    Can someone point me to the correct API calls for this scenario?:

    I have a client certificate in my (local machine) Personal certificate store. I want to encrypt a file for the certificate's owner, using the 3DES algorithm, and encrypt the session key with the public key from the certificate.

    What API's do I need to call to get the public key from the certificate, and use it to encrypt the session key?

    Thanks. I am just learning this stuff, and it's a little overwhelming at first... :)
