IMPORTANT: To use tiny-encrypt, a Yubikey(https://www.yubico.com/products/) or MacBook with Secure Enclave get the best security effect, the key MUST support PIV or OpenPGP.
Tiny Encrypt written in Rust Programming Language
Specification: Tiny Encrypt Spec V1.1
Tiny encrypt rs is a Rust implementation of Tiny encrypt java https://git.hatter.ink/hatter/tiny-encrypt-java
Tiny encrypt spec see: https://github.com/OpenWebStandard/tiny-encrypt-format-spec
Repository address: https://git.hatter.ink/hatter/tiny-encrypt-rs mirror https://github.com/jht5945/tiny-encrypt-rs
Set default encryption algorithm:
export TINY_ENCRYPT_DEFAULT_ALGORITHM='AES' # or CHACHA20
Compile only encrypt:
cargo build --release --no-default-features
Edit encrypted file:
tiny-encrypt decrypt --edit-file sample.txt.tinyenc
Read environment EDITOR
or SECURE_EDITOR
to edit file, SECURE_EDITOR
write encrypted file to temp file.
Secure editor command format:
$SECURE_EDITOR <temp-file-name> "aes-256-gcm" <temp-key-hex> <temp-nonce-hex>
Encrypt config ~/.tinyencrypt/config-rs.json

Kyber1024 usage:
Generate static-kyber1024
keypair:
$ tiny-encrypt -K -a kyber1024 -n keyname
[OK ] Keychain name: keyname
[OK ] Public key : a731b5032194c3d2ad01f36d64e859ca9738595c21aa19c852dac22f4...
[INFO ] Config envelop:
{
"type": "static-kyber1024",
"sid": "keyname",
"kid": "keychain:a731b5032194c3d2ad01f36d64e859ca9738595c21aa19c852dac22f411036c7",

}
Then write file ~/.tinyencrypt/config-rs.json
.
Last, config key id to profile.

Smart Card(Yubikey) protected ECDH Encryption description as below:
┌───────────────────┐ ┌───────────────────────────┐
│Tiny Encrypt │ │Smart Card (Yubikey) │
│ │ Get Public Key(P) │ │

└───────────────────┘ Q = kG └───────────────────────────┘
Shared Secret = kP = kdG
Store Q, Encrypt using derived key from Shared Secret
Send Q to Smart Card
───────────────────►
Shared Secret = dQ = kdG
Decrypt using derived key from restored Shared Secret
