[Ach] NIST review of cryptographic standards

[Maarten Van Horenbeeck]

Hi Thomas,

For ChaCha20, there's basic support already in Mozilla:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=917571

Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Elie Bursztein and others are also driving
development in other client libraries like NSS and OpenSSL:
https://www.imperialviolet.org/2013/10/07/chacha20.html

There's support for Rabbit in CyaSSL, but I don't see a lot of practical
support for it emerging outside of that library.

Cheers,
Maarten
