''amaespipe'' - wrapper program for aespipe
 
==SYNOPSIS==
amaespipe
 
==DESCRIPTION==
Amaespipe  requires  aespipe 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.  The GPG  key should be stored in $AMANDA_HOME/.gnupg/am_key.gpg.  Amaespipe reads a passphrase from file descriptor 3.  During decryption, amaespipe autodects encryption type and hash function from the encrypted image.
