.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is used to configure and unconfigure cryptographic disk devices (cgds)
and to maintain the configuration files that are associated with them.
For more information about cryptographic disk devices see
.Xr cgd 4 .
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width configfilexxxx
.It Fl C
Configure all the devices listed in the cgd configuration file.
.It Fl e
2018-09-01 14:46:52 +03:00
Echo the passphrase.
.It Fl f Ar configfile
Specify the configuration file explicitly, rather than using the default
configuration file
.Pa /etc/cgd/cgd.conf .
.It Fl G
Generate a new paramsfile (to stdout) using the values from
.Ar paramsfile
which will generate the same key.
This may need to obtain multiple passphrases.
.It Fl g
2002-10-05 03:47:03 +04:00
Generate a paramsfile (to stdout).
.It Fl i Ar ivmeth
Specify the IV method (default: encblkno1).
.Pp
Setting the IV method is needed only for compatibility with disks
written with a very old version of
.Xr cgd 4
from before
.Nx 5.0 ,
released in 2010; see
.Xr cgd 4
for details.
.It Fl k Ar kgmeth
Specify the key generation method (default: pkcs5_pbkdf2/sha1).
2012-12-05 06:23:20 +04:00
.It Fl l Op Ar cgd
List state of all devices or just the one
.Ar cgd
device.
The verbosity level affects the output.
.It Fl n
Do not actually configure or unconfigure a cryptographic disk
device, but instead report the steps that would be taken.
.It Fl o Ar outfile
When generating a
.Ar paramsfile ,
store it in
.Ar outfile .
If
.Fl o
is not given, any paramsfile content is written to standard output.
.It Fl P Ar paramsfile
With the
.Fl S
option for the
.Fl g
or
.Fl G
actions, specify a parameters file with a shared key to reuse for
deriving this one as a subkey.
.It Fl p
Read all passphrases from stdin rather than
.Pa /dev/tty .
Passphrases are separated by newlines.
Users of this flag must be able to predict the order in which passphrases
are prompted.
If this flag is specified then verification errors will cause the device
in question to be unconfigured rather than prompting for the passphrase
again.
.It Fl S
When generating a parameters file with
.Fl g
or
.Fl G ,
arrange to use a subkey of a shared key.
If
.Fl P Ar paramsfile
is also specified, reuse the shared key of
.Ar paramsfile ;
otherwise a new one will be generated.
.It Fl s
Read the key (nb: not the passphrase) from stdin.
.It Fl T
Generate all keys for all the devices listed in the
.Nm
configuration file and print them to standard output encoded in
base64.
.It Fl t
Generate the key and print it to standard output encoded in base64.
.It Fl U
Unconfigure all the devices listed in the cgd configuration file.
.It Fl u
Unconfigure a cgd.
.It Fl V Ar vmeth
Specify the verification method (default: none).
.It Fl v
Be verbose.
May be specified multiple times.
.El
.Pp
For more information about the cryptographic algorithms supported,
please refer to
.Xr cgd 4 .
.Ss Key Generation Methods
To generate the key which it will use,
.Nm
evaluates all of the key generation methods in the parameters file
and uses the exclusive-or of the outputs of all the methods.
The methods and descriptions are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width indentxxxxxxxxxxx
.It argon2id
This method requires a passphrase which is entered at configuration
time.
Argon2 is a memory-hard password hashing scheme and winner of the
2013-2015 Password Hashing Competition.
It has numerous parameters allowing its hardness to scale with the
performance of the system.
Recommended for passphrase-based initialization.
.It pkcs5_pbkdf2/sha1
This method requires a passphrase which is entered at configuration
time.
It is a salted hmac-based scheme detailed in
.Dq PKCS#5 v2.0: Password-Based Cryptography Standard ,
RSA Laboratories, March 25, 1999, pages 8-10.
PKCS #5 was also republished as RFC 2898.
.It pkcs5_pbkdf2
This is an earlier, slightly incorrect and deprecated implementation
of the above algorithm.
It is retained for backwards compatibility with existing parameters
files, and will be removed.
Existing parameters files should be
converted to use the correct method using the
.Fl G
option, and a new passphrase.
.It storedkey
This method stores its key in the parameters file.
.It randomkey
The method simply reads
.Pa /dev/random
and uses the resulting bits as the key.
It does not require a passphrase to be entered.
2002-10-07 04:12:40 +04:00
This method is typically used to present disk devices that do not
need to survive a reboot.
It is also handy to facilitate overwriting the contents of
2002-10-05 04:34:35 +04:00
a disk volume with meaningless data prior to use.
.It urandomkey
The method simply reads
.Pa /dev/urandom
2012-12-05 12:56:54 +04:00
and uses the resulting bits as the key.
This is similar to the
.Pa randomkey
2020-06-23 17:08:01 +03:00
method, but it guarantees that
.Nm
will not stall waiting for 256 bits of entropy from a hardware RNG
or seed.
.It shell_cmd
This method executes a shell command via
.Xr popen 3
and reads the key from stdout.
.El
.Ss Verification Method
The verification method is how
.Nm
determines if the generated key is correct.
If the newly configured disk fails to verify, then
.Nm
will regenerate the key and re-configure the device.
2011-07-03 23:05:10 +04:00
It only makes sense to specify a verification method if at least one of the
key generation methods is error prone, e.g., uses a user-entered passphrase.
The following verification methods are supported:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width indentxxx -compact
.It none
perform no verification.
.It disklabel
scan for a valid disklabel.
.It mbr
scan for a valid Master Boot Record.
.It gpt
2014-12-14 20:15:14 +03:00
scan for a valid GUID partition table.
.It ffs
scan for a valid FFS file system.
.It zfs
scan for a valid ZFS vdev label (if compiled with MKZFS).
.It re-enter
2003-09-24 01:25:20 +04:00
prompt for passphrase twice, and ensure entered passphrases are
identical.
This method only works with the argon2id, pkcs5_pbkdf2/sha1, and
pkcs5_pbkdf2 key generators.
.El
.Ss /etc/cgd/cgd.conf
The file
.Pa /etc/cgd/cgd.conf
is used to configure
.Nm
if either of
.Fl C
or
.Fl U
are specified.
Each line of the file is composed of either two or three
tokens: cgd, target, and optional paramsfile.
.Pp
A
.Sq \&#
character is interpreted as a comment and indicates that the
rest of the line should be ignored.
A
.Sq \e
at the end of a line indicates that the next line is a continuation of
the current line.
.Pp
If the second field is of the form
.Dq NAME=<value>
then all the
.Xr dk 4
wedge partitions are searched for one that has a wedge name equal to
.Ar <value>
and the device corresponding to it is selected.
.Pp
If the second field starts with the prefix
.Dq ROOT.
the prefix is replaced with
.Dq /dev/[root_device] ,
where
.Bq root_device
is the value of the
.Dq kern.root_device
sysctl.
.Pp
See
.Sx EXAMPLES
for an example of
.Pa /etc/cgd/cgd.conf .
.Ss Parameters File
The Parameters File contains the required information to generate the
key and configure a device.
These files are typically generated by the
.Fl g
flag and not edited by hand.
2002-10-07 04:12:40 +04:00
When a device is configured the default parameters file is constructed
by taking the basename of the target disk and prepending
.Pa /etc/cgd/
to it.
2002-10-07 04:12:40 +04:00
E.g., if the target is
.Pa /dev/sd0h ,
then the default parameters file will be
.Pa /etc/cgd/sd0h .
.Pp
It is possible to have more than one parameters file for a given
disk which use different key generation methods but will generate
the same key.
To create a parameters file that is equivalent to an existing parameters
file, use
.Nm
with the
.Fl G
flag.
See
.Sx EXAMPLES
for an example of this usage.
.Pp
The parameters file contains a list of statements each terminated
with a semi-colon.
Some statements can contain statement-blocks which are either a
single unadorned statement, or a brace-enclosed list of semicolon
terminated statements.
Three types of data are understood:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -compact -width integerxx
.It integer
a 32 bit signed integer.
.It string
a string.
.It base64
a length-encoded base64 string.
.El
.Pp
The following statements are defined:
.Bl -tag -width indentxx
.It algorithm Ar string
Defines the cryptographic algorithm.
.It iv-method Ar string
Defines the IV generation method.
This should always be
.Sq encblkno1
except when dealing with disks written with a very old version of
.Xr cgd 4
from before
.Nx 5.0 ,
released in 2010; see
.Xr cgd 4
for details.
.It keylength Ar integer
Defines the length of the key.
.It verify_method Ar string
Defines the verification method.
.It keygen Ar string Ar statement_block
Defines a key generation method.
The
.Ar statement_block
contains statements that are specific to the key generation method.
.El
.Pp
The keygen statement's statement block may contain the following statements:
.Bl -tag -width indentxx
.It key Ar string
The key.
Only used for the storedkey key generation method.
.It cmd Ar string
The command to execute.
Only used for the shell_cmd key generation method.
.It iterations Ar integer
The number of iterations.
Only used for argon2id, pkcs5_pbkdf2/sha1, and pkcs5_pbkdf2.
.It salt Ar base64
The salt.
Only used for argon2id, pkcs5_pbkdf2/sha1, and pkcs5_pbkdf2.
.It memory Ar integer
Memory consumption in kilobytes.
Only used for argon2id.
.It parallelism Ar integer
Number of threads to use to compute the password hash.
Should be equivalent to the number of CPUs/hardware threads.
Only used for argon2id.
.It version Ar integer
Version of Argon2 to use.
Should be the most recent version, currently
.Dv 19 .
Only used for argon2id.
cgdconfig(8): Add support for shared keys. New clause `shared <id> algorithm <alg> subkey <info>' in a keygen block enables `cgdconfig -C' to reuse a key between different params files, so you can, e.g., use a single password for multiple disks. This is better than simply caching the password itself because: - Hashing the password is expensive, so it should only be done once. Suppose your budget is time t before you get bored, and you calibrate password hash parameters to unlock n disks before you get bored waiting for `cgdconfig -C'. . With n password hashings the adversary's cost goes up only by a factor of t/n. . With one password hashing and n subkeys the adversary's cost goes up by a factor of n. And if you ever add a disk, rehashing it will make `cgdconfig -C' go over budget, whereas another subkey adds negligible cost to you. - Subkeys work for other types of keygen blocks, like shell_cmd, which could be used to get a key from a hardware token that needs a button press. The <info> parameter must be different for each params file; everything else in the keygen block must be the same. With this clause, the keygen block determines a shared key used only to derive keys; the actual key used by cgdconfig is derived from the shared key by the specified algorithm. The only supported algorithm is hkdf-hmac-sha256, which uses HKDF-Expand of RFC 5869 instantiated with SHA-256. Example: algorithm aes-cbc; iv-method encblkno1; keylength 128; verify_method none; keygen pkcs5_pbkdf2/sha1 { iterations 39361; salt AAAAgMoHiYonye6KogdYJAobCHE=; shared "pw" algorithm hkdf-hmac-sha256 subkey AAAAgFlw0BMQ5gY+haYkZ6JC+yY=; }; The key used for this disk will be derived by HKDF-HMAC-SHA256_k(WXDQExDmBj6FpiRnokL7Jg==), where k is the outcome of PBKDF2-SHA1 with the given parameters. Note that <info> encodes a four-byte prefix giving the big-endian length in bits of the info argument to HKDF, just like all other bit strings in cgdconfig parameters files. If you have multiple disks configured using the same keygen block except for the info parameter, `cgdconfig -C' will only prompt once for your passphrase, generate a shared key k with PBKDF2 as usual, and then reuse it for each of the disks.
2022-08-12 13:49:17 +03:00
.It shared Ar name No algorithm Ar kdf No subkey Ar info
Makes the key generation take an extra step to derive a subkey from the
main key using the key derivation function
.Ar kdf
with input
.Ar info .
.Pp
This enables a single password entry, for example, to decrypt multiple
disks that use different keys, each derived as a subkey from the main
key generated from the password.
.Bl -tag -width 6n
.It Ar name
A string used to identify the same main key generation shared between
parameters files for different disks listed in a single
.Pa cgd.conf
configuration file.
.It Ar kdf
The name of a key derivation function used to derive a subkey from the
main key.
Supported values:
.Bl -tag -width 6n -offset indent
.It Li hkdf-hmac-sha256
The HKDF-Expand function of RFC 5869, instantiated with SHA-256.
.El
.It Ar info
A base64 length-encoded string to distinguish different subkeys derived
from a shared main key.
Need not be secret.
For example, it could be a nickname, or the disk's World-Wide Name, or
a UUID generated for the disk, or just a random string.
.El
.Pp
It is an error to reuse a shared key
.Ar name
with different keygen blocks, other than the
.Ar info
parameter,
between parameters files used by a single
.Pa cgd.conf
configuration file.
.El

cgdconfig(8): Add support for shared keys. New clause `shared <id> algorithm <alg> subkey <info>' in a keygen block enables `cgdconfig -C' to reuse a key between different params files, so you can, e.g., use a single password for multiple disks. This is better than simply caching the password itself because: - Hashing the password is expensive, so it should only be done once. Suppose your budget is time t before you get bored, and you calibrate password hash parameters to unlock n disks before you get bored waiting for `cgdconfig -C'. . With n password hashings the adversary's cost goes up only by a factor of t/n. . With one password hashing and n subkeys the adversary's cost goes up by a factor of n. And if you ever add a disk, rehashing it will make `cgdconfig -C' go over budget, whereas another subkey adds negligible cost to you. - Subkeys work for other types of keygen blocks, like shell_cmd, which could be used to get a key from a hardware token that needs a button press. The <info> parameter must be different for each params file; everything else in the keygen block must be the same. With this clause, the keygen block determines a shared key used only to derive keys; the actual key used by cgdconfig is derived from the shared key by the specified algorithm. The only supported algorithm is hkdf-hmac-sha256, which uses HKDF-Expand of RFC 5869 instantiated with SHA-256. Example: algorithm aes-cbc; iv-method encblkno1; keylength 128; verify_method none; keygen pkcs5_pbkdf2/sha1 { iterations 39361; salt AAAAgMoHiYonye6KogdYJAobCHE=; shared "pw" algorithm hkdf-hmac-sha256 subkey AAAAgFlw0BMQ5gY+haYkZ6JC+yY=; }; The key used for this disk will be derived by HKDF-HMAC-SHA256_k(WXDQExDmBj6FpiRnokL7Jg==), where k is the outcome of PBKDF2-SHA1 with the given parameters. Note that <info> encodes a four-byte prefix giving the big-endian length in bits of the info argument to HKDF, just like all other bit strings in cgdconfig parameters files. If you have multiple disks configured using the same keygen block except for the info parameter, `cgdconfig -C' will only prompt once for your passphrase, generate a shared key k with PBKDF2 as usual, and then reuse it for each of the disks.
