+ *
+ *
+ * \warning          When decrypting:
+ *                   - This function validates the CBC padding and returns
+ *                     #MBEDTLS_ERR_PKCS12_PASSWORD_MISMATCH if the padding is
+ *                     invalid. Note that this can help active adversaries
+ *                     attempting to brute-forcing the password. Note also that
+ *                     there is no guarantee that an invalid password will be
+ *                     detected (the chances of a valid padding with a random
+ *                     password are about 1/255).
+ *
+ * \param pbe_params an ASN1 buffer containing the pkcs-12 PbeParams structure
+ * \param mode       either #MBEDTLS_PKCS12_PBE_ENCRYPT or
+ *                   #MBEDTLS_PKCS12_PBE_DECRYPT
+ * \param cipher_type the cipher used
+ * \param md_type    the mbedtls_md used
+ * \param pwd        Latin1-encoded password used. This may only be \c NULL when
+ *                   \p pwdlen is 0. No null terminator should be used.
+ * \param pwdlen     length of the password (may be 0)
+ * \param data       the input data
+ * \param len        data length
+ * \param output     Output buffer.
+ *                   On success, it contains the encrypted or decrypted data,
+ *                   possibly followed by the CBC padding.
+ *                   On failure, the content is indeterminate.
+ *                   For decryption, there must be enough room for \p len
+ *                   bytes.
+ *                   For encryption, there must be enough room for
+ *                   \p len + 1 bytes, rounded up to the block size of
+ *                   the block cipher identified by \p pbe_params.
+ * \param output_size size of output buffer.
+ *                    This must be big enough to accommodate for output plus
+ *                    padding data.
