NAME

       gnutls_aead_cipher_decrypt - API function


SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/crypto.h>

       gnutls_aead_cipher_decrypt(3)  handle,  const
       void * nonce, size_t nonce_len, const void  *  auth,  size_t  auth_len,
       size_t  tag_size,  const  void * ctext, size_t ctext_len, void * ptext,
       size_t * ptext_len);


ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_aead_cipher_hd_t handle
                   is a gnutls_aead_cipher_hd_t type.

       const void * nonce
                   the nonce to set

       size_t nonce_len
                   The length of the nonce

       const void * auth
                   additional data to be authenticated

       size_t auth_len
                   The length of the data

       size_t tag_size
                   The size of the tag to use (use zero for the default)

       const void * ctext
                   the data to decrypt (including the authentication tag)

       size_t ctext_len
                   the length of data to decrypt (includes tag size)

       void * ptext
                   the decrypted data

       size_t * ptext_len
                   the length of decrypted data (initially must hold the maxi-
                   mum available size)


DESCRIPTION

       This function will decrypt the given data using the algorithm specified
       by the context. This function must be provided the complete data to  be
       decrypted,  including  the authentication tag. On several AEAD ciphers,
       the authentication tag is appended to the ciphertext,  though  this  is
       not  a  general  rule.  This function will fail if the tag verification
       fails.


RETURNS

       Zero or a negative error code on verification failure or other error.


SINCE

       3.4.0
