Hi,

I'm trying to encrypt an email using the ECDH One-Pass algorithm. I've first 
created an X509 certificate with an EDSA key based on the curve prime256v1.

Then, I ran this command:

openssl cms -encrypt -in Unencrypted.eml -binary -recip ecc.cer -aes256 -keyopt 
ecdh_kdf_md:sha256 -keyopt ecdh_cofactor_mode:1

This does indeed create an encrypted eml:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="smime.p7m"
Content-Type: application/pkcs7-mime; smime-type=enveloped-data; 
name="smime.p7m"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

And it does have the expected KEK encryption algorithm set:
1.3.132.1.14.1 => dhSinglePass-cofactorDH-sha256kdf-scheme

However, the KDF method used is exactly the same as when I execute:
openssl cms -encrypt -in Unencrypted.eml -binary -recip ecc.cer -aes256 -keyopt 
ecdh_kdf_md:sha256 -keyopt ecdh_cofactor_mode:0

This call does produce a different KEK algorithm:
1.3.132.1.11.1 ecdhX963KDF-SHA256.

At least I can decrypt the content encryption key in both cases using the same 
algorithm ('Standard' ECDH).

I'm using OpenSSL 3.0.0-beta1-dev  (Library: OpenSSL 3.0.0-beta1-dev ).

Any ideas? Do I need any additional parameters to get this working?

Kind regards,
Henning
