Discussion Ask HN: CLI Tool for File Encryption? I recently came across sigtool[1] which on the surface looks like a slightly more well defined tool/format for encryption than age[2].And they both attempt to be simpler, more modern than gnupg[3] and easier to use than eg: openssl[4].Which tool do you use/recommend for encrypting files, and why?My primary use case is for backups - but interested in other use-cases as well.[1] https://github.com/opencoff/sigtool[2] https://github.com/FiloSottile/age[3] https://gnupg.org/[4] https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Enc 25 points e12e 4 years ago 33 comments
And they both attempt to be simpler, more modern than gnupg[3] and easier to use than eg: openssl[4].
Which tool do you use/recommend for encrypting files, and why?
My primary use case is for backups - but interested in other use-cases as well.
