Summary0008622: TCP and UDP communicator symmetric encryption
DescriptionWe should update our encryption scheme for the baseline encryption.
Currently, we use an AES/Twofish double encryption.
Instead, I propose we use a more standard KDF with XSalsa20 (or ChaCha) as stream cipher, probably with Poly1305.
Additional InformationProbably protocol breaking and considered 0.22
TagsNo tags attached.

Note that we already switched to AES-256-CTR some time ago for the TCP communicator and AES-256-GCM for the UDP communicator.
