Hi all, I want to ask the experts on here, what is your stance on algorithms not standardized / approved by NIST.


For instance, chacha20poly1305, argon2id specifically.

Obviously searching online deems them safe, and widely deployed. Even some winning awards, and some have papers analysing them.

However, I am looking for different takes from experts on these algorithms.
