DESCRIPTION

21       The function CMS_get0_SignerInfos() returns all the CMS_SignerInfo
22       structures associated with a CMS signedData structure.
23
24       CMS_SignerInfo_get0_signer_id() retrieves the certificate signer
25       identifier associated with a specific CMS_SignerInfo structure si.
26       Either the keyidentifier will be set in keyid or both issuer name and
27       serial number in issuer and sno.
28
29       CMS_SignerInfo_get0_signature() retrieves the signature associated with
30       si in a pointer to an ASN1_OCTET_STRING structure. This pointer
31       returned corresponds to the internal signature value if si so it may be
32       read or modified.
33
34       CMS_SignerInfo_cert_cmp() compares the certificate cert against the
35       signer identifier si. It returns zero if the comparison is successful
36       and non zero if not.
37
38       CMS_SignerInfo_set1_signer_cert() sets the signers certificate of si to
39       signer.

NOTES

42       The main purpose of these functions is to enable an application to
43       lookup signers certificates using any appropriate technique when the
44       simpler method of CMS_verify() is not appropriate.
45
46       In typical usage and application will retrieve all CMS_SignerInfo
47       structures using CMS_get0_SignerInfo() and retrieve the identifier
48       information using CMS. It will then obtain the signer certificate by
49       some unspecified means (or return and error if it cannot be found) and
50       set it using CMS_SignerInfo_set1_signer_cert().
51
52       Once all signer certificates have been set CMS_verify() can be used.
53
54       Although CMS_get0_SignerInfos() can return NULL is an error occur or if
55       there are no signers this is not a problem in practice because the only
56       error which can occur is if the cms structure is not of type signedData
57       due to application error.

RETURN VALUES

60       CMS_get0_SignerInfos() returns all CMS_SignerInfo structures, or NULL
61       there are no signers or an error occurs.
62
63       CMS_SignerInfo_get0_signer_id() returns 1 for success and 0 for
64       failure.
65
66       CMS_SignerInfo_cert_cmp() returns 0 for a successful comparison and non
67       zero otherwise.
68
69       CMS_SignerInfo_set1_signer_cert() does not return a value.
70
71       Any error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3)
