When <replaceable>keypath</replaceable> ends with '.gpg' it's considered to be key encrypted symmetrically with GPG. You will be prompted for password on boot. GPG support comes with 'crypt-gpg' module which needs to be added explicitly.</para>
             <para><replaceable>keydev</replaceable> is a device on which key file resides. It might be kernel name of devices (should start with &quot;/dev/&quot;), UUID (prefixed with &quot;UUID=&quot;) or label (prefix with &quot;LABEL=&quot;).  You don&apos;t have to specify full UUID. Just its beginning will suffice, even if its ambiguous. All matching devices will be probed. This parameter is recommended, but not required. If not present, all block devices will be probed, which may significantly increase boot time.</para>
             <para>If <replaceable>luksdev</replaceable> is given, the specified key will only be applied for that LUKS device. Possible values are the same as for <replaceable>keydev</replaceable>. Unless you have several LUKS devices, you don&apos;t have to specify this parameter.</para>
