<p>PKCS7_sign_add_signer, PKCS7_add_certificate, PKCS7_add_crl - add information to PKCS7 structure</p>
<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>
<pre><code> #include <openssl/pkcs7.h>
PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO *PKCS7_sign_add_signer(PKCS7 *p7, X509 *signcert,
EVP_PKEY *pkey, const EVP_MD *md, int flags);

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>PKCS7_sign_add_signer() adds a signer with certificate <i>signcert</i> and private key <i>pkey</i> using message digest <i>md</i> to a PKCS7 signed data structure <i>p7</i>.</p>
<p>The <b>PKCS7</b> structure should be obtained from an initial call to PKCS7_sign() with the flag <b>PKCS7_PARTIAL</b> set or in the case or re-signing a valid PKCS#7 signed data structure.</p>
<p>If the <i>md</i> parameter is NULL then the default digest for the public key algorithm will be used.</p>
<p>Unless the <b>PKCS7_REUSE_DIGEST</b> flag is set the returned <b>PKCS7</b> structure is not complete and must be finalized either by streaming (if applicable) or a call to PKCS7_final().</p>
<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>
<p>The main purpose of this function is to provide finer control over a PKCS#7 signed data structure where the simpler PKCS7_sign() function defaults are not appropriate. For example if multiple signers or non default digest algorithms are needed.</p>
<p>Any of the following flags (ored together) can be passed in the <i>flags</i> parameter.</p>
<p>If <b>PKCS7_REUSE_DIGEST</b> is set then an attempt is made to copy the content digest value from the <b>PKCS7</b> structure: to add a signer to an existing structure. An error occurs if a matching digest value cannot be found to copy. The returned <b>PKCS7</b> structure will be valid and finalized when this flag is set.</p>
<p>If <b>PKCS7_PARTIAL</b> is set in addition to <b>PKCS7_REUSE_DIGEST</b> then the <b>PKCS7_SIGNER_INO</b> structure will not be finalized so additional attributes can be added. In this case an explicit call to PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO_sign() is needed to finalize it.</p>
<p>If <b>PKCS7_NOCERTS</b> is set the signer's certificate will not be included in the <b>PKCS7</b> structure, the signer's certificate must still be supplied in the <i>signcert</i> 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.</p>
<p>The signedData structure includes several PKCS#7 authenticatedAttributes including the signing time, the PKCS#7 content type and the supported list of ciphers in an SMIMECapabilities attribute. If <b>PKCS7_NOATTR</b> is set then no authenticatedAttributes will be used. If <b>PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP</b> is set then just the SMIMECapabilities are omitted.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>PKCS7_sign_add_signers() returns an internal pointer to the <b>PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO</b> structure just added, which can be used to set additional attributes before it is finalized.</p>
<p>PKCS7_add_certificate() adds to the <b>PKCS7</b> structure <i>p7</i> the certificate <i>cert</i>, which may be an end-entity (signer) certificate or a CA certificate useful for chain building. This is done internally by <a href="../man3/PKCS7_sign_ex.html">PKCS7_sign_ex(3)</a> and similar signing functions. It may have to be used before calling <a href="../man3/PKCS7_verify.html">PKCS7_verify(3)</a> in order to provide any missing certificate(s) needed for verification.</p>
<p>PKCS7_add_crl() adds the CRL <i>crl</i> to the <b>PKCS7</b> structure <i>p7</i>. This may be called to provide certificate status information to be included when signing or to use when verifying the <b>PKCS7</b> structure.</p>
<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
<p>PKCS7_sign_add_signers() returns an internal pointer to the <b>PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO</b> structure just added or NULL if an error occurs.</p>
<p>PKCS7_add_certificate() and PKCS7_add_crl() return 1 on success, 0 on error.</p>
