You can always convert a secret key into the corresponding public key and as far as I can tell the output is always unique.
I agree, the use of -i
to specify recipients is somewhat confusing, and it could be better to use -R
for it instead. However, I can see the reasoning behind this solution because now the commands for encrypt and decrypt become symmetric too
age -e -i priv.key ...
age -d -i priv.key ...
I still haven't decided what to do with covert, which attempts to stay compatible with age using the exact same options, but is also using -i
during encryption to mean that the file should be signed with that identity.
