Internet-Draft draft-ietf-openpgp-persistent-symmetric-keys-03.txt is now
available. It is a work item of the Open Specification for Pretty Good Privacy
(OPENPGP) WG of the IETF.

   Title:   Persistent Symmetric Keys in OpenPGP
   Author:  Daniel Huigens
   Name:    draft-ietf-openpgp-persistent-symmetric-keys-03.txt
   Pages:   11

Abstract:

   This document defines a new packet and algorithm for the OpenPGP
   standard (RFC 9580) to support persistent symmetric keys, for message
   encryption using authenticated encryption with additional data (AEAD)
   and for message authentication using AEAD authentication tags.  This
   enables the use of symmetric cryptography for data storage (and other
   contexts that do not require asymmetric cryptography), for improved
   performance, smaller keys, and improved resistance to quantum
   computing.
