Verify and Unwrap S/MIME, and get Information about CMS Signature

See more MIME Examples

Demonstrates calling the Verify method to verify and unwrap S/MIME. The MIME is restored to the original structure that it would have originally had prior to signing. The Verify method works with both detached signatures, as well as opaque/attached signatures.

Calls LastJsonData to get information about the signature(s) that were verified.
