loop-aes-keygen(1)

NAME
loop-aes-keygen

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
