[Pkg-swan-devel] Bug#814927: strongSwan misses ChaCha/POLY support

[Alessandro Guido]

Package: strongswan
Version: 5.3.5-1
Severity: wishlist

strongSwan supports the ChaCha20/Poly1305 algorithm since version 5.3.3.
Such algo is supposedly faster than AES on machines w/o hardware
acceleration.
I suggest to include --enable-chapoly [1] when running the configure script.
