Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's current cipher implementation and compare its algorithms with @noble/ciphers. Then consult the linked WebCrypto Modern Algorithms reference to determine whether native implementations are possible; done means the implementation has switched appropriately and native support is included where feasible.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

See: https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-ciphers

Also support native implementations if/when possible (see: https://twiss.github.io/webcrypto-modern-algos/#chacha20-poly1305).
