And it's fair to assume the government (at least the NATO/Commonwealth countries and Russia; the government of the week in, say, Somalia probably isn't as sophisticated) are using something two generations ahead of what the public have access to now.
The government may have more compute and may dedicate more resources to finding vulnerabilities, but saying they are "two generations ahead" is certainly not true. They are all using RSA and AES to encrypt their data and communications, just like the rest of the world.
