This module uses the functions of <ulink
url="&url.openssl;">OpenSSL</ulink> for generation and verification
of signatures and for sealing (encrypting) and opening (decrypting)
data. PHP-4.0.4pl1 requires OpenSSL &gt;= 0.9.6, but PHP-4.0.5 and greater
with also work with OpenSSL &gt;= 0.9.5.
</para>
<note>
<para>Please keep in mind that this extension is still considered

<para>
OpenSSL offers many features that this module currently doesn't support.
Some of these may be added in the future.

<title>Key/Certificate parameters</title>
<para>
Quite a few of the openssl functions require a key or a certificate
parameter. PHP 4.0.5 and earlier have to use a key or certificate resource
returned by one of the openssl_get_xxx functions. Later versions may use
one of the following methods:

<title>Certificate Verification</title>
<para>
When calling a function that will verify a signature/certificate, the
<emphasis>cainfo</emphasis> parameter is an array containing file and
directory names the specify the locations of trusted CA files. If a
directory is specified, then it must be a correctly formed hashed directory
as the <command>openssl</command> command would use.

<sect1 id="openssl.pkcs7.flags">
<title>PKCS7 Flags/Constants</title>
<para>
The S/MIME functions make use of flags which are specified using a
bitfield which can include one or more of the following values:
<table>
<title>PKCS7 CONSTANTS</title>
<tgroup cols="2">
<thead>
<row>
<entry>Constant</entry>
<entry>Description</entry>
</row>
</thead>
<tbody>
<row>
<entry>PKCS7_TEXT</entry>
<entry>adds text/plain content type headers to encrypted/signed
message. If decrypting or verifying, it strips those headers from
the output - if the decrypted or verified message is not of MIME type
text/plain then an error will occur.</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>PKCS7_BINARY</entry>
<entry>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 options is present, no
translation occurs. This is useful when handling binary data which
may not be in MIME format.</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>PKCS7_NOINTERN</entry>
<entry>when verifying a message, certificates (if
any) included in the message are normally searched for the
signing certificate. With this option only the
certificates specified in the <parameter>extracerts</parameter>
parameter of <function>openssl_pkcs7_verify</function> are
used. The supplied certificates can still be used as
untrusted CAs however.
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>PKCS7_NOVERIFY</entry>
<entry>do not verify the signers certificate of a signed
message.</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>PKCS7_NOCHAIN</entry>
<entry>do not chain verification of signers certificates: that is
don't use the certificates in the signed message as untrusted CAs.
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>PKCS7_NOCERTS</entry>
<entry>when signing a message the signer's certificate is normally
included - with this option it is excluded. This will reduce the
size of the signed message but the verifier must have a copy of the
signers certificate available locally (passed using the
<parameter>extracerts</parameter> to
<function>openssl_pkcs7_verify</function> for example.
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>PKCS7_NOATTR</entry>
<entry>normally when a message is signed, a set of attributes are
included which include the signing time and the supported symmetric
algorithms. With this option they are not included.
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>PKCS7_DETACHED</entry>
<entry>When signing a message, use cleartext signing with the MIME
type multipart/signed. This is the default if the
<parameter>flags</parameter> parameter to
<function>openssl_pkcs7_sign</function> if you do not specify any
flags. If you turn this option off, the message will be signed using
opaque signing, which is more resistant to translation by mail relays
but cannot be read by mail agents that do not support S/MIME.</entry>

<function>openssl_pkcs7_verify</function> reads the S/MIME message
contained in the filename specified by <parameter>filename</parameter> and
examines the digital signature. It returns &true; if the signature is
verified, &false; if it is not correct (the message has been tampered with,
or the signing certificate is invalid), or -1 on error.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>flags</parameter> can be used to affect how the signature is
verified - see <link linkend="openssl.pkcs7.flags">PKCS7 constants</link>
for more information.
</para>
<para>
If the <parameter>outfilename</parameter> is specified, it should be a
string holding the name of a file into which the certificates of the
persons that signed the messages will be stored in PEM format.
</para>
<para>
If the <parameter>cainfo</parameter> is specified, it should hold
information about the trusted CA certificates to use in the verification
process - see <link linkend="openssl.cert.verification">certificate
verification</link> for more information about this parameter.
</para>
<para>
If the <parameter>extracerts</parameter> is specified, it is the filename
of a file containing a bunch of certificates to use as untrusted CAs.
