Feature request: add option to immediately validate ciphertext by decrypting it #235
Description
When encrypting data to create an encrypted message, some customers may want to immediately attempt a decryption of the data before returning it in order to confirm that the ciphertext is valid and can be decrypted. We could offer this as a built-in option of the ESDK; during encrypt, we internally decrypt the encrypted message before returning it.
We'll have to think a bit about the API here to come up with something that works for all supported languages. See one possible approach here: aws/aws-encryption-sdk-java#402
