|

|
|---|
| 9 | #include <openssl/cms.h>
|
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 | CMS_ContentInfo *CMS_encrypt(STACK_OF(X509) *certs, BIO *in,
|
|---|
| 12 | const EVP_CIPHER *cipher, unsigned int flags);
|

|

| 14 | =head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | CMS_encrypt() creates and returns a CMS EnvelopedData structure. B<certs>
|
|---|
| 17 | is a list of recipient certificates. B<in> is the content to be encrypted.
|
|---|
| 18 | B<cipher> is the symmetric cipher to use. B<flags> is an optional set of flags.
|
|---|
| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 | =head1 NOTES
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | Only certificates carrying RSA, Diffie-Hellman or EC keys are supported by this
|
|---|
| 23 | function.
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | EVP_des_ede3_cbc() (triple DES) is the algorithm of choice for S/MIME use
|
|---|
| 26 | because most clients will support it.
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | The algorithm passed in the B<cipher> parameter must support ASN1 encoding of
|
|---|
| 29 | its parameters.
|
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 | Many browsers implement a "sign and encrypt" option which is simply an S/MIME
|
|---|
| 32 | envelopedData containing an S/MIME signed message. This can be readily produced
|
|---|
| 33 | by storing the S/MIME signed message in a memory BIO and passing it to
|
|---|
| 34 | CMS_encrypt().
|
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 | The following flags can be passed in the B<flags> parameter.
|
|---|
| 37 |
|
|---|
| 38 | If the B<CMS_TEXT> flag is set MIME headers for type B<text/plain> are
|
|---|
| 39 | prepended to the data.
|
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 | Normally the supplied content is translated into MIME canonical format (as
|
|---|
| 42 | required by the S/MIME specifications) if B<CMS_BINARY> is set no translation
|
|---|
| 43 | occurs. This option should be used if the supplied data is in binary format
|
|---|
| 44 | otherwise the translation will corrupt it. If B<CMS_BINARY> is set then
|
|---|
| 45 | B<CMS_TEXT> is ignored.
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 | OpenSSL will by default identify recipient certificates using issuer name
|
|---|
| 48 | and serial number. If B<CMS_USE_KEYID> is set it will use the subject key
|
|---|
| 49 | identifier value instead. An error occurs if all recipient certificates do not
|
|---|
| 50 | have a subject key identifier extension.
|
|---|
| 51 |
|
|---|
| 52 | If the B<CMS_STREAM> flag is set a partial B<CMS_ContentInfo> structure is
|
|---|
| 53 | returned suitable for streaming I/O: no data is read from the BIO B<in>.
|
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 | If the B<CMS_PARTIAL> flag is set a partial B<CMS_ContentInfo> structure is
|
|---|
| 56 | returned to which additional recipients and attributes can be added before
|
|---|
| 57 | finalization.
|
|---|
| 58 |
|
|---|
| 59 | The data being encrypted is included in the CMS_ContentInfo structure, unless
|
|---|
| 60 | B<CMS_DETACHED> is set in which case it is omitted. This is rarely used in
|
|---|
| 61 | practice and is not supported by SMIME_write_CMS().
|
|---|
| 62 |
|
|---|
| 63 | =head1 NOTES
|
|---|
| 64 |
|
|---|
| 65 | If the flag B<CMS_STREAM> is set the returned B<CMS_ContentInfo> structure is
|
|---|
| 66 | B<not> complete and outputting its contents via a function that does not
|
|---|
| 67 | properly finalize the B<CMS_ContentInfo> structure will give unpredictable
|
|---|
| 68 | results.
|
|---|
| 69 |
|
|---|
| 70 | Several functions including SMIME_write_CMS(), i2d_CMS_bio_stream(),
|
|---|
| 71 | PEM_write_bio_CMS_stream() finalize the structure. Alternatively finalization
|
|---|
| 72 | can be performed by obtaining the streaming ASN1 B<BIO> directly using
|
|---|
| 73 | BIO_new_CMS().
|
|---|
| 74 |
|
|---|
| 75 | The recipients specified in B<certs> use a CMS KeyTransRecipientInfo info
|
|---|
| 76 | structure. KEKRecipientInfo is also supported using the flag B<CMS_PARTIAL>
|
|---|
| 77 | and CMS_add0_recipient_key().
|
|---|
| 78 |
|
|---|
| 79 | The parameter B<certs> may be NULL if B<CMS_PARTIAL> is set and recipients
|
|---|
| 80 | added later using CMS_add1_recipient_cert() or CMS_add0_recipient_key().
|
|---|
| 81 |
|
|---|
| 82 | =head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|---|
| 83 |
|
|---|
| 84 | CMS_encrypt() returns either a CMS_ContentInfo structure or NULL if an error
|
|---|
| 85 | occurred. The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3).
