peroxide-cryptsetup - cli utility for managing cryptsetup disks on Linux

WARNING: alpha quality

Description

peroxs is a command-line utility for managing cryptsetup disks on Linux. More precisely, it helps you to manage key enrollment for devices and add backup keys in case your operational keys get lost. It only supports LUKS devices currently.

Usage

Documentation is currently a bit light, but this will get you started:

• cargo install peroxide-cryptsetup

Alternatively, clone this repository and build from source:

• cargo build
• now target/debug/peroxs will be simply referred to as peroxs

Enrolling your first disk

Enrollment is the term used throughout for adding a new keyslot to either an existing or new LUKS disk.

Pick a block device (disk). We will use /dev/your-disk as an example.

• cd /secure/key/storage/location
• peroxs init backup (create the db)
• peroxs enroll keyfile secret.key /dev/your-disk --name=awesome --iteration-ms=1000

The above assumes that /dev/your-disk has already been cryptsetup luksFormated. If you need to format an entirely new device:

• peroxs enroll keyfile secret.key new --cipher aes-xts-plain --hash sha256 --key-bits 256 /dev/your-disk --name=awesome --iteration-ms=1000

For more information on the values of --cipher, --hash and --key-bits see man cryptsetup.

Open a device that is already enrolled

• cd /location/of/peroxs/db
• peroxs open /dev/your-disk (alternative, can use uuid of disk)

Register an existing keyfile or passphrase for a disk

• peroxs register keyfile secret.key /dev/your-disk --name=awesome

List disks in the database and their status

• peroxs list --all
