PKCS7 Encrypt MIME

See more MIME Examples

Encrypt MIME using a digital certificate to create PKCS7 encrypted S/MIME. C++

#include <CkMime.h>
#include <CkCert.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

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

    CkMime mime;

    // Build a simple MIME message to be encrypted:
    success = mime.AddHeaderField("Content-Type","text/plain");
    success = mime.AddHeaderField("abc","123");
    mime.SetBody("This is a test");

    // A digital certificate is required to create PKCS7 encrypted MIME.
    // It can come from a variety of sources: .cer file, .pfx file, PEM files,
    // an in-memory representation, or directly from a Windows
    // registry-based certificate store.

    // This example will load a certificate object from a .cer file.
    // Note: Only the public-key is required to encrypt.  (Decryption
    // requires a private key.)

    CkCert cert;
    success = cert.LoadFromFile("myCert.cer");
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << cert.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // Encrypt the MIME:
    success = mime.Encrypt(cert);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << mime.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // Display the MIME:
    std::cout << mime.getMime() << "\r\n";

    // The resulting S/MIME looks something like this:

    // abc: 123
    // Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="smime.p7m"
    // Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
    // Content-Type: application/x-pkcs7-mime;
    //  name="smime.p7m"
