openssl_seal - Seal (encrypt) data

SYNOPSIS
int openssl_seal (string $data, string &$sealed_data, array &$env_keys, array $pub_key_ids, [string $method]) DESCRIPTION
openssl_seal(3) seals (encrypts) $data by using RC4 with a randomly generated secret key. The key is encrypted with each of the public keys associated with the identifiers in $pub_key_ids and each encrypted key is returned in $env_keys. This means that one can send sealed data to multiple recipients (provided one has obtained their public keys). Each recipient must receive both the sealed data and the envelope key that was encrypted with the recipient's public key. PARAMETERS
o $data - o $sealed_data - o $env_keys - o $pub_key_ids - RETURN VALUES
Returns the length of the sealed data on success, or FALSE on error. If successful the sealed data is returned in $sealed_data, and the envelope keys in $env_keys. EXAMPLES
Example #1 openssl_seal(3) example <?php // $data is assumed to contain the data to be sealed // fetch public keys for our recipients, and ready them $fp = fopen("/src/openssl-0.9.6/demos/maurice/cert.pem", "r"); $cert = fread($fp, 8192); fclose($fp); $pk1 = openssl_get_publickey($cert); // Repeat for second recipient $fp = fopen("/src/openssl-0.9.6/demos/sign/cert.pem", "r"); $cert = fread($fp, 8192); fclose($fp); $pk2 = openssl_get_publickey($cert); // seal message, only owners of $pk1 and $pk2 can decrypt $sealed with keys // $ekeys[0] and $ekeys[1] respectively. openssl_seal($data, $sealed, $ekeys, array($pk1, $pk2)); // free the keys from memory openssl_free_key($pk1); openssl_free_key($pk2); ?> SEE ALSO

NAME
CMS_decrypt - decrypt content from a CMS envelopedData structure SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/cms.h> int CMS_decrypt(CMS_ContentInfo *cms, EVP_PKEY *pkey, X509 *cert, BIO *dcont, BIO *out, unsigned int flags); DESCRIPTION
CMS_decrypt() extracts and decrypts the content from a CMS EnvelopedData structure. pkey is the private key of the recipient, cert is the recipient's certificate, out is a BIO to write the content to and flags is an optional set of flags. The dcont parameter is used in the rare case where the encrypted content is detached. It will normally be set to NULL. NOTES
OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() (or equivalent) should be called before using this function or errors about unknown algorithms will occur. 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 cert is set to NULL all possible recipients are tried. 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 cert and 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 cert and pkey set to NULL. The following flags can be passed in the flags parameter. If the CMS_TEXT flag is set MIME headers for type text/plain are deleted from the content. If the content is not of type text/plain then an error is returned. RETURN VALUES
CMS_decrypt() returns either 1 for success or 0 for failure. The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3) 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(). SEE ALSO
ERR_get_error(3), CMS_encrypt(3) HISTORY
CMS_decrypt() was added to OpenSSL 0.9.8 1.0.0e 2008-04-11 CMS_decrypt(3SSL)
