- Generate an encrypted file that can be decrypted with a passphrase:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`age --passphrase --output {{path/to/encrypted_file}} {{path/to/unencrypted_file}}`

|
|
- Generate a key pair, saving the private key to an unencrypted file and printing the public key to `stdout`:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`age-keygen --output {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Encrypt a file with one or more public keys that are entered as literals:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`age --recipient {{public_key_1}} --recipient {{public_key_2}} {{path/to/unencrypted_file}} --output {{path/to/encrypted_file}}`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Encrypt a file with one or more public keys that are specified in a recipients file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`age --recipients-file {{path/to/recipients_file}} {{path/to/unencrypted_file}} --output {{path/to/encrypted_file}}`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Decrypt a file with a passphrase:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`age --decrypt --output {{path/to/decrypted_file}} {{path/to/encrypted_file}}`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Decrypt a file with a private key file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`age --decrypt --identity {{path/to/private_key_file}} --output {{path/to/decrypted_file}} {{path/to/encrypted_file}}`
|
