SYNOPSIS

kryptor [*options*] [*files*...]

DESCRIPTION

kryptor encrypts and signs files using modern cryptographic primitives with few knobs—positioned as a friendlier alternative to age + minisign. Supports passphrases, symmetric keys, and asymmetric multi-recipient encryption; private keys are encrypted at rest. Cross-platform CLI for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

PARAMETERS

-e, --encrypt

Encrypt files/directories.
-d, --decrypt
Decrypt.
-g, --generate
Create key pairs.
-s, --sign / -v, --verify
Detached signatures with optional comments.
Exact long options and recipient flags: kryptor --help or https://www.kryptor.co.uk/

INSTALL

nix profile install nixpkgs#kryptor
copy

CAVEATS

Keep passphrases and private keys safe; lost keys mean lost data. Verify you are using the official binary. Encryption does not replace backups.
