Shift StreamingAead to use RustCrypto aead::stream module #67
Description
FYI, there's an open PR to add a stream module to the RustCrypto aead crate which StreamingAead could potentially benefit from:
In particular I think it'd be nice if rage and tink-rust could potentially share code, particularly around things like async and/or parallel stream readers/writers.
Anyway, heads up we're working on some common abstractions for this sort of thing and would love your input, in particular if you think it would be helpful for things like StreamingAead, and if you have any concerns about the proposed design.
I think age and Tink (in all forms) might also use a common "flavor" of STREAM, although I haven't confirmed that.
Sidebar: STREAM isn't actually OAE2, but rather "nonce-based OAE" (nOAE). CHAIN is required for OAE2. (Edit: I now see the noncebased streaming module, never mind)
