Hi,

I would like to enable ChaCha20 and Poly1305 for TLS in nodejs, but if I run tls.getCiphers() on nodejs v6.10.3 running on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS , it is not there.

So is this possible without building nodejs on my own? Can I maybe drop in these ciphers by using pure JavaScript?

Any information would be highly appreciated. I need this because I am communicating with a IoT-device that does not have support for HW-accelerated AES and using ChaCha20 would probably improve performance quite a bit.

Best Regards
