ChaCha is a stream cipher designed by Daniel J. Bernstein. It is a variant of the Salsa stream cipher. Several parameterizations exist; 'ChaCha' may refer to the original construction, or to the variant as described in RFC-8439. ChaCha is often used with Poly1305, in the ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD construction.
Options
Key: ChaCha uses a key of 16 or 32 bytes (128 or 256 bits).
Nonce: ChaCha uses a nonce of 8 or 12 bytes (64 or 96 bits).
Counter: ChaCha uses a counter of 4 or 8 bytes (32 or 64 bits); together, the nonce and counter must add up to 16 bytes. The counter starts at zero at the start of the keystream, and is incremented at every 64 bytes.

Porta Cipher
Porta Cipher is a polyalphabetic substitution cipher invented by Giovanni Battista della Porta. Where the Vigenere cipher is a polyalphabetic cipher with 26 alphabets, the Porta is basically the same except it only uses 13 alphabets. The 13 cipher alphabets it uses are reciprocal, so enciphering is the same as deciphering.
ROT13 Cipher
ROT13 Cipher is a simple letter substitution cipher with a specific key where the letters of the alphabet are offset 13 places.
Simple Substitution Cipher
Simple Substitution Cipher is a cipher that has been in use for many hundreds of years. It basically consists of substituting every plaintext character for a different ciphertext character.
Running Key Cipher
Running Key Cipher is a type of polyalphabetic substitution cipher in which a text, typically from a book, is used to provide a very long keystream.
