//! Salsa20 stream cipher operations
//!
//! Salsa20 is a stream cipher designed by Daniel J. Bernstein. It's the predecessor
//! to ChaCha20 and shares many of its design principles.
//!
//! ## Security Considerations
//!
//! - Salsa20 uses an 8-byte nonce, which is relatively small. This means there's a
//!   higher risk of nonce reuse if you're encrypting many messages with the same key.
//! - For most applications, consider using XChaCha20 instead, which has a larger nonce.
//! - This is a raw stream cipher without authentication. For authenticated encryption,
//!   use `crypto_secretbox` instead.

/// This struct represents a nonce for use with the Salsa20 stream cipher.
/// A nonce must be unique for each message encrypted with the same key to maintain security.

/// that need to encrypt many messages with the same key, consider using XChaCha20 instead,
/// which has a larger nonce size (192 bits).
