ChaCha20 not supported in enc

Open haneefmubarak opened this issue 10 years ago • 5 comments

openssl enc doesn't appear to support ChaCha20 for shell based stream encryption. Is it easily possible to add support for ChaCha20 to openssl enc?

Sorry @haneefmubarak , the response was faster than the actual research :smile: It's still on my todo list, please hang in there...

Hi @haneefmubarak,

just curious: for what do you need this? I know what enc is for but just wondering why Peter should include this? Can't speak for all users here but I thought most folks use s_client or maybe s_server.

(Hint: LibreSSL does have enc -chacha.)

Cheers, Dirk
