Specify a Certificate for Encrypted Email

See more Email Object Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email.AddEncryptCert method, which explicitly specifies a certificate to use when sending encrypted email. Call it once per recipient certificate; ClearEncryptCerts clears the list. This example loads a recipient certificate, registers it, and enables encrypted sending.

Background: When encrypting to multiple people, each recipient needs to be able to decrypt with their own private key. S/MIME handles this by encrypting the message's one-time content key separately under each recipient's public certificate and including all of those wrapped keys in the message. AddEncryptCert is how you build that recipient list — one call per certificate — giving explicit control over exactly whose certificates are used rather than relying on automatic lookup.
