ffsend
:mailbox_with_mail: Easily and securely share files from the command line. A fully featured Firefox Send client.
Project mention: I'm giving out microgrants to open source projects for the third year in a row! Brag about your projects here so I can see them, big or small! | reddit.com/r/programming | 2021-12-28I maintain Send and host a public instance at send.vis.ee. Useful to send 10GB of files over email for example. I also developed ffsend as CLI tool for it.

Ockam crates implement a collection of messaging and cryptographic protocols that provide end-to-end application layer trust in data. We believe that, in order to have a realistically manageable vulnerability surface, all modern applications need end-to-end guarantees of data integrity and authenticity. The only way to build secure and private applications is to remove unnecessary implicit trust in network boundaries, intermediaries and infrastructure.

rage
A simple, secure and modern encryption tool (and Rust library) with small explicit keys, no config options, and UNIX-style composability.
Project mention: How to securely encrypt a file with an insecure password in Rust | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-01-19I'd generally look at anything like this as a code smell. If you're looking for simple file encryption in Rust, and you'd consider doing something as bespoke as this, just use `rage` (and its `age` crate). As a bonus, you get interop with Go (the reference implementation of age is in Go).
Having said this, I want to put a word in for a design change I think all of these tools should consider: don't accept user-provided passphrases by default. Instead, generate passphrases for the user, with a wordlist and entropy target.
Encrypting programs can still accept a (bad) passphrase with an option! But it shouldn't be the default behavior.

Scout APM
Less time debugging, more time building. Scout APM allows you to find and fix performance issues with no hassle. Now with error monitoring and external services monitoring, Scout is a developer's best friend when it comes to application development.

Project mention: [Noob] What's a friendly GUI solution to protect my files from being snooped on by computer shop? [Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon] | reddit.com/r/linuxmint | 2021-11-09
I wrote a dead simple file encryption utility for this sort of purpose: https://github.com/spieglt/cloaker

Lucid — High performance and distributed KV store accessible through a HTTP API

Project mention: Passage: A fork of password-store that uses age instead of GnuPG | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-12-17
We designed the plugin protocol (https://hackmd.io/@str4d/age-plugin-spec) and generally the age recipient/identity structure specifically to enable the use of hardware or remote keys!
For example, https://github.com/str4d/age-plugin-yubikey makes it very easy to use PIV tokens, including YubiKeys, with age. (Well, for now with rage, since plugin support is coming in age v1.1.0.)
I argue against password-protecting keys by default because, unlike using hardware tokens, it doesn't protect against many threat models.

Basically, you need to reinstall the DAV using yay (it will remember your configuration, no worries). However, the pypi etebase package still needs to be updated as well. I notified Tasn and created an issue, so it should be resolved swiftly.

For example, would consider housing ECIES (https://github.com/phayes/ecies-ed25519) under the RustCrypto organization?
