Decrypt S/MIME and Verify S/MIME Signatures

See more MIME Examples

_LANGUAGE_ example to decrypt S/MIME and verify S/MIME signatures. The S/MIME is unwrapped to get the original MIME prior to signing/encrypting. Java

    // are in a few moments...

    // To verify the signature, call UnwrapSecurity.  This will
    // verify the signature(s) and decrypt the S/MIME and restore
    // the MIME to the unsigned/unencrypted state.

    // properties, as well as extra header fields that are added
    // to the unwrapped MIME.

    // X-SignaturesValid: yes
    // X-NumPartsEncrypted: 1
    // X-Decrypted: no
    //

    // if the MIME was signed.  
    // 
    // The X-NumPartsEncrypted/X-Decrypted headers are added
    // if the MIME was encrypted.
    // 

    // If the MIME was signed, get the certificate used for signing.
