Decrypt S/MIME using a Certificate with Private Key Access

See more MIME Examples

Loads a CMS/PKCS #7 encrypted S/MIME message and decrypts it back to the original MIME content.

DecryptUsingCert takes a single certificate that already has access to its associated private key, for example a certificate loaded from a PFX.

The file paths are relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the paths appropriate to your own environment.
