=head1 NAME
PKCS7_sign - create a PKCS#7 signedData structure
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/pkcs7.h>
PKCS7 *PKCS7_sign(X509 *signcert, EVP_PKEY *pkey, STACK_OF(X509) *certs, BIO *data, int flags);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
PKCS7_sign() creates and returns a PKCS#7 signedData structure. B<signcert> is
the certificate to sign with, B<pkey> is the corresponsding private key.
B<certs> is an optional additional set of certificates to include in the PKCS#7
structure (for example any intermediate CAs in the chain).
The data to be signed is read from BIO B<data>.
B<flags> is an optional set of flags.
=head1 NOTES
Any of the following flags (ored together) can be passed in the B<flags>
parameter.
Many S/MIME clients expect the signed content to include valid MIME headers. If
the B<PKCS7_TEXT> flag is set MIME headers for type B<text/plain> are prepended
to the data.
If B<PKCS7_NOCERTS> is set the signer's certificate will not be included in the
PKCS7 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 data being signed is included in the PKCS7 structure, unless
B<PKCS7_DETACHED> is set in which case it is omitted. This is used for PKCS7
detached signatures which are used in S/MIME plaintext signed messages for
example.
Normally the supplied content is translated into MIME canonical format (as
required by the S/MIME specifications) if B<PKCS7_BINARY> is set no translation
occurs. This option should be used if the supplied data is in binary format
otherwise the translation will corrupt it.
The signedData structure includes several PKCS#7 autenticatedAttributes
including the signing time, the PKCS#7 content type and the supported list of
ciphers in an SMIMECapabilities attribute. If B<PKCS7_NOATTR> is set then no
authenticatedAttributes will be used. If B<PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP> is set then just
the SMIMECapabilities are omitted.
If present the SMIMECapabilities attribute indicates support for the following
algorithms: triple DES, 128 bit RC2, 64 bit RC2, DES and 40 bit RC2. If any of
these algorithms is disabled then it will not be included.
If the flags B<PKCS7_STREAM> is set then the returned B<PKCS7> structure is
just initialized ready to perform the signing operation. The signing is however
B<not> performed and the data to be signed is not read from the B<data>
parameter. Signing is deferred until after the data has been written. In this
way data can be signed in a single pass.
If the B<PKCS7_PARTIAL> flag is set a partial B<PKCS7> structure is output to
which additional signers and capabilities can be added before finalization.
=head1 NOTES
If the flag B<PKCS7_STREAM> is set the returned B<PKCS7> structure is B<not>
complete and outputting its contents via a function that does not properly
finalize the B<PKCS7> structure will give unpredictable results.
Several functions including SMIME_write_PKCS7(), i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream(),
PEM_write_bio_PKCS7_stream() finalize the structure. Alternatively finalization
can be performed by obtaining the streaming ASN1 B<BIO> directly using
BIO_new_PKCS7().
If a signer is specified it will use the default digest for the signing
algorithm. This is B<SHA1> for both RSA and DSA keys.
In OpenSSL 1.0.0 the B<certs>, B<signcert> and B<pkey> parameters can all be
B<NULL> if the B<PKCS7_PARTIAL> flag is set. One or more signers can be added
using the function B<PKCS7_sign_add_signer()>. B<PKCS7_final()> must also be
called to finalize the structure if streaming is not enabled. Alternative
signing digests can also be specified using this method.
In OpenSSL 1.0.0 if B<signcert> and B<pkey> are NULL then a certificates only
PKCS#7 structure is output.
In versions of OpenSSL before 1.0.0 the B<signcert> and B<pkey> parameters must
B<NOT> be NULL.
=head1 BUGS
Some advanced attributes such as counter signatures are not supported.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
PKCS7_sign() returns either a valid PKCS7 structure or NULL if an error
occurred. The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3).
