Openssl encrypt / decrypt question

Hi all,

I'm attempting to encrypt and decrypt a string, and am having some
issues with the decrypt side. I'm using ruby 1.8.4 on gentoo.

My code looks something like this:

-----code starts-----
require 'openssl'

# Load up sender key pair
from_cert = X509::Certificate.new(File::read("send_cert.pem"))
from_key = PKey::RSA.new(File::read("send_key.pem"))
# Load up recipient key pair (
to_cert = X509::Certificate.new(File::read("rcpt_cert.pem"))
to_key = PKey::RSA.new(File::read("rcpt_key.pem"))

# Basic data
data = "test this out"

# Sign message
from_signed = PKCS7::sign(from_cert, from_key, data, [], PKCS7::BINARY)
# The next line emits the data correctly
print from_signed.data
# Encrypt signed message
from_encrypted = PKCS7::encrypt([to_cert], from_signed.to_der,
Cipher::Cipher::new("DES3"), PKCS7::BINARY)
# This is the data format I send to the recipient.
from_message = from_encrypted.to_pem

# Pretend that I'm receiving this on the 'to' side.
to_encrypted = PKCS7::PKCS7.new(from_message)
to_decrypted = PKCS7::PKCS7.new(to_encrypted.decrypt(to_key, to_cert,
PKCS7::BINARY))

# See who signed the message:
to_decrypted.signers.each { |signer|
  print "#{signer.name}\n"
}
# This *should* emit the data, but instead prints nothing.
print "#{to_decrypted.data}\n"
-----code ends-----

So... I know that the encryption works, because a third party can
decrypt messages I send them. However, in this testing setup, I can see
who the signer is, but there's no data (output is 'nil').

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Aynon
