  155. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  156. \&\fBCMS_encrypt_ex()\fR creates and returns a \s-1CMS\s0 EnvelopedData or
  157. AuthEnvelopedData structure. \fIcerts\fR is a list of recipient certificates.
  158. \&\fIin\fR is the content to be encrypted. \fIcipher\fR is the symmetric cipher to use.
  159. \&\fIflags\fR is an optional set of flags. The library context \fIlibctx\fR and the
  160. property query \fIpropq\fR are used internally when retrieving algorithms from
  161. providers.
  162. .PP
  163. Only certificates carrying \s-1RSA,\s0 Diffie-Hellman or \s-1EC\s0 keys are supported by this
  164. function.
  165. .PP
  166. \&\fBEVP_des_ede3_cbc()\fR (triple \s-1DES\s0) is the algorithm of choice for S/MIME use
  167. because most clients will support it.
  168. .PP
  169. The algorithm passed in the \fBcipher\fR parameter must support \s-1ASN1\s0 encoding of
  170. its parameters. If the cipher mode is \s-1GCM,\s0 then an AuthEnvelopedData structure
  171. containing \s-1MAC\s0 is used. Otherwise an EnvelopedData structure is used. Currently
  172. the \s-1AES\s0 variants with \s-1GCM\s0 mode are the only supported \s-1AEAD\s0 algorithms.
  173. .PP
  174. Many browsers implement a \*(L"sign and encrypt\*(R" option which is simply an S/MIME
  175. envelopedData containing an S/MIME signed message. This can be readily produced
  176. by storing the S/MIME signed message in a memory \s-1BIO\s0 and passing it to
  177. \&\fBCMS_encrypt()\fR.
  178. .PP
  179. The following flags can be passed in the \fBflags\fR parameter.
  180. .PP
  181. If the \fB\s-1CMS_TEXT\s0\fR flag is set \s-1MIME\s0 headers for type \fBtext/plain\fR are
  182. prepended to the data.
  183. .PP
  184. Normally the supplied content is translated into \s-1MIME\s0 canonical format (as
  185. required by the S/MIME specifications) if \fB\s-1CMS_BINARY\s0\fR is set no translation
  186. occurs. This option should be used if the supplied data is in binary format
  187. otherwise the translation will corrupt it. If \fB\s-1CMS_BINARY\s0\fR is set then
  188. \&\fB\s-1CMS_TEXT\s0\fR is ignored.
  189. .PP
  190. OpenSSL will by default identify recipient certificates using issuer name
  191. and serial number. If \fB\s-1CMS_USE_KEYID\s0\fR is set it will use the subject key
  192. identifier value instead. An error occurs if all recipient certificates do not
  193. have a subject key identifier extension.
  194. .PP
  195. If the \fB\s-1CMS_STREAM\s0\fR flag is set a partial \fBCMS_ContentInfo\fR structure is
  196. returned suitable for streaming I/O: no data is read from the \s-1BIO\s0 \fBin\fR.
  197. .PP
  198. If the \fB\s-1CMS_PARTIAL\s0\fR flag is set a partial \fBCMS_ContentInfo\fR structure is
  199. returned to which additional recipients and attributes can be added before
  200. finalization.
  201. .PP
  202. The data being encrypted is included in the CMS_ContentInfo structure, unless
  203. \&\fB\s-1CMS_DETACHED\s0\fR is set in which case it is omitted. This is rarely used in
  204. practice and is not supported by \fBSMIME_write_CMS()\fR.
  205. .PP
  206. If the flag \fB\s-1CMS_STREAM\s0\fR is set the returned \fBCMS_ContentInfo\fR structure is
  207. \&\fBnot\fR complete and outputting its contents via a function that does not
  208. properly finalize the \fBCMS_ContentInfo\fR structure will give unpredictable
  209. results.
  210. .PP
  211. Several functions including \fBSMIME_write_CMS()\fR, \fBi2d_CMS_bio_stream()\fR,
  212. \&\fBPEM_write_bio_CMS_stream()\fR finalize the structure. Alternatively finalization
  213. can be performed by obtaining the streaming \s-1ASN1\s0 \fB\s-1BIO\s0\fR directly using
  214. \&\fBBIO_new_CMS()\fR.
  215. .PP
  216. The recipients specified in \fBcerts\fR use a \s-1CMS\s0 KeyTransRecipientInfo info
  217. structure. KEKRecipientInfo is also supported using the flag \fB\s-1CMS_PARTIAL\s0\fR
  218. and \fBCMS_add0_recipient_key()\fR.
  219. .PP
  220. The parameter \fBcerts\fR may be \s-1NULL\s0 if \fB\s-1CMS_PARTIAL\s0\fR is set and recipients
  221. added later using \fBCMS_add1_recipient_cert()\fR or \fBCMS_add0_recipient_key()\fR.
  222. .PP
  223. \&\fBCMS_encrypt()\fR is similar to \fBCMS_encrypt_ex()\fR but uses default values
  224. of \s-1NULL\s0 for the library context \fIlibctx\fR and the property query \fIpropq\fR.
  225. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  226. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  227. \&\fBCMS_encrypt_ex()\fR and \fBCMS_encrypt()\fR return either a CMS_ContentInfo
  228. structure or \s-1NULL\s0 if an error occurred. The error can be obtained from
  229. \&\fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).

  235. The function \fBCMS_encrypt_ex()\fR was added in OpenSSL 3.0.
