age
A simple, modern and secure file encryption tool. More information: https://age-encryption.org.
- 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}}
