Description

It doesnt look like sops supports shared key based crypto? For example, ansible vault has --ask-vault-pass and --vault-password-file.

Are there plans to implement this? I'd like to use this tool, but do not want to use it with a dependent service; it looks like the closest I can get to that is with PGP keys.
