=head1 NAME

CMS_decrypt, CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey_and_peer,
CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey, CMS_decrypt_set1_password
- 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);
 int CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey_and_peer(CMS_ContentInfo *cms,
                 EVP_PKEY *pk, X509 *cert, X509 *peer);
 int CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey(CMS_ContentInfo *cms, EVP_PKEY *pk, X509 *cert);
 int CMS_decrypt_set1_password(CMS_ContentInfo *cms,
                               unsigned char *pass, ossl_ssize_t passlen);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

CMS_decrypt() extracts and decrypts the content from a CMS EnvelopedData
or AuthEnvelopedData structure. I<pkey> is the private key of the recipient,
I<cert> is the recipient's certificate, I<out> is a BIO to write the content to
and I<flags> is an optional set of flags.

The I<dcont> parameter is used in the rare case where the encrypted content
is detached. It will normally be set to NULL.

CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey_and_peer() associates the private key I<pkey>, the
corresponding certificate I<cert> and the originator certificate I<peer> with
the CMS_ContentInfo structure I<cms>.

CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey() associates the private key I<pkey> and the corresponding
certificate I<cert> with the CMS_ContentInfo structure I<cms>.

CMS_decrypt_set1_password() associates the secret I<pass> of length I<passlen>
with the CMS_ContentInfo structure I<cms>.

=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 I<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 I<cert> and I<pkey> should be set to NULL.

To process KEKRecipientInfo types CMS_set1_key() or CMS_RecipientInfo_set0_key()
and CMS_RecipientInfo_decrypt() should be called before CMS_decrypt() and
I<cert> and I<pkey> set to NULL.

The following flags can be passed in the I<flags> parameter.

If the B<CMS_TEXT> flag is set MIME headers for type C<text/plain> are deleted
from the content. If the content is not of type C<text/plain> then an error is
returned.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

CMS_decrypt(), CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey_and_peer(),
CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey(), and CMS_decrypt_set1_password()
return 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().
