       Parameters:
           context A hx509 context.
           flags
           eContentType the type of the data.
           data data to sign
           length length of the data that data point to.
           digest_alg digest algorithm to use, use NULL to get the default or
           the peer determined algorithm.
           cert certificate to use for sign the data.
           peer info about the peer the message to send the message to, like
           what digest algorithm to use.
           anchors trust anchors that the client will use, used to polulate
           the certificates included in the message
           pool certificates to use in try to build the path to the trust

   int hx509_cms_envelope_1 (hx509_context context, int flags, hx509_cert
       cert, const void * data, size_t length, const heim_oid *
       encryption_type, const heim_oid * contentType, heim_octet_string *
       content)
       Encrypt end encode EnvelopedData.

       Encrypt and encode EnvelopedData. The data is encrypted with a random
       key and the the random key is encrypted with the certificates private
       key. This limits what private key type can be used to RSA.

           cert Certificate to encrypt the EnvelopedData encryption key with.
           data pointer the data to encrypt.
           length length of the data that data point to.
           encryption_type Encryption cipher to use for the bulk data, use
           NULL to get default.
           contentType type of the data that is encrypted
           content the output of the function, free with
           der_free_octet_string().

   int hx509_cms_unenvelope (hx509_context context, hx509_certs certs, int
       flags, const void * data, size_t length, const heim_octet_string *
       encryptedContent, time_t time_now, heim_oid * contentType,
       heim_octet_string * content)
       Decode and unencrypt EnvelopedData.

       Extract data and parameteres from from the EnvelopedData. Also supports
       using detached EnvelopedData.

       Parameters:
           context A hx509 context.
           certs Certificate that can decrypt the EnvelopedData encryption
           key.
           flags HX509_CMS_UE flags to control the behavior.
           data pointer the structure the contains the DER/BER encoded
           EnvelopedData stucture.
           length length of the data that data point to.
           encryptedContent in case of detached signature, this contains the
           actual encrypted data, othersize its should be NULL.
           time_now set the current time, if zero the library uses now as the
           date.
           contentType output type oid, should be freed with der_free_oid().
           content the data, free with der_free_octet_string().

   int hx509_cms_unwrap_ContentInfo (const heim_octet_string * in, heim_oid *
       oid, heim_octet_string * out, int * have_data)
       Decode an ContentInfo and unwrap data and oid it.

       Parameters:
           in the encoded buffer.
           oid type of the content.
           out data to be wrapped.
           have_data since the data is optional, this flags show dthe
           diffrence between no data and the zero length data.

       Returns:
           Returns an hx509 error code.

   int hx509_cms_verify_signed (hx509_context context, hx509_verify_ctx ctx,
       unsigned int flags, const void * data, size_t length, const
       heim_octet_string * signedContent, hx509_certs pool, heim_oid *
       contentType, heim_octet_string * content, hx509_certs * signer_certs)
       Decode SignedData and verify that the signature is correct.

       Parameters:
           context A hx509 context.
           ctx a hx509 verify context.
           flags to control the behaivor of the function.

           X509_CMS_VS_NO_KU_CHECK - Don't check KeyUsage

           X509_CMS_VS_ALLOW_DATA_OID_MISMATCH - allow oid mismatch

           X509_CMS_VS_ALLOW_ZERO_SIGNER - no signer, see below.

           data pointer to CMS SignedData encoded data.
           length length of the data that data point to.
           signedContent external data used for signature.
           pool certificate pool to build certificates paths.
           contentType free with der_free_oid().
           content the output of the function, free with
           der_free_octet_string().
           signer_certs list of the cerficates used to sign this request, free
           with hx509_certs_free().

       If HX509_CMS_VS_NO_KU_CHECK is set, allow more liberal search for
       matching certificates by not considering KeyUsage bits on the
       certificates.

       If HX509_CMS_VS_ALLOW_DATA_OID_MISMATCH, allow encapContentInfo
       mismatch with the oid in signedAttributes (or if no signedAttributes
       where use, pkcs7-data oid). This is only needed to work with broken CMS
       implementations that doesn't follow CMS signedAttributes rules.

       If HX509_CMS_VS_NO_VALIDATE flags is set, do not verify the signing
       certificates and leave that up to the caller.

       If HX509_CMS_VS_ALLOW_ZERO_SIGNER is set, allow empty SignerInfo (no
       signatures). If SignedData have no signatures, the function will return
       0 with signer_certs set to NULL. Zero signers is allowed by the
       standard, but since its only useful in corner cases, it make into a
       flag that the caller have to turn on.

   int hx509_cms_wrap_ContentInfo (const heim_oid * oid, const
       heim_octet_string * buf, heim_octet_string * res)
       Wrap data and oid in a ContentInfo and encode it.

       Parameters:
           oid type of the content.
           buf data to be wrapped. If a NULL pointer is passed in, the
           optional content field in the ContentInfo is not going be filled
           in.
           res the encoded buffer, the result should be freed with
           der_free_octet_string().

       Returns:
           Returns an hx509 error code.
