[Feature Request] ChaCha20-Poly1305

Add encryption and signature verification algorithm ChaCha20-Poly1305. This algorithm is faster than AES128-CBC with software implementation without hardware acceleration. :astonished:
Google uses this algorithm everywhere, it means that there is a future behind this algorithm. Such a big company can not be wrong. Add ChaCha20-Poly1305 for SSH, SSTP, IPses…

It’s really odd this is not as requested feature. on the other hand, a lot of really requested features are overlooked as well…

+1
chacha20-poly1305 is faster and safer than aes-cbc/aes-gcm.

One request per year, really necessary…

We need to stop thinking about standardizing everything Google chooses.

This is funny. I suggest checking this page and seeing that often it is the exact opposite: https://killedbygoogle.com/
About ChaCha20-Poly1305 -MikroTik RouterOS uses it already in Wireguard. You can use that to have ChaCha.

Open standards adoption by big companies are not quite the same with discontinued services.

Why not? They can just as easily switch everything to something else, my comment is on this ā€œbright futureā€ dream

Because open standards can be adopted by anyone, and even if Google decides to later stop using them and ā€˜change everything to something else’ we can still use them. Discontinued proprietary services on the other hand… no. Hence, it’s not quite the same.

All this noise about google is here because the original poster wrote this:

Whereas in fact it does not mean anything. So in this context ā€œit is actually quite the sameā€.

That’s what I meant, yes

Any chance of supporting ChaCha20 in IPSEC or PPTP (even if it’s Mikrotik specific and works only between two ROS devices)?
Wireguard overhead is just massive (60 bytes) compared to ESP and it have it’s own quirks…
