(C++) Decrypt S/MIME and Verify S/MIME Signatures

C++ example to decrypt S/MIME and verify S/MIME signatures. The S/MIME is unwrapped to get the original MIME prior to signing/encrypting.

    // Load an S/MIME message from a file:
    bool success = mime.LoadMimeFile("signedMime.txt");

    // can be called to determine if the MIME is encrypted and/or signed:

    bool isSigned = mime.ContainsSignedParts();

    // We don't want the "unwrap extras".  You'll see what those
    // are in a few moments...
    mime.put_UnwrapExtras(false);

    // To verify the signature, call UnwrapSecurity.  This will
    // verify the signature(s) and decrypt the S/MIME and restore
    // the MIME to the unsigned/unencrypted state.
    // The results of what was found are present in the MIME object's
    // properties, as well as extra header fields that are added
    // to the unwrapped MIME.
    success = mime.UnwrapSecurity();
    if (success != true) {
        // UnwrapSecurity returns true if all signatures were
        // verified and all parts decrypted.

    // The mime.UnwrapExtras property controls whether or not
    // these additional fields are added to the unwrapped MIME:
    // 
    // X-NumPartsSigned: 1
    // X-SignaturesValid: yes
    // X-NumPartsEncrypted: 1
    // X-Decrypted: no
    // 
    // The X-NumPartsSigned/X-SignaturesValid headers are added
    // if the MIME was signed.  
    // 
    // The X-NumPartsEncrypted/X-Decrypted headers are added
    // if the MIME was encrypted.
    // 

    // If the MIME was signed, get the certificate used for signing.
    if (isSigned == true) {
        // The NumSignerCerts property indicates how many certificates
        // were used for signing.  This example will assume the value is 1.
        // To get the 1st signer cert, call GetSignerCert with an index of 0:
        CkCert *signerCert = mime.GetSignerCert(0);
        if (mime.get_LastMethodSuccess() == true) {
            std::cout << "**** Signer Cert: " << signerCert->subjectCN() << "\r\n";

    }

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

    // Save the unwrapped MIME to a file:
