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.

.NET Core C#

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.)
Chilkat.Cert cert = new Chilkat.Cert();
success = cert.LoadFromFile("qa_data/rsaes-oaep/cert.pem");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(cert.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Chilkat.Email email = new Chilkat.Email();

// Create a simple email.
email.Subject = "Sample RSAES-OAEP Encrypted Email";
email.Body = "Sample RSAES-OAEP Encrypted Email";
email.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.Pkcs7CryptAlg = "aes";
// If AES-256 is desired, set the following property to 256.
email.Pkcs7KeyLength = 128;
email.OaepPadding = true;
// Other choices for the OAEP hash algorithm are "sha1", "sha384", and "sha512"
email.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.SendEncrypted = true;

// The mailman object will do the RSAES-OAEP encryption when sending.
Chilkat.MailMan mailman = new Chilkat.MailMan();

// Set the SMTP settings for your email account on your mail server.
mailman.SmtpUsername = "SMTP_LOGIN";
mailman.SmtpPassword = "SMTP_PASSWORD";
mailman.SmtpHost = "MY_SMTP_DOMAIN_OR_IP";
mailman.SmtpPort = 587;
mailman.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) {
    Debug.WriteLine(mailman.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

success = mailman.CloseSmtpConnection();
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine("Connection to SMTP server not closed cleanly.");
}

Debug.WriteLine("Mail Sent!");
