NAME

       ekey-setkey - Entropy Key Long Term Key programmer

SYNOPSIS

       ekey-setkey [-s SerialNumber] [-m MasterKey] path

DESCRIPTION

       ekey-setkey  is  a  low  level  tool which sets the long-term key of an
       Entropy Key using its Master Key. The keyring is updated with  the  new
       session key. Any running ekeyd will not be updated with the new key and
       may interfere with the re-keying process.  Users may use the ekey-rekey
       tool  instead  as  this  performs  the  relevant ekeydctl operations to
       ensure any running ekeyd is updated apropriately.

OPTIONS

       -s     Specifies the serial number of the key to re-key.

       -m     Specifies the Master Key of the device

       path   Specifies which device node to use to access the Entropy Key.
