All can do that, its open source.

In the case of RSA, Shor's algorithm transforms integer factorization into
a polynomial-time exercise.
And quantum-resistance is an important term. Other algorithms, including
AES, may require longer keys. Research.
And, snake oil.

And you tested the apps over Tor?

NTRU is open source and implemented, also McEliece
even with Fujisaki-Okamoto for IND-CCA2! Open Source.
