We also have LUKS2 for disk encryption on Linux, and [rclone](https://rclone.org/crypt/) for cross-platform data encryption & syncing.

[Sops](https://github.com/getsops/sops/tree/main) can be used for file encryption too, if you prefer

using a Cloud provider for key management.

## Asymmetric Encryption
|
||||
|
||||
Both age, Sops & GnuPG provide asymmetric encryption, which is useful for encrypting files for a specific user.
|
||||
|
||||
For morden use, age is recommended, as it use [AEAD encryption function - ChaCha20-Poly1305][age Format v1],
|
||||
If you do not want to manage the keys by yourself, Sops is recommended, as it use KMS for key management.
|
||||
|
||||
## Symmetric Encryption
|
||||
|
||||
Both age & GnuPG provide symmetric encryption, which is useful for encrypting files for a specific user.
|
||||
|
||||
As described in [age Format v1][age Format v1], age use scrypt to encrypt and decrypt the file key with a provided passphrase,
|
||||
which is more secure than GnuPG's symmetric encryption.
