<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> is a service responsible for setting up encrypted
block devices. It is instantiated for each device that requires decryption for access.</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
translated into <filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> units by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-cryptsetup-generator</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para>In order to unlock a volume a password or binary key is
required. <filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> tries to acquire a suitable password or binary
key via the following mechanisms, tried in order:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem><para>If a key file is explicitly configured (via the third column in
<filename>/etc/crypttab</filename>), a key read from it is used. If a PKCS#11 token, FIDO2 token or
TPM2 device is configured (using the <varname>pkcs11-uri=</varname>, <varname>fido2-device=</varname>,
<varname>tpm2-device=</varname> options) the key is decrypted before use.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>If no key file is configured explicitly this way, a key file is automatically loaded
from <filename>/etc/cryptsetup-keys.d/<replaceable>volume</replaceable>.key</filename> and
<filename>/run/cryptsetup-keys.d/<replaceable>volume</replaceable>.key</filename>, if present. Here
too, if a PKCS#11/FIDO2/TPM2 token/device is configured, any key found this way is decrypted before
use.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>If the <varname>try-empty-password</varname> option is specified it is then attempted
to unlock the volume with an empty password.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The kernel keyring is then checked for a suitable cached password from previous
attempts.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Finally, the user is queried for a password, possibly multiple times, unless
the <varname>headless</varname> option is set.</para></listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>If no suitable key may be acquired via any of the mechanisms describes above, volume activation fails.</para>
