GMime.MultipartEncrypted¶

ctx (GMime.CryptoContext) – a GMime.CryptoContext
entity (GMime.Object) – MIME part to encrypt
sign (bool) – True if the content should also be signed or False otherwise
userid (str or None) – user id to use for signing (only used if sign is True)
flags (GMime.EncryptFlags) – a GMime.EncryptFlags
recipients ([str]) – an array of recipients to encrypt to

Raises:

GLib.Error

Returns:

a new GMime.MultipartEncrypted object on success or None on fail. If encrypting fails, an exception will be set on err to provide information as to why the failure occurred.

Return type:

GMime.MultipartEncrypted or None

Attempts to encrypt (and conditionally sign) the entity MIME part to the public keys of recipients using the ctx encryption context. If successful, a new multipart/encrypted object is returned.

classmethod new()¶

Returns:: an empty MIME multipart/encrypted object.
Return type:: GMime.MultipartEncrypted

Creates a new MIME multipart/encrypted object.

decrypt(flags, session_key)¶

Parameters:

flags (GMime.DecryptFlags) – a GMime.DecryptFlags
session_key (str or None) – session key to use or None

Raises:

GLib.Error

Returns:

the decrypted MIME part on success or None on fail. If the decryption fails, an exception will be set on err to provide information as to why the failure occurred.

result:: a GMime.DecryptResult

Return type:

(GMime.Object or None, result: GMime.DecryptResult)

Attempts to decrypt the encrypted MIME part contained within the multipart/encrypted object self.

When non-None, session_key should be a None-terminated string, such as the one returned by GMime.DecryptResult.get_session_key() from a previous decryption. If the session_key is not valid, decryption will fail.

If result is non-None, then on a successful decrypt operation, it will be updated to point to a newly-allocated GMime.DecryptResult with signature status information as well as a list of recipients that the part was encrypted to.
