=head1 DESCRIPTION

The function CMS_get0_RecipientInfos() returns all the CMS_RecipientInfo
structures associated with a CMS EnvelopedData structure.

CMS_RecipientInfo_type() returns the type of CMS_RecipientInfo structure B<ri>.
It will currently return CMS_RECIPINFO_TRANS, CMS_RECIPINFO_AGREE,
CMS_RECIPINFO_KEK, CMS_RECIPINFO_PASS, or CMS_RECIPINFO_OTHER.

CMS_RecipientInfo_ktri_get0_signer_id() retrieves the certificate recipient
identifier associated with a specific CMS_RecipientInfo structure B<ri>, which
must be of type CMS_RECIPINFO_TRANS. Either the keyidentifier will be set in
B<keyid> or B<both> issuer name and serial number in B<issuer> and B<sno>. 

CMS_RecipientInfo_ktri_cert_cmp() compares the certificate B<cert> against the
CMS_RecipientInfo structure B<ri>, which must be of type CMS_RECIPINFO_TRANS.
It returns zero if the comparison is successful and non zero if not.

CMS_RecipientInfo_set0_pkey() associates the private key B<pkey> with
the CMS_RecipientInfo structure B<ri>, which must be of type
CMS_RECIPINFO_TRANS.

CMS_RecipientInfo_kekri_get0_id() retrieves the key information from the
CMS_RecipientInfo structure B<ri> which must be of type CMS_RECIPINFO_KEK.  Any
of the remaining parameters can be NULL if the application is not interested in
the value of a field. Where a field is optional and absent NULL will be written
to the corresponding parameter. The keyEncryptionAlgorithm field is written to
B<palg>, the B<keyIdentifier> field is written to B<pid>, the B<date> field if
present is written to B<pdate>, if the B<other> field is present the components
B<keyAttrId> and B<keyAttr> are written to parameters B<potherid> and
B<pothertype>.

CMS_RecipientInfo_kekri_id_cmp() compares the ID in the B<id> and B<idlen>
parameters against the B<keyIdentifier> CMS_RecipientInfo structure B<ri>,
which must be of type CMS_RECIPINFO_KEK.  It returns zero if the comparison is
successful and non zero if not.

CMS_RecipientInfo_set0_key() associates the symmetric key B<key> of length
B<keylen> with the CMS_RecipientInfo structure B<ri>, which must be of type
CMS_RECIPINFO_KEK.

CMS_RecipientInfo_decrypt() attempts to decrypt CMS_RecipientInfo structure
B<ri> in structure B<cms>. A key must have been associated with the structure
first.

=head1 NOTES

The main purpose of these functions is to enable an application to lookup
recipient keys using any appropriate technique when the simpler method
of CMS_decrypt() is not appropriate.

In typical usage and application will retrieve all CMS_RecipientInfo structures
using CMS_get0_RecipientInfos() and check the type of each using
CMS_RecpientInfo_type(). Depending on the type the CMS_RecipientInfo structure
can be ignored or its key identifier data retrieved using an appropriate
function. Then if the corresponding secret or private key can be obtained by
any appropriate means it can then associated with the structure and
CMS_RecpientInfo_decrypt() called. If successful CMS_decrypt() can be called
with a NULL key to decrypt the enveloped content.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

CMS_get0_RecipientInfos() returns all CMS_RecipientInfo structures, or NULL if
an error occurs.

CMS_RecipientInfo_ktri_get0_signer_id(), CMS_RecipientInfo_set0_pkey(),
CMS_RecipientInfo_kekri_get0_id(), CMS_RecipientInfo_set0_key() and
CMS_RecipientInfo_decrypt() return 1 for success or 0 if an error occurs.

CMS_RecipientInfo_ktri_cert_cmp() and CMS_RecipientInfo_kekri_cmp() return 0
for a successful comparison and non zero otherwise.

Any error can be obtained from L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.
