Encrypt File using X.509 Certificate using AES in CBC Mode

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to encrypt a file using an X.509 Certificate's public key, where the underlying bulk encryption algorithm is 128-bit AES in CBC mode. (The underlying bulk encryption algorithm can be specified to be other algorithms/strengths.) DataFlex

Procedure Test
    Boolean iSuccess
    Handle hoCrypt

    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // Get an X.509 certificate to use for encrypting.
    // Note: Chilkat provides many different ways of loading a certificate, from many different formats,
    // or if on Windows, from the installed certificates on the system.
    // This example simply loads a certificate from a file.
    // Also, for encryption, only the public key is needed.  Digital certificates embed the public key
    // within the X.509 format itself.  Therefore, if you have a certificate, you also have the public key.
