Note: This example requires Chilkat v10.0.0 or later

Demonstrates how to send encrypted email using 128-bit AES in GCM mode.

"AES-GCM" (Advanced Encryption Standard - Galois/Counter Mode) is a cryptographic algorithm that provides both encryption and integrity protection (authentication). When used in the context of email security with "authEnvelopedData", it often refers to a method of securely sending encrypted and authenticated email content.

Here’s a brief breakdown:

• AES-GCM: Combines symmetric encryption (AES) with authentication, ensuring both the confidentiality and integrity of the message. It generates an authentication tag to detect any unauthorized changes.
• authEnvelopedData: Refers to a type of structure used in secure email protocols (like S/MIME) to package encrypted content. It contains the encrypted data and associated encrypted session keys.
• Email Security: When applied to emails, AES-GCM ensures the email content is encrypted (confidential) and also tamper-resistant (authenticated), with the encryption keys typically shared securely using asymmetric encryption (e.g., public key infrastructure, or PKI).

In short, AES-GCM with "authEnvelopedData" provides a way to encrypt and authenticate emails, making them confidential and resistant to tampering.
