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.

C++

#include <CkCert.h>
#include <CkEmail.h>
#include <CkMailMan.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.

    //  Load an RSA-based certificate.
    //  (Encrypting an email only requires the public key.  Decrypting an email requires the private key.)
    CkCert cert;
    success = cert.LoadFromFile("qa_data/rsaes-oaep/cert.pem");
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << cert.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    CkEmail email;

    //  Create a simple email.
    email.put_Subject("Sample RSAES-OAEP Encrypted Email");
    email.put_Body("Sample RSAES-OAEP Encrypted Email");
    email.put_From("support@chilkatsoft.com");

    //  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.)
    email.AddTo("Chilkat GMail","chilkat.support@gmail.com");

    //  Set the email object properties to indicate the desired encryption.
    email.put_Pkcs7CryptAlg("aes");
    //  If AES-256 is desired, set the following property to 256.
    email.put_Pkcs7KeyLength(128);
    email.put_OaepPadding(true);
    //  Other choices for the OAEP hash algorithm are "sha1", "sha384", and "sha512"
    email.put_OaepHash("sha256");

    //  Provide the certificate to be used for encryption
    email.AddEncryptCert(cert);

    //  Don't forget to indicate that the email should be encrypted when sent..
    email.put_SendEncrypted(true);

    //  The mailman object will do the RSAES-OAEP encryption when sending.
    CkMailMan mailman;

    //  Set the SMTP settings for your email account on your mail server.
    mailman.put_SmtpUsername("SMTP_LOGIN");
    mailman.put_SmtpPassword("SMTP_PASSWORD");
    mailman.put_SmtpHost("MY_SMTP_DOMAIN_OR_IP");
    mailman.put_SmtpPort(587);
    mailman.put_StartTLS(true);

    //  Send the email.  The mailman will encrypt the email as directed by the 
    //  property settings of the email object.
    success = mailman.SendEmail(email);
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << mailman.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    success = mailman.CloseSmtpConnection();
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << "Connection to SMTP server not closed cleanly." << "\r\n";
    }

    std::cout << "Mail Sent!" << "\r\n";
