B<pkey> is the private key of the recipient, B<cert> is the +recipient's certificate, B<out> is a BIO to write the content to and +B<flags> is an optional set of flags. + +The B<dcont> parameter is used in the rare case where the encrypted content +is detached. It will normally be set to NULL. + +=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 CMS +structure. If B<cert> is set to NULL all possible recipients are tried. + +It is possible to determine the correct recipient key by other means (for +example looking them up in a database) and setting them in the CMS structure +in advance using the CMS utility functions such as CMS_set1_pkey(). In this +case both B<cert> and B<pkey> should be set to NULL. + +To process KEKRecipientInfo types CMS_set1_key() or CMS_RecipientInfo_set0_key() +and CMS_ReceipientInfo_decrypt() should be called before CMS_decrypt() and +B<cert> and B<pkey> set to NULL. + +The following flags can be passed in the B<flags> parameter. + +If the B<CMS_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 + +CMS_decrypt() returns either 1 for success or 0 for failure. +The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3) + +=head1 BUGS + +The lack of single pass processing and the need to hold all data in memory as +mentioned in CMS_verify() also applies to CMS_decrypt(). + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>, L<CMS_encrypt(3)|CMS_encrypt(3)> + +=head1 HISTORY + +CMS_decrypt() was added to OpenSSL 0.9.8 + +=cut |
