Package chacha20poly1305 implements the AEAD_CHACHA20_POLY1305 algorithm, which combines ChaCha20, a secure stream cipher, with Poly1305, a secure MAC function. (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-chacha20poly1305-04) The AEAD (Athenticated Encryption with Associated Data) construction provides a unified API for sealing messages in a way which provides both confidentiality *and* integrity. Unlike unauthenticated modes like CBC, AEAD algorithms are resistant to chosen ciphertext attacks, such as padding oracle attacks, etc., and add only 16 bytes of overhead. AEAD_CHACHA20_POLY1305 has a significant speed advantage over other AEAD algorithms like AES-GCM, as well as being extremely resistant to timing attacks.
