.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is turned on, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "PKCS7_decrypt 3" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
PKCS7_decrypt - decrypt content from a PKCS#7 envelopedData structure Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/pkcs7.h> \& int PKCS7_decrypt(PKCS7 *p7, EVP_PKEY *pkey, X509 *cert, BIO *data, int flags); .Ve Header "DESCRIPTION" \fIPKCS7_decrypt() extracts and decrypts the content from a PKCS#7 envelopedData structure. pkey is the private key of the recipient, cert is the recipients certificate, data is a \s-1BIO\s0 to write the content to and \fBflags is an optional set of flags. Header "NOTES" \fIOpenSSL_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 PKCS#7 structure.

The following flags can be passed in the flags parameter.

If the \s-1PKCS7_TEXT\s0 flag is set \s-1MIME\s0 headers for type text/plain are deleted from the content. If the content is not of type text/plain then an error is returned.

Header "RETURN VALUES" \fIPKCS7_decrypt() returns either 1 for success or 0 for failure. The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error\|(3) Header "BUGS" \fIPKCS7_decrypt() must be passed the correct recipient key and certificate. It would be better if it could look up the correct key and certificate from a database.

The lack of single pass processing and need to hold all data in memory as mentioned in PKCS7_sign() also applies to PKCS7_verify().

Header "SEE ALSO" \fIERR_get_error\|(3), PKCS7_encrypt\|(3) Header "HISTORY" \fIPKCS7_decrypt() was added to OpenSSL 0.9.5
