  aespipe is an encryption tool that reads from standard input and
  writes to standard output. It uses the AES (Rijndael) cipher.
  .
- It can be used as an encryption filter, to create and restore
- encrypted tar/cpio backup archives and to read/write and convert
- loop-AES compatible encrypted images.
- .
  aespipe can be used for non-destructive in-place encryption
  of existing disk partitions for use with the loop-AES encrypted
  loopback kernel module.

+ encrypted tar/cpio backup archives and to read/write and convert

+ .
+ Note that aespipe does not store any length information with the
+ encrypted images, so it cannot be used as general purpose filter
+ for encryption, but only for certain formats like tar.
