age
A simple, modern and secure encryption tool (and Go library)
age is a security-oriented tool and library by Filo Sottile. age is a simple, modern, secure encryption utility (and Go library) that emphasizes minimal configuration and strong defaults. It provides small explicit keys, no complex options, and is designed for UNIX-style composability; you can pipe into it, integrate it into scripts, etc. It supports a clearly defined format and promotes interoperability across implementations (there are Rust, TypeScript, etc). The project is well-suited for personal data encryption, backup use-cases, scripting encryption workflows, and embedding encryption in tools. Because of its design philosophy, it avoids the bloat of many older encryption utilities while maintaining strong cryptographic hygiene. It’s especially useful for developers or system administrators who want to adopt encryption without learning a multitude of options. -

GopenPGP V3
A high-level OpenPGP library
GopenPGP V3 is a high-level OpenPGP cryptographic library developed by ProtonMail that provides a user-friendly API for common encryption and signing operations in Go, abstracting the complexity of the underlying OpenPGP standards and golang crypto primitives. This library lets developers perform key generation, message encryption and decryption, digital signing, and signature verification with straightforward functions that hide much of the boilerplate and nuance typically required when working directly with OpenPGP implementations. Built on top of a forked version of the Go crypto library, gopenpgp supports current OpenPGP RFC standards and includes examples for working with password-based encryption and PGP keys, as well as detached and inline signatures. Because it’s designed for broad use, the library also targets go-mobile compatibility, meaning it can support mobile app use cases alongside server and desktop tooling. -

Hemmelig
Keep your sensitive information out of chat logs, emails, and more
Hemmelig is a privacy-focused secret sharing service that lets users securely share sensitive information like passwords, API keys, private notes, or confidential links using client-side encryption so that the server never sees unencrypted data. It operates with a zero-knowledge architecture: all encryption and decryption happen in the browser, and only encrypted blobs are transmitted to and stored on the server, reducing the risk of leaks or unauthorized access. Users can generate shareable links with optional expiration times, view limits, and password protection to tailor how and when secrets are consumed, and links automatically expire or self-destruct after use to prevent reuse or exposure. The platform supports easy deployment via Docker or hosted options, making it practical for individuals, teams, or enterprises that want to safeguard secrets without relying on third-party storage. -

shadowsocks-libev
Bug-fix-only libev port of shadowsocks
Shadowsocks-libev is a lightweight secured SOCKS5 proxy for embedded devices and low-end boxes. Shadowsocks-libev is written in pure C and depends on libev. It's designed to be a lightweight implementation of shadowsocks protocol, in order to keep the resource usage as low as possible. Snap is the recommended way to install the latest binaries. You can build shadowsocks-libev and all its dependencies by script. The latest shadowsocks-libev has provided a redir mode. You can configure your Linux-based box or router to proxy all TCP traffic transparently, which is handy if you use an OpenWRT-powered router. Although shadowsocks-libev can handle thousands of concurrent connections nicely, we still recommend setting up your server's firewall rules to limit connections from each user. We strongly encourage you to install shadowsocks-libev from jessie-backports-sloppy. -

PasswordBox
A console-mode program that will keep all your passwords safe
PasswordBox is a console-mode program that will keep all your passwords safe, in an encrypted database protected by a master password. PasswordBox can also be used to generate secure (random) passwords. This program is written by Mateusz Viste, and uses the AES implementation of Chris Brown to handle all encryption/decryption processes. PasswordBox is available for the following operating systems: DOS, Windows, Linux. Remember, that if you forget your master password, you will have no way to recover the database content. Usage: pbox [--help] [--dump] --help displays a help screen (any unsupported parameter will display it, too) --dump lists all the data of your encrypted database onscreen -
