Completes and fixes a partial implementation: restores an accidentally-dropped CKM_DSA_PARAMETER_GEN mechanism entry, replaces a broken CKM_CHACHA20_KEY_GEN path that generated keys typed as CKK_GENERIC_SECRET (making them unusable for encryption) with a dedicated generateChaCha20() and P11ChaCha20SecretKeyObj, adds the missing Botan backend implementation (BotanChaCha20Poly1305), and validates ulNonceBits before sizing IV buffers from caller-supplied mechanism parameters.

In `@src/lib/crypto/SymmetricAlgorithm.cpp`:
- Line 124: Update SymmetricAlgorithm::decryptUpdate and the currentAEADBuffer
handling for SymMode::ChaCha20Poly1305 so multipart ciphertext input is
cumulatively bounded before appending each chunk. Enforce the maximum across all
updates, or use bounded secure temporary storage, rather than relying on
per-chunk checkMaximumBytes or unlimited backend limits; preserve existing GCM
behavior.
In `@src/lib/SoftHSM.cpp`:
- Around line 2637-2640: Validate the nested pNonce and pAAD pointers in the
Salsa20/ChaCha20-Poly1305 parameter handling before the corresponding memcpy
calls, returning CKR_ARGUMENTS_BAD when a pointer is null while its length is
non-zero. Apply the same checks in both the current initialization path and
SymDecryptInit, preserving valid zero-length parameter behavior.
- Line 2631: Restrict ChaCha20-Poly1305 nonce validation in the SoftHSM
mechanism initialization paths to the OpenSSL backend’s supported 96-bit value.
Apply the same check in both encryption and decryption initialization before
dispatch, and reject other nonce lengths rather than passing them to EVP.
- Around line 10014-10015: In the C_GenerateKey flow around Token::encrypt,
combine the return values from both encrypt calls into bOK before invoking
DBObject::setAttribute for either value. Ensure attributes are stored and the
transaction can commit only when both key-bit and key-check-value encryption
operations succeed.

- Restrict the accepted nonce length to the OpenSSL backend's fixed 96-bit IV, since other lengths were silently mishandled by EVP; keep the broader Botan-supported range for that backend. - Reject a null pNonce/pAAD before memcpy'ing from it, on both the encrypt and decrypt init paths. - Check both Token::encrypt() results in generateChaCha20 before committing the generated key's attributes. - Wipe unauthenticated plaintext in OSSLEVPSymmetricAlgorithm's decryptFinal() on tag-verification failure.

@bukka, @antoinelochet : Could you please have a look ? |

It seems OK to me on the most part. I would like to see a test with test vectors implemented though. You can check the RFC https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc8439/ for such vectors. |
C_CreateObject with CKK_CHACHA20 failed with CKR_GENERAL_ERROR because the key-type switches in P11AttrValue::updateAttr and P11AttrCheckValue::updateAttr had no ChaCha20 case. Use the SHA-1 based KCV, matching what generateChaCha20() stores for generated keys.
- Add ChaChaTests to the crypto test suite, checking the AEAD vectors from RFC 8439 section 2.8.2 and appendix A.5 in single-part and multi-part mode, and rejection of a tampered tag, ciphertext, AAD or nonce. - Add a PKCS#11-level known-answer test that imports the RFC keys and checks C_Encrypt/C_Decrypt output, multi-part operation and CKR_ENCRYPTED_DATA_INVALID on a tampered tag or AAD.

Thanks! I added the RFC 8439 test vectors, which also caught a ChaCha20 key import bug (fixed in 409a378). |

Summary
Adds support for the ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD cipher (CKM_CHACHA20_POLY1305, CKM_CHACHA20_KEY_GEN), implemented for both the OpenSSL and Botan crypto backends.
CKM_CHACHA20_KEY_GENgenerates a 256-bitCKK_CHACHA20secret key.CKM_CHACHA20_POLY1305supports single- and multi-part encrypt/decrypt with associated data (AAD), following the same mechanism-parameter shape (CK_SALSA20_CHACHA20_POLY1305_PARAMS) as other PKCS#11 AEAD mechanisms.--with-crypto-backend=openssland--with-crypto-backend=botan.Test plan
