CkPython Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

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. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

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

mime = chilkat.CkMime()

#  Load an S/MIME message from a file:
success = mime.LoadMimeFile("signedMime.txt")
if (success == False):
    print(mime.lastErrorText())
    sys.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.put_UnwrapExtras(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.
    print(mime.lastErrorText())
    sys.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 == True):
    signerCert = chilkat.CkCert()

    #  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):
        print("**** 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.CkCert()
    success = mime.LastDecryptCert(0,decryptCert)
    if (success == True):
        print("**** Decrypt Cert: " + decryptCert.subjectCN())

#  Display the unwrapped MIME:
print(mime.getMime())

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