The best, the most secure encryption is an end-to-end encryption.
Which means application-to-application. 

 
Except for the Spectré like attacks that steal the keys if they are in
memory.
 

Spectre, not Spectré

It's not that other, "piece-wise" encryption types can't be used,
but if you are serious about privacy you should consider them
insufficient. 

And who exactly places the key into registers of your beloved shared
encryption device? And, since device is shared, who exchanges keys
hundreds or thousands times per second? Not software? Not via memory?
It all makes situation much much worse rather than better.
