About ChaCha20 Cipher

What is ChaCha20?

ChaCha20 is a stream cipher designed by Daniel J. Bernstein. It's known for its high performance and security, especially on systems without dedicated AES hardware acceleration.

Key Features

  • • 256-bit key size
  • • 96-bit nonce (12 bytes)
  • • High performance on all platforms
  • • Resistant to timing attacks

Security Notes

Never reuse a key-nonce pair. The nonce should be unique for each encryption operation with the same key. ChaCha20 is considered secure for modern cryptographic applications.

Use Cases

  • • High-performance encryption
  • • Mobile and IoT devices
  • • VPN and secure communications
  • • Modern TLS implementations
