Folks,
AES Crypt for Linux now supports use of "key files". Basically, these are
files that hold your password and can be used like this:
tar -cvf - /home | aescrypt -e -k secret.key - >backup_files.tar.aes
To create a key file, just open Windows' notepad and create a one-line text
file with your password inside and save it as "Unicode" or use the new
utility provided as part of the aescrypt package:
aescrypt_keygen -p apples secret.key
This was a much-requested feature and one that I personally needed. So, here
it is!
