Pascal (Lazarus/Delphi)

Encrypt a file to a PKCS7 encrypted message using multiple certificates from different users

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to encrypt a file to a PKCS7 encrypted message using multiple certificates from different users. Any one of the users can decrypt using his/her own certificate + private key.

Note: When doing public key encryption, it is the public key that is used to encrypt. The private key is required for decryption.
