B +is a list of recipient certificates. B is the content to be encrypted. +B is the symmetric cipher to use. B is an optional set of flags. + +=head1 NOTES + +Only RSA keys are supported in PKCS#7 and envelopedData so the recipient +certificates supplied to this function must all contain RSA public keys, though +they do not have to be signed using the RSA algorithm. + +EVP_des_ede3_cbc() (triple DES) is the algorithm of choice for S/MIME use +because most clients will support it. + +Some old "export grade" clients may only support weak encryption using 40 or 64 +bit RC2. These can be used by passing EVP_rc2_40_cbc() and EVP_rc2_64_cbc() +respectively. + +The algorithm passed in the B parameter must support ASN1 encoding of +its parameters. + +Many browsers implement a "sign and encrypt" 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 +PKCS7_encrypt(). + +The following flags can be passed in the B parameter. + +If the B flag is set MIME headers for type B are +prepended to the data. + +Normally the supplied content is translated into MIME canonical format (as +required by the S/MIME specifications) if B 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 B is set then +B is ignored. + +If the B flag is set a partial B structure is output +suitable for streaming I/O: no data is read from the BIO B. + +=head1 NOTES + +If the flag B is set the returned B structure is B +complete and outputting its contents via a function that does not +properly finalize the B structure will give unpredictable +results. + +Several functions including SMIME_write_PKCS7(), i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream(), +PEM_write_bio_PKCS7_stream() finalize the structure. Alternatively finalization +can be performed by obtaining the streaming ASN1 B directly using +BIO_new_PKCS7(). + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +PKCS7_encrypt() returns either a PKCS7 structure or NULL if an error occurred. +The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3). + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L, L + +=head1 HISTORY + +The B flag was added in OpenSSL 1.0.0. + +=head1 COPYRIGHT + +Copyright 2002-2016 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
