Olaoluwa Osuntokun 9234956a34 brontide: replace aead/chacha20 with x/crypto/chacha20poly1305 This commit replaces aead’s chacha20 library with the official golang implementation. We should see a bit of a performance increase on amd64 as the assembly for the library uses the SIMD AVX2 instructions in the inner loop. In the future assembly will be written for other platforms, so we’ll see a performance increase across the board. Fixes #146.		2017-03-15 19:03:24 -07:00

[] (https://travis-ci.org/lightningnetwork/lnd) [] (https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/LICENSE) [] (http://godoc.org/github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/brontide)

The brontide package implements a secure crypto messaging protocol based off of the Noise Protocol Framework. The package exposes the raw state machine that handles the handshake and subsequent message encryption/decryption scheme. Additionally, the package exposes a net.Conn and a net.Listener interface implementation which allows the encrypted transport to be seamlessly integrated into a codebase.

The secure messaging scheme implemented within this package is described in detail in BOLT #8 of the Lightning Network specifications.

This package has intentionally been designed so it can be used as a standalone package for any projects needing secure encrypted+authenticated communications between network enabled programs.
