.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility is used to configure encryption on GEOM providers.
.Pp
The following is a list of the most important features:
.Pp
.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
.It
Utilizes the
.Xr crypto 9
framework, so when there is crypto hardware available,
.Nm
will make use of it automatically.
.It
Supports many cryptographic algorithms (currently
.Nm AES-XTS ,
.Nm AES-CBC ,
.Nm Blowfish-CBC ,
.Nm Camellia-CBC
and
.Nm 3DES-CBC ) .
.It
Can optionally perform data authentication (integrity verification) utilizing
one of the following algorithms:
.Nm HMAC/MD5 ,
.Nm HMAC/SHA1 ,
.Nm HMAC/RIPEMD160 ,
.Nm HMAC/SHA256 ,
.Nm HMAC/SHA384
or
.Nm HMAC/SHA512 .
.It
Can create a User Key from up to two, piecewise components: a passphrase
entered via prompt or read from one or more passfiles; a keyfile read from
one or more files.
.It
Allows encryption of the root partition.
The user will be asked for the
passphrase before the root file system is mounted.
.It
Strengthens the passphrase component of the User Key with:
.Rs
.%A B. Kaliski
.%T "PKCS #5: Password-Based Cryptography Specification, Version 2.0."
.%R RFC
.%N 2898
.Re
.It
Allows the use of two independent User Keys (e.g., a
.Qq "user key"
and a
.Qq "company key" ) .
.It
It is fast -
.Nm
performs simple sector-to-sector encryption.
.It
Allows the encrypted Master Key to be backed up and restored,
so that if a user has to quickly destroy key material,
it is possible to get the data back by restoring keys from
backup.
.It
Providers can be configured to automatically detach on last close
(so users do not have to remember to detach providers after unmounting
the file systems).
.It
Allows attaching a provider with a random, one-time Master Key -
useful for swap partitions and temporary file systems.
.It
Allows verification of data integrity (data authentication).
.It
Allows suspending and resuming encrypted devices.
.El
.Pp
The first argument to
.Nm
indicates an action to be performed:
.Bl -tag -width ".Cm configure"
.It Cm init
Initialize the provider which needs to be encrypted.
Here you can set up the cryptographic algorithm to use, Data Key length,
etc.
The last sector of the provider is used to store metadata.
The
.Cm init
subcommand also automatically writes metadata backups to
.Pa /var/backups/<prov>.eli
file.
The metadata can be recovered with the
.Cm restore
subcommand described below.
.Pp
Additional options include:
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl J Ar newpassfile"
.It Fl a Ar aalgo
Enable data integrity verification (authentication) using the given algorithm.
This will reduce the size of storage available and also reduce speed.
For example, when using 4096 bytes sector and
.Nm HMAC/SHA256
algorithm, 89% of the original provider storage will be available for use.
Currently supported algorithms are:
.Nm HMAC/MD5 ,
.Nm HMAC/SHA1 ,
.Nm HMAC/RIPEMD160 ,
.Nm HMAC/SHA256 ,
.Nm HMAC/SHA384
and
.Nm HMAC/SHA512 .
If the option is not given, there will be no authentication, only encryption.
The recommended algorithm is
.Nm HMAC/SHA256 .
.It Fl b
Ask for the passphrase on boot, before the root partition is mounted.
This makes it possible to use an encrypted root partition.
One will still need bootable unencrypted storage with a
.Pa /boot/
directory, which can be a CD-ROM disc or USB pen-drive, that can be removed
after boot.
.It Fl B Ar backupfile
File name to use for metadata backup instead of the default
.Pa /var/backups/<prov>.eli .
To inhibit backups, you can use
.Pa none
as the
.Ar backupfile .
.It Fl e Ar ealgo
Encryption algorithm to use.
Currently supported algorithms are:
.Nm AES-XTS ,
.Nm AES-CBC ,
.Nm Blowfish-CBC ,
.Nm Camellia-CBC ,
.Nm 3DES-CBC ,
and
.Nm NULL .
The default and recommended algorithm is
.Nm AES-XTS .
.Nm NULL
is unencrypted.
.It Fl i Ar iterations
Number of iterations to use with PKCS#5v2 when processing User Key
passphrase component.
If this option is not specified,
.Nm
will find the number of iterations which is equal to 2 seconds of crypto work.
If 0 is given, PKCS#5v2 will not be used.
PKCS#5v2 processing is performed once, after all parts of the passphrase
component have been read.
.It Fl J Ar newpassfile
Specifies a file which contains the passphrase component of the User Key
(or part of it).
If
.Ar newpassfile
is given as -, standard input will be used.
Only the first line (excluding new-line character) is taken from the given file.
This argument can be specified multiple times, which has the effect of
reassembling a single passphrase split across multiple files.
Cannot be combined with the
.Fl P
option.
.It Fl K Ar newkeyfile
Specifies a file which contains the keyfile component of the User Key
(or part of it).
If
.Ar newkeyfile
is given as -, standard input will be used.
This argument can be specified multiple times, which has the effect of
reassembling a single keyfile split across multiple keyfile parts.
.It Fl l Ar keylen
Data Key length to use with the given cryptographic algorithm.
If the length is not specified, the selected algorithm uses its
.Em default
key length.

.It Nm 3DES-CBC
.Em 192
.El
.It Fl P
Do not use a passphrase as a component of the User Key.
Cannot be combined with the
.Fl J
option.
.It Fl s Ar sectorsize
Change decrypted provider's sector size.
Increasing the sector size allows increased performance,
because encryption/decryption which requires an initialization vector
is done per sector; fewer sectors means less computational work.
.It Fl V Ar version
Metadata version to use.
This option is helpful when creating a provider that may be used by older
.Nm FreeBSD/GELI
versions.
Consult the
.Sx HISTORY
section to find which metadata version is supported by which FreeBSD version.
Note that using an older version of metadata may limit the number of
features available.
.El
.It Cm attach
Attach the given provider.
The encrypted Master Key will be loaded from the metadata and decrypted
using the given passphrase/keyfile and a new GEOM provider will be created
using the given provider's name with an
.Qq .eli
suffix.
.Pp
Additional options include:
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl j Ar passfile"
.It Fl d
If specified, a decrypted provider will be detached automatically on last close.
This can help with scarce memory so the user does not have to remember to detach the
provider after unmounting the file system.
It only works when the provider was opened for writing, so it will not work if
the file system on the provider is mounted read-only.
Probably a better choice is the
.Fl l
option for the
.Cm detach
subcommand.
.It Fl j Ar passfile
Specifies a file which contains the passphrase component of the User Key
(or part of it).
For more information see the description of the
.Fl J
option for the
.Cm init
subcommand.
.It Fl k Ar keyfile
Specifies a file which contains the keyfile component of the User Key
(or part of it).
For more information see the description of the
.Fl K
option for the
.Cm init
subcommand.
.It Fl p
Do not use a passphrase as a component of the User Key.
Cannot be combined with the
.Fl j
option.
.It Fl r
Attach read-only provider.
It will not be opened for writing.
.El
.It Cm detach
Detach the given providers, which means remove the devfs entry
and clear the Master Key and Data Keys from memory.
.Pp
Additional options include:
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl f"
.It Fl f
Force detach - detach even if the provider is open.
.It Fl l
Mark provider to detach on last close.
If this option is specified, the provider will not be detached
while it is open, but will be automatically detached when it is closed for the
last time even if it was only opened for reading.
.El
.It Cm onetime
Attach the given providers with a random, one-time (ephemeral) Master Key.
The command can be used to encrypt swap partitions or temporary file systems.
.Pp
Additional options include:
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl a Ar sectorsize"
.It Fl a Ar aalgo
Enable data integrity verification (authentication).
For more information, see the description of the
.Cm init
subcommand.
.It Fl e Ar ealgo
Encryption algorithm to use.
For more information, see the description of the
.Cm init
subcommand.
.It Fl d
Detach on last close.
Note: this option is not usable for temporary file systems as the provider will
be detached after creating the file system on it.
It still can (and should be) used for swap partitions.
For more information, see the description of the
.Cm attach
subcommand.
.It Fl l Ar keylen
Data Key length to use with the given cryptographic algorithm.
For more information, see the description of the
.Cm init
subcommand.
.It Fl s Ar sectorsize
Change decrypted provider's sector size.
For more information, see the description of the
.Cm init
subcommand.
.El
.It Cm configure
Change configuration of the given providers.
.Pp
Additional options include:
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl b"
.It Fl b
Set the BOOT flag on the given providers.
For more information, see the description of the
.Cm init
subcommand.
.It Fl B
Remove the BOOT flag from the given providers.
.El
.It Cm setkey
Install a copy of the Master Key into the selected slot, encrypted with
a new User Key.
If the selected slot is populated, replace the existing copy.
A provider has one Master Key, which can be stored in one or both slots,
each encrypted with an independent User Key.
With the
.Cm init
subcommand, only key number 0 is initialized.
The User Key can be changed at any time: for an attached provider,
for a detached provider, or on the backup file.
When a provider is attached, the user does not have to provide
an existing passphrase/keyfile.
.Pp
Additional options include:
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl J Ar newpassfile"
.It Fl i Ar iterations
Number of iterations to use with PKCS#5v2.
If 0 is given, PKCS#5v2 will not be used.
To be able to use this option with the
.Cm setkey
subcommand, only one key has to be defined and this key must be changed.
.It Fl j Ar passfile
Specifies a file which contains the passphrase component of a current User Key
(or part of it).
.It Fl J Ar newpassfile
Specifies a file which contains the passphrase component of the new User Key
(or part of it).
.It Fl k Ar keyfile
Specifies a file which contains the keyfile component of a current User Key
(or part of it).
.It Fl K Ar newkeyfile
Specifies a file which contains the keyfile component of the new User Key
(or part of it).
.It Fl n Ar keyno
Specifies the index number of the Master Key copy to change (could be 0 or 1).
If the provider is attached and no key number is given, the key
used for attaching the provider will be changed.
If the provider is detached (or we are operating on a backup file)
and no key number is given, the first Master Key copy to be successfully
decrypted with the provided User Key passphrase/keyfile will be changed.
.It Fl p
Do not use a passphrase as a component of the current User Key.
Cannot be combined with the
.Fl j
option.
.It Fl P
Do not use a passphrase as a component of the new User Key.
Cannot be combined with the
.Fl J
option.
.El
.It Cm delkey
Destroy (overwrite with random data) the selected Master Key copy.
If one is destroying keys for an attached provider, the provider
will not be detached even if all copies of the Master Key are destroyed.
It can even be rescued with the
.Cm setkey
subcommand because the Master Key is still in memory.
.Pp
Additional options include:
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl a Ar keyno"
.It Fl a
Destroy all copies of the Master Key (does not need
.Fl f
option).
.It Fl f
Force key destruction.
This option is needed to destroy the last copy of the Master Key.
.It Fl n Ar keyno
Specifies the index number of the Master Key copy.
If the provider is attached and no key number is given, the key
used for attaching the provider will be destroyed.
If provider is detached (or we are operating on a backup file) the key number
has to be given.
.El
.It Cm kill
This command should be used only in emergency situations.
It will destroy all copies of the Master Key on a given provider and will
detach it forcibly (if it is attached).
This is absolutely a one-way command - if you do not have a metadata
backup, your data is gone for good.
In case the provider was attached with the
.Fl r
flag, the keys will not be destroyed, only the provider will be detached.
.Pp
Additional options include:
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl a"
.It Fl a
If specified, all currently attached providers will be killed.
.El
.It Cm backup
Backup metadata from the given provider to the given file.
.It Cm restore
Restore metadata from the given file to the given provider.
.Pp
Additional options include:
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl f"
.It Fl f
Metadata contains the size of the provider to ensure that the correct
partition or slice is attached.
If an attempt is made to restore metadata to a provider that has a different
size,
.Nm
will refuse to restore the data unless the
.Fl f
switch is used.
If the partition or slice has been grown, the
.Cm resize
subcommand should be used rather than attempting to relocate the metadata
through
.Cm backup
and
.Cm restore .
.El
.It Cm suspend
Suspend device by waiting for all inflight requests to finish, clearing all
sensitive information (like the Master Key and Data Keys) from kernel memory,
and blocking all further I/O requests until the
.Cm resume
subcommand is executed.
This functionality is useful for laptops: when one wants to suspend a
laptop, one does not want to leave an encrypted device attached.
Instead of closing all files and directories opened from a file system located
on an encrypted device, unmounting the file system, and detaching the device,
the
.Cm suspend
subcommand can be used.
Any access to the encrypted device will be blocked until the Master Key is
reloaded through the
.Cm resume
subcommand.
Thus there is no need to close nor unmount anything.
The
.Cm suspend
subcommand does not work with devices created with the
.Cm onetime
subcommand.
Please note that sensitive data might still be present in memory after
suspending an encrypted device due to the file system cache, etc.
.Pp
Additional options include:
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl a"
.It Fl a
Suspend all
.Nm
devices.
.El
.It Cm resume
Resume previously suspended device.
The caller must ensure that executing this subcommand does not access the
suspended device, leading to a deadlock.
For example suspending a device which contains the file system where the
.Nm
utility is stored is bad idea.
.Pp
Additional options include:
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl j Ar passfile"
.It Fl j Ar passfile
Specifies a file which contains the passphrase component of the User Key
(or part of it).
For more information see the description of the
.Fl J
option for the
.Cm init
subcommand.
.It Fl k Ar keyfile
Specifies a file which contains the keyfile component of the User Key
(or part of it).
For more information see the description of the
.Fl K
option for the
.Cm init
subcommand.
.It Fl p
Do not use a passphrase as a component of the User Key.
Cannot be combined with the
.Fl j
option.
.El
.It Cm resize
Inform
.Nm
that the provider has been resized.
The old metadata block is relocated to the correct position at the end of the
provider and the provider size is updated.
.Pp
Additional options include:
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl s Ar oldsize"
.It Fl s Ar oldsize
The size of the provider before it was resized.
.El
.It Cm version
If no arguments are given, the
.Cm version
subcommand will print the version of
.Nm
userland utility as well as the version of the
.Nm ELI
GEOM class.
.Pp
If GEOM providers are specified, the
.Cm version
subcommand will print metadata version used by each of them.
.It Cm clear
Clear metadata from the given providers.
.Em WARNING :
This will erase with zeros the encrypted Master Key copies stored in the
metadata.
.It Cm dump
Dump metadata stored on the given providers.

.Sh KEY SUMMARY
.Ss Master Key
Upon
.Cm init ,
the
.Nm
utility generates a random Master Key for the provider.
The Master Key never changes during the lifetime of the provider.
Each copy of the provider metadata, active or backed up to a file, can store
up to two, independently-encrypted copies of the Master Key.
.Ss User Key
Each stored copy of the Master Key is encrypted with a User Key, which
is generated by the
.Nm
utility from a passphrase and/or a keyfile.
The
.Nm
utility first reads all parts of the keyfile in the order specified on the
command line, then reads all parts of the stored passphrase in the order
specified on the command line.
If no passphrase parts are specified, the system prompts the user to enter
the passphrase.
The passphrase is optionally strengthened by PKCS#5v2.
The User Key is a digest computed over the concatenated keyfile and passphrase.
.Ss Data Key
During operation, one or more Data Keys are deterministically derived by
the kernel from the Master Key and cached in memory.
The number of Data Keys used by a given provider, and the way they are
derived, depend on the GELI version and whether the provider is configured to
use data authentication.
.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
The following
.Xr sysctl 8
variables can be used to control the behavior of the
.Nm ELI
GEOM class.
The default value is shown next to each variable.
Some variables can also be set in
.Pa /boot/loader.conf .
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Va kern.geom.eli.version
Version number of the
.Nm ELI
GEOM class.
.It Va kern.geom.eli.debug : No 0
Debug level of the
.Nm ELI
GEOM class.
This can be set to a number between 0 and 3 inclusive.
If set to 0, minimal debug information is printed.
If set to 3, the
maximum amount of debug information is printed.
.It Va kern.geom.eli.tries : No 3
Number of times a user is asked for the passphrase.
This is only used for providers which are attached on boot
(before the root file system is mounted).
If set to 0, attaching providers on boot will be disabled.
This variable should be set in
.Pa /boot/loader.conf .
.It Va kern.geom.eli.overwrites : No 5
Specifies how many times the Master Key will be overwritten
with random values when it is destroyed.
After this operation it is filled with zeros.
.It Va kern.geom.eli.visible_passphrase : No 0
If set to 1, the passphrase entered on boot (before the root
file system is mounted) will be visible.
This alternative should be used with caution as the entered
passphrase can be logged and exposed via
.Xr dmesg 8 .
This variable should be set in
.Pa /boot/loader.conf .
.It Va kern.geom.eli.threads : No 0
Specifies how many kernel threads should be used for doing software
cryptography.
Its purpose is to increase performance on SMP systems.
If set to 0, a CPU-pinned thread will be started for every active CPU.
.It Va kern.geom.eli.batch : No 0
When set to 1, can speed-up crypto operations by using batching.
Batching reduces the number of interrupts by responding to a group of
crypto requests with one interrupt.
The crypto card and the driver has to support this feature.
.It Va kern.geom.eli.key_cache_limit : No 8192
Specifies how many Data Keys to cache.
The default limit
(8192 keys) will allow caching of all keys for a 4TB provider with 512 byte
sectors and will take around 1MB of memory.
.It Va kern.geom.eli.key_cache_hits
Reports how many times we were looking up a Data Key and it was already in
cache.
This sysctl is not updated for providers that need fewer Data Keys than
the limit specified in
.Va kern.geom.eli.key_cache_limit .
.It Va kern.geom.eli.key_cache_misses
Reports how many times we were looking up a Data Key and it was not in cache.
This sysctl is not updated for providers that need fewer Data Keys than the limit
specified in
.Va kern.geom.eli.key_cache_limit .
.El
.Sh EXIT STATUS
Exit status is 0 on success, and 1 if the command fails.
.Sh EXAMPLES
Initialize a provider which is going to be encrypted with a
passphrase and random data from a file on the user's pen drive.
Use 4kB sector size.
Attach the provider, create a file system, and mount it.
Do the work.
Unmount the provider and detach it:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
# dd if=/dev/random of=/mnt/pendrive/da2.key bs=64 count=1
# geli init -s 4096 -K /mnt/pendrive/da2.key /dev/da2
Enter new passphrase:
Reenter new passphrase:
# geli attach -k /mnt/pendrive/da2.key /dev/da2
Enter passphrase:
# dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/da2.eli bs=1m
# newfs /dev/da2.eli
# mount /dev/da2.eli /mnt/secret
\&...
# umount /mnt/secret
# geli detach da2.eli
.Ed
.Pp
Create an encrypted provider, but use two User Keys:
one for your employee and one for you as the company's security officer
(so it is not a tragedy if the employee
.Qq accidentally
forgets his passphrase):
.Bd -literal -offset indent
# geli init /dev/da2
Enter new passphrase:	(enter security officer's passphrase)
Reenter new passphrase:
# geli setkey -n 1 /dev/da2
Enter passphrase:	(enter security officer's passphrase)
Enter new passphrase:	(let your employee enter his passphrase ...)
Reenter new passphrase:	(... twice)
.Ed
.Pp
You are the security officer in your company.
Create an encrypted provider for use by the user, but remember that users
forget their passphrases, so backup the Master Key with your own random key:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
# dd if=/dev/random of=/mnt/pendrive/keys/`hostname` bs=64 count=1
# geli init -P -K /mnt/pendrive/keys/`hostname` /dev/ada0s1e
# geli backup /dev/ada0s1e /mnt/pendrive/backups/`hostname`
(use key number 0, so the encrypted Master Key will be re-encrypted by this)
# geli setkey -n 0 -k /mnt/pendrive/keys/`hostname` /dev/ada0s1e
(allow the user to enter his passphrase)
Enter new passphrase:
Reenter new passphrase:
.Ed
.Pp
Encrypted swap partition setup:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
# dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/ada0s1b bs=1m
# geli onetime -d -e 3des ada0s1b
# swapon /dev/ada0s1b.eli
.Ed
.Pp
The example below shows how to configure two providers which will be attached
on boot (before the root file system is mounted).
One of them is using passphrase and three keyfile parts and the other is
using only a keyfile in one part:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
# dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/da0 bs=1m
# dd if=/dev/random of=/boot/keys/da0.key0 bs=32k count=1

.Cm geli
writes the metadata backup by default to the
.Pa /var/backups/<prov>.eli
file.
If the metadata is lost in any way (e.g., by accidental overwrite), it can be restored.
Consider the following situation:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
# geli init /dev/da0
Enter new passphrase:
Reenter new passphrase:

Metadata backup can be found in /var/backups/da0.eli and
can be restored with the following command:

	# geli restore /var/backups/da0.eli /dev/da0

# geli clear /dev/da0
# geli attach /dev/da0
geli: Cannot read metadata from /dev/da0: Invalid argument.
# geli restore /var/backups/da0.eli /dev/da0
# geli attach /dev/da0

If an encrypted file system is extended, it is necessary to relocate and
update the metadata:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
# gpart create -s GPT ada0
# gpart add -s 1g -t freebsd-ufs -i 1 ada0
# geli init -K keyfile -P ada0p1
# gpart resize -s 2g -i 1 ada0
# geli resize -s 1g ada0p1
# geli attach -k keyfile -p ada0p1
.Ed
.Pp
Initialize provider with the passphrase split into two files.
The provider can be attached using those two files or by entering
.Dq foobar
as the passphrase at the
.Nm
prompt:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
# echo foo > da0.pass0
# echo bar > da0.pass1
# geli init -J da0.pass0 -J da0.pass1 da0
# geli attach -j da0.pass0 -j da0.pass1 da0
# geli detach da0
# geli attach da0
Enter passphrase: foobar

Suspend all
.Nm
devices on a laptop, suspend the laptop, then resume devices one by one after
resuming the laptop:

# geli suspend -a

# geli resume -p -k keyfile gpt/secret
# geli resume gpt/private

.Sh ENCRYPTION MODES
.Nm
supports two encryption modes:
.Nm XTS ,
which was standardized as
.Nm IEEE P1619
and
.Nm CBC
with unpredictable IV.
The
.Nm CBC
mode used by
.Nm
is very similar to the mode
.Nm ESSIV .
.Sh DATA AUTHENTICATION
.Nm
can verify data integrity when an authentication algorithm is specified.
When data corruption/modification is detected,
.Nm
will not return any data, but instead will return an error
.Pq Er EINVAL .
The offset and size of the corrupted data will be printed on the console.
It is important to know against which attacks
.Nm
provides protection for your data.
If data is modified in-place or copied from one place on the disk
to another even without modification,
.Nm
should be able to detect such a change.
If an attacker can remember the encrypted data, he can overwrite any future
changes with the data he owns without it being noticed.
In other words
.Nm
will not protect your data against replay attacks.
.Pp
It is recommended to write to the whole provider before first use,
in order to make sure that all sectors and their corresponding
checksums are properly initialized into a consistent state.
One can safely ignore data authentication errors that occur immediately
after the first time a provider is attached and before it is
initialized in this way.
