    I’d recommend looking into https://github.com/symbolicsoft/kyber-k2so -> for post quantum safety. But I’d highly recommend looking at this: https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs-go -> this library is significantly more advanced but allows for hybrid key generation so you can have post-quantum security while being at least as secure as more established cryptography schemes like Ed25519. But at very least you should move off of RSA and research current cryptography standards for file encryption.

    No, it does not touch the disk, the buffer resides in memory and is protected using memguard, you can find more details in its documentation.
