age

We have hosted the application age in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about age:

age is a security-oriented tool and library by Filo Sottile. age is a simple, modern, secure encryption utility (and Go library) that emphasizes minimal configuration and strong defaults. It provides small explicit keys, no complex options, and is designed for UNIX-style composability; you can pipe into it, integrate it into scripts, etc. It supports a clearly defined format and promotes interoperability across implementations (there are Rust, TypeScript, etc). The project is well-suited for personal data encryption, backup use-cases, scripting encryption workflows, and embedding encryption in tools. Because of its design philosophy, it avoids the bloat of many older encryption utilities while maintaining strong cryptographic hygiene. It�s especially useful for developers or system administrators who want to adopt encryption without learning a multitude of options.

Features:

• Minimal-config file encryption tool and Go library
• Explicit small key format for easier handling and sharing
• UNIX-style composability (pipe streams, integrate into scripts)
• Clear specification for format and multiple implementations
• Cross-platform binaries and library support
• Strong cryptographic defaults and simplicity of use

Programming Language: Go.
