[openssl-users] CMS: Encrypt with binary encoding
Hi! Is there a way to get binary (not base64) encoding out of CMS-encrypt?? openssl cms -encrypt -in plain.txt mycer.cer gives me a MIME-part with Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 But I'd like to have binary. Thanks for help! Chris -- openssl-users mailing list To unsubscribe: https://mta.openssl.org/mailman/listinfo/openssl-users

Yes, but then there is no MIME-Header. Can I have MIME with binary encoding?? -- openssl-users mailing list To unsubscribe: https://mta.openssl.org/mailman/listinfo/openssl-users

If you’re using raw binary output, the output wouldn’t be a MIME body (or body-part), so a MIME header would be inappropriate. MIME requires output to be 7-bit clean (i.e., the high bit of every byte is 0), with some special exceptions. Base64 is usually the preferred encoding, although many other encodings (e.g. uuencode) are allowed. Raw binary output would not be allowed (unless you could guarantee it meets the exceptional cases, which you can’t for something like this). You could always prepend a MIME header, but that wouldn’t make your output a MIME body.
