  155. .SH "DESCRIPTION"
  156. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  157. \&\fBPKCS7_encrypt_ex()\fR creates and returns a PKCS#7 envelopedData structure.
  158. \&\fIcerts\fR is a list of recipient certificates. \fIin\fR is the content to be
  159. encrypted. \fIcipher\fR is the symmetric cipher to use. \fIflags\fR is an optional set
  160. of flags. The library context \fIlibctx\fR and the property query \fIpropq\fR are used
  161. when retrieving algorithms from providers.
  162. .PP
  163. Only \s-1RSA\s0 keys are supported in PKCS#7 and envelopedData so the recipient
  164. certificates supplied to this function must all contain \s-1RSA\s0 public keys, though
  165. they do not have to be signed using the \s-1RSA\s0 algorithm.
  166. .PP
  167. \&\fBEVP_des_ede3_cbc()\fR (triple \s-1DES\s0) is the algorithm of choice for S/MIME use
  168. because most clients will support it.
  169. .PP
  170. Some old \*(L"export grade\*(R" clients may only support weak encryption using 40 or 64
  171. bit \s-1RC2.\s0 These can be used by passing \fBEVP_rc2_40_cbc()\fR and \fBEVP_rc2_64_cbc()\fR
  172. respectively.
  173. .PP
  174. The algorithm passed in the \fBcipher\fR parameter must support \s-1ASN1\s0 encoding of
  175. its parameters.
  176. .PP
  177. Many browsers implement a \*(L"sign and encrypt\*(R" option which is simply an S/MIME
  178. envelopedData containing an S/MIME signed message. This can be readily produced
  179. by storing the S/MIME signed message in a memory \s-1BIO\s0 and passing it to
  180. \&\fBPKCS7_encrypt()\fR.
  181. .PP
  182. The following flags can be passed in the \fBflags\fR parameter.
  183. .PP
  184. If the \fB\s-1PKCS7_TEXT\s0\fR flag is set \s-1MIME\s0 headers for type \fBtext/plain\fR are
  185. prepended to the data.
  186. .PP
  187. Normally the supplied content is translated into \s-1MIME\s0 canonical format (as
  188. required by the S/MIME specifications) if \fB\s-1PKCS7_BINARY\s0\fR is set no translation
  189. occurs. This option should be used if the supplied data is in binary format
  190. otherwise the translation will corrupt it. If \fB\s-1PKCS7_BINARY\s0\fR is set then
  191. \&\fB\s-1PKCS7_TEXT\s0\fR is ignored.
  192. .PP
  193. If the \fB\s-1PKCS7_STREAM\s0\fR flag is set a partial \fB\s-1PKCS7\s0\fR structure is output
  194. suitable for streaming I/O: no data is read from the \s-1BIO\s0 \fBin\fR.
  195. .PP
  196. If the flag \fB\s-1PKCS7_STREAM\s0\fR is set the returned \fB\s-1PKCS7\s0\fR structure is \fBnot\fR
  197. complete and outputting its contents via a function that does not
  198. properly finalize the \fB\s-1PKCS7\s0\fR structure will give unpredictable
  199. results.
  200. .PP
  201. Several functions including \fBSMIME_write_PKCS7()\fR, \fBi2d_PKCS7_bio_stream()\fR,
  202. \&\fBPEM_write_bio_PKCS7_stream()\fR finalize the structure. Alternatively finalization
  203. can be performed by obtaining the streaming \s-1ASN1\s0 \fB\s-1BIO\s0\fR directly using
  204. \&\fBBIO_new_PKCS7()\fR.
  205. .PP
  206. \&\fBPKCS7_encrypt()\fR is similar to \fBPKCS7_encrypt_ex()\fR but uses default
  207. values of \s-1NULL\s0 for the library context \fIlibctx\fR and the property query \fIpropq\fR.
  208. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  209. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  210. \&\fBPKCS7_encrypt_ex()\fR and \fBPKCS7_encrypt()\fR return either a \s-1PKCS7\s0 structure
  211. or \s-1NULL\s0 if an error occurred. The error can be obtained from \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).

  217. The function \fBPKCS7_encrypt_ex()\fR was added in OpenSSL 3.0.
  218. .PP
  219. The \fB\s-1PKCS7_STREAM\s0\fR flag was added in OpenSSL 1.0.0.
