Secure logging aims at protecting the integrity of complete log messages including all associated meta-data, such as timestamps and host names. {{ site.product.short_name }} parses the log message into its internal format and provide easy access to parts of a message through macros. While this is convenient when rewriting log messages, it is not helpful for secure logging. {{ site.product.short_name }} provides the store-raw-message flag which provides access to a copy of the original log message after parsing. This is the log message processed and protected by the secure logging template. If the source does not support the `store-raw-message flag`, then the `${MSG}` macro can also be used. However, in this case the integrity guarantee provided by secure logging is limited to the content that this macro provides.
 * Log rotation of any kind cannot be used with destinations using secure logging, because log rotate overwrites or deletes previous log files. This compromises the cryptographic chain of trust of the log entries preve recovery. To efficiently handle log files, the secure logging environment features iterative verification. Using iterative verification, a log file can be verified in steps. For this to work, the log file must first be downloaded from the log host, together with the corresponding host key and MAC file to a verification host. After downloading, the log file can be safely deleted from the log host. Verification is then performed on the verification host using the iterative mode of the slogverify utility.

+## LOG VERIFICATION
 
 To analyze the log file created in a secure logging environment, the log files must be decrypted and their integrity be verified. Verification requires both the initial host key (`k0`) and the corresponding MAC file and is performed with the slogverify utility. It is not normally performed on the log host where the secure logging environment is producing log data. In a typical deployment, log files would be retrieved from the log host and transferred to a central log collector where verification it performed. As verification requires the use of  `k0`, it should only be performed in a trusted environment.
 
-### Normal mode
+### NORMAL MODE
 
 In normal mode, a complete log archive is verified at once. In a typical environment, this would mean retrieving a log file together with is MAC file from a log host and retrieving the corresponding initial key `k0` from a safe location and supplying them to the slogverify utility. A typical call sqeuence for normal mode is presented in the following example:

-### Iterative mode
+### ITERATIVE MODE
 
 Verification in normal mode may not be suitable for some application scenarios. Many log hosts use log rotation in order to preserve storage space. In log rotation, a threshold for the maximum amount of storage space and the number of generations is defined for different type of log files. When either storage space is exhausted or the number of generations is reached, the oldest log file is overwritten by new incoming log data. This procedure is not possible in secure logging environment, as overwriting, i.e. deleting a log file would break the cryptographic chain that is established between the log entries. This comes as no surprise, as one of the main objectives of secure logging is to protect against deletion of log entries by a potential attacker.

-## Synopsis

 ```
 slogencrypt [options] [arguments]
 ```
 
-## Description
+## DESCRIPTION
 
 The `slogencrypt` utility encrypts plain text log files using an existing secure logging environment. Using this utility, log files obtained from a previous installation of {{ site.product.short_name }} or another logging system can be transferred to a secure logging environment. The order of the log entries is preserved. Encrypting plain text log files using an existing secure logging environment, requires the current encryption key to be supplied in order to preserve consistency.

     Iterative mode. This is useful in case the log files are periodically copied from the system on which they where generated to central collector. As log rotation, i.e. overwriting log files in order to preserve space cannot be done in a secure logging environment, the iterative mode can be used instead. This works as follows: If a certain storage limit is reached the log file together with the host key and the MAC file is copied to new destination and the old file is deleted. The verification is then performed in iterations, i.e. separately for each file that was retrieved from the log host. For this to work, it is important to always retrieve the corresponding host key and MAC files. The process can be automated, for example by calling slogverify in iterative mode from a script.

In theory, this can be initial host key (`k0`) but using this key might generate warnings, as the gap between the first log entry ever (log entry 0) and the first log entry of the current log file might be large.

-* `${RAWMSG}`
+`${RAWMSG}`
 
     `${RAWMSG}` provides access to the original log message received at the source. This macro is only available if the store-raw-message flag was set for the source. Otherwise, an empty string is passed to the secure logging template. If access to the original message is not available, for example, if the source does not support the `store-raw-message` flag, then the `${MSG}` macro can also be used. In this case, however, the integrity guarantee provided by secure logging is limited to the content that this macro provides and does not protect the complete original message.
 
-* `\n`
+`\n`
 
     `\n` is a line separator and its use is important, as the secure logging template expects log entries to be separated. When detecting a line separator, the log entry is regarded as complete and is encrypted with the current host key. Therefore, only a single line separator is allowed.

     Iterative mode. This is useful in case the log files are periodically copied from the system on which they where generated to central collector. As log rotation, i.e. overwriting log files in order to preserve space cannot be done in a secure logging environment, the iterative mode can be used instead. This works as follows: If a certain storage limit is reached the log file together with the host key and the MAC file is copied to new destination and the old file is deleted. The verification is then performed in iterations, i.e. separately for each file that was retrieved from the log host. For this to work, it is important to always retrieve the corresponding host key and MAC files. The process can be automated, for example by calling slogverify in iterative mode from a script.

 To bootstrap the system, an initial key (`k0`) must be created and installed on the log host before secure logging environment is started for the first time.
 
 The initially created host key (`k0`) has its counter set to `0` marking it as the initial host key. This host key must be kept secret and it cannot be disclosed to third any parties. It is required to successfully decrypt and verify log archives processed by the secure logging environment. As each log entry is encrypted with its own key, a new host key will be created after successful processing of a log entry and replaces the previous key. Therefore, the initial host key needs to be stored in a safe place before starting the secure logging environment, as it is deleted from the log host after processing of the first log entry. The following steps must be done before starting the secure logging environment. Steps 1 and 2 are performed with the slogkey utility. See the slogkey.1 manual page for details on how to generate a master key and to derive a host key from it. Step 3 and 4 depend on the actual deployment in a target environment.

     `${RAWMSG}` provides access to the original log message received at the source. This macro is only available if the store-raw-message flag was set for the source. Otherwise, an empty string is passed to the secure logging template. If access to the original message is not available, for example, if the source does not support the `store-raw-message` flag, then the `${MSG}` macro can also be used. In this case, however, the integrity guarantee provided by secure logging is limited to the content that this macro provides and does not protect the complete original message.

 Log files may become too large and not fit into the system memory. Verification is therefore performed in chunks. Each part of the log file is transferred to an internal buffer on which verification is performed. After the buffer has been processed, the next chunk is fetched. An optional buffer argument can be supplied to the slogverify utility in order to change the default buffer size of 1000 log entries to a number suitable for the system on which the verification is performed, for example:
