Verify then decrypt with ChaCha20-Poly1305 (IETF variant).
The IETF variant uses 96-bit nonces and 32-bit internal counters, instead of 64-bit for both.
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. 12 bytes long.
key
Encryption key (256-bit).
Returns the plaintext on success, ou false
si une erreur survient.
