Question on engineGetParameters() in ChaCha20Cipher.java:
231 protected AlgorithmParameters engineGetParameters() {
232 return null;
233 }
Shouldn't this return the params that are passed into engineInit()?
Also, when null is passed in and the params are generated using default
values, this method should return those params. From
CipherSpi.engineInit(int opmode, Key key, SecureRandom):
"The generated parameters can be retrieved using engineGetParameters or
engineGetIV (if the parameter is an IV)."

And the fun just keeps going! Round 7.
This revision removes wrap/unwrap support for ChaCha20 and
ChaCha20-Poly1305 until there is a standardized key wrapping approach
for these ciphers (similar to how AES has its own key wrapping scheme in
RFC 3394).
Initializing the cipher with WRAP/UNWRAP mode will throw
UnsupportedOperationException and likewise the wrap/unwrap methods will
throw IllegalStateException.

Round 6.
This brings ChaCha20/ChaCha20-Poly1305 into conformance with Cipher's
specification when forms of init that take AlgorithmParameters or
AlgorithmParameterSpec are used. Previously, a non-null AP or APS
object was required. In order to better conform to the specification,
if a null AP or APS is provided for these ciphers, a random nonce will
be generated and the counter will be set to 1, just as is currently
done with valid forms of init that don't take an AP or APS object
(e.g. Cipher.init(int, Key, SecureRandom) ). Per the spec in Cipher,
this is only true for ENCRYPT_MODE and will throw InvalidKeyException
when done in DECRYPT_MODE.
I also added a few test cases that exercise these code paths in the
ChaCha20Poly1305Parameters.java test case.

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.
