(C#) Verify and Unwrap S/MIME, and get Information about CMS Signature

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.

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

Chilkat.Mime mime = new Chilkat.Mime();

// Load the signed MIME from a file...
bool success = mime.LoadMimeFile("qa_data/mime/detached_sig.eml");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(mime.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Verify the S/MIME and restore the MIME
// to the structure/content it had prior to signing.
bool verified = mime.Verify();
if (verified == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(mime.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Examine the details of what was verified.
Chilkat.JsonObject json = mime.LastJsonData();
json.EmitCompact = false;
