What Is ChaCha20?

A modern stream cipher, equivalent in strength to AES-256 but faster on many devices.

ChaCha20, usually paired with Poly1305 for authentication, is a modern encryption algorithm that offers a comparable security level to AES-256, but runs faster on processors without dedicated hardware acceleration (such as many mobile phones).
