Hi,

I probably won't convince you anymore, so feel free to ignore this :)
Anyway, I just wanted to say that

#define CHACHA128_KEY_SIZE 16
#define CHACHA256_KEY_SIZE 32
[...]
void
chacha128_set_key(struct chacha_ctx *ctx, const uint8_t *key);
void
chacha256_set_key(struct chacha_ctx *ctx, const uint8_t *key);

looks horribly wrong to me. There is no "Chacha128" nor "Chacha256"; 
given that the standard naming scheme interprets a number after 
"Chacha" as number of rounds... well, this is just wrong.
Forcing the AES naming onto other stuff is just not a good idea 
imho.

My preference, if you want to have a fixed length in the name, is 
still "chacha_set_key128" and similar. Not sure about 
"chacha_128_set_key", "chacha20_128_set_key", ...


As a side note: the paper for Chacha only mentions the 256-bit key 
variant, although the reference implementation also provides 
the 128-bit variant...
So I'm not sure whether the 128-bit variant was actually intended 
being used at all.

regards,
Stefan
