OpenKeychain VS age

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/238257723 https://github.com/open-keychain/open-keychain/pull/2804

In addition to my PC set up I am also using the Android Password Store in combination with OpenKeyChain. Everything works fine except that decrypting any password simply works without requiring my PIN. I've tried both USB C connection and NFC and neither interface requires the PIN.

OpenKeychain is an Android app for doing some basic GPG related work. It can verify signatures (hidden in the "encrypt/decrypt" menu)

Also it integrates i.e. with K-9 mail to sign and verify.

OpenKeychain https://www.openkeychain.org/ integrates with multiple apps for encrypting your mail, plain texts, backups, xmpp chats.

I don't know what features you are looking for in encryption software but OpenKeychain is foss, audited and works just fine if you just want basic encryption/decryption/signing.

OpenKeychain: Easy PGP (version 5.8.0): Encrypt your Files and Communications. Compatible with the OpenPGP Standard.

I use mailbox.org with the encrypted inbox, Mozilla Thunderbird on desktop, and FairEmail + OpenKeychain on Android. I think StartMail is the only other one of those four options that supports standard IMAP and SMTP.

On Android OpenKeychain, TermBot, and K-9 Mail, are awesome.

I would try openpgp, you can use https://www.gpg4win.org/ on windows and https://github.com/open-keychain/open-keychain (not actively developed, if someone knows a good alternative please comment) for android.

I like that https://github.com/FiloSottile/age has small public keys.

It exists, it's called age..

Oh nevermind, age doesn't do any of that. Indeed, it doesn't even do email https://github.com/FiloSottile/age/issues/93

Encrypted secrets thanks to SOPS and Age

I never heard of "Age" before this post. Thank you to share. If others are interested to learn more, here are two other interesting posts about Age:

of all things I was able to resolve the issue via this github issue: https://github.com/FiloSottile/age/issues/370#issuecomment-1...

Why keep something secret on a public repo? Is that not an oxymoron?

Also, I’m terms of encryption something like age[0] makes it much easier to not shoot yourself in the foot.

Why RSA specifically? For backups, I recommend Tarsnap. But if you really don't want to pay for encrypted cloud hosting, then check out age encryption.

I wouldn't use OpenSSL personally. If you just need simple but secure symmetric encryption, checkout the scrypt(1) encryption utility from Tarsnap. If you need support for public keys, check out age(1).
