Algorithms

ChaCha20-Poly1305-SIV (CCP-SIV): A misuse-resistant, key-committing AEAD scheme built from ChaCha20 and Poly1305 that can be implemented using existing cryptographic library APIs.

The AEGIS Family of Authenticated Encryption Algorithms: The AEGIS-128L, AEGIS-256, AEGIS-128X, and AEGIS-256X Internet-Draft.

Balloon Key Derivation Function (BKDF): An unpublished Internet-Draft for BKDF, a memory-hard password hashing and password-based key derivation function derived from Balloon.

Encrypt-then-MAC for Committing AEAD (cAEAD): An unpublished Internet-Draft and committing ChaCha20-BLAKE2b AEAD implementation.

kcChaCha20-Poly1305: A key-committing version of ChaCha20-Poly1305.

XXChaCha20: A variant of XChaCha20 that has a 224-bit nonce, with no performance penalty.

Finnick: A proof of concept for how you can turn a duplex-style AEAD scheme (e.g., AEGIS) into a memory-hard password-based KDF.

HChaChaCha: A family of block ciphers built from HChaCha20 for use in the PACT/comPACT and SC transforms for AEAD commitment.
