Encrypt File using X.509 Certificate using AES in CBC Mode

Demonstrates how to encrypt a file using an X.509 Certificate's public key, where the underlying bulk encryption algorithm is 128-bit AES in CBC mode. (The underlying bulk encryption algorithm can be specified to be other algorithms/strengths.)

' Get an X.509 certificate to use for encrypting.
' Note: Chilkat provides many different ways of loading a certificate, from many different formats,
' or if on Windows, from the installed certificates on the system.
' This example simply loads a certificate from a file.
' Also, for encryption, only the public key is needed.  Digital certificates embed the public key
' within the X.509 format itself.  Therefore, if you have a certificate, you also have the public key.

' There's one last option that could be set.  If is the RSA encryption encryption/padding scheme.
