What did you do?

Tried to encrypt a openpgp.packet.PrivateKey and dump it in a PGP armor.

What did you expect to see?

An example on how to do it. I haven't found any way to do it. I would like a pointer in how to export a private key encrypting it with a passphrase. The inverse of openpgp.packet.PrivateKey.Decrypt.

What did you see instead?

No information on how to do it.

From #16664 it seems like encrypting Private keys is not yet implemented so IMO this issue is a feature request for something non-existent right now, thus we should merge it into #16664. What do y'all think?

Per the accepted #44226 proposal and due to lack of maintenance, the golang.org/x/crypto/openpgp package is now frozen and deprecated. No new changes will be accepted except for security fixes. The package will not be removed.

If this is a security issue, please email security@golang.org and we will assess it and provide a fix.

If you're looking for alternatives, consider the crypto/ed25519 package for simple signatures, golang.org/x/mod/sumdb/note for inline signatures, or filippo.io/age for encryption. You can read a summary of OpenPGP issues and alternatives here.

If you are required to interoperate with OpenPGP systems and need a maintained package, we suggest considering one of multiple community forks of golang.org/x/crypto/openpgp. We don't endorse any specific one.
