CMS_EncryptedData_decrypt

NAME

CMS_EncryptedData_decrypt, CMS_EnvelopedData_decrypt - Decrypt CMS EncryptedData or EnvelopedData

SYNOPSIS

#include <openssl/cms.h>

int CMS_EncryptedData_decrypt(CMS_ContentInfo *cms,
                              const unsigned char *key, size_t keylen,
                              BIO *dcont, BIO *out, unsigned int flags);

BIO *CMS_EnvelopedData_decrypt(CMS_EnvelopedData *env, BIO *detached_data,
                               EVP_PKEY *pkey, X509 *cert,
                               ASN1_OCTET_STRING *secret, unsigned int flags,
                               OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx, const char *propq);

DESCRIPTION

CMS_EncryptedData_decrypt() decrypts a cms EncryptedData object using the symmetric key of size keylen bytes. out is a BIO to write the content to and flags is an optional set of flags. dcont is used in the rare case where the encrypted content is detached. It will normally be set to NULL.

The following flags can be passed in the flags parameter.

If the CMS_TEXT flag is set MIME headers for type text/plain are deleted from the content. If the content is not of type text/plain then an error is returned.

CMS_EnvelopedData_decrypt() decrypts, similarly to CMS_decrypt(3), a CMS EnvelopedData object env using the symmetric key secret if it is not NULL, otherwise the private key of the recipient pkey. If pkey is given, it is recommended to provide also the associated certificate in cert - see CMS_decrypt(3) and the NOTES on cert there. The optional parameters flags and dcont are used as described above. The optional parameters library context libctx and property query propq are used when retrieving algorithms from providers.

RETURN VALUES

CMS_EncryptedData_decrypt() returns 0 if an error occurred otherwise returns 1.

CMS_EnvelopedData_decrypt() returns NULL if an error occurred, otherwise a BIO containing the decypted content.
