See more Apple Keychain Examples

Send encrypted (S/MIME) email using a certificate found in the Apple Keychain.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v10.1.2 or later.

Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    let email = CkoEmail()!
    email.subject = "This email is encrypted"
    email.body = "This is a S/MIME encrypted mail"
    email.from = "Joe <joe@example.com>"

    // Emails are encrypted using the recipient's certificate.
    var recipientEmailAddr: String? = "jane@example2.com"
    email.add(to: "", emailAddress: recipientEmailAddr)

    // Indicate that the email is to be sent encrypted.
    email.sendEncrypted = true

    let cert = CkoCert()!

    // The recipient's certificate is used to encrypt.
    // This will load the certificate from the Apple Keychain.
    success = cert.load(byEmailAddress: recipientEmailAddr)
