NAME
EVP_chacha20,
EVP_chacha20_poly1305
\- EVP ChaCha20 stream cipher
SYNOPSIS
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1
#include <openssl/evp.h>
\&
const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_chacha20(void);
const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_chacha20_poly1305(void);

DESCRIPTION
Header "DESCRIPTION" The ChaCha20 stream cipher for EVP.
EVP_chacha20() 4
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
EVP_chacha20_poly1305() 4
Item "EVP_chacha20_poly1305()" Authenticated encryption with ChaCha20-Poly1305. Like EVP_chacha20(), 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 EVP_EncryptInit\|(3) section for more information.
NOTES
Header "NOTES" Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of
calling these functions multiple times and should consider using
\fBEVP_CIPHER_fetch\|(3) with EVP_CIPHER-CHACHA\|(7) instead.
See "Performance" in crypto\|(7) for further information.
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.
"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" These functions return an EVP_CIPHER structure that contains the
implementation of the symmetric cipher. See EVP_CIPHER_meth_new\|(3) for
details of the EVP_CIPHER structure.
