Decrypt Method

Decrypts the XML.

procedure Decrypt();

Remarks

This method decrypts the specified XML.

To begin first specify a XML document by setting InputFile, or InputXML.

The SymmetricKey property specifies the key used to decrypt the data. This may be set before calling Decrypt or inside the EncryptedDataInfo event. The EncryptedDataInfo event fires once for each encrypted element when Decrypt is called.

If the data was encrypted using an session key, set the Cert* properties to the certificate with private key before calling Decrypt. The certificate will be used to decrypt the encrypted session key. In this case the SymmetricKey property is ignored.

The following properties are applicable when calling this method:

• SymmetricKey
• Certificate

Input and Output Properties

The component will determine the source and destination of the input and output based on which properties are set.

The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:

• InputFile
• InputXML

When a valid source is found the search stops. The order in which the output properties are checked is as follows:

• OutputFile
• OutputXML: The output data is written to this property if no other destination is specified.
