sodium_crypto_secretstream_xchacha20poly1305_init_pull — Initialize a secretstream context for decryption
Initialize a secretstream context for decryption.
header

key
Encryption key (256-bit).
Secretstream state.
Example #1 sodium_crypto_secretstream_xchacha20poly1305_init_pull() example
<?php
function decrypt_file(string $inputFilePath, string $outputFilePath, string $key): void
{
$inputFile = fopen($inputFilePath, 'rb');
$outputFile = fopen($outputFilePath, 'wb');
$header = fread($inputFile, 24);
$state = sodium_crypto_secretstream_xchacha20poly1305_init_pull($header, $key);
$inputFileSize = fstat($inputFile)['size'];
// Decrypt the file and write its contents to the output file:
for ($i = 24; $i < $inputFileSize; $i += 8192) {
$ctxt_chunk = fread($inputFile, 8192);
// We're not using $tag, but in real protocols you can use this on encrypt to e.g.
The above example will output something similar to:
string(12) "Hello world!"
