| |
| CMS_add1_signer, CMS_SignerInfo_sign - add a signer to a CMS_ContentInfo signed data structure |
| |
| =head1 SYNOPSIS |
| |
| #include <openssl/cms.h> |
| |
| CMS_SignerInfo *CMS_add1_signer(CMS_ContentInfo *cms, X509 *signcert, |
| EVP_PKEY *pkey, const EVP_MD *md, |
| unsigned int flags); |
| |
| int CMS_SignerInfo_sign(CMS_SignerInfo *si); |
| |
| =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| |
| CMS_add1_signer() adds a signer with certificate B<signcert> and private |
| key B<pkey> using message digest B<md> to CMS_ContentInfo SignedData |
| structure B<cms>. |
| |
| The CMS_ContentInfo structure should be obtained from an initial call to |
| CMS_sign() with the flag B<CMS_PARTIAL> set or in the case or re-signing a |
| valid CMS_ContentInfo SignedData structure. |
| |
| If the B<md> parameter is B<NULL> then the default digest for the public |
| key algorithm will be used. |
| |
| Unless the B<CMS_REUSE_DIGEST> flag is set the returned CMS_ContentInfo |
| structure is not complete and must be finalized either by streaming (if |
| applicable) or a call to CMS_final(). |
| |
| The CMS_SignerInfo_sign() function will explicitly sign a CMS_SignerInfo |
| structure, its main use is when B<CMS_REUSE_DIGEST> and B<CMS_PARTIAL> flags |
| are both set. |
| |
| =head1 NOTES |
| |
| The main purpose of CMS_add1_signer() is to provide finer control |
| over a CMS signed data structure where the simpler CMS_sign() function defaults |
| are not appropriate. For example if multiple signers or non default digest |
| algorithms are needed. New attributes can also be added using the returned |
| CMS_SignerInfo structure and the CMS attribute utility functions or the |
| CMS signed receipt request functions. |
| |
| Any of the following flags (ored together) can be passed in the B<flags> |
| parameter. |
| |
| If B<CMS_REUSE_DIGEST> is set then an attempt is made to copy the content |
| digest value from the CMS_ContentInfo structure: to add a signer to an existing |
| structure. An error occurs if a matching digest value cannot be found to copy. |
| The returned CMS_ContentInfo structure will be valid and finalized when this |
| flag is set. |
| |
| If B<CMS_PARTIAL> is set in addition to B<CMS_REUSE_DIGEST> then the |
| CMS_SignerInfo structure will not be finalized so additional attributes |
| can be added. In this case an explicit call to CMS_SignerInfo_sign() is |
| needed to finalize it. |
| |
| If B<CMS_NOCERTS> is set the signer's certificate will not be included in the |
| CMS_ContentInfo structure, the signer's certificate must still be supplied in |
| the B<signcert> parameter though. This can reduce the size of the signature if |
| the signers certificate can be obtained by other means: for example a |
| previously signed message. |
| |
| The SignedData structure includes several CMS signedAttributes including the |
| signing time, the CMS content type and the supported list of ciphers in an |
| SMIMECapabilities attribute. If B<CMS_NOATTR> is set then no signedAttributes |
| will be used. If B<CMS_NOSMIMECAP> is set then just the SMIMECapabilities are |
| omitted. |
| |
| OpenSSL will by default identify signing certificates using issuer name |
| and serial number. If B<CMS_USE_KEYID> is set it will use the subject key |
| identifier value instead. An error occurs if the signing certificate does not |
| have a subject key identifier extension. |
| |
| If present the SMIMECapabilities attribute indicates support for the following |
| algorithms in preference order: 256 bit AES, Gost R3411-94, Gost 28147-89, 192 |
| bit AES, 128 bit AES, triple DES, 128 bit RC2, 64 bit RC2, DES and 40 bit RC2. |
| If any of these algorithms is not available then it will not be included: for example the GOST algorithms will not be included if the GOST ENGINE is |
| not loaded. |
| |
| CMS_add1_signer() returns an internal pointer to the CMS_SignerInfo |
| structure just added, this can be used to set additional attributes |
| before it is finalized. |
| |
| =head1 RETURN VALUES |
| |
| CMS_add1_signer() returns an internal pointer to the CMS_SignerInfo |
| structure just added or NULL if an error occurs. |
