Hello,
I want to encrypt a stream using ChaCha20Poly1305.
chacha20 does supply the apply_keystream function to encrypt streamed data.
I can't find a alternative to that using ChaCha20Poly1305.
As far as I can tell you have to supply the whole plain-/ciphertext loaded in memory.

How could I encrypt data that is larger that the available memory in my machine?

Am I missing something?

Cheers,
Paul

Right now it's not possible without manually using the underlying primitives. See RustCrypto/traits#1364 for more information.
