Cryptsetup provides an interface for configuring encryption on block devices (such as /home or swap partitions), using the Linux kernel device mapper target dm-crypt. It features integrated Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS) support.

This package provides the cryptsetup-ssh(8) utility and an SSH token plugin which can be used to unlock LUKS2 devices using a remote keyfile hosted on a system accessible through SSH. This is currently an *experimental* feature and mostly serves as a demonstration of the plugin interface API.
