age.rb – Ruby bindings for age!

If you're working with Ruby and looking for a simple, secure, and modern solution for file encryption, age.rb bridges the gap, bringing the elegance of Ruby to the robust age encryption tool.

Give it a try, explore the repo on GitHub, and let me know what you think. Contributions and feedback are always welcome!

Migration from gpg: ✅

I've moved my 2FA backup and a few other secrets to age/passage (made by @filippo, thanks!)

I'll use oct for the few remaining things that require GPG signatures. It is a lot more friendly to use than gpg, a single executable to run, something simple. I'm using my own fork for now, as I need to sign batch of files.

At least one thing accomplished for the new year resolution

#ageEncryption #openpgp #gpg

Use #MiniSign to sign documents, archive the folder with signed documents and their signature files (*.minisig) in the usual way

Use #AgeEncryption to encrypt an file (eg: an archive), send the encrypted file (*.age) by any means to the recipient

Have you ever thought about reusing your OpenPGP Card device (e.g. Yubikey, Nitrokey) for age encryption?

Thanks to my Tuesday’s “age stunt” this is now possible: https://github.com/wiktor-k/age-plugin-openpgp-card

It’s the best of both worlds: hardware-secured ed25519 private key and simple, modern and secure cryptography of age!
