Public key of the age file encryption format and tool, that is, an X25519 recipient that files are encrypted to. It is a 62-character lowercase Bech32 string with the human-readable part age, so it starts with age1. Post-quantum recipients (age1pq1...) and recipients of age plugins are longer or use other prefixes and are not covered.
