B<certs> -is a list of recipient certificates. B<in> is the content to be encrypted. -B<cipher> is the symmetric cipher to use. B<flags> is an optional set of flags. - -=head1 NOTES - -Only certificates carrying RSA keys are supported so the recipient certificates -supplied to this function must all contain RSA public keys, though they do not -have to be signed using the RSA algorithm. - -EVP_des_ede3_cbc() (triple DES) is the algorithm of choice for S/MIME use -because most clients will support it. - -The algorithm passed in the B<cipher> parameter must support ASN1 encoding of -its parameters. - -Many browsers implement a "sign and encrypt" option which is simply an S/MIME -envelopedData containing an S/MIME signed message. This can be readily produced -by storing the S/MIME signed message in a memory BIO and passing it to -CMS_encrypt(). - -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 -prepended to the data. - -Normally the supplied content is translated into MIME canonical format (as -required by the S/MIME specifications) if B<CMS_BINARY> is set no translation -occurs. This option should be used if the supplied data is in binary format -otherwise the translation will corrupt it. If B<CMS_BINARY> is set then -B<CMS_TEXT> is ignored. - -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. - -If the B<CMS_STREAM> flag is set a partial B<CMS_ContentInfo> structure is -returned suitable for streaming I/O: no data is read from the BIO B<in>. - -If the B<CMS_PARTIAL> flag is set a partial B<CMS_ContentInfo> structure is -returned to which additional recipients and attributes can be added before -finalization. - -The data being encrypted is included in the CMS_ContentInfo structure, unless -B<CMS_DETACHED> is set in which case it is omitted. This is rarely used in -practice and is not supported by SMIME_write_CMS(). - -=head1 NOTES - -If the flag B<CMS_STREAM> is set the returned B<CMS_ContentInfo> structure is -B<not> complete and outputting its contents via a function that does not -properly finalize the B<CMS_ContentInfo> structure will give unpredictable -results. - -Several functions including SMIME_write_CMS(), i2d_CMS_bio_stream(), -PEM_write_bio_CMS_stream() finalize the structure. Alternatively finalization -can be performed by obtaining the streaming ASN1 B<BIO> directly using -BIO_new_CMS(). - -The recipients specified in B<certs> use a CMS KeyTransRecipientInfo info -structure. KEKRecipientInfo is also supported using the flag B<CMS_PARTIAL> -and CMS_add0_recipient_key(). - -The parameter B<certs> may be NULL if B<CMS_PARTIAL> is set and recipients -added later using CMS_add1_recipient_cert() or CMS_add0_recipient_key(). - -=head1 RETURN VALUES - -CMS_encrypt() returns either a CMS_ContentInfo structure or NULL if an error -occurred. The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3). - -=head1 SEE ALSO - -L<ERR_get_error(3)>, L<CMS_decrypt(3)> - -=head1 HISTORY - -The B<CMS_STREAM> flag was first supported in OpenSSL 1.0.0. - -=head1 COPYRIGHT - -Copyright 2008-2016 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
