// Eval engines do not exist for ChaCha20 or RC4 because they would not benefit from one.
// to benefit from an Eval engine they'd need to loop a variable amount of times, they'd
// need to do table lookups (eg. sbox subsitutions). ChaCha20 doesn't do either because
// it's a so-called ARX cipher, meaning that the only operations it does are add (A), rotate (R)
// and XOR (X). RC4 does do table lookups but being a stream cipher it works differently than
// block ciphers. with RC4 you XOR the plaintext against a keystream and the keystream changes
// as you encrypt stuff. the only table lookups are made against this keystream and thus table
// lookups are kinda unavoidable. with AES and DES, however, the table lookups that are done
// are done against substitution boxes (sboxes), which are invariant.
// OpenSSL can't be used as an engine, either, because OpenSSL doesn't support continuous buffers
// as SSH2 uses and altho you can emulate a continuous buffer with block ciphers you can't do so
// with stream ciphers. As for ChaCha20... for the ChaCha20 part OpenSSL could prob be used but
// the big slow down isn't with ChaCha20 - it's with Poly1305. SSH constructs the key for that
// differently than how OpenSSL does it (OpenSSL does it as the RFC describes, SSH doesn't).
// libsodium can't be used because it doesn't support RC4 and it doesn't construct the Poly1305
// keys in the same way that SSH does
// mcrypt could prob be used for RC4 but mcrypt hasn't been included in PHP core for yearss
