<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
<p><code>CMS_encrypt()</code> creates and returns a CMS EnvelopedData structure. <strong>certs</strong>
is a list of recipient certificates. <strong>in</strong> is the content to be encrypted.
<strong>cipher</strong> is the symmetric cipher to use. <strong>flags</strong> is an optional set of flags.</p>
<p>Only certificates carrying RSA, Diffie-Hellman or EC keys are supported by this
function.</p>
<p>EVP_des_ede3_cbc() (triple DES) is the algorithm of choice for S/MIME use
because most clients will support it.</p>
<p>The algorithm passed in the <strong>cipher</strong> parameter must support ASN1 encoding of
its parameters.</p>
<p>Many browsers implement a &quot;sign and encrypt&quot; 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
<code>CMS_encrypt()</code>.</p>
<p>The following flags can be passed in the <strong>flags</strong> parameter.</p>
<p>If the <strong>CMS_TEXT</strong> flag is set MIME headers for type <strong>text/plain</strong> are
prepended to the data.</p>
<p>Normally the supplied content is translated into MIME canonical format (as
required by the S/MIME specifications) if <strong>CMS_BINARY</strong> 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 <strong>CMS_BINARY</strong> is set then
<strong>CMS_TEXT</strong> is ignored.</p>
<p>OpenSSL will by default identify recipient certificates using issuer name
and serial number. If <strong>CMS_USE_KEYID</strong> 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.</p>
<p>If the <strong>CMS_STREAM</strong> flag is set a partial <strong>CMS_ContentInfo</strong> structure is
returned suitable for streaming I/O: no data is read from the BIO <strong>in</strong>.</p>
<p>If the <strong>CMS_PARTIAL</strong> flag is set a partial <strong>CMS_ContentInfo</strong> structure is
returned to which additional recipients and attributes can be added before
finalization.</p>
<p>The data being encrypted is included in the CMS_ContentInfo structure, unless
<strong>CMS_DETACHED</strong> is set in which case it is omitted. This is rarely used in
practice and is not supported by <code>SMIME_write_CMS()</code>.</p>
<p>If the flag <strong>CMS_STREAM</strong> is set the returned <strong>CMS_ContentInfo</strong> structure is
<strong>not</strong> complete and outputting its contents via a function that does not
properly finalize the <strong>CMS_ContentInfo</strong> structure will give unpredictable
results.</p>
<p>Several functions including <code>SMIME_write_CMS()</code>, i2d_CMS_bio_stream(),
<code>PEM_write_bio_CMS_stream()</code> finalize the structure. Alternatively finalization
can be performed by obtaining the streaming ASN1 <strong>BIO</strong> directly using
<code>BIO_new_CMS()</code>.</p>
<p>The recipients specified in <strong>certs</strong> use a CMS KeyTransRecipientInfo info
structure. KEKRecipientInfo is also supported using the flag <strong>CMS_PARTIAL</strong>
and CMS_add0_recipient_key().</p>
<p>The parameter <strong>certs</strong> may be NULL if <strong>CMS_PARTIAL</strong> is set and recipients
added later using CMS_add1_recipient_cert() or CMS_add0_recipient_key().</p>

<h1><a name="return_values">RETURN VALUES</a></h1>
<p><code>CMS_encrypt()</code> returns either a CMS_ContentInfo structure or NULL if an error
occurred. The error can be obtained from <code>ERR_get_error(3)</code>.</p>
