Thanks for the information. Does anybody know an open source tool that handles this type of encrypted data? I would like to use it for password protected data.

Hello everybody
The pkcs7 standard knows the The encrypted-data content type
It consists of encrypted content of any type. Unlike the enveloped-data content type, the encrypted-data content type has neither recipients nor
encrypted content-encryption keys. Keys are assumed to be managed by other means.
How can I decrypt a file that has this content?
The Example comes from the draft-ietf-smime-examples-12.txt and has the following structure:
I have tried openssl smime -decrypt
The OpenSSL S/MIME code doesn't actually handle encryptedData. What it refers to as "encrypt" is actually envelopedData which fits in with what most S/MIME clients call encrypted messages.
The low level PKCS#7 code doesn't totally handle this type either. It *is* used in the PKCS#12 code though but only in conjunction with various forms of password based encryption.
