no problem: asn1parse tells me 0:d=0 hl=2 l=inf cons: SEQUENCE 2:d=1 hl=2 l= 9 prim: OBJECT :pkcs7-envelopedData ... But I'm realy confused because exactly the same message sometimes might/mightnot decrypt. Could it have something todo with openssl initialisation? Therefor I'm interested to know the possible reasons of openssl-0.9.6: error:0D06B078:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_get_object:header too long:asn1_lib.c:139: openssl-0.9.7: error:0D06B08E:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_d2i_bio:not enough data:a_d2i_fp.c:240: Thanks -- Beat > I have an intermediate SMIME decrypting problem.
