Hi

I have an web app in which I need to send some sensitive information,
provided by the user in form, to the client. The client has a digital Id
from Thwart. I have the .cer file from the certificate. What I need to know
is how to use .NET to encrypt the information, send to the client via email
using the .NET's SMPTMail class in such a way that the client can decrypt
it on his computer using his digital key.

I'm assuming that this is possible, as I've seen a couple of asp components
out there that do it (ex: .ASpEncrypt), but I'm pretty much clueless on how
to go about doing this the .NET way as I, simply, have never worked with
these classes before.

So I was hoping that someone out there could point me in the right direction
of some examples on the web or articles that explain how to do this.

TIA

Steve
