PKCS7 Encrypt MIME

See more MIME Examples

Encrypt MIME using a digital certificate to create PKCS7 encrypted S/MIME. C#

bool success = false;

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Chilkat.Mime mime = new Chilkat.Mime();

// Build a simple MIME message to be encrypted:
success = mime.AddHeaderField("Content-Type","text/plain");
success = mime.AddHeaderField("abc","123");
mime.SetBody("This is a test");

// A digital certificate is required to create PKCS7 encrypted MIME.
// It can come from a variety of sources: .cer file, .pfx file, PEM files,
// an in-memory representation, or directly from a Windows
// registry-based certificate store.

// This example will load a certificate object from a .cer file.
// Note: Only the public-key is required to encrypt.  (Decryption
// requires a private key.)

Chilkat.Cert cert = new Chilkat.Cert();
success = cert.LoadFromFile("myCert.cer");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(cert.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Encrypt the MIME:
success = mime.Encrypt(cert);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(mime.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Display the MIME:
Debug.WriteLine(mime.GetMime());

// The resulting S/MIME looks something like this:

// abc: 123
// Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="smime.p7m"
// Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
// Content-Type: application/x-pkcs7-mime;
//  name="smime.p7m"
