Encrypt File to PKCS7 .p7m

See more Encryption Examples

_LANGUAGE_ example to public-key encrypt a file creating a PKCS#7 .p7m file as output. Also demonstrates how to decrypt the .p7m to recover the original file. PHP Extension

// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// Do this by setting the encryption algorithm equal 
// to "PKI" (an acroynm for public-key infrastructure).
