int mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt	(	mbedtls_cipher_context_t *	ctx,
		const unsigned char *	iv,
		size_t	iv_len,
		const unsigned char *	ad,
		size_t	ad_len,
		const unsigned char *	input,
		size_t	ilen,
		unsigned char *	output,
		size_t *	olen,
		const unsigned char *	tag,
		size_t	tag_len
	)

Generic autenticated decryption (AEAD ciphers).

Parameters:

ctx	generic cipher context
iv	IV to use (or NONCE_COUNTER for CTR-mode ciphers)
iv_len	IV length for ciphers with variable-size IV; discarded by ciphers with fixed-size IV.
ad	Additional data to be authenticated.
ad_len	Length of ad.
input	buffer holding the input data
ilen	length of the input data
output	buffer for the output data. Should be able to hold at least ilen.
olen	length of the output data, will be filled with the actual number of bytes written.
tag	buffer holding the authentication tag
tag_len	length of the authentication tag

Returns:: 0 on success, or MBEDTLS_ERR_CIPHER_BAD_INPUT_DATA, or MBEDTLS_ERR_CIPHER_AUTH_FAILED if data isn't authentic, or a cipher specific error code.

Note:: If the data is not authentic, then the output buffer is zeroed out to prevent the unauthentic plaintext to be used by mistake, making this interface safer.

Parameters:

ctx	generic cipher context
input	buffer holding the input data

Returns:: 0 on success, MBEDTLS_ERR_CIPHER_BAD_INPUT_DATA if parameter verification fails, MBEDTLS_ERR_CIPHER_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE on an unsupported mode for a cipher or a cipher specific error code.

Note:: If the underlying cipher is GCM, all calls to this function, except the last one before mbedtls_cipher_finish(), must have ilen a multiple of the block size.
