Question 1

What is Age encryption?

Accepted Answer

Age is a modern, secure, and simple file encryption tool that supports multiple recipients. It uses well-established cryptographic algorithms and is designed for both technical and non-technical users.

Question 2

Is my data safe and private?

Accepted Answer

Yes! All encryption and decryption happens directly in your browser using WebAssembly. Your files and encryption keys never leave your device or get uploaded to any server.

Question 3

What's the difference between passphrase and key pair encryption?

Accepted Answer

Passphrase encryption is simple and uses a password you choose. Key pair encryption uses asymmetric cryptography where files encrypted with a public key can only be decrypted with the corresponding private key.

Question 4

How do I share encrypted files securely?

Accepted Answer

For passphrase encryption, share the passphrase through a secure channel (like in person or via a secure messaging app). For key pair encryption, share encrypted files and recipients can decrypt them with their private key.
