Hi,

a question about pkcs7 decryption:


An encrypted pkcs7 message (enveloped) contains a list of 
recipient info objects (i.e. the subject name of the issuer and the
serial number of the certificates used for encryption).

When I pass a certificate and a private key to the library, 
the library uses that list to find the matching RSA encrypted session
key. But to do so I need to know which private key to use.

If I don't know yet which key is to be used for decryption, it would
be nice to extract this list from a pkcs7 message to check whether I
have any of these keys.

How would I get this list of recipient_info records from the openssl
API?

regards
Hadmut
