it's more accurate to discuss NaCl since that's what libsodium is. NaCl is the combination of crypto primitives and the "box" abstraction. libsodium is just the repackaging and clean-up of the original NaCl implementation. If you're discussing crypto, you're going to be looking at the papers on NaCl.

Mm that's roughly the impression I got, but I hadn't thought of the papers - thanks for the clarification!
