# CMS\_verify\_receipt(3ssl)

verify a CMS signed receipt

## NAME

CMS\_verify\_receipt - verify a CMS signed receipt

## SYNOPSIS

```
 #include <openssl/cms.h>
 int CMS_verify_receipt(CMS_ContentInfo *rcms, CMS_ContentInfo *ocms,
                        STACK_OF(X509) *certs, X509_STORE *store,
                        unsigned int flags);
```

## DESCRIPTION

**CMS\_verify\_receipt()** verifies a CMS signed receipt. **rcms** is the signed receipt to verify. **ocms** is the original SignedData structure containing the receipt request. **certs** is a set of certificates in which to search for the signing certificate. **store** is a trusted certificate store (used for chain verification).

**flags** is an optional set of flags, which can be used to modify the verify operation.

## NOTES

This functions behaves in a similar way to **CMS\_verify()** except the flag values **CMS\_DETACHED**, **CMS\_BINARY**, **CMS\_TEXT** and **CMS\_STREAM** are not supported since they do not make sense in the context of signed receipts.

## RETURN VALUES

**CMS\_verify\_receipt()** returns 1 for a successful verification and zero if an error occurred.

The error can be obtained from **ERR\_get\_error**(3)

## SEE ALSO

**ERR\_get\_error**(3), **CMS\_sign\_receipt**(3), **CMS\_verify**(3),
