Let's bring the credentials into a better order, in order of relevance. Also, let's clarify what the generic LUKS PIN is about. Finally, list the credentials in system-credentials(7) too, after all people might want to unlock a disk with this via SMBIOS Type 11 or so.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup</filename> is used to set up (with <command>attach</command>) and tear
|
|
down (with <command>detach</command>) access to an encrypted block device. It is primarily used via
|
|
<filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> during early boot, but may also be be called manually.
|
|
The positional arguments <parameter>VOLUME</parameter>, <parameter>SOURCEDEVICE</parameter>,
|
|
<parameter>KEY-FILE</parameter>, and <parameter>CRYPTTAB-OPTIONS</parameter> have the same meaning as the
|
|
fields in <citerefentry><refentrytitle>crypttab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> is a service responsible for providing access to
|
|
encrypted block devices. It is instantiated for each device that requires decryption.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> instances are part of the
|
|
<filename>system-systemd\x2dcryptsetup.slice</filename> slice, which is destroyed only very late in the
|
|
shutdown procedure. This allows the encrypted devices to remain up until filesystems have been unmounted.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> will ask
|
|
for hard disk passwords via the <ulink

url="https://systemd.io/PASSWORD_AGENTS/">password agent logic</ulink>, in
|
|
order to query the user for the password using the right mechanism at boot
|
|
and during runtime.</para>
|
|
|

<para>At early boot and when the system manager configuration is reloaded, <filename>/etc/crypttab</filename> is

<para>In order to unlock a volume a password or binary key is required.

TPM2 device is configured (using the <varname>pkcs11-uri=</varname>, <varname>fido2-device=</varname>,

|

too, if a PKCS#11/FIDO2/TPM2 token/device is configured, any key found this way is decrypted before

use.</para></listitem>
