|
|---|
| 9 | #include <openssl/pkcs7.h>
|
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 | PKCS7 *PKCS7_encrypt(STACK_OF(X509) *certs, BIO *in, const EVP_CIPHER *cipher,
|
|---|
| 12 | int flags);
|
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 | =head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | PKCS7_encrypt() creates and returns a PKCS#7 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 RSA keys are supported in PKCS#7 and envelopedData so the recipient
|
|---|
| 23 | certificates supplied to this function must all contain RSA public keys, though
|
|---|
| 24 | they do not have to be signed using the RSA algorithm.
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | EVP_des_ede3_cbc() (triple DES) is the algorithm of choice for S/MIME use
|
|---|
| 27 | because most clients will support it.
|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | Some old "export grade" clients may only support weak encryption using 40 or 64
|
|---|
| 30 | bit RC2. These can be used by passing EVP_rc2_40_cbc() and EVP_rc2_64_cbc()
|
|---|
| 31 | respectively.
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | The algorithm passed in the B<cipher> parameter must support ASN1 encoding of
|
|---|
| 34 | its parameters.
|
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 | Many browsers implement a "sign and encrypt" option which is simply an S/MIME
|
|---|
| 37 | envelopedData containing an S/MIME signed message. This can be readily produced
|
|---|
| 38 | by storing the S/MIME signed message in a memory BIO and passing it to
|
|---|
| 39 | PKCS7_encrypt().
|
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 | The following flags can be passed in the B<flags> parameter.
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | If the B<PKCS7_TEXT> flag is set MIME headers for type B<text/plain> are
|
|---|
| 44 | prepended to the data.
|
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 | Normally the supplied content is translated into MIME canonical format (as
|
|---|
| 47 | required by the S/MIME specifications) if B<PKCS7_BINARY> is set no translation
|
|---|
| 48 | occurs. This option should be used if the supplied data is in binary format
|
|---|
| 49 | otherwise the translation will corrupt it. If B<PKCS7_BINARY> is set then
|
|---|
| 50 | B<PKCS7_TEXT> is ignored.
|
|---|
| 51 |
|
|---|
| 52 | If the B<PKCS7_STREAM> flag is set a partial B<PKCS7> structure is output
|
|---|
| 53 | suitable for streaming I/O: no data is read from the BIO B<in>.
|
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 | =head1 NOTES
|
|---|
| 56 |
|
|---|
| 57 | If the flag B<PKCS7_STREAM> is set the returned B<PKCS7> structure is B<not>
|
|---|
| 58 | complete and outputting its contents via a function that does not
|
|---|
| 59 | properly finalize the B<PKCS7> structure will give unpredictable
|
|---|
| 60 | results.
|
|---|
| 61 |
|
|---|
| 62 | Several functions including SMIME_write_PKCS7(), i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream(),
|
|---|
| 63 | PEM_write_bio_PKCS7_stream() finalize the structure. Alternatively finalization
|
|---|
| 64 | can be performed by obtaining the streaming ASN1 B<BIO> directly using
|
|---|
| 65 | BIO_new_PKCS7().
|
|---|
| 66 |
|
|---|
| 67 | =head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|---|
| 68 |
|
|---|
| 69 | PKCS7_encrypt() returns either a PKCS7 structure or NULL if an error occurred.
|
|---|
| 70 | The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3).
