NAME
       Crypt::Stream::ChaCha - Stream cipher ChaCha

SYNOPSIS
          use Crypt::Stream::ChaCha;

          # encrypt
          $key = "1234567890123456";
          $iv  = "123456789012";
          $stream = Crypt::Stream::ChaCha->new($key, $iv);
          $ct = $stream->crypt("plain message");

          # decrypt
          $key = "1234567890123456";
          $iv  = "123456789012";
          $stream = Crypt::Stream::ChaCha->new($key, $iv);
          $pt = $stream->crypt($ct);

DESCRIPTION
       Provides an interface to the ChaCha stream cipher.

METHODS
   new
        $stream = Crypt::Stream::ChaCha->new($key, $iv);
        #or

        # $key     .. 32 or 16 bytes
        # $iv      .. 8 or 12 bytes
