13Implementors

14------------

16- **ChaCha20:** Loup Vaillant, implemented from spec.

17- **Poly1305:** Loup Vaillant, implemented from spec.

18- **BLAKE2b:** Loup Vaillant, implemented from spec.

19- **Argon2i:** Loup Vaillant, implemented from spec.

20- **X25519:** Daniel J. Bernstein, taken and packaged from SUPERCOP

21 ref10.

22- **EdDSA:** Loup Vaillant, with bits and pieces from SUPERCOP ref10.

24Test suite

25----------

27Designed and implemented by Loup Vaillant, using _libsodium_ (by many

28authors), and _ed25519-donna_ (by Andrew Moon —floodyberry).

30Manual

31------

33Loup Vaillant, Fabio Scotoni, and Michael Savage.

35- Loup Vaillant did a first draft.

36- Fabio Scotoni rewrote the manual into proper man pages (and

37 substantially changed it in the process).

38- Michael Savage did extensive editing and proofreading.

40Thanks

41------

43Fabio Scotoni provided much needed advice about testing, interface,

44packaging, and the general direction of the whole project. He also

45redesigned the monocypher.org style sheets.

47Mike Pechkin and André Maroneze found bugs in earlier versions of

48Monocypher.

50Andrew Moon clarified carry propagation in modular arithmetic, and

51provided advice and code that significantly simplified and improved

52Elligator2 mappings.

54Mike Hamburg explained comb algorithms, including the signed

55all-bits-set comb described in his 2012 paper, Fast and compact

56elliptic-curve cryptography. This made EdDSA signatures over twice as

57fast.

59Samuel Lucas found many typos in both the manual and the website.

61Jens Alfke added some #ifdefs that enabled Monocypher to compile into

62a C++ namespace, preventing symbol collisions with similarly-named

63functions in other crypto libraries.
