icepack - Encrypting File Archiver
icepack combines age encryption, SSH signatures and ZIP files to create encrypted and verifiable archives. Except for the number of files and their approximate size, no metadata is visible.
Installation
Requirements:
- Python 3.8
- age 1.0
- OpenSSH 8.0
Install with pip or pipx:
$ pip install icepack
If pigz or pbzip2 are installed, they will be used for faster compression.
Basic Usage
Initialize the keys
$ icepack init
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): *****
Enter same passphrase again: *****
The keys have been initialized in /home/username/.config/icepack
Make sure to protect and backup this directory!
Create an archive
$ icepack create $HOME/Documents/ $HOME/my-documents.zip
Documents/Cat Pictures

Signer Management
To extract archives created by other parties, their public keys need to be
added to the list of allowed signers. The signer command supports this.
List allowed signers
$ icepack signer list
ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC... (Your Key)
ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC... (Bob)
Add an allowed signer
$ icepack signer add "ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC..." --alias Alice
$ icepack signer list
ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC... (Your Key)
ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC... (Bob)
ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC... (Alice)
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--alias, -a |
Key alias. |
Remove an allowed signer
$ icepack signer remove Bob
$ icepack signer list
ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC... (Your Key)
ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC... (Alice)
When removing a key, you can specify the key or its alias.
