are available to support multiple certificate reponses, they are called: [certificateType]Extended. For PKCS11 tokens the certificate response also returns, besides the base64 encoded certificate and the certificate id, the following properties:

• issuer

• subject

• serial number

• hash sub pub key

• hash iss pub key

• exponent (payment modules)

• remainder (payment modules)

• parsed certificate (ASN1 format of the base64 encoded certificate)

You can find an example for certigna here

A new function has been added for all PKCS11 modules called the 'validate' endpoint. This endpoint, when available, can be used to validate a signed hash received after calling the 'sign' function. In an next version a variant of the validation function using OpenSSL will be added for all tokens.

For the Trust1Connector to support more PKCS11 functionality, the intermediate PKCS11 layer has been removed in preference of a direct PKCS11 LIB integration. FFI is used in RUST to support any library which need to be loaded.

Additional guard has been implemented to prevent empty algorithms for the digital signature and validation endpoints. PKCS11 tokens will verify as well if the provided algortihm is exposed as an allowed mechanism for the targetted use case.

The Trust1Connector can now detec Java Card Object Platform 3 typed cards

When requesting for a signature or an authentication, the correct certificate must be provided. For PKCS11 tokens the certificate id (or reference) can be ommitted. The PKCS11 token will be default pick the first certificate (for the type needed) and use this with the specified mechanism to sign/authenticate.
