I am currently working on "Secret32 New+" (the plus is still tentative). It will incorporate post-quantum cryptography (CRYSTALS-Kyber) and a dead man’s switch: if I don’t authenticate from my phone’s GPS location every 48 hours, all camera feeds redirect to a honeypot that feeds generative AI nonsense—fake people, fake dogs, fake intruders—to waste attackers’ time.
