Comment on ChaCha20- and Poly1305-based Cipher Suites for TLS

Comments

By Google's Adam Langley. Nice. I know he's been a big supporter of DJB's curves.

He is, but just for what it's worth, ChaCha20 (and Salsa20, from which it's derived) and Poly1305 aren't based on elliptic curves, and the TLS ECC features aren't based on Curve25519/Ed25519.
