age

> A simple, modern and secure file encryption tool.

Generate an encrypted file that can be decrypted with a passphrase:

age --passphrase --output {path/to/encrypted_file} {path/to/unencrypted_file}

Generate a key pair, saving the private key to an unencrypted file and printing the public key to stdout:

age-keygen --output {path/to/file}

Encrypt a file with one or more public keys that are entered as literals:

age --recipient {public_key_1} --recipient {public_key_2} {path/to/unencrypted_file} --output {path/to/encrypted_file}

Encrypt a file with one or more public keys that are specified in a recipients file:

age --recipients-file {path/to/recipients_file} {path/to/unencrypted_file} --output {path/to/encrypted_file}

Decrypt a file with a passphrase:

age --decrypt --output {path/to/decrypted_file} {path/to/encrypted_file}

Decrypt a file with a private key file:

age --decrypt --identity {path/to/private_key_file} --output {path/to/decrypted_file} {path/to/encrypted_file}
