(VB.NET) Send Encrypted Email using RSAES-OAEP with AES-128 CBC and SHA256

Demonstrates how to send encrypted email using RSAES-OAEP with SHA256 and AES-128 content encryption.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.67 or greater.

Chilkat .NET Downloads Chilkat .NET Framework Chilkat for .NET Core

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

' Load an RSA-based certificate.
' (Encrypting an email only requires the public key.  Decrypting an email requires the private key.)
Dim cert As New Chilkat.Cert
Dim success As Boolean = cert.LoadFromFile("qa_data/rsaes-oaep/cert.pem")
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(cert.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Dim email As New Chilkat.Email

' Create a simple email.
email.Subject = "Sample RSAES-OAEP Encrypted Email"
email.Body = "Sample RSAES-OAEP Encrypted Email"
email.From = "support@chilkatsoft.com"

' Add a recipient.
' (The email is encrypted using the recipient's certificate.
' If sending to multiple recipients, then the AddEncryptCert method would
' need to be called once for each recipient's certificate.)
email.AddTo("Chilkat GMail","chilkat.support@gmail.com")

' Set the email object properties to indicate the desired encryption.
email.Pkcs7CryptAlg = "aes"
' If AES-256 is desired, set the following property to 256.
email.Pkcs7KeyLength = 128
email.OaepPadding = True
' Other choices for the OAEP hash algorithm are "sha1", "sha384", and "sha512"
email.OaepHash = "sha256"

' Provide the certificate to be used for encryption
email.AddEncryptCert(cert)

' Don't forget to indicate that the email should be encrypted when sent..
email.SendEncrypted = True

' The mailman object will do the RSAES-OAEP encryption when sending.
Dim mailman As New Chilkat.MailMan

' Set the SMTP settings for your email account on your mail server.
mailman.SmtpUsername = "SMTP_LOGIN"
mailman.SmtpPassword = "SMTP_PASSWORD"
mailman.SmtpHost = "MY_SMTP_DOMAIN_OR_IP"
mailman.SmtpPort = 587
mailman.StartTLS = True

' Send the email.  The mailman will encrypt the email as directed by the 
' property settings of the email object.
success = mailman.SendEmail(email)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(mailman.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If



success = mailman.CloseSmtpConnection()
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine("Connection to SMTP server not closed cleanly.")
End If


Debug.WriteLine("Mail Sent!")
