17Set authentication size for the AEAD transformation. This
18function is used to specify the consumer requested size of the
19authentication tag to be either generated by the transformation
20during encryption or the size of the authentication tag to be
21supplied during the decryption operation. This function is also
22responsible for checking the authentication tag size for
23validity.

37Set the maximum authentication tag size supported by the
38transformation. A transformation may support smaller tag sizes.
39As the authentication tag is a message digest to ensure the
40integrity of the encrypted data, a consumer typically wants the
41largest authentication tag possible as defined by this
42variable.
