+ *                     time, this function validates the CBC padding and returns

+ *                     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).
+ *                   - if #MBEDTLS_CIPHER_PADDING_PKCS7 is disabled at compile
+ *                     time, this function does not validate the CBC padding.
