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

  • Really appreciate this article. It's a little snarky but it hits the mark and encourages people to try Age, which is a pretty awesome little tool.

  • age

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

  • 2.2 If you want to send something on a USB stick then encrypting it with a sensible and usable tool (with modern AEAD encryption) like https://github.com/FiloSottile/age will be far more reliable.

    3 You have no basis for this speculation. Signal are clear that they don't hold your data, and I really can't see 'compelled speech' like writing a backdoor being possible. Signal is as capable of resisting analysis as anything else that's around, far better than PGP, to the point that your security is essentially as good as you and your correspondents device security.

  • InfluxDB
