+The libagentcrypt library allows using the keys in the SSH Agent to
+perform symmetric, authenticated encryption and decryption securely
+without typing passwords. It works with both RSA and ED25519 SSH keys
+including those made available to a remote host by SSH Agent forwarding.
+
+A command line encryption utility 'agentcrypt' is provided.
