nanoclaw ff41256f2f Initial commit: SecPaste encrypted pastebin client
SecPaste is a Python library and CLI tool for sharing encrypted content via
public pastebin services with zero-knowledge architecture.

Features:
- Pluggable crypto backends (AES-256-GCM, ChaCha20-Poly1305, Kyber-768)
- Pluggable pastebin providers (dpaste.com, extensible)
- URL fragment key storage (key never sent to server)
- Both CLI and library usage
- Post-quantum cryptography support (experimental)

"""Post-quantum cryptography cipher backend (experimental).
This implements a hybrid approach:
- Uses Kyber for key encapsulation (post-quantum)
- Uses AES-256-GCM for actual data encryption (quantum-resistant symmetric)
Note: Requires liboqs-python library for Kyber support.
