chacha20
crates.io · v0.10.2 · MIT OR Apache-2.0
The ChaCha20 stream cipher (RFC 8439) implemented in pure Rust using traits from the RustCrypto `cipher` crate, with optional architecture-specific hardware acceleration (AVX2, SSE2). Additionally provides the ChaCha8, ChaCha12, XChaCha20, XChaCha12 and XChaCha8 stream ciphers, and also optional rand_core-compatible RNGs based on those ciphers.
Tentative categories were assigned with moderate confidence (0.5 to 0.75): they are shown, but they do not count toward a category’s momentum. How categories work
