<title>Description</title>
<para>The <filename>/etc/crypttab</filename> file describes
encrypted block devices that are set up during system boot.</para>
<para>Empty lines and lines starting with the <literal>#</literal>
character are ignored. Each of the remaining lines describes one
encrypted block device. Fields are delimited by white space.</para>
<para>Each line is in the form<programlisting><replaceable>volume-name</replaceable> <replaceable>encrypted-device</replaceable> <replaceable>key-file</replaceable> <replaceable>options</replaceable></programlisting>
The first two fields are mandatory, the remaining two are
optional.</para>
<para>Setting up encrypted block devices using this file supports four encryption modes: LUKS, TrueCrypt,
BitLocker and plain. See <citerefentry
project='die-net'><refentrytitle>cryptsetup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
more information about each mode. When no mode is specified in the options field and the block device
contains a LUKS signature, it is opened as a LUKS device; otherwise, it is assumed to be in raw dm-crypt
(plain mode) format.</para>
<para>The four fields of <filename>/etc/crypttab</filename> are defined as follows:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem><para>The first field contains the name of the resulting volume with decrypted data; its
block device is set up below <filename>/dev/mapper/</filename>.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The second field contains a path to the underlying block
device or file, or a specification of a block device via
<literal>UUID=</literal> followed by the UUID.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The third field specifies an absolute path to a file with the encryption
key. Optionally, the path may be followed by <literal>:</literal> and an
<filename>/etc/fstab</filename> style device specification (e.g. starting with
<literal>LABEL=</literal> or similar); in which case the path is taken relative to the specified
device's file system root. If the field is not present or is <literal>none</literal> or
<literal>-</literal>, a key file named after the volume to unlock (i.e. the first column of the line),
suffixed with <filename>.key</filename> is automatically loaded from the
<filename>/etc/cryptsetup-keys.d/</filename> and <filename>/run/cryptsetup-keys.d/</filename>
directories, if present. Otherwise, the password has to be manually entered during system boot. For
swap encryption, <filename>/dev/urandom</filename> may be used as key file, resulting in a randomized
key.</para>
<para>If the specified key file path refers to an <constant>AF_UNIX</constant> stream socket in the
file system, the key is acquired by connecting to the socket and reading it from the connection. This
allows the implementation of a service to provide key information dynamically, at the moment when it is
needed. For details see below.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The fourth field, if present, is a comma-delimited list of options. The supported
options are listed below.</para></listitem>
</orderedlist>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Key Acquisition</title>
<para>Six different mechanisms for acquiring the decryption key or passphrase unlocking the encrypted
volume are supported. Specifically:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem><para>Most prominently, the user may be queried interactively during volume activation
(i.e. typically at boot), asking them to type in the necessary passphrases.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The (unencrypted) key may be read from a file on disk, possibly on removable media. The third field
of each line encodes the location, for details see above.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The (unencrypted) key may be requested from another service, by specifying an
<constant>AF_UNIX</constant> file system socket in place of a key file in the third field. For details
see above and below.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The key may be acquired via a PKCS#11 compatible hardware security token or
smartcard. In this case a saved key used in unlock process is stored on disk/removable media, acquired via
<constant>AF_UNIX</constant>, or stored in the LUKS2 JSON token metadata header. For RSA, the saved key
is an encrypted volume key. The encrypted volume key is then decrypted by the PKCS#11 token with an RSA
private key stored on it, and used to unlock the encrypted volume. For elliptic-curve (EC) cryptography,
the saved key is the public key generated in enrollment process. The public key is then used to derive
a shared secret with a private key stored in the PKCS#11 token. The derived shared secret is then used
to unlock the volume. Use the <option>pkcs11-uri=</option> option described below to use this mechanism.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Similarly, the key may be acquired via a FIDO2 compatible hardware security token
(which must implement the "hmac-secret" extension). In this case a key generated randomly during
enrollment is stored on disk/removable media, acquired via <constant>AF_UNIX</constant>, or stored in
the LUKS2 JSON token metadata header. The random key is hashed via a keyed hash function (HMAC) on the
FIDO2 token, using a secret key stored on the token that never leaves it. The resulting hash value is
then used as key to unlock the encrypted volume. Use the <option>fido2-device=</option> option
described below to use this mechanism.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Similarly, the key may be acquired via a TPM2 security chip. In this case a (during
enrollment) randomly generated key — encrypted by an asymmetric key derived from the TPM2 chip's seed
key — is stored on disk/removable media, acquired via <constant>AF_UNIX</constant>, or stored in the
LUKS2 JSON token metadata header. Use the <option>tpm2-device=</option> option described below to use
this mechanism.</para></listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>For the latter five mechanisms the source for the key material used for unlocking the volume is
primarily configured in the third field of each <filename>/etc/crypttab</filename> line, but may also
be configured in <filename>/etc/cryptsetup-keys.d/</filename> and
<filename>/run/cryptsetup-keys.d/</filename> (see above) or in the LUKS2 JSON token header (in case of
the latter three). Use the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-cryptenroll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
tool to enroll PKCS#11, FIDO2 and TPM2 devices in LUKS2 volumes.</para>

particular, if the device is used for a mount point, the mount point itself also needs to
have the <option>nofail</option> option, or the boot will fail if the device is not unlocked
successfully. If a keyfile and/or a <option>header</option> are specified, the dependencies on

<para>If specified as <literal>auto</literal> the volume must be of type LUKS2 and must carry PKCS#11

<para>The specified URI can refer directly to a private key stored on a token or alternatively

this case if multiple suitable objects are found the token is refused. The keyfile configured

<para>This option implements the following mechanism: the configured key is hashed via they HMAC
keyed hash function the FIDO2 device implements, keyed by a secret key embedded on the device. The

<para>This option implements the following mechanism: when enrolling a TPM2 device via
<command>systemd-cryptenroll</command> on a LUKS2 volume, a randomized key unlocking the volume is
generated on the host and loaded into the TPM2 chip where it is encrypted with an asymmetric
"primary" key pair derived from the TPM2's internal "seed" key. Neither the seed key nor the primary
key are permitted to ever leave the TPM2 chip — however, the now encrypted randomized key may. It is
saved in the LUKS2 volume JSON token header. When unlocking the encrypted volume, the primary key
pair is generated on the TPM2 chip again (which works as long as the chip's seed key is correctly
maintained by the TPM2 chip), which is then used to decrypt (on the TPM2 chip) the encrypted key from
the LUKS2 volume JSON token header saved there during enrollment. The resulting decrypted key is then
used to unlock the volume. When the randomized key is encrypted the current values of the selected
PCRs (see below) are included in the operation, so that different PCR state results in different
encrypted keys and the decrypted key can only be recovered if the same PCR state is
reproduced.</para>

<programlisting><constant>NUL</constant> <replaceable>RANDOM</replaceable> /cryptsetup/ <replaceable>VOLUME</replaceable></programlisting>
<para>In other words: a <constant>NUL</constant> byte (as required for abstract namespace sockets),
followed by a random string (consisting of alphanumeric characters only), followed by the literal
string <literal>/cryptsetup/</literal>, followed by the name of the volume to acquire they key
for. For example, for the volume <literal>myvol</literal>:</para>
