Botan is a C++ encryption library. This is a Golang project. Why do you want to be able to use Botan with SOPS? |

Hey! Thanks for the quick response :) and yes, I see the absurdity of my request... I'd like to utilize post quantum secure algorithms like AES256 or crystals kyber to encrypt files in a project where I use helmfile/vals |

SOPS already uses AES-256. SOPS does not directly use public key cryptography (which Kyber is part of), it delegates that to keystores such as PGP/GPG, Age, etc. If they support Kyber, you can use Kyber with SOPS. If they don't, you can't. |

Sadly age and PGP don't support kyber :/ |
