AMAESPIPE(8)AMAESPIPE(8)NAMEamaespipe - wrapper program for aespipe
SYNOPSISamaespipeDESCRIPTIONamaespipe requires aespipe, uuencode and gpg to work. Aespipe is
available from http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net
amaespipe will search for the aespipe program in the following
directories: /usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin.
amaespipe is called by amcrypt for Amanda data encryption.
amaespipe is based on aespipe's bzaespipe program. It calls aespipe to
encrypt data using AES256 as the encryption and SHA256 as the hash
function. GPG key should be stored in $AMANDA_HOME/.gnupg/am_key.gpg.
amaespipe reads passphrase from file descriptor 3. During decryption,
amaespipe autodects encryption type and hash function from the
encrypted image.
