We're currently trying to move away from [NIP04](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/04.md) which uses symmetric encryption with AES-256-CBC (absolute trash compared to industry standard) to [NIP44](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/746). [NIP44 just got audited.](https://stacker.news/items/347871)

Thanks :)
