ciphertextLengthForPlaintext

ciphertextLengthForPlaintext(plaintextLength, chunkSize): number

Defined in: packages/filecoin-encryption-envelope/src/chunk-layout.ts:147

Detached ciphertext length a plaintext of plaintextLength bytes produces at chunkSize: P + 16 × max(1, ceil(P / S)), one tag per chunk.

This is what makes a declared plaintext_length checkable. The mapping is strictly increasing in P, so one ciphertext length admits exactly one valid P — which holds only because the profile permits a single final-chunk form (see chunkLayout). An unsafe result is rejected rather than returned: past Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER a length rounds silently instead of failing.
