HP UX Encrypted Volume and Filesystem (EVFS) manual

user keys	The public/private key pairs that EVFS uses to securely store volume encryption keys. User
	keys can be used as owner keys, recovery keys, or authorized user keys.
volume	Symmetric key used by EVFS to encrypt volume data.
encryption key
volume owner	The owner of an EVFS volume. A volume owner with the appropriate file permissions for the
	EVFS device file can perform all administrative operations on an EVFS volume. The EVFS
	volume owner is designated by specifying the name of the owner's key when the EVFS volume
	is created.
