bool decrypt(const SecureArray &in, SecureArray *out, EncryptionAlgorithm alg)
Decrypt the message.
static PrivateKey fromPEMFile(const QString &fileName, const SecureArray &passphrase=SecureArray(), ConvertResult *result=nullptr, const QString &provider=QString())
Import the key in Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) format from a file.
void setX509CertificateChain(const CertificateChain &c)
Set the public key part of this X.509 key.
bool success() const
Indicates whether or not the operation was successful or failed.
void setRecipient(const SecureMessageKey &key)
Set the recipient for an encrypted message.
bool waitForFinished(int msecs=30000)
Block until the operation (encryption, decryption, signing or verifying) completes.
void update(const QByteArray &in)
Process a message (or the next part of a message) in the current operation.
QString arrayToString(const MemoryRegion &a)
Process an array in the "forward" direction, returning a QString.
