age v1.2.0

5 months ago

A small release to build the release binaries with a more recent Go toolchain, and to fix a couple CLI edge cases (#491, #555).

The Go module now exposes a plugin package that provides an age plugin client. That is, Recipient and Identity implementations that invoke a plugin binary, allowing the use of age plugins in Go programs.

Finally, Recipients can now return a set of "labels" by implementing RecipientWithLabels. This allows replicating the special behavior of the scrypt Recipient in third-party Recipients, or applying policy useful for authenticated or post-quantum Recipients.

// RecipientWithLabels can be optionally implemented by a Recipient, in which
// case Encrypt will use WrapWithLabels instead of Wrap.
//
// Encrypt will succeed only if the labels returned by all the recipients
// (assuming the empty set for those that don't implement RecipientWithLabels)
// are the same.
//
// This can be used to ensure a recipient is only used with other recipients
// with equivalent properties (for example by setting a "postquantum" label) or
// to ensure a recipient is always used alone (by returning a random label, for
// example to preserve its authentication properties).
type RecipientWithLabels interface {
	WrapWithLabels(fileKey []byte) (s []*Stanza, labels []string, err error)
}
