Overview

You can use this Snap to decode and interpret S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) encrypted or signed messages. S/MIME is a widely used protocol for securing email communications by providing encryption and digital signature capabilities.

Snap Type

The SMIME Decoder Snap is a Transform-type Snap that transforms the S/MIME encrypted or signed messages.

Prerequisites

None.

Limitations and Known Issues

None.

Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter when running the pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab:

Stop pipeline Execution: Stops the current pipeline execution if the Snap encounters an error.
Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the remaining records.
Route Error Data to Error View: Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

Field Name	Field Type	Description

Field Name	Field Type	Description
Label* Default Value: SMIME Decoder Example: SMIME Decoder_docs	String	The name for the Snap. You can modify this to be more specific, especially if you have more than one of the same Snap in your pipeline.
Decrypt Default Value: deselected	Checkbox	Select this checkbox to enable the decryption of the data.
Verify Default Value: deselected	Checkbox	Select this checkbox to verify the digital signing of the data.
Certificate Default Value: N/A Example: $853764$Certificate of Insurance - 6.cert	String/Expression	Specify the relative path of the X.509 certificate in the SLDB. You can upload the certificate to the SLDB by clicking . An X.509 certificate is a standard format for public key certificates that securely associates cryptographic key pairs with identities such as websites, individuals, or organizations. The X.509 certificate should be in any one of the following formats: cert: The certificate file is a public-key certificate following the x. 509 standard. pem: pem file is a container format that may include the public certificate or the entire certificate chain (private key, public key, root certificates): crt: The certificates may be encoded as binary DER or ASCII PEM.
Content Transfer Encoding Default Value: base64 Example: AES_256	String/Expression/Suggestion	Please select Content Transfer Encoding from the suggestions list. Content Transfer Encoding is a mechanism used in email communication and other protocols to encode the content of a message for transmission.
Message/Payload* Default Value: N/A Example: <h1>Welcome to the channel</h1>	String/Expression	Specify the message or data, or Payload to decrypt and verify.
Snap Execution Default Value: Example: Validate & Execute	Dropdown	Select one of the following three modes in which the Snap executes: Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap and generates a data preview during pipeline validation. Subsequently, it performs complete execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during pipeline runtime. Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during pipeline execution without generating preview data. Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.
