1) Only NIST 3rd Round Public-key Encryption & Key-establishment Algorithms and Digital Signature Algorithms selected for standardization and Algorithms considered for fourth round of analysis are supported.
2) All Algorithms used in this project use parameter sets which claim NIST Level 5 which provide highest security.
2) Uses AES256-GCM and Argon2id Key Derviation to protect secret keys and for Hybrid Encryption of Data.
