+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+\&\fBPKCS7_sign()\fR creates and returns a PKCS#7 signedData structure. \fBsigncert\fR is
+the certificate to sign with, \fBpkey\fR is the corresponding private key.
+\&\fBcerts\fR is an optional additional set of certificates to include in the PKCS#7
+structure (for example any intermediate CAs in the chain).
+.PP
+The data to be signed is read from \s-1BIO\s0 \fBdata\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBflags\fR is an optional set of flags.
+.SH "NOTES"
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+Any of the following flags (ored together) can be passed in the \fBflags\fR
+parameter.
+.PP
+Many S/MIME clients expect the signed content to include valid \s-1MIME\s0 headers. If
+the \fB\s-1PKCS7_TEXT\s0\fR flag is set \s-1MIME\s0 headers for type \fBtext/plain\fR are prepended
+to the data.
+.PP
+If \fB\s-1PKCS7_NOCERTS\s0\fR is set the signer's certificate will not be included in the
+\&\s-1PKCS7\s0 structure, the signer's certificate must still be supplied in the
+\&\fBsigncert\fR 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.
+.PP
+The data being signed is included in the \s-1PKCS7\s0 structure, unless
+\&\fB\s-1PKCS7_DETACHED\s0\fR is set in which case it is omitted. This is used for \s-1PKCS7\s0
+detached signatures which are used in S/MIME plaintext signed messages for
+example.
+.PP
+Normally the supplied content is translated into \s-1MIME\s0 canonical format (as
+required by the S/MIME specifications) if \fB\s-1PKCS7_BINARY\s0\fR is set no translation
+occurs. This option should be used if the supplied data is in binary format
+otherwise the translation will corrupt it.
+.PP
+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 \fB\s-1PKCS7_NOATTR\s0\fR is set then no
+authenticatedAttributes will be used. If \fB\s-1PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP\s0\fR is set then just
+the SMIMECapabilities are omitted.
+.PP
+If present the SMIMECapabilities attribute indicates support for the following
+algorithms: triple \s-1DES, 128\s0 bit \s-1RC2, 64\s0 bit \s-1RC2, DES\s0 and 40 bit \s-1RC2.\s0 If any of
+these algorithms is disabled then it will not be included.
+.PP
+If the flags \fB\s-1PKCS7_STREAM\s0\fR is set then the returned \fB\s-1PKCS7\s0\fR structure is
+just initialized ready to perform the signing operation. The signing is however
+\&\fBnot\fR performed and the data to be signed is not read from the \fBdata\fR
+parameter. Signing is deferred until after the data has been written. In this
+way data can be signed in a single pass.
+.PP
+If the \fB\s-1PKCS7_PARTIAL\s0\fR flag is set a partial \fB\s-1PKCS7\s0\fR structure is output to
+which additional signers and capabilities can be added before finalization.
+.SH "NOTES"
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+If the flag \fB\s-1PKCS7_STREAM\s0\fR is set the returned \fB\s-1PKCS7\s0\fR structure is \fBnot\fR
+complete and outputting its contents via a function that does not properly
+finalize the \fB\s-1PKCS7\s0\fR structure will give unpredictable results.
+.PP
+Several functions including \fBSMIME_write_PKCS7()\fR, \fBi2d_PKCS7_bio_stream()\fR,
+\&\fBPEM_write_bio_PKCS7_stream()\fR finalize the structure. Alternatively finalization
+can be performed by obtaining the streaming \s-1ASN1\s0 \fB\s-1BIO\s0\fR directly using
+\&\fBBIO_new_PKCS7()\fR.
+.PP
+If a signer is specified it will use the default digest for the signing
+algorithm. This is \fB\s-1SHA1\s0\fR for both \s-1RSA\s0 and \s-1DSA\s0 keys.
+.PP
+The \fBcerts\fR, \fBsigncert\fR and \fBpkey\fR parameters can all be
+\&\fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if the \fB\s-1PKCS7_PARTIAL\s0\fR flag is set. One or more signers can be added
+using the function \fBPKCS7_sign_add_signer()\fR. \fBPKCS7_final()\fR must also be
+called to finalize the structure if streaming is not enabled. Alternative
+signing digests can also be specified using this method.
+.PP
+If \fBsigncert\fR and \fBpkey\fR are \s-1NULL\s0 then a certificates only
+PKCS#7 structure is output.
+.PP
+In versions of OpenSSL before 1.0.0 the \fBsigncert\fR and \fBpkey\fR parameters must
+\&\fB\s-1NOT\s0\fR be \s-1NULL.\s0
+.SH "BUGS"

+\&\fBPKCS7_sign()\fR returns either a valid \s-1PKCS7\s0 structure or \s-1NULL\s0 if an error
+occurred. The error can be obtained from \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
