+=head1 NAME
+
+CMS_decrypt - decrypt content from a CMS envelopedData structure
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/cms.h>
+
+ int CMS_decrypt(CMS_ContentInfo *cms, EVP_PKEY *pkey, X509 *cert, BIO *dcont, BIO *out, unsigned int flags);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+CMS_decrypt() extracts and decrypts the content from a CMS EnvelopedData
+structure. B<pkey> is the private key of the recipient, B<cert> is the
+recipient's certificate, B<out> is a BIO to write the content to and
+B<flags> is an optional set of flags.
+
+The B<dcont> parameter is used in the rare case where the encrypted content
+is detached. It will normally be set to NULL.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+Although the recipients certificate is not needed to decrypt the data it is
+needed to locate the appropriate (of possible several) recipients in the CMS
+structure.
+
+If B<cert> is set to NULL all possible recipients are tried. This case however
+is problematic. To thwart the MMA attack (Bleichenbacher's attack on
+PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) all recipients are tried whether they succeed or
+not. If no recipient succeeds then a random symmetric key is used to decrypt
+the content: this will typically output garbage and may (but is not guaranteed
+to) ultimately return a padding error only. If CMS_decrypt() just returned an
+error when all recipient encrypted keys failed to decrypt an attacker could
+use this in a timing attack. If the special flag B<CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT> is set
+then the above behaviour is modified and an error B<is> returned if no
+recipient encrypted key can be decrypted B<without> generating a random
+content encryption key. Applications should use this flag with
+B<extreme caution> especially in automated gateways as it can leave them
+open to attack.
+
+It is possible to determine the correct recipient key by other means (for
+example looking them up in a database) and setting them in the CMS structure
+in advance using the CMS utility functions such as CMS_set1_pkey(). In this
+case both B<cert> and B<pkey> should be set to NULL.
+
+To process KEKRecipientInfo types CMS_set1_key() or CMS_RecipientInfo_set0_key()
+and CMS_ReceipientInfo_decrypt() should be called before CMS_decrypt() and
+B<cert> and B<pkey> set to NULL.
+
+The following flags can be passed in the B<flags> parameter.
+
+If the B<CMS_TEXT> flag is set MIME headers for type B<text/plain> are deleted
+from the content. If the content is not of type B<text/plain> then an error is
+returned.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+CMS_decrypt() returns either 1 for success or 0 for failure.
+The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3)
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+The lack of single pass processing and the need to hold all data in memory as
+mentioned in CMS_verify() also applies to CMS_decrypt().
