.SH NAME

gnutls_aead_cipher_decrypt \- API function

.SH SYNOPSIS

.B #include <gnutls/crypto.h>

.sp

.BI "int gnutls_aead_cipher_decrypt(gnutls_aead_cipher_hd_t " 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 ");"

.SH ARGUMENTS

.IP "gnutls_aead_cipher_hd_t handle" 12

is a \fBgnutls_aead_cipher_hd_t\fP type.

.IP "const void * nonce" 12

the nonce to set

.IP "size_t nonce_len" 12

The length of the nonce

.IP "const void * auth" 12

additional data to be authenticated

.IP "size_t auth_len" 12

The length of the data

.IP "size_t tag_size" 12

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

.IP "const void * ctext" 12

the data to decrypt (including the authentication tag)

.IP "size_t ctext_len" 12

the length of data to decrypt (includes tag size)

.IP "void * ptext" 12

the decrypted data

.IP "size_t * ptext_len" 12

the length of decrypted data (initially must hold the maximum available size)

.SH "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.

.SH "RETURNS"

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

.SH "SINCE"

3.4.0

.SH "REPORTING BUGS"

Report bugs to <bugs@gnutls.org>.
