[clach04]

Status

• decryption support
• encryption support
• basic test suite tests
• exe support
  • test suite tests for exe
• test suite with reference test files
• sample test files added
• Python 2.7 support
• Jython support

My Real notes test benchmark takes ~25 secs with pyage and 0.15 seconds using a modified age binary that allows environment variables to be used instead of prompting for passphrase FiloSottile/age#520

Also see #176 put together a shareable test/benchmark that is larger than https://github.com/clach04/puren_tonbo/tree/main/puren_tonbo/tests/demo_notes but smaller than https://github.com/Zettelkasten-Method/10000-markdown-files as used in gsantner/markor#2471

notes

• Age reference
• https://github.com/str4d/rage - rust but has pinentry support
• https://github.com/paulmillr/jage typescript /
  Javascript
• https://github.com/Producement/dage dart
• https://github.com/android-password-store/kage kotlin / java
• Python
  • pyrage - needs rust
  • https://github.com/zatoichi-labs/page also rust
  • https://github.com/jojonas/pyage Pure python but not considered complete, appears to also need rust
  • https://github.com/vsajip/pagesign wraps age binary, no passphrase support only identity
  • Implement https://github.com/C2SP/C2SP/blob/main/age.md using cryptodome ChaCha20-Poly1305 + py2/3 scrypt, https://pypi.org/project/passlib/, or py3.6 hashlib.scrypt
    • https://github.com/Legrandin/pycryptodome/blob/master/lib/Crypto/Cipher/ChaCha20_Poly1305.py
• Service
  • https://github.com/jcouyang/agete

Age and rage don't support env variables out of concerns for /proc leakage. Rage binary may be usable with pinentry.
