3 fs_getcrypt - Displays the state of encryption for AFS file transfers
10 B<fs getcrypt> [B<-help>]
17 The B<fs getcrypt> command shows the status of network traffic encryption
18 for file traffic in the AFS client. This encryption applies to file
19 traffic going to and coming from the AFS server for users with valid
20 tokens. The complement of this command is B<fs setcrypt> which sets the
21 status of encryption on the client.
25 AFS uses an encryption scheme called fcrypt, based on but slightly weaker
26 than DES. Because fcrypt and DES are obsolete, the user must decide how
27 much to trust the encryption. Consider using a Virtual Private Network at
28 the IP level if better encryption is needed.
30 Encrypting file traffic requires a token. Unauthenticated connections or
31 connections authorized via IP-based ACLs will not be encrypted even when
32 encryption is turned on.
40 Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
47 If encryption is enabled, the output is:
49 Security level is currently crypt (data security).
51 If encryption if disabled, the output is:
53 Security level is currently clear.
57 There is only one way to invoke B<fs getcrypt>:
61 =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
63 No special priviledges are required for this command.
