age

A simple, modern, and secure file encryption tool. See also: age-keygen. More information: https://github.com/FiloSottile/age#usage.

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

age {{[-p|--passphrase]}} {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/encrypted_file.age}} {{path/to/unencrypted_file}}

• Encrypt a file with one or more public keys entered as literals (repeat the --recipient flag to specify multiple public keys):

age {{[-r|--recipient]}} {{public_key}} {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/encrypted_file.age}} {{path/to/unencrypted_file}}

• Encrypt a file to one or more recipients with their public keys specified in a file (one per line):

age {{[-R|--recipients-file]}} {{path/to/recipients_file.txt}} {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/encrypted_file.age}} {{path/to/unencrypted_file}}

• Decrypt a file with a passphrase:

age {{[-d|--decrypt]}} {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/decrypted_file}} {{path/to/encrypted_file.age}}

• Decrypt a file with a private key file:

age {{[-d|--decrypt]}} {{[-i|--identity]}} {{path/to/private_key_file}} {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/decrypted_file}} {{path/to/encrypted_file.age}}
