Signing and signature validation #38

As I understand, the project is "pgp killer" that sounds incredibly cool.

  1. Is it possible to sign a text and validate signature?
  2. Is it possible to use ssh key pair for it?

Sorry if I missed something from the readme.

Signing is out of scope for age (see https://age-encryption.org/v1):

Any kind of signing (which is not a tooling problem, but a trust and key distribution problem, and to the extent that tools matter you should just use signify/minisign, and for keys we should probably use SSH ones)

It is however possible to use SSH keypairs with age - specifically, age can encrypt to ssh-rsa and ssh-ed25519 keypairs for (limited) backwards compatibility.

Is there a recommended way to have streamed authenticated decryption?

#51 has a deeper coverage of the problem statement. Let's keep the discussion there. Thank you all for your help!
