It will normally be set to NULL.</p> <h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1> <p>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.</p> <p>If <b>cert</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>CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT</b> is set then the above behaviour is modified and an error <b>is</b> returned if no recipient encrypted key can be decrypted <b>without</b> generating a random content encryption key. Applications should use this flag with <b>extreme caution</b> especially in automated gateways as it can leave them open to attack.</p> <p>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>cert</b> and <b>pkey</b> should be set to NULL.</p> <p>To process KEKRecipientInfo types CMS_set1_key() or CMS_RecipientInfo_set0_key() and CMS_RecipientInfo_decrypt() should be called before CMS_decrypt() and <b>cert</b> and <b>pkey</b> set to NULL.</p> <p>The following flags can be passed in the <b>flags</b> parameter.</p> <p>If the <b>CMS_TEXT</b> flag is set MIME headers for type <b>text/plain</b> are deleted from the content. If the content is not of type <b>text/plain</b> then an error is returned.</p> <h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1> <p>CMS_decrypt() returns either 1 for success or 0 for failure. The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3)</p> <h1 id="BUGS">BUGS</h1> <p>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().</p> <h1 id="SEE-ALSO">SEE ALSO</h1> <p><a href="../man3/ERR_get_error.html">ERR_get_error(3)</a>, <a href="../man3/CMS_encrypt.html">CMS_encrypt(3)</a></p> <h1 id="COPYRIGHT">COPYRIGHT</h1> <p>Copyright 2008-2016 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
