loop-aes-keygen1
Create loop-aes keys
Usage
loop-aes-keygen [options]
keyfile
Overview
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 |
