+    <title>Description</title>
+
+    <para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> is a service responsible for setting up encrypted
+    block devices. It is instantiated for each device that requires decryption for access.</para>
+
+    <para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> instances are part of the
+    <filename>system-systemd\x2dcryptsetup.slice</filename> slice, which is destroyed only very late in the
+    shutdown procedure. This allows the encrypted devices to remain up until filesystems have been unmounted.
+    </para>
+
+    <para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> will ask
+    for hard disk passwords via the <ulink
+    url="https://systemd.io/PASSWORD_AGENTS/">password agent logic</ulink>, in
+    order to query the user for the password using the right mechanism at boot
+    and during runtime.</para>
+
+    <para>At early boot and when the system manager configuration is reloaded, <filename>/etc/crypttab</filename> is
+    translated into <filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> units by
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-cryptsetup-generator</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+    <para>In order to unlock a volume a password or binary key is
+    required. <filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> tries to acquire a suitable password or binary
+    key via the following mechanisms, tried in order:</para>
+
+    <orderedlist>
+      <listitem><para>If a key file is explicitly configured (via the third column in
+      <filename>/etc/crypttab</filename>), a key read from it is used. If a PKCS#11 token, FIDO2 token or
+      TPM2 device is configured (using the <varname>pkcs11-uri=</varname>, <varname>fido2-device=</varname>,
+      <varname>tpm2-device=</varname> options) the key is decrypted before use.</para></listitem>
+
+      <listitem><para>If no key file is configured explicitly this way, a key file is automatically loaded
+      from <filename>/etc/cryptsetup-keys.d/<replaceable>volume</replaceable>.key</filename> and
+      <filename>/run/cryptsetup-keys.d/<replaceable>volume</replaceable>.key</filename>, if present. Here
+      too, if a PKCS#11/FIDO2/TPM2 token/device is configured, any key found this way is decrypted before
+      use.</para></listitem>
+
+      <listitem><para>If the <varname>try-empty-password</varname> option is specified it is then attempted
+      to unlock the volume with an empty password.</para></listitem>
+
+      <listitem><para>The kernel keyring is then checked for a suitable cached password from previous
+      attempts.</para></listitem>
+
+      <listitem><para>Finally, the user is queried for a password, possibly multiple times, unless
+      the <varname>headless</varname> option is set.</para></listitem>
+    </orderedlist>
+
+    <para>If no suitable key may be acquired via any of the mechanisms describes above, volume activation fails.</para>
