It will be open source, end to end encrypted using Signal’s double ratchet encryption protocol, and he plans to make it easy for fediverse platforms to integrate it. The beta will release later this month.
He’s also the creator of https://fedidb.org btw
which is one of the big things behind quantum computing. we will (will, not might) get to a point where QCs can do the math to crack RSA/other large prime-based encryption standards.
That’s why you add a post-quantum (AKA symmetric) password too.
But be careful there have been a few “quantum safe” encryption algorithms proven to not break quantum safe.
