34 requires <emphasis remap='B'>aespipe</emphasis>, <emphasis remap='B'>uuencode</emphasis> and <emphasis remap='B'>gpg</emphasis> to work.
35 Aespipe is available from <ulink url="http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net"/></para>
36 <para>&amaespipe; will search for the aespipe program in the following directories:
37 /usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin. </para>
38 <para>&amaespipe; is called by &amcrypt; for Amanda data encryption.</para>
39 <para>&amaespipe; is based on aespipe's bzaespipe program.
40 It calls aespipe to encrypt data using AES256 as the encryption and SHA256 as the
41 hash function. GPG key should be stored in $AMANDA_HOME/.gnupg/am_key.gpg.
42 &amaespipe; reads passphrase from file descriptor 3.
43 During decryption, &amaespipe; autodects encryption type and hash function from
44 the encrypted image.</para>
