Decrypt S/MIME and Verify S/MIME Signatures

See more MIME Examples

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

    success := false

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    mime := chilkat.NewMime()

    // Load an S/MIME message from a file:
    success = mime.LoadMimeFile("signedMime.txt")
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(mime.LastErrorText())
        mime.DisposeMime()
        return
    }

    // The ContainsEncryptedParts/ContainsSignedParts methods
    // can be called to determine if the MIME is encrypted and/or signed:
    isEncrypted := mime.ContainsEncryptedParts()
    isSigned := mime.ContainsSignedParts()

    // We don't want the "unwrap extras".  You'll see what those
    // are in a few moments...
    mime.SetUnwrapExtras(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.
        fmt.Println(mime.LastErrorText())
        mime.DisposeMime()
        return
    }

    // 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 {
        signerCert := chilkat.NewCert()

        // 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 LastSignerCert with an index of 0:
        success = mime.LastSignerCert(0,signerCert)
        if success == true {
            fmt.Println("**** Signer Cert: ", signerCert.SubjectCN())
        }

    }

    // If the MIME was encrypted, get the certificate used for decryption
    if isEncrypted == true {
        // The NumDecryptCerts property indicates how many certificates
        // were used for decrypting.  This example will assume the value is 1.
        // To get the 1st decrypt cert, call LastDecryptCert with an index of 0:
        decryptCert := chilkat.NewCert()
        success = mime.LastDecryptCert(0,decryptCert)
        if success == true {
            fmt.Println("**** Decrypt Cert: ", decryptCert.SubjectCN())
        }

    }

    // Display the unwrapped MIME:
    fmt.Println(*mime.GetMime())

    // Save the unwrapped MIME to a file:
    success = mime.SaveMime("unwrappedMime.txt")

    mime.DisposeMime()
    signerCert.DisposeCert()
    decryptCert.DisposeCert()
