   Nofuture Age Web Interface by Victor HCC

   This time it’s for real.   
      
   I have also published on github the source of Nofuture-Age Web Interface,   
   https://github.com/gabrix73/Nofuture-Age.   
      
   You can test it out at https://safecomms.virebent.art.   
      
   This is a web interface for Age.   
      
   Age has been written by FiloSottile https://github.com/FiloSottile/age.   
      
   My idea is to use it alongside mainstream messaging applications for   
   encrypting/decrypting of text messages.   
      
   As long as the session is active you will be able to encrypt text for your   
   interlocutor and decrypt it.   
      
   Once the session is ended, the keys used in the previous session are lost   
   making it impossible to retrieve the plaintexts.   
      
   The purpose of this approach is not to leave any data after a conversation.   
      
   Age itself it's designed to be simple and secure, using modern cryptographic   
   primitives.   
      
   In summary, Age mainly adopts the following protocols and algorithms:   
      
   X25519: For the arrangement of asymmetric keys.   
   Age uses X25519 to determine a shared key between sender and recipient based   
   on the public/private key when encrypting for a specific recipient.   
      
   ChaCha20-Poly1305: For authenticated symmetric encryption.   
   Once the shared key is derived (via X25519), Age uses ChaCha20 to encrypt data   
   and Poly1305 to verify integrity and authenticity, thus providing the AEAD   
   (Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data) mode.   
      
   Age is designed primarily for encryption and decryption without built-in   
   mechanisms for digital signatures and verification of the sender's identity.   
      
   Here’s why signing and verifying aren’t required within Age’s core   
   design.   
      
   Age provides a straightforward command-line interface for encryption and   
   decryption without the complexities of manual key derivation and management.   
      
   I hope you find it useful.   
      
   Best regards
