This works for me with bash: # cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/loop0 <(cat key1) # cryptsetup --key-file <(cat key1) luksAddKey /dev/loop0 <(cat key2) # cryptsetup --key-file <(cat key2) luksOpen /dev/loop0 foo Btw. piping keyfiles to cryptsetup without using --key-file may be a bad idea. Iirc at least older versions of cryptsetup did not use the full keyfile for encryption, e.g. when it contained newline characters.
