@opindex require-pqc-encryption
This option forces the use of quantum-resistant encryption algorithms.
If not all public keys are quantum-resistant the encryption will fail.
-On decryption a warning is printed for all non-quantum-resistant keys.
-As of now the Kyber (ML-KEM768 and ML-KEM1024) algorithms are
-considered quantum-resistant; Kyber is always used in a composite
-scheme along with a classic ECC algorithm.
+The use of the symmetric encryption algorithm AES-256 is also enforced
+by this option. On decryption a warning is printed for all
