Quantum-resistant symmetric encryption

Zero-knowledge architecture

Open-source ready

Built for the Post-Quantum Era — AES-256-GCM combined with PBKDF2 (310,000 iterations) is considered quantum-resistant because symmetric encryption only suffers a quadratic speedup from Grover's algorithm — effectively reducing 256-bit security to 128-bit, which remains computationally infeasible to break.
