It would be great if we could avoid, or at least minimize use of, IoT-specific crypto primitives like these. Can we?https://twitter.com/IACRePrint/status/612658849196208128 …
@NullDereference In fairness to them, they address both of those concerns (newness and the fact that NSA made it) in the conclusion.

@BRIAN_____ I have no doubt that the NSA still makes quality crypto for the public (at least some of the time), but the needed trust is gone -
@NullDereference Would you prefer a non-NSA cipher that has been studied/tested less over an NSA cipher that has been tested extensively? -
@BRIAN_____ Nope. Given the choice, I'd pick better understood NSA. Not the actual choice though. As you said, ChaChaPoly is clear option.
