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.) Delphi ActiveX

// 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.

// There's one last option that could be set.  If is the RSA encryption encryption/padding scheme. 
// By default, RSAES_PKCS1-V1_5 is used.  If desired, the OaepPadding property could be set to 1 to
// use RSAES_OAEP.  (We'll leave it set at the default value of 0)
