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

*  The GovTalkMessage response looks something like this:

*  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
*  <GovTalkMessage xmlns="http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CM/envelope">
*    <EnvelopeVersion>3.1</EnvelopeVersion>
*    <Header>
*      <MessageDetails>
*        <Class>CSSZ_DZDPN</Class>
*        <Qualifier>request</Qualifier>
*        <Function>submit</Function>
*        <TransactionID />
*        <AuditID />
*        <CorrelationID>aaaaa</CorrelationID>
*        <ResponseEndPoint PollInterval="0" />
*        <Transformation>XML</Transformation>
*        <GatewayTest />
*        <GatewayTimestamp />
*      </MessageDetails>

*      </GatewayAdditions>
*    </GovTalkDetails>
*    <Body>
*      <Message xmlns="http://www.cssz.cz/XMLSchema/envelope" version="1.2" eType="DZDPN20">
*        <Header>
*          <Signature xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes" dt:dt="bin.base64">MIIJ0A ... UMw=

*      </Message>
*    </Body>
*  </GovTalkMessage>

*  We want to get the content of the Body and decrypt it.

*  First, let's get the content of the Body XML element, which is a base64 string starting with MIIF2w...

loXml = CreateObject('Chilkat.Xml')
lnSuccess = loXml.LoadXmlFile("qa_data/xml/govTalkMessageResponse.xml")
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loXml.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loXml
    CANCEL
ENDIF

lcBody = loXml.GetChildContent("Body|Message|Body")
? lcBody

loCert = CreateObject('Chilkat.Cert')
lnSuccess = loCert.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/pfx/govTalkMessage_aaa.pfx","aaa")
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loCert.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loXml
    RELEASE loCert
    CANCEL
ENDIF

loCrypt = CreateObject('Chilkat.Crypt2')
loCrypt.CryptAlgorithm = "pki"
lnSuccess = loCrypt.SetDecryptCert(loCert)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loCrypt.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loXml
    RELEASE loCert
    RELEASE loCrypt
    CANCEL
ENDIF

loBd = CreateObject('Chilkat.BinData')
*  Append the bytes to bd.
lnSuccess = loBd.AppendEncoded(lcBody,"base64")

*  Decrypt in-place.
lnSuccess = loCrypt.DecryptBd(loBd)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loCrypt.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loXml
    RELEASE loCert
    RELEASE loCrypt
    RELEASE loBd
    CANCEL
ENDIF

*  Save the decrypted data to a file.
lnSuccess = loBd.WriteFile("qa_output/out.dat")

*  If the decrypted data is non-text (binary) then we can examine it in an encoding, such as hex:
? "Decrypted bytes as hex: " + loBd.GetEncoded("hex")
