Can any of you tell me about the encryption Krux uses for creating encrypted QR codes?

Is Krux required to decrypt QR codes that were encrypted with Krux, or does Krux use some sort of standard such that anyone who knows the correct key and the method of encryption can still decrypt the QR codes years from now even if the Krux project no longer exists?

I'm asking because encrypted QR codes seems like a brilliant idea, but it's also dangerous in terms of future-proofing if the only way to decrypt these QR codes is by using Krux.

I have a full review of Krux on the way, but I'm still trying to learn more before finishing it.  Here's the short review though:

Krux is an amazing - and amazingly powerful - hardware wallet option which more people need to check out.  Buy a Maix Amigo and install Krux on it.  You'll be glad you did.

Experimental Krux binaries on github:

...this is the version I'm running.  It's very stable and polished.
