SRPM URL: http://people.redhat.com/mitr/packaging/volume_key-0.2-1.src.rpm
Description:
This package provides a command-line tool for manipulating storage volume
encryption keys and storing them separately from volumes.

The main goal of the software is to allow restoring access to an encrypted
hard drive if the primary user forgets the passphrase.  The encryption key
back up can also be useful for extracting data after a hardware or software
failure that corrupts the header of the encrypted volume, or to access the
company data after an employee leaves abruptly.


Note: the package builds against a static, patched copy of libcryptsetup.  This
is temporary, to make volume_key available in Fedora sooner.  The upstream
maintainer has accepted the proposed functionality, and I'll remove the static
copy of libcryptsetup as soon as the patch is not necessary.
