PKCS7_decrypt - decrypt content from a PKCS#7 envelopedData structure

int PKCS7_decrypt(PKCS7 *p7, EVP_PKEY *pkey, X509 *cert, BIO *data, int flags);
15
PKCS7_decrypt() extracts and decrypts the content from a PKCS#7 envelopedData
16
structure. B<pkey> is the private key of the recipient, B<cert> is the
17
recipients certificate, B<data> is a BIO to write the content to and
18
B<flags> is an optional set of flags.
22
OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() (or equivalent) should be called before using this
23
function or errors about unknown algorithms will occur.
25
Although the recipients certificate is not needed to decrypt the data it is needed
26
to locate the appropriate (of possible several) recipients in the PKCS#7 structure.
28
The following flags can be passed in the B<flags> parameter.
30
If the B<PKCS7_TEXT> flag is set MIME headers for type B<text/plain> are deleted
31
from the content. If the content is not of type B<text/plain> then an error is
36
PKCS7_decrypt() returns either 1 for success or 0 for failure.
37
The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3)
41
PKCS7_decrypt() must be passed the correct recipient key and certificate. It would
42
be better if it could look up the correct key and certificate from a database.
44
The lack of single pass processing and need to hold all data in memory as
45
mentioned in PKCS7_sign() also applies to PKCS7_verify().
