ParagonIE_Sodium_Compat::crypto_stream_xchacha20_xor_ic( string $message, string $nonce, int $counter, string $key, bool $dontFallback = false ): string

Source
wp-includes/sodium_compat/src/Compat.php:3621
DANGER! UNAUTHENTICATED ENCRYPTION!

Description

Unless you are following expert advice, do not use this feature.

Algorithm: XChaCha20

This DOES NOT provide ciphertext integrity.

Compatibility

WordPress
core
PHP
7.4–8.6-dev
  • 6.7.7
  • 6.8.8
  • 6.9.7
  • 7.0.4
  • 7.1.0

Present in every tracked release (6.7.7 to 7.1.0), and compiles on PHP 7.4 through 8.6-dev.

Parameters

$messagestring
Plaintext message
$noncestring
Number to be used Once; must be 24 bytes
$counterint
$keystring
Encryption key
$dontFallbackbooloptional
Default: false

Return value

string
Encrypted text which is vulnerable to chosen- ciphertext attacks unless you implement some other mitigation to the ciphertext (i.e.
Encrypt then MAC)

Performance profile

How much work a call to ParagonIE_Sodium_Compat::crypto_stream_xchacha20_xor_ic() does, and what it touches: the algorithmic scaling, the Zend instruction count per call across PHP versions, the hooks it hands control to, and the core code that calls it. Measured from the compiled opcodes, not a stopwatch, so every number is identical on any machine running the same PHP version, and every function in core is ranked by cost.

Cost class
Trivial

Touches nothing outside its own arguments.

Scaling
Constant

No loop in the body: the same number of instructions runs whatever you pass in.

Instructions
35–49

Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 64.

Plugin surface
None

Nothing here hands control to plugin code.

Called by
1

1 place in core call this, so the cost is paid more often than your own code shows.

What one call costs · 4 distinct outcomes

One number would be a lie: the work depends on which branch runs. These are every distinct cost ParagonIE_Sodium_Compat::crypto_stream_xchacha20_xor_ic() can have, taken from its control-flow graph on PHP 8.5.

An instruction is not a fixed amount of time, so a matching count is not necessarily the same speed; what it rules out is a difference in the work itself.
