133 PKCS7_encrypt \- create a PKCS#7 envelopedData structure
135 .IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
137 \& #include <openssl/pkcs7.h>
139 \& PKCS7 *PKCS7_encrypt(STACK_OF(X509) *certs, BIO *in, const EVP_CIPHER *cipher, int flags);
142 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
143 \&\fIPKCS7_encrypt()\fR creates and returns a PKCS#7 envelopedData structure. \fBcerts\fR
144 is a list of recipient certificates. \fBin\fR is the content to be encrypted.
145 \&\fBcipher\fR is the symmetric cipher to use. \fBflags\fR is an optional set of flags.
148 Only \s-1RSA\s0 keys are supported in PKCS#7 and envelopedData so the recipient
149 certificates supplied to this function must all contain \s-1RSA\s0 public keys, though
150 they do not have to be signed using the \s-1RSA\s0 algorithm.
152 \&\fIEVP_des_ede3_cbc()\fR (triple \s-1DES\s0) is the algorithm of choice for S/MIME use
153 because most clients will support it.
155 Some old \*(L"export grade\*(R" clients may only support weak encryption using 40 or 64
156 bit \s-1RC2\s0. These can be used by passing \fIEVP_rc2_40_cbc()\fR and \fIEVP_rc2_64_cbc()\fR
159 The algorithm passed in the \fBcipher\fR parameter must support \s-1ASN1\s0 encoding of
162 Many browsers implement a \*(L"sign and encrypt\*(R" option which is simply an S/MIME
163 envelopedData containing an S/MIME signed message. This can be readily produced
164 by storing the S/MIME signed message in a memory \s-1BIO\s0 and passing it to
165 \&\fIPKCS7_encrypt()\fR.
167 The following flags can be passed in the \fBflags\fR parameter.
169 If the \fB\s-1PKCS7_TEXT\s0\fR flag is set \s-1MIME\s0 headers for type \fBtext/plain\fR are
170 prepended to the data.
172 Normally the supplied content is translated into \s-1MIME\s0 canonical format (as
173 required by the S/MIME specifications) if \fB\s-1PKCS7_BINARY\s0\fR is set no translation
174 occurs. This option should be used if the supplied data is in binary format
175 otherwise the translation will corrupt it. If \fB\s-1PKCS7_BINARY\s0\fR is set then
176 \&\fB\s-1PKCS7_TEXT\s0\fR is ignored.
178 If the \fB\s-1PKCS7_STREAM\s0\fR flag is set a partial \fB\s-1PKCS7\s0\fR structure is output
179 suitable for streaming I/O: no data is read from the \s-1BIO\s0 \fBin\fR.
182 If the flag \fB\s-1PKCS7_STREAM\s0\fR is set the returned \fB\s-1PKCS7\s0\fR structure is \fBnot\fR
183 complete and outputting its contents via a function that does not
184 properly finalize the \fB\s-1PKCS7\s0\fR structure will give unpredictable
187 Several functions including \fISMIME_write_PKCS7()\fR, \fIi2d_PKCS7_bio_stream()\fR,
188 \&\fIPEM_write_bio_PKCS7_stream()\fR finalize the structure. Alternatively finalization
189 can be performed by obtaining the streaming \s-1ASN1\s0 \fB\s-1BIO\s0\fR directly using
190 \&\fIBIO_new_PKCS7()\fR.
192 .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
193 \&\fIPKCS7_encrypt()\fR returns either a \s-1PKCS7\s0 structure or \s-1NULL\s0 if an error occurred.
194 The error can be obtained from \fIERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
196 .IX Header "SEE ALSO"

201 The \fB\s-1PKCS7_STREAM\s0\fR flag was first supported in OpenSSL 1.0.0.
