    <title>Description</title>

    <para>The <filename>/etc/crypttab</filename> file describes
    encrypted block devices that are set up during system boot.</para>

    <para>Empty lines and lines starting with the <literal>#</literal>
    character are ignored. Each of the remaining lines describes one
    encrypted block device. Fields are delimited by white space.</para>

    <para>Each line is in the form<programlisting><replaceable>volume-name</replaceable> <replaceable>encrypted-device</replaceable> <replaceable>key-file</replaceable> <replaceable>options</replaceable></programlisting>
    The first two fields are mandatory, the remaining two are
    optional.</para>

    <para>Setting up encrypted block devices using this file supports four encryption modes: LUKS, TrueCrypt,
    BitLocker and plain. See <citerefentry
    project='die-net'><refentrytitle>cryptsetup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
    more information about each mode. When no mode is specified in the options field and the block device
    contains a LUKS signature, it is opened as a LUKS device; otherwise, it is assumed to be in raw dm-crypt
    (plain mode) format.</para>

    <para>The four fields of <filename>/etc/crypttab</filename> are defined as follows:</para>

    <orderedlist>

      <listitem><para>The first field contains the name of the resulting volume with decrypted data; its
      block device is set up below <filename>/dev/mapper/</filename>.</para></listitem>

      <listitem><para>The second field contains a path to the underlying block
      device or file, or a specification of a block device via
      <literal>UUID=</literal> followed by the UUID.</para></listitem>

      <listitem><para>The third field specifies an absolute path to a file with the encryption
      key. Optionally, the path may be followed by <literal>:</literal> and an
      <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> style device specification (e.g. starting with
      <literal>LABEL=</literal> or similar); in which case the path is taken relative to the specified
      device's file system root. If the field is not present or is <literal>none</literal> or
      <literal>-</literal>, a key file named after the volume to unlock (i.e. the first column of the line),
      suffixed with <filename>.key</filename> is automatically loaded from the
      <filename>/etc/cryptsetup-keys.d/</filename> and <filename>/run/cryptsetup-keys.d/</filename>
      directories, if present. Otherwise, the password has to be manually entered during system boot. For
      swap encryption, <filename>/dev/urandom</filename> may be used as key file, resulting in a randomized
      key.</para>

      <para>If the specified key file path refers to an <constant>AF_UNIX</constant> stream socket in the
      file system, the key is acquired by connecting to the socket and reading it from the connection. This
      allows the implementation of a service to provide key information dynamically, at the moment when it is
      needed. For details see below.</para></listitem>

      <listitem><para>The fourth field, if present, is a comma-delimited list of options. The supported
      options are listed below.</para></listitem>
    </orderedlist>
  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Key Acquisition</title>

    <para>Six different mechanisms for acquiring the decryption key or passphrase unlocking the encrypted
    volume are supported. Specifically:</para>

    <orderedlist>

      <listitem><para>Most prominently, the user may be queried interactively during volume activation
      (i.e. typically at boot), asking them to type in the necessary passphrases.</para></listitem>

      <listitem><para>The (unencrypted) key may be read from a file on disk, possibly on removable media. The third field
      of each line encodes the location, for details see above.</para></listitem>

      <listitem><para>The (unencrypted) key may be requested from another service, by specifying an
      <constant>AF_UNIX</constant> file system socket in place of a key file in the third field. For details
      see above and below.</para></listitem>

      <listitem><para>The key may be acquired via a PKCS#11 compatible hardware security token or
      smartcard. In this case a saved key used in unlock process is stored on disk/removable media, acquired via
      <constant>AF_UNIX</constant>, or stored in the LUKS2 JSON token metadata header. For RSA, the saved key
      is an encrypted volume key. The encrypted volume key is then decrypted by the PKCS#11 token with an RSA
      private key stored on it, and used to unlock the encrypted volume. For elliptic-curve (EC) cryptography,
      the saved key is the public key generated in enrollment process. The public key is then used to derive
      a shared secret with a private key stored in the PKCS#11 token. The derived shared secret is then used

        generated on the host and loaded into the TPM2 chip where it is encrypted with an asymmetric
        "primary" key pair derived from the TPM2's internal "seed" key. Neither the seed key nor the primary
        key are permitted to ever leave the TPM2 chip  however, the now encrypted randomized key may. It is
        saved in the LUKS2 volume JSON token header. When unlocking the encrypted volume, the primary key
        pair is generated on the TPM2 chip again (which works as long as the chip's seed key is correctly
        maintained by the TPM2 chip), which is then used to decrypt (on the TPM2 chip) the encrypted key from
        the LUKS2 volume JSON token header saved there during enrollment. The resulting decrypted key is then
        used to unlock the volume. When the randomized key is encrypted the current values of the selected
        PCRs (see below) are included in the operation, so that different PCR state results in different
        encrypted keys and the decrypted key can only be recovered if the same PCR state is

      <title>Yubikey-based PKCS#11 Volume Unlocking Example</title>

      <para>The PKCS#11 logic allows hooking up any compatible security token that is capable of storing RSA
      or EC cryptographic keys for unlocking an encrypted volume. Here's an example how to set up a Yubikey
      security token for this purpose on a LUKS2 volume, using <citerefentry
      project='debian'><refentrytitle>ykmap</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> from the
      yubikey-manager project to initialize the token and
      <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-cryptenroll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
      to add it in the LUKS2 volume:</para>

      <para>A few notes on the above:</para>

      <itemizedlist>
        <listitem><para>We use RSA2048, which is the longest key size current Yubikeys support</para></listitem>
        <listitem><para>We use Yubikey key slot 9d, since that's apparently the keyslot to use for decryption purposes,

      <title>FIDO2 Volume Unlocking Example</title>

      <para>The FIDO2 logic allows using any compatible FIDO2 security token that implements the
      <literal>hmac-secret</literal> extension for unlocking an encrypted volume. Here's an example how to
      set up a FIDO2 security token for this purpose for a LUKS2 volume, using
      <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-cryptenroll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>:</para>

      <title>TPM2 Volume Unlocking Example</title>

      <para>The TPM2 logic allows using any TPM2 chip supported by the Linux kernel for unlocking an
      encrypted volume. Here's an example how to set up a TPM2 chip for this purpose for a LUKS2 volume,
      using
      <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-cryptenroll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>:</para>
