gnutls_hpke_open(3)		    gnutls		   gnutls_hpke_open(3)

NAME
       gnutls_hpke_open	- API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<gnutls/hpke.h>

       int  gnutls_hpke_open(gnutls_hpke_context_t ctx,	const gnutls_datum_t *
       aad, const gnutls_datum_t * ciphertext, gnutls_datum_t *	plaintext);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_hpke_context_t ctx
		   The HPKE context to use for opening.

       const gnutls_datum_t * aad
		   The associated data (AAD)  that  was	 authenticated	during
		   sealing.

       const gnutls_datum_t * ciphertext
		   The ciphertext received from	the sender.

       gnutls_datum_t *	plaintext
		   A pointer to	a gnutls_datum_t structure where the resulting
		   plaintext will be stored.

DESCRIPTION
       This  function performs the opening operation of	HPKE. It takes the ci-
       phertext	received from the sender and uses the keys and nonces  set  up
       in the HPKE context (after decapsulation) to decrypt the	ciphertext and
       verify the authentication tag. If the decryption	and authentication are
       successful, the resulting plaintext is stored in
	plaintext  .  If  the decryption or authentication fails, the function
       securely	erases any allocated plaintext and returns an error code.

       This function can be used multiple times	with the  same	HPKE  context,
       but  the	 decapsulation	function  (gnutls_hpke_decap())	must be	called
       once before the first call to this function.

	aad should be the same AAD that	was provided to	gnutls_hpke_seal()  on
       the sender's side.

	ciphertext  should  be	the  same  ciphertext  that  was  generated by
       gnutls_hpke_seal() on the sender's side.

       The function will allocate memory for the  plaintext , and  the	caller
       is  responsible	for freeing this memory	using gnutls_free() when it is
       no longer needed.

RETURNS
       0 on success, or	a negative error code on failure
