  1. age

    A simple, modern and secure encryption tool (and Go library) with small explicit keys, no config options, and UNIX-style composability.

    It looks like age with SSH keys uses a birationally equivalent keypair.

    If you're using, for example, libsodium, you'd want the Ed25519 to X25519 functions to convert the two. (Note that you need to operate over raw bytes to do this.)

    In practice, you shouldn't do this. Use different keys for different purposes!
