Age-PHP: a PHP implementation of age encryption (post-quantum)

What it does

PHP implementation of age . Supports post-quantum cryptography. The author pronounces it [aɡe̞] with a hard g , like GIF, and it's always spelled lowercase. composer require soatok/age Usage We ecommend using Hybrid ML-KEM-768 + X25519 for identities and recipients. <?php use Soatok \ Age \ Age ; use Soatok \ Age \ Hybrid \ Mlkem768X25519 \{ HybridIdentity , HybridRecipient }; // Generate a new identity for Alice: $ alice = HybridIdentity:: generate (); // You can use HybridRecipient::fromString(/* age public key goes here */); to load a public key // For a runnable example, we generate Bob's on-the-fly: $ bobSecret = HybridIdentity:: generate (); $ bob = $ bobSecret -> getRecipient (); //…from github.com

  NextDNS Adds "Bypass Age Verification"2025 · ▲537

  We just shipped a new feature in NextDNS: Bypass Age Verification. More and more sites (especially adult ones) are now forcing users to upload IDs or selfies to continue. We think that’s a terrible idea: handing over government documents to random sites is a huge privacy risk. This new setting workarounds those verification flows via DNS tricks. It’s available today to all users, including free accounts. We’re curious how the HN community feels about this. Is it the right way to protect privacy online, or will it just provoke regulators to push harder? https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nextdns.io

  Anonymous age verification with passkey-powered encryptionAug 2026 · loginwithone.com · ▲45

  This project has been kicking around in my head since I first heard about the webauthn PRF extension in early 2024. I've slowly chipped away at it since, and finally got things to a shareable state over the summer thanks to a very fun parental leave. Headed back to work tomorrow, so I figure there's no time like the present. tldr: A client-held encryption key derived during passkey authentication encrypts all sensitive user data prior to persistence so that only the user is able to decrypt and reuse that data on their device. This allows short-lived, privacy-preserving age proofs to be…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https:&#x2F;&#x2F;text.blogosphere.app&#x2F; Non-minimal: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blogosphere.app&#x2F; If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
