5  *          functions.
6  *
7  *          ChaCha20-Poly1305 is an algorithm for Authenticated Encryption
8  *          with Associated Data (AEAD) that can be used to encrypt and
9  *          authenticate data. It is based on ChaCha20 and Poly1305 by Daniel
10  *          Bernstein and was standardized in RFC 7539.

67  *
68  *                  It must be the first API called before using
69  *                  the context. It must be followed by a call to
70  *                  \c mbedtls_chachapoly_setkey() before any operation can be
71  *                  done, and to \c mbedtls_chachapoly_free() once all
72  *                  operations with that context have been finished.
73  *
74  *                  In order to encrypt or decrypt full messages at once, for
75  *                  each message you should make a single call to
76  *                  \c mbedtls_chachapoly_crypt_and_tag() or
77  *                  \c mbedtls_chachapoly_auth_decrypt().
78  *
79  *                  In order to encrypt messages piecewise, for each
80  *                  message you should make a call to
81  *                  \c mbedtls_chachapoly_starts(), then 0 or more calls to
82  *                  \c mbedtls_chachapoly_update_aad(), then 0 or more calls to
83  *                  \c mbedtls_chachapoly_update(), then one call to
84  *                  \c mbedtls_chachapoly_finish().

89  *                  If however this is not possible because the data is too
90  *                  large to fit in memory, you need to:
91  *
92  *                  - call \c mbedtls_chachapoly_starts() and (if needed)
93  *                  \c mbedtls_chachapoly_update_aad() as above,
94  *                  - call \c mbedtls_chachapoly_update() multiple times and
95  *                  ensure its output (the plaintext) is NOT used in any other
96  *                  way than placing it in temporary storage at this point,
97  *                  - call \c mbedtls_chachapoly_finish() to compute the
98  *                  authentication tag and compared it in constant time to the
99  *                  tag received with the ciphertext.
100  *
101  *                  If the tags are not equal, you must immediately discard
102  *                  all previous outputs of \c mbedtls_chachapoly_update(),
103  *                  otherwise you can now safely use the plaintext.
