sodium_crypto_aead_xchacha20poly1305_ietf_decrypt — (Preferred) Verify then decrypt with XChaCha20-Poly1305
Description
sodium_crypto_aead_xchacha20poly1305_ietf_decrypt( string $ciphertext, string $additional_data, string $nonce, string $key ): string|false
Verify then decrypt with ChaCha20-Poly1305 (eXtended-nonce variant).
Generally, XChaCha20-Poly1305 is the best of the provided AEAD modes to use.
Parameters
-
ciphertext -
Must be in the format provided by sodium_crypto_aead_chacha20poly1305_ietf_encrypt() (ciphertext and tag, concatenated).
-
additional_data -
Additional, authenticated data. This is used in the verification of the authentication tag appended to the ciphertext, but it is not encrypted or stored in the ciphertext.
-
nonce -
A number that must be only used once, per message. 24 bytes long. This is a large enough bound to generate randomly (i.e. random_bytes()).
