To clarify, both the impl and the CSR mark the ChaCha20ParameterSpec
class as final, but the CSR also (accidentally) marked the methods of
the class as final. If that qualifies as an API change, then we should
fix the CSR, but I don't know for sure. It's an odd case.

Hi,
"final" is a important modifier of the method signature and if the CSR
and the implementation are
different it might raise a question about which is the correct signature
when the JCK folks write tests.
It is pretty lightweight process to return the CSR to draft and update
it and finalize it again.
It should be readily approved. (or leave the implementation as final).

I'll make those fixes. One question with respect to the final
methods: the CSR had those methods in the description and they were
marked as final. That CSR is now complete. Will removing the final
qualifier in the methods be an issue? In terms of effect on the code
it doesn't matter. It's more of a dot-i/cross-t kind of question.
I don't think so as the behavior is the same either way.

The methods don't need to be final now that the class is final.

122 if (decodingMethod.equalsIgnoreCase(DEFAULT_FMT)) {
123 engineInit(encoded);
The spec for engineInit() says if decodingMethod is null, the
default encoding should be used, so the code above should be:
122 if (decodingMethod == null ||
decodingMethod.equalsIgnoreCase(DEFAULT_FMT)) {
123 engineInit(encoded);
Looks good otherwise.

Round 5.
This adds Sean's comments. Sean, I was never able to execute a
case on init where a half-baked object would fail. In most cases
it would fail in checks in javax.crypto.Cipher before it ever made
it down to my code. I'm pretty confident the init sequence is OK. I
did move the setting of a few data members toward the end of the
init sequence but setting the key and nonce is necessary before
creating the initial state, which is then used for generating an
authentication key for AEAD mode and generating keystream.

Round 4 of updates for ChaCha20 and ChaCha20-Poly1305, minor stuff
mostly:
* Added words in the description of javax.crypto.Cipher
recommending
callers reinitialize the Cipher to use different nonces after
each
complete encryption or decryption (similar language to what
exists
already for AES-GCM encryption).
* Added an additional test case for ChaCha20NoReuse
* Made accessor methods for ChaCha20ParameterSpec final and cleaned
up the code a bit based on comments from the field.

Round 3 of updates for ChaCha20 and ChaCha20-Poly1305:
* Removed the key field in ChaCha20 and Poly1305 implementations
and only retain the key bytes as an object field (thanks Thomas
for catching this)
* Added additional protections against key/nonce reuse. This is a
behavioral change to ChaCha20 and ChaCha20-Poly1305. Instances of
these ciphers will no longer allow you to do subsequent
doUpdate/doFinal calls after the first doFinal without
re-initializing the cipher with either a new key or nonce.
Attempting to reuse the cipher without a new initialization will
throw an IllegalStateException. This is similar to the behavior
of AES-GCM in encrypt mode, but for ChaCha20 it needs to be done
for both encrypt and decrypt.

Hello everyone,
This is a quick update to the previous webrev:
* When using the form of engineInit that does only takes op, key
and random, the nonce will always be random even if the random
parameter is null. A default instance of SecureRandom will be
used to create the nonce in this case, instead of all zeroes.
* Unused debug code was removed from the ChaCha20Cipher.java file
* ChaCha20Parameters.engineToString no longer obtains the line
separator from a System property directly. It calls
System.lineSeparator() similar to how other AlgorithmParameter
classes in com.sun.crypto.provider do it.
