+Use the
+.B convert
+command to convert an existing secure key from one key type to another type.
+You can convert secure keys of type CCA-AESDATA to type CCA-AESCIPHER only.
+
+.B Note:
+Secure keys converted to type \fBCCA-AESCIPHER\fP require an IBM cryptographic
+adapter in CCA coprocessor mode of version 6 or later, e.g. a CEX6C.
+
+The secure key can either be contained in a file in the file system, or in a
+secure key repository. To convert a secure key contained in a file, specify
+the file name with option \fIsecure\-key\-file\fP. To convert a secure key
+contained in the secure key repository, specify the name of the key
+that is to be converted using the
+.B \-\-name
+option. You cannot use wildcards. The convert command prompts for
+a confirmation, unless you specify the
+.B \-\-force
+option.
+.PP
+.B Note:
+Converting a secure key is irreversible!
+When converting a secure key that is associated with one or multiple volumes,
+a message informs you about the associated volumes. When the secure key is
+converted, this might have an effect on these volumes.
+.P
+For volumes with volume type \fBplain\fP, you must adapt the crypttab entries
+and change the key size parameter to \fBsize=<new-key-size-in-bits>\fP or run
+command \fBzkey crypttab --volumes <device>\fP for each associated volume to
+re-generate the crypttab entries.
+.P
+Associated volumes of type \fLUKS2\fP still contain the secure AES volume key of
+the original type. To change the secure AES volume key in the LUKS2 header,
+run command \fBzkey-cryptsetup setkey <device> --master-key-file
+<converted-key>\fP for each associated volume.
+.
+.P
+.B Note:
+The \fBconvert\fP command requires the CCA host library (libcsulcca.so)
