Age (Encryption)

Age is a public-key encryption system, similar in certain concepts to GnuPG (GPG)[1], but simpler because it isn't focused on building a web of trust.

Conveniently, Age can use not just its own keypairs, but also a person's SSH keypairs for encryption and decryption. This is nice because many systems already have authenticated SSH keypairs for each other.

=> 2: /signify/

Signify is a toool to create and verify signatures on files.

=> 3: /gnupg-gpg/

GnuPG (also known by its command name, gpg) is a tool primarily for public key Encryption[4] and cryptographic authentication.

=> 5: /encrypting-filespooler-jobs-with-age/

Like the process described in Encrypting Filespooler Jobs with GPG[6], Filespooler[7] can handle packets Encrypted[8] with Age (Encryption)[9]. Age may be easier than GnuPG in a number of cases, particularly because it can use a person's existing SSH keypairs for encryption.
