\&\- EVP ChaCha20 stream cipher
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1

.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The ChaCha20 stream cipher for EVP.
.IP \fBEVP_chacha20()\fR 4
.IX Item "EVP_chacha20()"
The ChaCha20 stream cipher. The key length is 256 bits, the IV is 128 bits long.
The first 64 bits consists of a counter in little-endian order followed by a 64
bit nonce. For example a nonce of:
.Sp
0000000000000002
.Sp
With an initial counter of 42 (2a in hex) would be expressed as:
.Sp
2a000000000000000000000000000002
.IP \fBEVP_chacha20_poly1305()\fR 4
.IX Item "EVP_chacha20_poly1305()"
Authenticated encryption with ChaCha20\-Poly1305. Like \fBEVP_chacha20()\fR, the key
is 256 bits and the IV is 96 bits. This supports additional authenticated data
(AAD) and produces a 128\-bit authentication tag. See the
"AEAD Interface" in \fBEVP_EncryptInit\fR\|(3) section for more information.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of
calling these functions multiple times and should consider using
\&\fBEVP_CIPHER_fetch\fR\|(3) with \fBEVP_CIPHER\-CHACHA\fR\|(7) instead.
See "Performance" in \fBcrypto\fR\|(7) for further information.
.PP
RFC 7539 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7539.html#section-2.4>
uses a 32 bit counter and a 96 bit nonce for the IV.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
These functions return an \fBEVP_CIPHER\fR structure that contains the
implementation of the symmetric cipher. See \fBEVP_CIPHER_meth_new\fR\|(3) for
details of the \fBEVP_CIPHER\fR structure.
