Alternatives for PGP


Ever since the introduction of AI and quantum computing there had been talks about having a more secure encryption or privacy protocol.

Last week, Google showcased their latest quantum processor, it seems inevitable current standards will eventually get deciphered easily.

What else is currently going on in this field maybe a new protocol, or improved forks, or how you will be handling things in this scenario?

Does it have to be real time delivery? If not then use any encryption and stick the content on a micro-SD, hand it off to a delivery driver. Some armored armed transport companies can also ensure nobody touches the item source to destination.

SMIME will become PQC as well as GPG (as of my knowledge).

SMIME will also get an ACME standard for issuing. Including a handful of CAs that will likely issue free Certificates for it.

So there is no such thing as better encryption? right?
