n-of-m/multisig encryption

[danielschonfeld]

Are there any plans to add the ability to encrypt/decrypt with an n-of-m keys scheme?

Thanks!

That would be great.
Right now you can do this with SOPS https://github.com/mozilla/sops which support age.

This would be a perfect candidate for an age plugin!

Out of curiosity, if you may share, what is your use case for this? Given that whoever encrypts the message still can open it alone (or just keep the content in its plaintext form otherwise), it is hard to see where multisig would be useful.

I tried to implement this as a plugin in https://github.com/olastor/age-plugin-sss . Compared to SOPS, you can also use recursive / more complex splitting structures.

Ooooh I like the --generate-recipient and --generate-identity strategies for turning arbitrary config files into plugin recipients/identities!

Thanks!
