NAME

6       PKCS7_sign_add_signer - add a signer PKCS7 signed data structure

SYNOPSIS

9        #include <openssl/pkcs7.h>
10
11        PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO *PKCS7_sign_add_signer(PKCS7 *p7, X509 *signcert,
12                                                 EVP_PKEY *pkey, const EVP_MD *md, int flags);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       PKCS7_sign_add_signer() adds a signer with certificate signcert and
16       private key pkey using message digest md to a PKCS7 signed data
17       structure p7.
18
19       The PKCS7 structure should be obtained from an initial call to
20       PKCS7_sign() with the flag PKCS7_PARTIAL set or in the case or re-
21       signing a valid PKCS7 signed data structure.
22
23       If the md parameter is NULL then the default digest for the public key
24       algorithm will be used.
25
26       Unless the PKCS7_REUSE_DIGEST flag is set the returned PKCS7 structure
27       is not complete and must be finalized either by streaming (if
28       applicable) or a call to PKCS7_final().

NOTES

31       The main purpose of this function is to provide finer control over a
32       PKCS#7 signed data structure where the simpler PKCS7_sign() function
33       defaults are not appropriate. For example if multiple signers or non
34       default digest algorithms are needed.
35
36       Any of the following flags (ored together) can be passed in the flags
37       parameter.
38
39       If PKCS7_REUSE_DIGEST is set then an attempt is made to copy the
40       content digest value from the PKCS7 structure: to add a signer to an
41       existing structure.  An error occurs if a matching digest value cannot
42       be found to copy. The returned PKCS7 structure will be valid and
43       finalized when this flag is set.
44
45       If PKCS7_PARTIAL is set in addition to PKCS7_REUSE_DIGEST then the
46       PKCS7_SIGNER_INO structure will not be finalized so additional
47       attributes can be added. In this case an explicit call to
48       PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO_sign() is needed to finalize it.
49
50       If PKCS7_NOCERTS is set the signer's certificate will not be included
51       in the PKCS7 structure, the signer's certificate must still be supplied
52       in the signcert parameter though. This can reduce the size of the
53       signature if the signers certificate can be obtained by other means:
54       for example a previously signed message.
55
56       The signedData structure includes several PKCS#7
57       authenticatedAttributes including the signing time, the PKCS#7 content
58       type and the supported list of ciphers in an SMIMECapabilities
59       attribute. If PKCS7_NOATTR is set then no authenticatedAttributes will
60       be used. If PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP is set then just the SMIMECapabilities are
61       omitted.
62
63       If present the SMIMECapabilities attribute indicates support for the
64       following algorithms: triple DES, 128 bit RC2, 64 bit RC2, DES and 40
65       bit RC2. If any of these algorithms is disabled then it will not be
66       included.
67
68       PKCS7_sign_add_signers() returns an internal pointer to the
69       PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO structure just added, this can be used to set
70       additional attributes before it is finalized.
71

RETURN VALUES

73       PKCS7_sign_add_signers() returns an internal pointer to the
74       PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO structure just added or NULL if an error occurs.
