The thing to do with truly important data is to cascade algorithms. That is encrypt it using multiple algorithms so a failure in one in a cryptographic sense means they still need a failure in another and if the combined failures cannot shave off enough bits they still can’t get the data. AES is fairly strong and proven so I would use it as one of those encryption schemes. Ideally you’d do this with ciphers from multiple mutually hostile governments (one from Russia, one from US/NATO).

nah nah nah just roll your own crypto
(Only half joking: worthless in a targeted attack but effective over unmanned dragnet)
Yea I figure if you have anything truly important or prone to being targeted then… It doesn’t cost you much to over do it compared to not.
