## Encrypting data with a session key.

### encrypt3.c

    /**
     * XML Security Library example: Encrypting XML file with a session key and dynamicaly created template.
     *
     * Encrypts XML file using a dynamicaly created template file and a session
     * DES key (encrypted with an RSA key).
     *
     * Usage:
     *      ./encrypt3 <xml-doc> <rsa-pem-key-file>
     *
     * Example (note: we are using the private key here instead of the public
     * key to make decrypt3 example work):
     *      ./encrypt3 encrypt3-doc.xml rsakey.pem > encrypt3-res.xml
     *
     * The result could be decrypted with decrypt3 example:
     *      ./decrypt3 encrypt3-res.xml
     *
     * This is free software; see the Copyright file in the source
     * distribution for precise wording.
