<p>This command handles data in CMS format such as S/MIME v3.1 email messages. It can encrypt, decrypt, sign, verify, compress, uncompress, and print messages.</p>

<h1 id="OPTIONS">OPTIONS</h1>

<p>There are a number of operation options that set the type of operation to be performed: encrypt, decrypt, sign, verify, resign, sign_receipt, verify_receipt, digest_create, digest_verify, compress, uncompress, EncryptedData_encrypt, EncryptedData_decrypt, data_create, data_out, or cmsout. The relevance of the other options depends on the operation type and their meaning may vary according to it.</p>

|
<p>The <b>-stream</b> and <b>-indef</b> options are equivalent and enable streaming I/O for encoding operations. This permits single pass processing of data without the need to hold the entire contents in memory, potentially supporting very large files. Streaming is automatically set for S/MIME signing with detached data if the output format is <b>SMIME</b> it is currently off by default for all other operations.</p>

<p>Disable streaming I/O where it would produce and indefinite length constructed encoding. This option currently has no effect. In future streaming will be enabled by default on all relevant operations and this option will disable it.</p>

|
<p>Normally the input message is converted to "canonical" format which is effectively using CR and LF as end of line: as required by the S/MIME specification. When this option is present no translation occurs. This is useful when handling binary data which may not be in MIME format.</p>

<dt id="crlfeol"><b>-crlfeol</b></dt>

<p>Normally the output file uses a single <b>LF</b> as end of line. When this option is present <b>CRLF</b> is used instead.</p>

|
<p>When signing use ASCII CRLF format canonicalisation. This strips trailing whitespace from all lines, deletes trailing blank lines at EOF and sets the encapsulated content type. This option is normally used with detached content and an output signature format of DER. This option is not normally needed when verifying as it is enabled automatically if the encapsulated content format is detected.</p>

<p>The MIME message must be sent without any blank lines between the headers and the output. Some mail programs will automatically add a blank line. Piping the mail directly to sendmail is one way to achieve the correct format.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The supplied message to be signed or encrypted must include the necessary MIME headers or many S/MIME clients won't display it properly (if at all). You can use the <b>-text</b> option to automatically add plain text headers.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A "signed and encrypted" message is one where a signed message is then encrypted. This can be produced by encrypting an already signed message: see the examples section.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This version of the program only allows one signer per message but it will verify multiple signers on received messages. Some S/MIME clients choke if a message contains multiple signers. It is possible to sign messages "in parallel" by signing an already signed message.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The options <b>-encrypt</b> and <b>-decrypt</b> reflect common usage in S/MIME clients. Strictly speaking these process CMS enveloped data: CMS encrypted data is used for other purposes.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The <b>-resign</b> option uses an existing message digest when adding a new signer. This means that attributes must be present in at least one existing signer using the same message digest or this operation will fail.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The <b>-stream</b> and <b>-indef</b> options enable streaming I/O support. As a result the encoding is BER using indefinite length constructed encoding and no longer DER. Streaming is supported for the <b>-encrypt</b> operation and the <b>-sign</b> operation if the content is not detached.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Streaming is always used for the <b>-sign</b> operation with detached data but since the content is no longer part of the CMS structure the encoding remains DER.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If the <b>-decrypt</b> option is used without a recipient certificate then an attempt is made to locate the recipient by trying each potential recipient in turn using the supplied private key. To thwart the MMA attack (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) all recipients are tried whether they succeed or not and if no recipients match the message is "decrypted" using a random key which will typically output garbage. The <b>-debug_decrypt</b> option can be used to disable the MMA attack protection and return an error if no recipient can be found: this option should be used with caution. For a fuller description see <a href="../man3/CMS_decrypt.html">CMS_decrypt(3)</a>).</p>

<li><p>An ESS signingCertificate or ESS signingCertificateV2 attribute, as defined in Enhanced Security Services (ESS), RFC 2634 and RFC 5035. An ESS signingCertificate attribute only allows for SHA-1 as digest algorithm. An ESS signingCertificateV2 attribute allows for any digest algorithm.</p>

<p>NOTE that the <b>-cades</b> option applies to the <b>-sign</b> or <b>-verify</b> operations.

<p>The MIME parser isn't very clever: it seems to handle most messages that I've thrown at it but it may choke on others.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The code currently will only write out the signer's certificate to a file: if the signer has a separate encryption certificate this must be manually extracted. There should be some heuristic that determines the correct encryption certificate.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Ideally a database should be maintained of a certificates for each email address.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The code doesn't currently take note of the permitted symmetric encryption algorithms as supplied in the SMIMECapabilities signed attribute. this means the user has to manually include the correct encryption algorithm. It should store the list of permitted ciphers in a database and only use those.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>No revocation checking is done on the signer's certificate.</p>
