## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

age-plugin-se is an age plugin that binds age identities to Apple's Secure Enclave, giving age users a way to decrypt files with device-bound keys and macOS biometric or passcode access control.

### Projektgeschichte

The project was created by Remko Troncon in January 2023 and is implemented as a plugin for the age encryption ecosystem. Its README presents the tool as a Secure Enclave bridge for age, with examples using `age-plugin-se keygen`, age recipients, and normal `age --decrypt -i` workflows.

Early public releases in 2023 were marked as prereleases. Version 0.1.0 followed in April 2024, and later releases added packaging and compatibility work. By the 0.2.x line in December 2025, the README also documented conversion from `age1se` recipients to age plugin-tag recipients, reflecting age's broader plugin-recipient evolution.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

Official installation instructions lead with Homebrew and prebuilt binaries, with Alpine packages also published from the upstream release page. The supplied package metadata shows the tool packaged in Homebrew, MacPorts, and Nix, which fits its niche: a macOS-first security utility that package managers make easy to install on developer machines.

### Wie es verwendet wird

The core workflow is to generate an identity with `age-plugin-se keygen`, encrypt to the printed public recipient using `age`, and decrypt on the matching Secure Enclave machine by passing the identity file to age. The README emphasizes that the private key is bound to the device and recommends encrypting long-term data to a backup key as well.

The README also documents use with Passage, the file-based password manager built around age, so users can unlock password-store entries with Touch ID while retaining an ordinary age backup identity.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

For package nerds, age-plugin-se is interesting because it is a small plugin that turns Apple's hardware-backed key storage into a Unix-style age recipient. It is also a good example of the age plugin model spreading beyond software-only key files into platform security hardware.

### Zeitleiste

- 2023: GitHub repository created.
- 2023: First prerelease builds published.
- 2024: v0.1.0 released.
- 2025: v0.2.x releases published with the project still focused on Secure Enclave age identities.

### Related projects

- age provides the file-encryption tool and plugin mechanism.
- Passage is documented by the upstream README as a password-manager use case.
- age-plugin-yubikey is a sibling hardware-backed age plugin for PIV tokens.
