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 MIIBuQYJKoZIhvcNAQcDoIIBqjCCAaYCAQIxggEQoYIBDAIBA6BRoU8wCQYHKoZI zj0CAQNCAAQYMD63JbNHczeD0BVjdlzuZAdTyFchu/KsXAZA6/OmbJ37xEoga1GG ItMUW5qnzzNL9L25wi1GVZrMxH5bksxEMBUGBiuBBAEOATALBglghkgBZQMEAS0w gZwwgZkwbTBnMQswCQYDVQQGEwJERTEMMAoGA1UECAwDTlJXMRIwEAYDVQQHDAlQ YWRlcmJvcm4xGTAXBgNVBAoMEE5ldCBhdCBXb3JrIEdtYkgxGzAZBgNVBAMMEk5v U3BhbVByb3h5IERldiBDQQICEBwEKB6t+YrcLQLXlVc8oC47Ija4mgzJ0uv7DvFl JQXtUGZpf4pYQ9fvEO0wgYwGCSqGSIb3DQEHATAdBglghkgBZQMEASoEENsnhiim ZK1xDpAN3tpDiwmAYLp71os2uX6TIEJeDbtAuEf570gNii9AdHgdbS3+4hpFUyKI fifnofwQRq5+vsIc8DllYGMdMoWknO0vzNSNaLFpWMJ2Xe0SFyU0dO30wHlHXvz3 a3CzwXa5yoQ1qHfo3Q== 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
