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. VBScript

' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' 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.

' properties, as well as extra header fields that are added
' to the unwrapped MIME.

' X-SignaturesValid: yes
' X-NumPartsEncrypted: 1

' 
' 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.
