Duplicate openssl smime -decrypt -in some_file.dat.enc -binary -inform DER -inkey private.key -out some_file.dat

Demonstrates how to decrypt binary DER that was encrypted using the following openssl command:

openssl smime -encrypt -binary -aes-256-cbc -in some_file.dat -out some_file.dat.enc -outform DER cert.crt

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

' Duplicates the following openssl command:
' openssl smime -decrypt -in hello.txt.enc -binary -inform DER -inkey private.key -out hello.txt
