Besides the difficulties of patching openssl and nss, what are other technical and political challenges preventing the adoption of djb's crypto primivatives in tls?
- JoachimSchipper 14y agoThey have not been reviewed to anywhere near the extent that AES and co. have been. So few people use them, which makes them less attractive targets for cryptanalysis, and so on. Also, I'm under the impression that NaCl achieves impressive speeds, but at the cost of using implementations tuned to a specific CPU. This makes the amount of code that has to be reviewed considerably larger.
