Decrypt S/MIME with an Explicit Certificate and Private Key

See more MIME Examples

Loads a CMS/PKCS #7 encrypted S/MIME message and decrypts it back to the original MIME content.

Decrypt2 accepts the certificate and its private key directly as arguments.

The file paths are relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the paths appropriate to your own environment.

Background. When the certificate and private key are already loaded as separate objects, Decrypt2 uses them directly rather than searching an internal collection of credential sources.
