ChaCha20based
ChaCha20based refers to cryptographic algorithms that utilize the ChaCha20 stream cipher as their foundation. ChaCha20 is a symmetric stream cipher designed by Daniel J. Bernstein. It is known for its speed, simplicity, and security. The "based" aspect signifies that other cryptographic protocols or algorithms build upon the core ChaCha20 functionality.
One prominent example is the Poly1305 message authentication code, which is often combined with ChaCha20 to
The design of ChaCha20 is based on a series of quarter-round operations that manipulate 32-bit words. These
ChaCha20based algorithms are favored for their performance, especially on platforms that lack dedicated hardware acceleration for
