libsodium_crypto_core_hsalsa20 (libsodium v3.0.1)

The HSalsa20 core function, which derives a outputbytes/0 byte subkey from a keybytes/0 byte key and a inputbytes/0 byte input. It is the building block of XSalsa20 and of the crypto_box key derivation.

The constbytes/0 byte constant C is normally the 16-byte string <<"expand 32-byte k">>. This is a low-level primitive: it is not a general-purpose key derivation function, and the key must be secret and uniformly random.

Key = libsodium_randombytes:buf(libsodium_crypto_core_hsalsa20:keybytes()),
In = libsodium_randombytes:buf(libsodium_crypto_core_hsalsa20:inputbytes()),
Out = libsodium_crypto_core_hsalsa20:crypto_core_hsalsa20(In, Key, <<"expand 32-byte k">>),
32 = byte_size(Out),
Out = libsodium_crypto_core_hsalsa20:crypto_core_hsalsa20(In, Key, <<"expand 32-byte k">>).
