  • liboqs

    C library for prototyping and experimenting with quantum-resistant cryptography

  • One thing I will mention for "most secure" is that you could add a second layer of encryption based on liboqs which aims to be quantum resistant (mostly important for asymmetric algorithms, symmetric algorithms are already thought to be quantum resistant). We don't know if any of the quantum resistant algorithms are any good or not. They could all be broken, so only use them as a second layer on top of existing encryption schemes, but if you want "the best", then that's what I would do: use standard tools with the biggest variants of the algorithm and then put a layer of post-quantum crypto on top of it.

  • And of course, remember your crypto is only as strong as the weakest link. You need to be using good passphrases. Use diceware `diceware -n 9` to generate a password that even a Type I civilization would have trouble breaking.
