Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2018-e8bd8fcb9f
2018-06-02 20:42:19.387351
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : golang-github-aead-chacha20
Product : Fedora 28
Version : 0
Release : 0.1.20180517gite253874.fc28
URL :
https://github.com/aead/chacha20
Summary : ChaCha20 and XChaCha20 stream ciphers
Description :
This package provides implementations of three ChaCha versions:
- ChaCha20 with a 64 bit nonce (can en/decrypt up to 2^64 * 64 bytes for one
key-nonce combination)
- ChaCha20 with a 96 bit nonce (can en/decrypt up to 2^32 * 64 bytes ~ 256 GB
for one key-nonce combination)
- XChaCha20 with a 192 bit nonce (can en/decrypt up to 2^64 * 64 bytes
for one key-nonce combination)
Furthermore the chacha sub package implements ChaCha20/12 and ChaCha20/8.
These versions use 12 or 8 rounds instead of 20. But it's recommended to use
ChaCha20 (with 20 rounds) - it will be fast enough for almost all purposes.
