@ -246,18 +246,18 @@ repository password. This is then used with `scrypt`, a key derivation function
bytes. The first 32 bytes are used as the encryption key (for AES-256) and the
last 32 bytes are used as the message authentication key (for Poly1305-AES).
These last 32 bytes are divided into a 16 byte AES key `k` followed by 16 bytes
of secret key `r`. They key `r` is then masked for use with Poly1305 (see the
of secret key `r`. The key `r` is then masked for use with Poly1305 (see the
paper for details).
This message authentication key (`k` and `r`) is used to compute a MAC over the
bytes contained in the JSON field `data` (after removing the Base64 encoding
and not including the last 32 byte). If the password is incorrect or the key
file has been tampered with, the computed MAC will not match the last 16 bytes
of the data, and restic exits with an error. Otherwise, the data is decrypted
with the encryption key derived from `scrypt`. This yields a JSON document
which contains the master encryption and message authentication keys for this
repository (encoded in Base64). The command `restic cat masterkey` can be used
as follows to decrypt and pretty-print the master key:
