Duplicate OpensSSL Command that Decrypts Binary DER

See more OpenSSL Examples

This example duplicates the following:
openssl smime -decrypt -in INPUT_FILE -inform der -binary -out OUTPUT_FILE -recip PEM_CERT_AND_KEY -passin pass:PRIVKEY_PASSWORD

Note: Although "smime" is the OpenSSL command, we're not really dealing with S/MIME. The arguments "-inform der -binary" indicate that the input is simply the binary DER (i.e. the PKCS7 binary encrypted object). The output can be any type of file (whatever was encrypted).
