Additionally, and importantly, a PHB is a lot less likely to misunderstand "NULL encryption" as a GoodIdea™ than "Post Quantum Cryptography" *Something* to protect against that seems only sensible to me...

Until someone decides to call it ROT-26 :-)

ROT52 - it's the only way to be sure and with two additional encryption rounds it's bound to be more secure.

I'd also add 2 rounds of XOR encryption, so that if one algorithm is broken you still have the protection of the other algorithm. Very unlikely 2 algorithms would be broken at once!
