.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Salsa20 is a stream cipher designed by D J Berstein. It has an underlying block size of 64 bytes
(named as constant
.BR SalsaBsize ).
It supports key sizes of 128 and 256-bit (recommended).
.PP
.I SetupSalsastate
takes a reference to a
.B Salsastate
structure, a
.I key
of
.I keylen
bytes, which should normally be
.BR SalsaKeylen = 32 ,
a
.I iv
or nonce of
.I ivlen
bytes (can be
.BR SalsaIVlen = 8
or
.BR XSalsaIVlen = 24 ,
set to all zeros if the
.I iv
argument is nil),
and the number of
.I rounds
(set to the default of 20 if the argument is zero).
.PP
.I Salsa_encrypt
encrypts
.I len
bytes of
.I buf
in place using the
.B Salsastate
in
.IR s .
.I Len
can be any byte length.
Encryption and decryption are the same operation given the same starting state
.IR s .
.PP
.I Salsa_encrypt2
is similar, but encrypts
.I len
bytes of
.I src
into
.I dst
without modifying
.IR src .
.PP
.I Salsa_setblock
sets the Salsa block counter for the next encryption to
.IR blockno ,
allowing seeking in an encrypted stream.
.PP
.I Salsa_setiv
sets the the initialization vector (nonce) to
.IR iv .
.PP
.I Hsalsa
is a key expansion function that takes a 128 or
256-bit key and a 128-bit nonce and produces a new
256-bit key.
