Description

Manages storage-volume encryption keys separately from encrypted volumes so recovery workflows can handle forgotten passphrases or key escrow scenarios. It is useful for administrators responsible for encrypted storage recovery.

This is security-sensitive key-management software. Mishandled keys can expose encrypted data or make recovery impossible, so protect key storage, access, and backups carefully.
