Encrypt and decrypt raw vectors — age

The core buffer transforms: no file I/O, nothing written to disk. All other verbs (_file, _text) build on these.

Usage

age_encrypt_raw(x, recipients, armor = FALSE)

age_decrypt_raw(x, identities)

Arguments

x: For age_encrypt_raw(), a raw vector of plaintext. For age_decrypt_raw(), a raw vector of ciphertext, or a length-1 character string of ASCII-armored ciphertext. Armor is auto-detected.
recipients: Character vector of "age1..." recipient strings. Give several to encrypt to multiple recipients; each can decrypt.
armor: If TRUE, produce ASCII-armored (PEM) output. The return value is still a raw vector (of the armored ASCII bytes).
identities: An age_identity, or character input accepted by age_identity(). Tried in order; the first that matches wins.

Value

A raw vector: ciphertext for age_encrypt_raw(), plaintext for age_decrypt_raw().

Examples

id <- age_keygen()
rec <- age_pubkey(id)
ct <- age_encrypt_raw(charToRaw("hello"), recipients = rec)
rawToChar(age_decrypt_raw(ct, identities = id))
#> [1] "hello"
