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. Tcl

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

set mime [new_CkMime]

set success [CkMime_LoadMimeFile $mime "signedMime.txt"]
if {$success == 0} then {
    puts [CkMime_lastErrorText $mime]

# can be called to determine if the MIME is encrypted and/or signed:

# We don't want the "unwrap extras".  You'll see what those
# are in a few moments...

# 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.

# these additional fields are added to the unwrapped MIME:
# 
# X-NumPartsSigned: 1
# X-SignaturesValid: yes

# 
# 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.
