Next - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Name - -amcrypt-ossl  crypt program for Amanda symmetric data encryption using OpenSSL - -Synopsis - -amcrypt-ossl [-d] - -DESCRIPTION - -amcrypt-ossl uses OpenSSL to encrypt and decrypt data. OpenSSL is available -from www.openssl.org. OpenSSL offers a wide variety of cipher choices -( amcrypt-ossl defaults to 256-bit AES) and can use hardware cryptographic -accelerators on several platforms. -amcrypt-ossl will search for the OpenSSL program in the following directories: -/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ssl/bin:/usr/local/ssl/bin. - -PASSPHRASE MANAGEMENT - -amcrypt-ossl uses the same pass phrase to encrypt and decrypt data. It is very -important to store and protect the pass phrase properly. Encrypted backup data -can only be recovered with the correct passphrase. -OpenSSL's key derivation routines use a salt to guard against dictionary -attacks on the pass phrase; still it is important to pick a pass phrase that is -hard to guess. The Diceware method (see www.diceware.com) can be used to create -passphrases that are difficult to guess and easy to remember. - -FILES - - - - /var/lib/amanda/.am_passphrase - File containing the pass phrase.
