Decrypt S/MIME and Verify S/MIME Signatures

See more MIME Examples

_LANGUAGE_ example to decrypt S/MIME and verify S/MIME signatures. The S/MIME is unwrapped to get the original MIME prior to signing/encrypting. Xojo Plugin

Dim success As Boolean
success = False

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

Dim mime As New Chilkat.Mime

// Load an S/MIME message from a file:
success = mime.LoadMimeFile("signedMime.txt")
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(mime.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// The ContainsEncryptedParts/ContainsSignedParts methods
// can be called to determine if the MIME is encrypted and/or signed:
Dim isEncrypted As Boolean
isEncrypted = mime.ContainsEncryptedParts()
Dim isSigned As Boolean
isSigned = mime.ContainsSignedParts()

// We don't want the "unwrap extras".  You'll see what those
// are in a few moments...
mime.UnwrapExtras = False

// To verify the signature, call UnwrapSecurity.  This will
// verify the signature(s) and decrypt the S/MIME and restore
// the MIME to the unsigned/unencrypted state.
// The results of what was found are present in the MIME object's
// properties, as well as extra header fields that are added
// to the unwrapped MIME.
success = mime.UnwrapSecurity()
If (success <> True) Then
    // UnwrapSecurity returns True if all signatures were
    // verified and all parts decrypted.
    System.DebugLog(mime.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// The mime.UnwrapExtras property controls whether or not
// these additional fields are added to the unwrapped MIME:
// 
// X-NumPartsSigned: 1
// X-SignaturesValid: yes
// X-NumPartsEncrypted: 1
// X-Decrypted: no
// 
// The X-NumPartsSigned/X-SignaturesValid headers are added
// if the MIME was signed.  
// 
// The X-NumPartsEncrypted/X-Decrypted headers are added
// if the MIME was encrypted.
// 

// If the MIME was signed, get the certificate used for signing.

    // were used for signing.  This example will assume the value is 1.
    // To get the 1st signer cert, call LastSignerCert with an index of 0:
    success = mime.LastSignerCert(0,signerCert)
    If (success = True) Then
        System.DebugLog("**** Signer Cert: " + signerCert.SubjectCN)

    // were used for decrypting.  This example will assume the value is 1.
    // To get the 1st decrypt cert, call LastDecryptCert with an index of 0:
    Dim decryptCert As New Chilkat.Cert

    If (success = True) Then
        System.DebugLog("**** Decrypt Cert: " + decryptCert.SubjectCN)

// Display the unwrapped MIME:

// Save the unwrapped MIME to a file:
