=head1 NAME |
|
|
|
PKCS7_decrypt - decrypt content from a PKCS#7 envelopedData structure |
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS |
|
|
|
#include <openssl/pkcs7.h> |
|
|
|
int PKCS7_decrypt(PKCS7 *p7, EVP_PKEY *pkey, X509 *cert, BIO *data, int flags); |
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION |
|
|
|
PKCS7_decrypt() extracts and decrypts the content from a PKCS#7 envelopedData |
|
structure. B<pkey> is the private key of the recipient, B<cert> is the |
|
recipients certificate, B<data> is a BIO to write the content to and |
|
B<flags> is an optional set of flags. |
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES |
|
|
|
OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() (or equivalent) should be called before using this |
|
function or errors about unknown algorithms will occur. |
|
|
|
Although the recipients certificate is not needed to decrypt the data it is needed |
|
to locate the appropriate (of possible several) recipients in the PKCS#7 structure. |
|
|
|
The following flags can be passed in the B<flags> parameter. |
|
|
|
If the B<PKCS7_TEXT> flag is set MIME headers for type B<text/plain> are deleted |
|
from the content. If the content is not of type B<text/plain> then an error is |
|
returned. |
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES |
|
|
|
PKCS7_decrypt() returns either 1 for success or 0 for failure. |
|
The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3) |
|
|
|
=head1 BUGS |
|
|
|
PKCS7_decrypt() must be passed the correct recipient key and certificate. It would |
|
be better if it could look up the correct key and certificate from a database. |
|
|
|
The lack of single pass processing and need to hold all data in memory as |
|
mentioned in PKCS7_sign() also applies to PKCS7_verify(). |
