        Title           : XChaCha: eXtended-nonce ChaCha and AEAD_XChaCha20_Poly1305

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 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.
