Package salsa20
Package salsa20 implements the Salsa20 stream cipher as specified in http://cr.yp.to/snuffle/spec.pdf.
Salsa20 differs from many other stream ciphers in that it is message orientated
rather than byte orientated. Keystream blocks are not preserved between calls,
therefore each side must encrypt/decrypt data with the same segmentation.
Another aspect of this difference is that part of the counter is exposed as
an nonce in each call. Encrypting two different messages with the same (key,
nonce) pair leads to trivial plaintext recovery. This is analogous to
encrypting two different messages with the same key with a traditional stream
cipher.
This package also implements XSalsa20: a version of Salsa20 with a 24-byte
nonce as specified in http://cr.yp.to/snuffle/xsalsa-20081128.pdf. Simply
passing a 24-byte slice as the nonce triggers XSalsa20.
In the call graph viewer below, each node
is a function belonging to this package
and its children are the functions it
calls—perhaps dynamically.
The root nodes are the entry points of the
package: functions that may be called from
outside the package.
There may be non-exported or anonymous
functions among them if they are called
dynamically from another package.
Click a node to visit that function's source code.
From there you can visit its callers by
clicking its declaring func
token.
Functions may be omitted if they were
determined to be unreachable in the
particular programs or tests that were
analyzed.
func XORKeyStream(out, in []byte, nonce []byte, key *[32]byte)
XORKeyStream crypts bytes from in to out using the given key and nonce. In
and out may be the same slice but otherwise should not overlap. Nonce must
be either 8 or 24 bytes long.
