Remarks

This property holds the 128 bit authentication tag used when use_aead is set to True. It is only applicable when use_aead is True.

This is populated after calling encrypt. To also include the value in the output set IncludeAuthTag to True.

This must be set before calling decrypt. If the auth tag is included in the encrypted data set IncludeAuthTag to True before calling decrypt.
