NixOS. Managing secrets with sops-nix
Hi! Here are some notes about how to use secrets in NixOS configuration securely. As of now I use sops-nix with simple age keys (not generated from ssh keys).

Hell Is Overconfident Developers Writing Encryption Code
Those aren’t even the correct answer for the use-case in question, anywho. What they’re looking for would actually be sops (https://github.com/getsops/sops), or age (made by the fantastic Filo Sottile: https://github.com/FiloSottile/age), or, hell, just using libsodium sealed boxes. AMS KMS or Vault is perhaps even worse of an answer, Actually

What to Use Instead of PGP
It looks like age with SSH keys uses a birationally equivalent keypair.
https://github.com/FiloSottile/age/blob/176e245b3cb3ada322c2...
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!

Better Dotfiles
I migrated to chezmoi recently my only gripe is `chezmoi cd` opening in a new shell but `chezmoi git` usually is what I need. The age [0] integration is nice.

New Directory Encryption Tool
I have been a fan of https://github.com/FiloSottile/age for a while now, but one thing that has always bothered me about encryption tools is how they don't offer a way to secure a whole directory which, IMO, is a much more common use-case.
I decided to spend a couple hours tackling the problem myself and came up with agevault.
It's a directory encryption tool using age file encryption. It locks/unlocks a vault (directory) with a passphrase-protected identity file and like age, it features no config options, allowing for a straightforward secure flow.
I'll answer any questions regarding it. As always, use it at your own risk.

Age is a simple, modern and secure file encryption tool, format, and Go library
Identity files can be passphrase encrypted and cmd/age will transparently ask for the passphrase before using them. Is that what you meant?

XAES-256-GCM
I would love to see this used in a FIPS-compliant variant of age[1] for archival file encryption use cases. We had banking industry auditors veto age for this use case due to the use of ChaCha instead of AES (they were fine with the X25519 public key part of age which I think was somewhat recently approved by NIST).
I’ve no experience with golang but it seems like it should drop right in based on the age spec. I might give it a shot if time ever permits. I guess I should call it “cage” as in “compliant actually good encryption”
