Reminds me of MinimaLT: http://cr.yp.to/tcpip/minimalt-20130522.pdf
Now that I read separate 'QUIC Crypto' page. It sounds bit of a deja vu. QUIC also uses Curve25519 pubkey and Salsa20 cipher, which is hard to attribute as chance, considering both are DJB's work, both are used by his NaCl library and by extension by MinimaLT. Neither is particularly common algorithm. I'm not implying QUIC plagiarizes MinimaLT, there are differences in the protocol, just choice of the algorithm implies QUIC authors are aware of MinimaLT. -- ++ytti
