Dear CFRG,

Chairs would appreciate input on this new draft from the CFRG community. 

Specifically, we are looking for volunteers to read the draft and provide feedback on the list.

Thanks,

Kenny (for the chairs)

    A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
    This draft is a work item of the Crypto Forum RG of the IRTF.
    
            Title           : XChaCha: eXtended-nonce ChaCha and AEAD_XChaCha20_Poly1305
            Author          : Scott Arciszewski
    	Filename        : draft-irtf-cfrg-xchacha-01.txt
    	Pages           : 18
    	Date            : 2019-07-22
    
    Abstract:
       The eXtended-nonce ChaCha cipher construction (XChaCha) allows for
       ChaCha-based ciphersuites to accept a 192-bit nonce with similar
       guarantees to the original construction, except with a much lower
       probability of nonce misuse occurring.  This helps for long running
       TLS connections.  This also enables XChaCha constructions to be
       stateless, while retaining the same security assumptions as ChaCha.
    
       This document defines XChaCha20, which uses HChaCha20 to convert the
       key and part of the nonce into a subkey, which is in turn used with
       the remainder of the nonce with ChaCha20 to generate a pseudorandom
       keystream (e.g. for message encryption).
    
       This document also defines AEAD_XChaCha20_Poly1305, a variant of
       [RFC7539] that utilizes the XChaCha20 construction in place of
       ChaCha20.
