FAQ
What is AgePony's primary function?
AgePony is a mobile application designed for modern file encryption and signing, utilizing the age protocol. It allows users to encrypt any file for specific recipients, sign files to prove authenticity, and manage sensitive data locally on their device.
Does AgePony use post-quantum cryptography?
Yes, AgePony incorporates post-quantum cryptography with hybrid ML-KEM-768 + X25519 recipients. This ensures that files encrypted today remain private even if current encryption standards become vulnerable to quantum computers in the future.
Can AgePony encrypt files of any size?
Yes, AgePony supports encrypting, decrypting, signing, and verifying files of any size. The application handles large files efficiently by not holding them entirely in memory, treating a 1 GB video similarly to a text file.
How does AgePony handle file signing?
AgePony allows you to prove a file's origin and integrity. You can sign files for detached verification or encrypt and sign simultaneously. Signatures are automatically verified upon decryption, ensuring the file has not been altered.
What are the security features of AgePony?
AgePony offers robust security, including biometric (Face ID/Touch ID) or PIN/password app locking, with configurable auto-lock timers. It also features an optional duress password that can silently wipe the vault if compromised.
Does AgePony have ads?
No, AgePony is ad-free. The application is built with a local-first, zero-backend approach, meaning it does not contain advertisements, telemetry, analytics, or third-party SDKs.
Is AgePony available on other platforms besides iPhone?
Based on the provided data, AgePony is currently supported on iPhone. Information regarding availability on other platforms like Android or desktop is not specified.
How often is AgePony updated?
