// Package age implements file encryption according to the age-encryption.org/v1
// specification.
//
// For most use cases, use the [Encrypt] and [Decrypt] functions with
// [X25519Recipient] and [X25519Identity]. If passphrase encryption is required, use
// [ScryptRecipient] and [ScryptIdentity]. For compatibility with existing SSH keys
// use the filippo.io/age/agessh package.
//
// age encrypted files are binary and not malleable. For encoding them as text,
// use the filippo.io/age/armor package.
//
// # Key management
//
// age does not have a global keyring. Instead, since age keys are small,
// textual, and cheap, you are encouraged to generate dedicated keys for each
// task and application.
//
// Recipient public keys can be passed around as command line flags and in
// config files, while secret keys should be stored in dedicated files, through
// secret management systems, or as environment variables.
//
// There is no default path for age keys. Instead, they should be stored at
// application-specific paths. The CLI supports files where private keys are
// listed one per line, ignoring empty lines and lines starting with "#". These
// files can be parsed with ParseIdentities.
//
// When integrating age into a new system, it's recommended that you only
// support X25519 keys, and not SSH keys. The latter are supported for manual
// encryption operations. If you need to tie into existing key management
// infrastructure, you might want to consider implementing your own Recipient
// and Identity.
//
// # Backwards compatibility
//
// Files encrypted with a stable version (not alpha, beta, or release candidate)
// of age, or with any v1.0.0 beta or release candidate, will decrypt with any
// later versions of the v1 API. This might change in v2, in which case v1 will
// be maintained with security fixes for compatibility with older files.
//
// If decrypting an older file poses a security risk, doing so might require an
// explicit opt-in in the API.
