loop-aes-keygen(1)
Create loop-AES keys
SYNOPSIS
loop-aes-keygen
[
options
]
keyfile
DESCRIPTION
Creates keys for loop-AES loopback encryption.
OPTIONS
- -v <1|2|3>
-
Key format (Default: 3).
- -c cipher
-
Encrypt using GnuPG cipher
cipher
- -u id
-
Encrypt using GnuPG pubkey
id
. Can be given more than once
(Default: Encrypt symmetrically with passphrase)
- -s device
-
Override random source (Default: /dev/random).
Don't use this option unless you know what you are doing.
A bad source can silently create useless and trivially crackable keys.
On the other hand, a known good source faster than /dev/random (eg. good
hardware RNG) can significantly speed up the key creation.
EXAMPLES
- Create key
-
$
loop-aes-keygen key.gpg
- Create key for multiple users
-
$
loop-aes-keygen -u user1@$HOSTNAME -u "User 2" key.gpg
- Create blowfish encrypted key in loop-AES v2.x format
-
$
loop-aes-keygen -c BLOWFISH -v2 key.gpg
