CMS Flags/Constants

The CMS functions make use of flags which are specified using a bitfield which can include one or more of the following values:
CMS CONSTANTS
Constant Description
OPENSSL_CMS_TEXT (int) Adds text/plain content type headers to encrypted/signed message. If decrypting or verifying, it strips those headers from the output - if the decrypted or verified message is not of MIME type text/plain then an error will occur.
OPENSSL_CMS_BINARY (int) Normally the input message is converted to "canonical" format which is effectively using CR and LF as end of line: as required by the CMS specification. When this option is present, no translation occurs. This is useful when handling binary data which may not be in CMS format.
OPENSSL_CMS_NOINTERN (int) When verifying a message, certificates (if any) included in the message are normally searched for the signing certificate. With this option only the certificates specified in the untrusted_certificates_filename parameter of openssl_cms_verify() are used. The supplied certificates can still be used as untrusted CAs however.
OPENSSL_CMS_NOVERIFY (int) Do not verify the signers certificate of a signed message.
OPENSSL_CMS_NOCERTS (int) When signing a message the signer's certificate is normally included - with this option it is excluded. This will reduce the size of the signed message but the verifier must have a copy of the signers certificate available locally (passed using the untrusted_certificates_filename to openssl_cms_verify() for example).
OPENSSL_CMS_NOATTR (int) Normally when a message is signed, a set of attributes are included which include the signing time and the supported symmetric algorithms. With this option they are not included.
OPENSSL_CMS_DETACHED (int) When signing a message, use cleartext signing with the MIME type "multipart/signed". This is the default if you do not specify any flags to openssl_cms_sign(). If you turn this option off, the message will be signed using opaque signing, which is more resistant to translation by mail relays but cannot be read by mail agents that do not support S/MIME.
OPENSSL_CMS_NOSIGS (int) Don't try and verify the signatures on a message
OPENSSL_CMS_OLDMIMETYPE (int) Available as of PHP 8.3.0. Sets the content-type to application/x-pkcs7-mime instead of application/pkcs7-mime to encrypt a message.
