NAME

       amaespipe - wrapper program for aespipe

SYNOPSIS

       amaespipe

DESCRIPTION

       amaespipe requires aespipe, uuencode and gpg to work. Aespipe is
       available from : http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net

       amaespipe will search for the aespipe program in the following
       directories: /usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin.

       amaespipe is called by amcrypt for Amanda data encryption.

       amaespipe is based on aespipeĀ“s bzaespipe program. It calls aespipe to
       encrypt data using AES256 as the encryption and SHA256 as the hash
       function. GPG key should be stored in $AMANDA_HOME/.gnupg/am_key.gpg.
       amaespipe reads passphrase from file descriptor 3. During decryption,
       amaespipe autodects encryption type and hash function from the
       encrypted image.
