    <title>Description</title>

    <para><command>systemd-cryptenroll</command> is a tool for enrolling hardware security tokens and devices
    into a LUKS2 encrypted volume, which may then be used to unlock the volume during boot. Specifically, it
    supports tokens and credentials of the following kind to be enrolled:</para>

    <orderedlist>
      <listitem><para>PKCS#11 security tokens and smartcards that may carry an RSA key pair (e.g. various
      YubiKeys)</para></listitem>

      <listitem><para>FIDO2 security tokens that implement the <literal>hmac-secret</literal> extension (most
      FIDO2 keys, including YubiKeys)</para></listitem>

      <listitem><para>TPM2 security devices</para></listitem>

      <listitem><para>Regular passphrases</para></listitem>

      <listitem><para>Recovery keys. These are similar to regular passphrases, however are randomly generated
      on the computer and thus generally have higher entropy than user-chosen passphrases. Their character
      set has been designed to ensure they are easy to type in, while having high entropy. They may also be
      scanned off screen using QR codes. Recovery keys may be used for unlocking LUKS2 volumes wherever
      passphrases are accepted. They are intended to be used in combination with an enrolled hardware
      security token, as a recovery option when the token is lost.</para></listitem>
    </orderedlist>

    <para>In addition, the tool may be used to enumerate currently enrolled security tokens and wipe a subset
    of them. The latter may be combined with the enrollment operation of a new security token, in order to
    update or replace enrollments.</para>

    <para>The tool supports only LUKS2 volumes, as it stores token meta-information in the LUKS2 JSON token
    area, which is not available in other encryption formats.</para>
  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Limitations</title>

    <para>Note that currently when enrolling a new key of one of the five supported types listed above, it is
    required to first provide a passphrase or recovery key (i.e. one of the latter two key types). For
    example, it's currently not possible to unlock a device with a FIDO2 key in order to enroll a new FIDO2
    key. Instead, in order to enroll a new FIDO2 key, it is necessary to provide an already enrolled regular
    passphrase or recovery key. Thus, if in future key roll-over is desired it's generally recommended to
    combine TPM2, FIDO2, PKCS#11 key enrollment with enrolling a regular passphrase or recovery key.</para>

    <para>Also note that support for enrolling multiple FIDO2 tokens is currently not too useful, as while
    unlocking <command>systemd-cryptsetup</command> cannot identify which token is currently plugged in and
    thus does not know which authentication request to send to the device. This limitation does not apply to
    tokens enrolled via PKCS#11 — because tokens of this type may be identified immediately, before
    authentication.</para>

    <title>Options</title>

    <para>The following options are understood:</para>

    <variablelist>
      <varlistentry>
        <term><option>--password</option></term>

        <listitem><para>Enroll a regular password/passphrase. This command is mostly equivalent to
        <command>cryptsetup luksAddKey</command>, however may be combined with
        <option>--wipe-slot=</option> in one call, see below.</para></listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><option>--recovery-key</option></term>

        <listitem><para>Enroll a recovery key. Recovery keys are mostly identical to passphrases, but are
        computer-generated instead of being chosen by a human, and thus have a guaranteed high entropy. The
        key uses a character set that is easy to type in, and may be scanned off screen via a QR code.
        </para></listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><option>--unlock-key-file=</option><replaceable>PATH</replaceable></term>

        <listitem><para>Use a file instead of a password/passphrase read from stdin to unlock the volume.
        Expects the PATH to the file containing your key to unlock the volume. Currently there is nothing like
        <option>--key-file-offset=</option> or <option>--key-file-size=</option> so this file has to only
        contain the full key.</para></listitem>

        (of which there must be exactly one). The special value <literal>list</literal> may be used to
        enumerate all suitable PKCS#11 tokens currently plugged in. The security token must contain an RSA
        key pair which is used to encrypt the randomly generated key that is used to unlock the LUKS2
        volume. The encrypted key is then stored in the LUKS2 JSON token header area.</para>

        <para>For most applications it should be sufficient to bind against PCR 7 (and possibly PCR 14, if
        shim/MOK is desired), as this includes measurements of the trusted certificates (and possibly hashes)
        that are used to validate all components of the boot process up to and including the OS kernel. In
        order to simplify firmware and OS version updates it's typically not advisable to include PCRs such
        as 0 and 2 in the binding of the enrollment, since the program code they cover should already be
        protected indirectly through the certificates measured into PCR 7. Validation through these
        certificates is typically preferable over validation through direct measurements as it is less
        brittle in context of OS/firmware updates: the measurements will change on every update, but code
        signatures likely will validate against pre-existing certificates.</para></listitem>

        <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-measure</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
        tool. If this this is not specified explicitly a suitable signature file
        <filename>tpm2-pcr-signature.json</filename> is searched for in <filename>/etc/systemd/</filename>,
        <filename>/run/systemd/</filename>, <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/</filename> (in this order) and
        used. If a signature file is specified or found it is used to verify if the volume can be unlocked
        with it given the current PCR state, before the new slot is written to disk. This is intended as
        safety net to ensure that access to a volume is not lost if a public key is enrolled for which no
        valid signature for the current PCR state is available. If the supplied signature does not unlock the
        current PCR state and public key combination, no slot is enrolled and the operation will fail. If no
        signature file is specified or found no such safety verification is done.</para></listitem>

        <listitem><para>Wipes one or more LUKS2 key slots. Takes a comma separated list of numeric slot
        indexes, or the special strings <literal>all</literal> (for wiping all key slots),
        <literal>empty</literal> (for wiping all key slots that are unlocked by an empty passphrase),
        <literal>password</literal> (for wiping all key slots that are unlocked by a traditional passphrase),
        <literal>recovery</literal> (for wiping all key slots that are unlocked by a recovery key),

        <literal>tpm2</literal> (for wiping all key slots that are unlocked by a TPM2 chip), or any
        combination of these strings or numeric indexes, in which case all slots matching either are
        wiped. As safety precaution an operation that wipes all slots without exception (so that the volume
        cannot be unlocked at all anymore, unless the volume key is known) is refused.</para>

        <para>This switch may be used alone, in which case only the requested wipe operation is executed. It
        may also be used in combination with any of the enrollment options listed above, in which case the
        enrollment is completed first, and only when successful the wipe operation executed — and the newly
        added slot is always excluded from the wiping. Combining enrollment and slot wiping may thus be used to
        update existing enrollments:</para>

        <programlisting>systemd-cryptenroll /dev/sda1 --wipe-slot=tpm2 --tpm2-device=auto</programlisting>

        <para>The above command will enroll the TPM2 chip, and then wipe all previously created TPM2
        enrollments on the LUKS2 volume, leaving only the newly created one. Combining wiping and enrollment
        may also be used to replace enrollments of different types, for example for changing from a PKCS#11
        enrollment to a FIDO2 one:</para>

        <programlisting>systemd-cryptenroll /dev/sda1 --wipe-slot=pkcs11 --fido2-device=auto</programlisting>

        <para>Or for replacing an enrolled empty password by TPM2:</para>

        <programlisting>systemd-cryptenroll /dev/sda1 --wipe-slot=empty --tpm2-device=auto</programlisting>
