Decrypt Method

Attempts to decrypt an encrypted PKCS#7 message.

Syntax

messagedecryptor.decrypt([callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

Call this method to attempt to decrypt the PKCS#7 encrypted data. This call supports EnvelopedData and EncryptedData subtypes on input.

Use InputFile or InputStream property to provide the data, and either Certificates or Key to supply the decryption key material.

When processing enveloped data, the class may fire RecipientFound event to report recipient information.
