 *
 * \brief   This file contains ChaCha20 definitions and functions.
 *
 *          ChaCha20 is a stream cipher that can encrypt and decrypt
 *          information. ChaCha was created by Daniel Bernstein as a variant of
 *          its Salsa cipher https://cr.yp.to/chacha/chacha-20080128.pdf
 *          ChaCha20 is the variant with 20 rounds, that was also standardized
 *          in RFC 7539.
