Subject: Support for age-encryption
Hi!
There is a simpler alternative to gpg if you just want to encrypt a
file, it's called age. Would it be possible to make a format for this?
Looks like it's using scrypt. In this example I used iloveyou as
password, which is one of the top rockyou passwords, for simplicity.
albve@...nanog:~$ sudo apt install age
albve@...nanog:~$ echo "Hello, World!" > hello.txt
albve@...nanog:~$ age -p hello.txt > hello.txt.age
albve@...nanog:~$ hexdump -C hello.txt.age

Hello, World!
All information needed appears to be present in the file header. Has
anyone looked into supporting age-encryption?
