Age is great. I used the rust crate to write an ftp server that encrypts the files before they hit disk (specific use case is having a drop box for my network scanner) and I love the simplicity and composability it provides.

One feature request: it would be awesome to have paraphrase encryption for age private keys.

Identity files can be passphrase encrypted and cmd/age will transparently ask for the passphrase before using them. Is that what you meant?

Yeah that’s it. Probably just wasn’t supported in the rust age library when I used it. Will double check.
