As yepguy mentioned AGE is simpler. I can also mention few things: - It works smoothly with SSH keys (generated from ssh-keygen), which are perfectly recognized by possibly any developer. - No need for external client, such as GpgWin/Kleopatra for Windows. - Embed-able in Rust[0] and Go[1] (there are libraries), no need to call `gpg --decrypt ...` from the command line. - Encrypted files by pass and keys are smaller. I guess it is thanks to ecliptic-curve encryption. [0]: https://github.com/str4d/rage https://github.com/str4d/rage [1]: https://github.com/FiloSottile/age https://github.com/FiloSottile/age
