Mirek Kratochvil 3659cc837e xsynd: new stream cipher
This one is especially cool. It is code based (yeyeye matches the
project name! :D ), it is provably secure (not like the others!) AAAND
is still quite fast (not fast as chacha though).

# Nothing Up My Sleeve
For running of XSYND a great deal of random initialization material is needed;
it's exactly around 32kbits of bitstream for parity-check matrices that needs
to look uniformly random. Great candidate for hiding errors.
This directory contains C programs that were used to generate the initial
constants. Matrix A1 is filled with (binary) digits of `sqrt(2)-1`, A2 is made
the same way from `sqrt(3)-1`.
Compile with `-lgmp`.
