Hello,

I have later found that the fail behavior may be due to the insufficient
memory available for the target device .


I have seen that "-stream" option is added in smime application  in
openssl version 1.0.0 .


1.) Can i have the access to the change set for this particular
functionality only ( "-stream" functionality ) ? I saw their are other
bugs/issue change set  also in openssl 1.0.0 Vs openssl 0.9.8n ?
I need only this particular change set because i am running on 0.9.8a
version.

2.) Can i know what is the fixed stream size now , if any?

Do you mean the output size? If yes, for bigger mails the size increase should come mainly from base64 encoding, that means size increasing by a factor of 4/3.

3.) Is it true that before "-stream" option entire in data and out  data
is loaded in memory itself ?

Yes.

PK

    Hello Guys,

    I am a newbie to this forum though I worked with the openssl code
    little while.

    I have faced an issue while performing encryption on a HPUX target
    machine to get a pkcs7 format output.
    I was trying the following command to perform the encryption using
    s/mime utility :
    openssl > smime -encrypt -binary -in "XYZ.eml" -out "XYZ-Enc.eml"
    -aes256 "Encrypt.cer"
    where
    Encrypt.cer is in PEM format

    This utility works will if we have the input file data less than and
    around 1.5 MB . But fails if it exceed with 1.5 MB.

    In Fail Scenario, I have noticed that out file is encrypted and i
    can also decrypt it but the decrypt data is not matched with the in
    file data.
    Also i have noticed that in failure case out file size is always
    less than input file size.
    On the other hand, same utility works on windows target with large
    file also.

    I have few questions as following :
    1.) Do smime utility have any such limitation  of size on HPUX target ?
    2.) How can i find out that how much size of data is actually get
    encrypted ?

    Regards
    -PK
