Sign the specified entity.

Definition

Namespace: MimeKit.Cryptography
Assembly: MimeKit.Cryptography (in MimeKit.Cryptography.dll) Version: 5.0.0
C#
public static ApplicationPkcs7Mime Sign(
	SecureMimeContext ctx,
	MailboxAddress signer,
	DigestAlgorithm digestAlgo,
	MimeEntity entity,
	CancellationToken cancellationToken = default
)

Parameters

ctx  SecureMimeContext
The S/MIME context to use for signing.
signer  MailboxAddress
The signer.
digestAlgo  DigestAlgorithm
The digest algorithm to use for signing.
entity  MimeEntity
The entity.
cancellationToken  CancellationToken  (Optional)
The cancellation token.

Return Value

ApplicationPkcs7Mime
The signed entity.

Remarks

Signs the entity using the supplied signer, digest algorithm and SecureMimeContext.

For better interoperability with other mail clients, you should use Create(SecureMimeContext, CmsSigner, MimeEntity, CancellationToken) instead as the multipart/signed format is supported among a much larger subset of mail client software.
