| 17 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | ||
| 18 | .Fn PKCS7_sign | ||
| 19 | creates and returns a PKCS#7 signedData structure. | ||
| 20 | .Fa signcert | ||
| 21 | is the certificate to sign with, | ||
| 22 | .Fa pkey | ||
| 23 | is the corresponding private key. | ||
| 24 | .Fa certs | ||
| 25 | is an optional additional set of certificates to include in the PKCS#7 | ||
| 26 | structure (for example any intermediate CAs in the chain). | ||
| 27 | .Pp | ||
| 28 | The data to be signed is read from | ||
| 29 | .Vt BIO | ||
| 30 | .Fa data . | ||
| 31 | .Pp | ||
| 32 | .Fa flags | ||
| 33 | is an optional set of flags. | ||
| 34 | .Pp | ||
| 35 | Any of the following flags (OR'ed together) can be passed in the | ||
| 36 | .Fa flags | ||
| 37 | parameter. | ||
| 38 | .Pp | ||
| 39 | Many S/MIME clients expect the signed content to include valid MIME | ||
| 40 | headers. | ||
| 41 | If the | ||
| 42 | .Dv PKCS7_TEXT | ||
| 43 | flag is set, MIME headers for type | ||
| 44 | .Sy text/plain | ||
| 45 | are prepended to the data. | ||
| 46 | .Pp | ||
| 47 | If | ||
| 48 | .Dv PKCS7_NOCERTS | ||
| 49 | is set, the signer's certificate will not be included in the PKCS7 | ||
| 50 | structure, the signer's certificate must still be supplied in the | ||
| 51 | .Fa signcert | ||
| 52 | parameter though. | ||
| 53 | This can reduce the size of the signature if the signers certificate can | ||
| 54 | be obtained by other means: for example a previously signed message. | ||
| 55 | .Pp | ||
| 56 | The data being signed is included in the | ||
| 57 | .Vt PKCS7 | ||
| 58 | structure, unless | ||
| 59 | .Dv PKCS7_DETACHED | ||
| 60 | is set in which case it is omitted. | ||
| 61 | This is used for PKCS7 detached signatures which are used in S/MIME | ||
| 62 | plaintext signed messages for example. | ||
| 63 | .Pp | ||
| 64 | Normally the supplied content is translated into MIME canonical format | ||
| 65 | (as required by the S/MIME specifications). | ||
| 66 | If | ||
| 67 | .Dv PKCS7_BINARY | ||
| 68 | is set, no translation occurs. | ||
| 69 | This option should be used if the supplied data is in binary format; | ||
| 70 | otherwise, the translation will corrupt it. | ||
| 71 | .Pp | ||
| 72 | The signedData structure includes several PKCS#7 authenticatedAttributes | ||
| 73 | including the signing time, the PKCS#7 content type and the supported | ||
| 74 | list of ciphers in an SMIMECapabilities attribute. | ||
| 75 | If | ||
| 76 | .Dv PKCS7_NOATTR | ||
| 77 | is set, then no authenticatedAttributes will be used. | ||
| 78 | If | ||
| 79 | .Dv PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP | ||
| 80 | is set, then just the SMIMECapabilities are omitted. | ||
| 81 | .Pp | ||
| 82 | If present, the SMIMECapabilities attribute indicates support for the | ||
| 83 | following algorithms: triple DES, 128 bit RC2, 64 bit RC2, DES and 40 | ||
| 84 | bit RC2. | ||
| 85 | If any of these algorithms is disabled then it will not be included. | ||
| 86 | .Pp | ||
| 87 | If the flags | ||
| 88 | .Dv PKCS7_STREAM | ||
| 89 | is set, then the returned | ||
| 90 | .Vt PKCS7 | ||
| 91 | structure is just initialized ready to perform the signing operation. | ||
| 92 | The signing is however | ||
| 93 | .Sy not | ||
| 94 | performed and the data to be signed is not read from the | ||
| 95 | .Fa data | ||
| 96 | parameter. | ||
| 97 | Signing is deferred until after the data has been written. | ||
| 98 | In this way data can be signed in a single pass. | ||
| 99 | .Pp | ||
| 100 | If the | ||
| 101 | .Dv PKCS7_PARTIAL | ||
| 102 | flag is set, a partial | ||
| 103 | .Vt PKCS7 | ||
| 104 | structure is output to which additional signers and capabilities can be | ||
| 105 | added before finalization. | ||
| 106 | .Pp | ||
| 107 | If the flag | ||
| 108 | .Dv PKCS7_STREAM | ||
| 109 | is set, the returned | ||
| 110 | .Vt PKCS7 | ||
| 111 | structure is | ||
| 112 | .Sy not | ||
| 113 | complete and outputting its contents via a function that does not | ||
| 114 | properly finalize the | ||
| 115 | .Vt PKCS7 | ||
| 116 | structure will give unpredictable results. | ||
| 117 | .Pp | ||
| 118 | Several functions including | ||
| 119 | .Xr SMIME_write_PKCS7 3 , | ||
| 120 | .Xr i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream 3 , | ||
| 121 | .Xr PEM_write_bio_PKCS7_stream 3 | ||
| 122 | finalize the structure. | ||
| 123 | Alternatively finalization can be performed by obtaining the streaming | ||
| 124 | ASN1 | ||
| 125 | .Vt BIO | ||
| 126 | directly using | ||
| 127 | .Xr BIO_new_PKCS7 3 . | ||
| 128 | .Pp | ||
| 129 | If a signer is specified, it will use the default digest for the | ||
| 130 | signing algorithm. | ||
| 131 | This is | ||
| 132 | .Sy SHA1 | ||
| 133 | for both RSA and DSA keys. | ||
| 134 | .Pp | ||
| 135 | In OpenSSL 1.0.0, the | ||
| 136 | .Fa certs , | ||
| 137 | .Fa signcert , | ||
| 138 | and | ||
| 139 | .Fa pkey | ||
| 140 | parameters can all be | ||
| 141 | .Dv NULL | ||
| 142 | if the | ||
| 143 | .Dv PKCS7_PARTIAL | ||
| 144 | flag is set. | ||
| 145 | One or more signers can be added using the function | ||
| 146 | .Xr PKCS7_sign_add_signer 3. | ||
| 147 | .Xr PKCS7_final 3 | ||
| 148 | must also be called to finalize the structure if streaming is not | ||
| 149 | enabled. | ||
| 150 | Alternative signing digests can also be specified using this method. | ||
| 151 | .Pp | ||
| 152 | In OpenSSL 1.0.0, if | ||
| 153 | .Fa signcert | ||
| 154 | and | ||
| 155 | .Fa pkey | ||
| 156 | are | ||
| 157 | .Dv NULL , | ||
| 158 | then a certificates only PKCS#7 structure is output. | ||
| 159 | .Pp | ||
| 160 | In versions of OpenSSL before 1.0.0 the | ||
| 161 | .Fa signcert | ||
| 162 | and | ||
| 163 | .Fa pkey | ||
| 164 | parameters must | ||
| 165 | .Sy NOT | ||
| 166 | be | ||
| 167 | .Dv NULL . | ||
| 168 | .Sh RETURN VALUES | ||
| 169 | .Fn PKCS7_sign | ||
| 170 | returns either a valid | ||
| 171 | .Vt PKCS7 | ||
| 172 | structure or | ||
| 173 | .Dv NULL | ||
| 174 | if an error occurred. | ||
| 175 | The error can be obtained from | ||
| 176 | .Fn ERR_get_error 3 . | ||

| 180 | .Sh HISTORY | ||
| 181 | .Fn PKCS7_sign | ||
| 182 | was added to OpenSSL 0.9.5. | ||
| 183 | .Pp | ||
| 184 | The | ||
| 185 | .Dv PKCS7_PARTIAL | ||
| 186 | and | ||
| 187 | .Dv PKCS7_STREAM | ||
| 188 | flags were added in OpenSSL 1.0.0. | ||
| 189 | .Sh BUGS | ||
| 190 | Some advanced attributes such as counter signatures are not supported. | ||
