Are there any plans to implement encryption for private messages using a public key attached to the Fediverse account?

I understand that the metadata would not be encrypted, but that would be more than sufficient for many use cases. The decentralised nature of the Fediverse is a major advantage in the fight against censorship.

@Lemmus @evan Relying on a public key directory seems very strange... it totally breaks the decentralisation. The instance of the recipient's account is a better place for the publication of the public key.

But the page link to this repository : https://github.com/swicg/activitypub-e2ee
I hope this will be implemented soon.
