That's what you get when your first recourse is Google rather than the
manual that comes with your software on your computer. (-: The manual
pages that you should be reading are:
* man -S 5 crypttab #

* man -S 8 systemd-cryptsetup-generator # (http://freedesktop.org./software/systemd/man/systemd-cryptsetup-generator.html)

Sorry, but this doc should be available *before* migration, because it would render things unbootable to insall without configuring.
It *is* available before migration - Jonathan has helpfully provided you
with URLs for reading that documentation on the freedesktop.org website.
There is also an assortment of other information on freedesktop.org
about how to use systemd, above and beyond a complete set of systemd man
pages:

Same thing how to GUESS those names ?
I seldom try to *guess* the names of programs I want to read
documentation for, since very few programs of *any* kind have decently
guessable names. I instead use tools like "apropos relevant-syllable" on
my Linux systems (which often provides useful results), and adding
things like "documentation" or "manual" or "man page" to my WWW searches.
Here's what "apropos -s 1:4:5:7:8 crypt"[0][1] returns on my Debian
jessie system:

[0] Searching for a distinctive *subset* of a relevant word is usually
more helpful than searching for a complete word, hence "crypt" rather
than "encrypted" or "encryption" or whatever.
[1] I just discovered the '-s' command line flag to apropos. I am so
happy; no more wading through reams of function man pages when I'm
trying to find the man page for a program or a configuration file.
