NAME

6       amaespipe - wrapper program for aespipe
7

SYNOPSIS

9       amaespipe
10

DESCRIPTION

12       amaespipe requires aespipe, uuencode and gpg to work. Aespipe is
13       available from http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net
14
15       amaespipe will search for the aespipe program in the following
16       directories: /usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin.
17
18       amaespipe is called by amcrypt for Amanda data encryption.
19
20       amaespipe is based on aespipe's bzaespipe program. It calls aespipe to
21       encrypt data using AES256 as the encryption and SHA256 as the hash
22       function. GPG key should be stored in $AMANDA_HOME/.gnupg/am_key.gpg.
23       amaespipe reads passphrase from file descriptor 3. During decryption,
24       amaespipe autodects encryption type and hash function from the
25       encrypted image.
