PKCS7 Encrypt MIME

See more MIME Examples

Encrypt MIME using a digital certificate to create PKCS7 encrypted S/MIME. Objective-C

#import <CkoMime.h>
#import <CkoCert.h>

BOOL success = NO;

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

CkoMime *mime = [[CkoMime alloc] init];

// Build a simple MIME message to be encrypted:
success = [mime AddHeaderField: @"Content-Type" value: @"text/plain"];
success = [mime AddHeaderField: @"abc" value: @"123"];
[mime SetBody: @"This is a test"];

// A digital certificate is required to create PKCS7 encrypted MIME.
// It can come from a variety of sources: .cer file, .pfx file, PEM files,
// an in-memory representation, or directly from a Windows
// registry-based certificate store.

// This example will load a certificate object from a .cer file.
// Note: Only the public-key is required to encrypt.  (Decryption
// requires a private key.)

CkoCert *cert = [[CkoCert alloc] init];
success = [cert LoadFromFile: @"myCert.cer"];
if (success == NO) {
    NSLog(@"%@",cert.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Encrypt the MIME:
success = [mime Encrypt: cert];
if (success == NO) {
    NSLog(@"%@",mime.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Display the MIME:
NSLog(@"%@",[mime GetMime]);

// The resulting S/MIME looks something like this:

// abc: 123
// Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="smime.p7m"
// Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
// Content-Type: application/x-pkcs7-mime;
//  name="smime.p7m"
