"For Top Secret data this isn't the panacea that many imagine it to be, no commercial encryption meets the requirements for Top Secret."

What!? You're literally just making things up here. None of your statements here are really correct but this one is just flat out factually wrong.

AES-256, ECDH Curve P-384, 3072-bit RSA, and SHA-384 (for hashing) are all approved to protect TOP SECRET information. Did you think all of the Windows computers in government were all loaded up with some super secret crypto suite? Do you realize how difficult that would be?
