Dev Ojha 24b94d7aa4 crypto: Switch hkdfchacha back to xchacha (#2058)
hkdfchachapoly was a construction we came up with. There is no longer any
reason to use it. We should instead just use xchacha for the remaining use
cases we have. (Symmetrically encrypting the keys in the sdk keys package)

crypto

crypto is the cryptographic package adapted for Tendermint's uses

Importing it

To get the interfaces, import "github.com/tendermint/tendermint/crypto"

For any specific algorithm, use its specific module e.g. import "github.com/tendermint/tendermint/crypto/ed25519"

If you want to decode bytes into one of the types, but don't care about the specific algorithm, use import "github.com/tendermint/tendermint/crypto/amino"

Binary encoding

For Binary encoding, please refer to the Tendermint encoding spec.

JSON Encoding

crypto .Bytes() uses Amino:binary encoding, but Amino:JSON is also supported.

Example Amino:JSON encodings:
