Encrypt content using the age-encryption.org/v1 specification. Supports binary or ASCII armored content encoding using configurable properties. The age standard uses ChaCha20-Poly1305 for authenticated encryption of the payload. The age-keygen command supports generating X25519 key pairs for encryption and decryption operations.
