Interesting. A couple of questions that come to mind:
- Any rough benchmarks vs. TLS? Or even just back-of-the-envelope math/reasoning behind the claim in the opening paragraph: "without the overhead of TLS".
- Instead of generating 24 PRNG bytes for each message to use as the NaCl nonce, why not use the sequence number each message is assigned anyway?
