classmethod decrypt(kdf, passphrase, cipher_bytes)

Decrypts the given ciphertext bytes using the given options of a key derivation function and the given passphrase to derive the encryption key.

Parameters

• kdf (KDFOptions) – The options of a key derivation function.

• passphrase (str) – The passphrase from which the cipher key is derived.

• cipher_bytes (bytes) – Ciphertext bytes to be decrypted.

Return type

bytes

Returns

Plaintext bytes.

classmethod decrypt_with_key_iv(cipher_bytes, cipher_key, initialization_vector)
