For example if one or more KEKRecipientInfo structures +need to be added. New attributes can also be added using the returned +CMS_RecipientInfo structure and the CMS attribute utility functions. + +OpenSSL will by default identify recipient certificates using issuer name +and serial number. If B<CMS_USE_KEYID> is set it will use the subject key +identifier value instead. An error occurs if all recipient certificates do not +have a subject key identifier extension. + +Currently only AES based key wrapping algorithms are supported for B<nid>, +specifically: NID_id_aes128_wrap, NID_id_aes192_wrap and NID_id_aes256_wrap. +If B<nid> is set to B<NID_undef> then an AES wrap algorithm will be used +consistent with B<keylen>. + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +CMS_add1_recipient_cert() and CMS_add0_recipient_key() return an internal +pointer to the CMS_RecipientInfo structure just added or NULL if an error +occurs. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>, L<CMS_decrypt(3)|CMS_decrypt(3)>, +L<CMS_final(3)|CMS_final(3)>, + +=head1 HISTORY + +CMS_add1_recipient_cert() and CMS_add0_recipient_key() were added to OpenSSL +0.9.8 + +=cut |
