Implement ChaCha20-Poly1305 in OpenSSL on Windows?

i would like to implement the CHACHA20-POLY1305-Cipher into my Apache2.4.10 with mod_ssl on Windows

I use Apache on Win64 with mod_ssl and the OpenSSL library 1.0.2d with LibreSSL-Extension. So when i now type the command version into openssl.exe, it shows up with LibreSSL v2.1.6. OpenSSL's and LibreSSL's Librarys are located in the bin folder from apache.

The problem is that openssl now knows the CHACHA20-POLY1305-Cipher but Apache with its mod_ssl still accesses only the old library libeay32.dll from OpenSSL itself but not the new implemented LibreSSL library libssl-32.dll

So how do i need to patch/configure/modify Apache (mod_ssl) to access the LibreSSL library which includes the CHACHA20-POLY1305-Ciphers?

Thank you.

You need to wait for OpenSSL to support ChaCha20: https://www.openssl.org/policies/roadmap.html#forthcoming
