Chilkat2-Python

Send Encrypted Email using RSAES-OAEP with AES-128 CBC and SHA256

See more SMTP Examples

Demonstrates how to send encrypted email using RSAES-OAEP with SHA256 and AES-128 content encryption.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.67 or greater.

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

# Load an RSA-based certificate.
# (Encrypting an email only requires the public key.  Decrypting an email requires the private key.)

# Add a recipient.
# (The email is encrypted using the recipient's certificate.
# If sending to multiple recipients, then the AddEncryptCert method would
# need to be called once for each recipient's certificate.)
