EVP_CHACHA20(3) OpenSSL EVP_CHACHA20(3)
NAME
EVP_chacha20, EVP_chacha20_poly1305 - EVP ChaCha20 stream cipher
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/evp.h>
const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_chacha20(void)
const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_chacha20_poly1305(void)
DESCRIPTION
The ChaCha20 stream cipher for EVP.
EVP_chacha20()
The ChaCha20 stream cipher. The key length is 256 bits, the IV is
128 bits long. The first 32 bits consists of a counter in little-
endian order followed by a 96 bit nonce. For example a nonce of:
000000000000000000000002
With an initial counter of 42 (2a in hex) would be expressed as:
2a000000000000000000000000000002
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.
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.
