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.

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

my $crypt = Chilkat2::Crypt2->new;

# Tell the crypt object to use 3 certificates.
# Do this by calling AddEncryptCert for each certificate.

# Load a digital certificate.
# We don't need the private key for encryption.
# Only the public key is needed (which is included in a certificate).
my $cert1 = Chilkat2::Cert->new;
my $success = $cert1->LoadFromFile('qa_data/user1/cert_user1.pem');
# Assume success for the example, but make sure your application checks for success/failure...
