Autocrypt v2 - Post-Quantum and Reliable Deletion

Modern OpenPGP v6 certificate with post-quantum cryptography, reliable deletion, and transport-agnostic messaging for decentralized systems.

@delta speaking of deletion, does delta chat do anything to ensure deleted messages are gone for good from the device (so the data isn’t recoverable via forensics tools even if applied right away)?
@zaire Unfortunately, on systems which use flash storage like a typical smartphone or laptop with SSDs, the application can't influence when data is getting overwritten, unless it overwrites all unallocated space with zeros: https://www.baeldung.com/linux/wipe-free-space#bd-overview
