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.
