NAME
gnutls_aead_cipher_decrypt - API function

SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/crypto.h>

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);

ARGUMENTS

    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
    the data to be authenticated

size_t auth_len

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

const void * ctext
    the data to decrypt

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 maximum available size)

DESCRIPTION
This function will decrypt the given data using the algorithm specified by the context. This function must be provided the whole data to be decrypted, including the tag, and will fail if the tag verification fails.
