Poorly referenced assertion that ChaCha is better.
In this diff, someone added the following content:


 * Where the CPU hardware does not support AES acceleration, ChaCha is an alternative cipher with better performance and without sacrificing security.

AES-128 broken to a complexity of 2^96
join the effort it's open! The main programmer who is doing this work, is limited to a 4 core Xeon 1275 with 3 active cores. We need people with fast boxes and a will to look at the code and improve it.

Supported by the following refs:


 * (Blog, unreliable source)
 * (The website of the maker of ChaCha is not going to be neutral w.r.t ChaCha)

This violates WP:UNDUE, especially since the references supporting this assertion are rather dubious. Blogs are not reliable sources, as per WP:BLOGS. The website of the designer of ChaCha is not a neutral nor reliable source, as per WP:NPOV and WP:SPS. Samboy (talk) 21:20, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Neither of those references supports the claim in any way. —Naddy (talk) 10:24, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
