Dear all, I have been digging a bit into the OpenSSL code to answer because I have a doubt.
Using keys on file and, also, using smart cards via the OpenSC engine, I am almost sure that by producing a PKCS7 the signature is of type "sha1WithRSAEncryption" (at least without any special options), that implies using specific kinds of padding for the digest before the RSA encryption, for instance.
The signature in the PKCS7, though, is marked as an object of type "rsaEncryption" (can tell with the asn1parse command).
Is it correct to say that they are are the same, or, better, that 1) "rsaEncryption" includes the "sha1WithRSAEncryption" type 2) "sha1WithRSAEncryption" is what the PKCS7 API does by default? Otherwise, which is the actual difference?
