Hi, What's the reason for having in openssl both a PKCS7_* and a CMS_* API that are this similar ?
Obviously the CMS_* API can handle some CMS mechanims the PKCS7 one can't, but is there anything the PKCS7 API can handle that the CMS API doesn't ? In a program that currently uses calls the PKCS7_* functions, can they be replaced by CMS_* with no loss of functionality, still handling 100% of old PKCS#7 messages, only gaining support for the new CMS options ? If no special option is selected (no CMS_USE_KEYID for example), will CMS_sign generate the same format as PKCS7_sign ? Thanks in advance for the precision you can give me.
