</brief>
<authored>
<para>Branch to Register, with pointer authentication. This instruction authenticates the address in the general-purpose register that is specified by <syntax>&lt;Xn&gt;</syntax>, using a modifier and the specified key, and branches to the authenticated address.</para>
<para>The modifier is:</para>
<list type="unordered">
<listitem><content>In the general-purpose register or stack pointer that is specified by <syntax>&lt;Xm|SP&gt;</syntax> for <instruction>BRAA</instruction> and <instruction>BRAB</instruction>.</content></listitem>
<listitem><content>The value zero, for <instruction>BRAAZ</instruction> and <instruction>BRABZ</instruction>.</content></listitem>
</list>
<para>Key A is used for <instruction>BRAA</instruction> and <instruction>BRAAZ</instruction>. Key B is used for <instruction>BRAB</instruction> and <instruction>BRABZ</instruction>.</para>
<para>If the authentication passes, the PE continues execution at the target of the branch. For information on behavior if the authentication fails, see <xref>Faulting on pointer authentication</xref>.</para>
<para>The authenticated address is not written back to the general-purpose register.</para>
