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. PHP ActiveX

<?php

$success = 0;

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

$mime = new COM("Chilkat.Mime");

//  Load an S/MIME message from a file:
$success = $mime->LoadMimeFile('signedMime.txt');
if ($success == 0) {
    print $mime->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

//  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->UnwrapExtras = 0;

//  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 != 1) {
    //  UnwrapSecurity returns 1 if all signatures were
    //  verified and all parts decrypted.
    print $mime->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

//  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 == 1) {
    $signerCert = new COM("Chilkat.Cert");

    //  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 == 1) {
        print '**** Signer Cert: ' . $signerCert->SubjectCN . "\n";
    }

if ($isEncrypted == 1) {
    //  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 = new COM("Chilkat.Cert");
    $success = $mime->LastDecryptCert(0,$decryptCert);
    if ($success == 1) {
        print '**** Decrypt Cert: ' . $decryptCert->SubjectCN . "\n";

//  Save the unwrapped MIME to a file:
