NAME¶
bscrypto - Bareos's 'SCSI Crypto'
SYNOPSIS¶
bscrypto [options] device_name
DESCRIPTION¶
The purpose of bscrypto is to be a standalone tool for manipulating the SCSI Crypto framework using the SCSI SPIN/SPOUT security pages. This tool allows you to perform standalone crypto operations that are normally performed by the scsicrypto-sd.so plugin in the storage daemon.
You also need bscrypto tool to to the initial setup of things like Key Encryption Keys in the bareos-sd.conf and bareos-dir.conf
OPTIONS¶
A summary of options is included below.
- -?
- Show version and usage of program.
- -b
- Perform base64 encoding of keydata. Any binary data is base64 encoded and as such converted to normal ASCII.
- -c
- Clear encryption key. Clear the encryption key currently loaded on the drive by issueing a SCSI SPOUT clear key page.
- -D <cachefile>
- Dump the content of given cachefile
- -d <nn>
- Set debug level to <nn>
- -e
- Show drive encryption status. Request the current drive encryption status by issueing a SCSI SPIN cmd requesting the SPIN_DATA_ENCR_STATUS_PAGE.
- -g <keyfile>
- Generate new encryption passphrase in keyfile. A passphrase is generated from random data and is ASCII only.
- -k <keyfile>
- Show content of keyfile. If the data is wrapped using a so called Key Encryption Key you also need the -b flag to base64 decode the data that is wrapped using the algorithm described in RFC3394 which gives binary output.
- -p <cachefile>
- Populate given cachefile with crypto keys
- -r <cachefile>
- Reset expiry time for entries of given cachefile
- -s <keyfile>
- Set encryption key loaded from keyfile. Load the new key from the keyfile and load it into the drives crypto buffer using a SCSI SPOUT command.
- -v
- Show volume encryption status. Request the current volume encryption status by issueing a SCSI SPIN cmd requesting the SPIN_NEXT_BLOCK_ENCR_STATUS_PAGE.
- -w <keyfile>
- Wrap/Unwrap the key using RFC3394 aes-(un)wrap using the key in keyfile as a Key Encryption Key After wrapping the data using this option the output is binary so you may want to use the -b flag to base64 encode this data.
