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 aespipe'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.
