kage is a work-in-progress implementation of the age encryption protocol for Kotlin/JVM and Android. The reference Go implementation and the third-party Rust implementation are being used as reference for the development of the library.
- Provide a library that can generate and parse age keys, as well as encrypt or decrypt text using said keys.
- Achieve parity with the reference Go implementation: everything that can be done with the
agelibrary should also be possible with thekageAPIs
These can evolve over time, but for now the following are non-goals for our work on kage.
- Offer a user interface of any kind (CLI/GUI): The kage project intends to only be a library for other applications to build on
- Support plugins: The upstream implementation of plugins relies on binaries in
$PATH, which is impractical for mobile.
