  2. =head1 NAME
  3. PKCS7_decrypt - decrypt content from a PKCS#7 envelopedData structure
  4. =head1 SYNOPSIS
  5. #include <openssl/pkcs7.h>
  6. int PKCS7_decrypt(PKCS7 *p7, EVP_PKEY *pkey, X509 *cert, BIO *data, int flags);
  7. =head1 DESCRIPTION
  8. PKCS7_decrypt() extracts and decrypts the content from a PKCS#7 envelopedData
  9. structure. B<pkey> is the private key of the recipient, B<cert> is the
  10. recipients certificate, B<data> is a BIO to write the content to and
  11. B<flags> is an optional set of flags.
  12. =head1 NOTES
  13. Although the recipients certificate is not needed to decrypt the data it is needed
  14. to locate the appropriate (of possible several) recipients in the PKCS#7 structure.
  15. The following flags can be passed in the B<flags> parameter.
  16. If the B<PKCS7_TEXT> flag is set MIME headers for type B<text/plain> are deleted
  17. from the content. If the content is not of type B<text/plain> then an error is
  18. returned.
  19. =head1 RETURN VALUES
  20. PKCS7_decrypt() returns either 1 for success or 0 for failure.
  21. The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3)
  22. =head1 BUGS
  23. PKCS7_decrypt() must be passed the correct recipient key and certificate. It would
  24. be better if it could look up the correct key and certificate from a database.
  25. The lack of single pass processing and need to hold all data in memory as
  26. mentioned in PKCS7_sign() also applies to PKCS7_verify().
