B is the private key of the recipient, B is the +recipient's certificate, B is a BIO to write the content to and +B is an optional set of flags. + +The B 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 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 is set +then the above behaviour is modified and an error B returned if no +recipient encrypted key can be decrypted B generating a random +content encryption key. Applications should use this flag with +B 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 and B 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 and B set to NULL. + +The following flags can be passed in the B parameter. + +If the B flag is set MIME headers for type B are deleted +from the content. If the content is not of type B 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(). + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L, L + +=head1 COPYRIGHT + +Copyright 2008-2016 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
