<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-creds</command> is a tool for listing, showing, encrypting and decrypting unit
credentials. Credentials are limited-size binary or textual objects that may be passed to unit
processes. They are primarily used for passing cryptographic keys (both public and private) or
certificates, user account information or identity information from the host to services.</para>
2023-11-15 22:28:52 +08:00
<para>Credentials are configured in unit files via the <varname>ImportCredential=</varname>,

may be referenced in the <varname>LoadCredentialEncrypted=</varname> setting in unit files, or its
contents used literally in <varname>SetCredentialEncrypted=</varname> settings.</para>
<para>Takes two file system paths. The file name part of the output path is embedded as name in the
encrypted credential, to ensure encrypted credentials cannot be renamed and reused for different
purposes without this being noticed. The credential name to embed may be overridden with the
<option>--name=</option> setting. The input or output paths may be specified as <literal>-</literal>,
in which case the credential data is read from/written to standard input and standard output. If the
output path is specified as <literal>-</literal> the credential name cannot be derived from the file
system path, and thus should be specified explicitly via the <option>--name=</option> switch.</para>
<para>The credential data is encrypted and authenticated symmetrically with one of the following
encryption keys:</para>
2021-06-23 15:41:49 +08:00
<orderedlist>
<listitem><para>A secret key automatically derived from the system's TPM2 chip. This encryption key
is not stored on the host system and thus decryption is only possible with access to the original

local machine.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>A secret key stored in the <filename>/var/lib/systemd/credential.secret</filename>
file which is only accessible to the root user. This "host" encryption key is stored on the host
file system, and thus decryption is possible with access to the host file system and sufficient
privileges. The key is automatically generated when needed, but can also be created explicitly with
the <command>setup</command> command, see above.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>A combination of the above: an encryption key derived from both the TPM2 chip and
the host file system. This means decryption requires both access to the original TPM2 chip and the
OS installation. This is the default mode of operation if a TPM2 chip is available and
<filename>/var/lib/systemd/</filename> resides on persistent media.</para></listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>Which of the three keys shall be used for encryption may be configured with the
<option>--with-key=</option> switch. Depending on the use-case for the encrypted credential the key
to use may differ. For example, for credentials that shall be accessible from the initrd, encryption
with the host key is not appropriate, since access to the host key is typically not available from
the initrd. Thus, for such credentials only the TPM2 key should be used.</para>
2021-06-23 15:41:49 +08:00
<para>Encrypted credentials are always encoded in Base64.</para>
<para>Use <command>decrypt</command> (see below) to undo the encryption operation, and acquire the

<para>The credential data is encrypted using AES256-GCM, i.e. providing both confidentiality and
integrity, keyed by a SHA256 hash of one or both of the secret keys described above.</para>

2021-06-23 15:41:49 +08:00
<para>Takes one or two file system paths. The file name part of the input path is compared with the
credential name embedded in the encrypted file. If it does not match decryption fails. This is done
in order to ensure that encrypted credentials are not re-purposed without this being detected. The
credential name to compare with the embedded credential name may also be overridden with the
<option>--name=</option> switch. If the input path is specified as <literal>-</literal>, the
encrypted credential is read from standard input. If only one path is specified or the output path
specified as <literal>-</literal>, the decrypted credential is written to standard output. In this
mode, the expected name embedded in the credential cannot be derived from the path and should be
specified explicitly with <option>--name=</option>.</para>

<para>Decrypting credentials requires access to the original TPM2 chip and/or credentials host key,

<listitem><para>When specified with the <command>encrypt</command> command controls the

<literal>host+tpm2</literal>, <literal>null</literal>, <literal>auto</literal>,
<literal>auto-initrd</literal>. See above for details on the three key types. If set to
<literal>auto</literal> (which is the default) the TPM2 key is used if a TPM2 device is found and not
running in a container. The host key is used if <filename>/var/lib/systemd/</filename> is on
persistent media. This means on typical systems the encryption is by default bound to both the TPM2
chip and the OS installation, and both need to be available to decrypt the credential again. If
<literal>auto</literal> is selected but neither TPM2 is available (or running in container) nor
<filename>/var/lib/systemd/</filename> is on persistent media, encryption will fail. If set to
<literal>null</literal> a fixed zero length key is used (thus, in this mode no confidentiality
nor authenticity are provided!). This logic is useful to cover for systems that lack a TPM2 chip but
where credentials shall be generated. Note that decryption of such credentials is refused on systems
that have a TPM2 chip and where UEFI SecureBoot is enabled (this is done so that such a locked down
system cannot be tricked into loading a credential generated this way that lacks authentication
information). If set to <literal>auto-initrd</literal> a TPM2 key is used if a TPM2 is found. If not
a fixed zero length key is used, equivalent to <literal>null</literal> mode. This option is
particularly useful to generate credentials files that are encrypted/authenticated against TPM2 where
available but still work on systems lacking support for this.</para>
