Decrypt2

See more MIME Examples

Demonstrates how to decrypt MIME using a certificate and private key where the certificate and its corresponding private key are stored in separate files -- a .cer for the certificate, and a .pem for the private key. VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

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

Dim mime As New Chilkat.Mime

' Load the certificate from a .cer file.
Dim cert As New Chilkat.Cert
success = cert.LoadFromFile("aaworkarea/myCert.cer")
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(cert.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Load the private key from an encrypted PEM file.
' (A private key can be loaded from other file formats also..)
Dim privKey As New Chilkat.PrivateKey
success = privKey.LoadEncryptedPemFile("aaworkarea/myPrivateKey.pem","myPassword")
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(privKey.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If

success = mime.LoadMimeFile("aaworkarea/encryptedMime.txt")
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(mime.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Decrypt using the cert and associated private key
success = mime.Decrypt2(cert,privKey)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(mime.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Save the S/MIME to a file.
success = mime.SaveMime("aaworkarea/decryptedMime.txt")
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(mime.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Debug.WriteLine("success!")
