SMIME_read_CMS - parse S/MIME message
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#include <openssl/cms.h>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CMS_ContentInfo *SMIME_read_CMS(BIO *in, BIO **bcont);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SMIME_read_CMS() parses a message in S/MIME format.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
B<in> is a BIO to read the message from.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If cleartext signing is used then the content is saved in a memory bio which is
|
||
|
|
written to B<*bcont>, otherwise B<*bcont> is set to NULL.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The parsed CMS_ContentInfo structure is returned or NULL if an
|
||
|
|
error occurred.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If B<*bcont> is not NULL then the message is clear text signed. B<*bcont> can
|
||
|
|
then be passed to CMS_verify() with the B<CMS_DETACHED> flag set.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Otherwise the type of the returned structure can be determined
|
||
|
|
using CMS_get0_type().
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To support future functionality if B<bcont> is not NULL B<*bcont> should be
|
||
|
|
initialized to NULL. For example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BIO *cont = NULL;
|
||
|
|
CMS_ContentInfo *cms;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cms = SMIME_read_CMS(in, &cont);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 BUGS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The MIME parser used by SMIME_read_CMS() is somewhat primitive. While it will
|
||
|
|
handle most S/MIME messages more complex compound formats may not work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The parser assumes that the CMS_ContentInfo structure is always base64 encoded
|
||
|
|
and will not handle the case where it is in binary format or uses quoted
|
||
|
|
printable format.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The use of a memory BIO to hold the signed content limits the size of message
|
||
|
|
which can be processed due to memory restraints: a streaming single pass option
|
||
|
|
should be available.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SMIME_read_CMS() returns a valid B<CMS_ContentInfo> structure or B<NULL>
|
||
|
|
if an error occurred. The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3).
