AEAD

Encryption that both hides data and proves it wasn't tampered with.

AEAD (Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data) is a class of ciphers that provide confidentiality for the message and integrity/authenticity for both the message and some extra unencrypted context (the 'associated data'). If anyone alters the ciphertext or the associated data, decryption fails instead of returning garbage. AES-GCM is a widely used AEAD scheme.
