Decrypt 256-bit AES GCM Produced by Something Unknown

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to decrypt something produced elsewhere (unknown) with 256-bit AES GCM. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

# This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# We have the following to decrypt:

# Key (Base64): 
keyBase64 = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

# IV (Base64Url):
ivBase64Url = "xrvaINMLqotAbWRK"

# ciphertext (base64url):
