Add a Decryption Certificate

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

AddDecryptCert adds a certificate (with private key access) to the collection Chilkat searches when decrypting. Call it once for each candidate certificate.

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 intended recipient is not known in advance, several candidate certificates can be added and Chilkat selects the one matching the encrypted message's recipient information.
