About:
age-plugin-se integrates with the age encryption framework to utilize Apple's Secure Enclave for key management. It allows users to encrypt and decrypt files using hardware-backed cryptographic keys that never leave the device's secure environment. This provides a high level of security for protecting sensitive data by leveraging hardware-based key storage.
Key Features:
  • Hardware-backed key storage via Apple Secure Enclave
  • Seamless integration with the age encryption ecosystem
  • Enhanced security by preventing key extraction from the device
  • CLI-based tool for easy automation and scripting
Use Cases:
  • Encrypting sensitive files or backups with hardware-protected keys
  • Securing data at rest on macOS devices
  • Automated encryption workflows requiring high-security key storage
Alternatives:
  • age-plugin-yubikey – Similar functionality but uses YubiKey hardware instead of Apple's Secure Enclave.
  • age – The core encryption tool; this plugin extends it with Secure Enclave support.
