(Xojo Plugin) Create PKCS7 (CMS) EnvelopedData

Encrypt some data to a recipient by creating a PKCS7 (CMS) EnvelopedData structure. The data will be encrypted using a symmetric content-encryption algorithm (e.g., AES), and the randomly generated symmetric key will be encrypted using the recipient’s RSA public key extracted from their X.509 certificate.
