It took me a while to find out the correct way how to sign and encrypt data with these functions.
I needed that to communicate with German Health Insurance Providers as part of a DiGA. Maybe someone finds that useful.
<?php
function signAndEncrypt(string $rawData): string
{
$tempDir = __DIR__ . '/tmp';
$tempfileOriginal = tempnam($tempDir, 'original');
$tempfileSigned = tempnam($tempDir, 'signed');
$tempfileEncrypted = tempnam($tempDir, 'signedEncrypted');
file_put_contents($tempfileOriginal, $rawData);
// pick the correct certificate for the recipient
$recipientsCertificateFile = __DIR__ . '/recipientsCertificate.pem';
// -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ...-----END CERTIFICATE-----
$recipientsCertificate = file_get_contents($recipientsCertificateFile);
// Certificate:
// Data:
// Version: 3 (0x2)...
$myCertificate = file_get_contents(__DIR__ . '/my.crt');
$myPrivateKey = openssl_pkey_get_private(
// -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- ... -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
file_get_contents(__DIR__ . '/my.prv.key.pem')
);
openssl_cms_sign(
input_filename: $tempfileOriginal,
output_filename: $tempfileSigned,
certificate: $myCertificate,
private_key: $myPrivateKey,
headers: [],
encoding: OPENSSL_ENCODING_DER,
);
openssl_cms_encrypt(
input_filename: $tempfileSigned,
output_filename: $tempfileEncrypted,
certificate: $recipientsCertificate,
headers: [],
flags: OPENSSL_CMS_BINARY | OPENSSL_CMS_NOSIGS | OPENSSL_CMS_NOVERIFY,
encoding: OPENSSL_ENCODING_DER,
cipher_algo: OPENSSL_CIPHER_AES_256_CBC
);
return file_get_contents($tempfileEncrypted);
}openssl_cms_encrypt

$cipher_algo = OPENSSL_CIPHER_AES_128_CBC): bool
This function encrypts content to one or more recipients, based on the certificates that are passed to it.
Parameters
input_filename-
The file to be encrypted.
output_filename-
The output file.
certificate-
Recipients to encrypt to.
headers-
Headers to include when S/MIME is used.
flags-
Flags to be passed to CMS_sign.
encoding-
An encoding to output. One of
OPENSSL_ENCODING_SMIME,OPENSSL_ENCODING_DERorOPENSSL_ENCODING_PEM. cipher_algo-
A cipher to use.
Changelog
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 8.5.0 |
cipher_algo is now of type int or string.
Previously, it was of type int.
|
| 8.1.0 |
The default cipher algorithm (cipher_algo) is now
AES-128-CBC (OPENSSL_CIPHER_AES_128_CBC). Previously,
PKCS7/CMS was used (OPENSSL_CIPHER_RC2_40).
