    <title>Description</title>

    <para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> is a
    service responsible for setting up encrypted block devices. It is
    instantiated for each device that requires decryption for
    access.</para>

    <para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> will ask
    for hard disk passwords via the <ulink
    url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PasswordAgents">
    password agent logic</ulink>, in order to query the user for the
    password using the right mechanism at boot and during
    runtime.</para>

    <para>At early boot and when the system manager configuration is
    reloaded this <filename>/etc/crypttab</filename> is translated
    into <filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> units by
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-cryptsetup-generator</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
