== NAME

cryptsetup-ssh - manage LUKS2 SSH token

== SYNOPSIS

*cryptsetup-ssh <action> [<options>] <action args>*

== DESCRIPTION

Experimental cryptsetup plugin for unlocking LUKS2 devices with a token connected to an SSH server.

This plugin currently allows only adding a token to an existing keyslot.
See *cryptsetup*(8) for instructions on how to remove, import or export the token.

=== Add operation

*add <options> <device>*

Adds the SSH token to *<device>*.

The specified SSH server must contain a key file on the specified path with a passphrase for an existing keyslot on the device.
Provided credentials will be used by cryptsetup to get the password when opening the device using the token.

Options --ssh-server, --ssh-user, --ssh-keypath and --ssh-path are required for this operation.
