Rot is a command line (CLI) tool for managing cryptographic values.

Rot makes cryptography easy:

- Generate keys and values using current best encryption

- Version and track your secrets

- Secure secrets among individuals using Shamir Secret Sharing

- Rekey encrypted values to the latest encryption standards

- Share your encrypted values with other users and devices

- Perform one-way encryption for zero-knowledge secrets

- Run commands and scripts with encrypted values injected through environment variables

- Store your encrypted values securely in git with human-readable diffs

- Generate and view X.509 certificates and Certificate Authorities

- Generate and view JWTs

- Generate and verify signatures

- Generate SSH keys and certificates

## Why Rot?

Aside from the infamous [ROT13 Caeser cipher](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROT13), cryptographic keys have a tendency to "rot" rather quickly.  Frequent use of keys inevitably leads to leakage and/or compromise, and the underlying encryption algorithms may not be secure in the future.  Cryptographic material doesn't `age` well in general.
