  This is part of the Mandos system for allowing computers to have
 
6
  encrypted root file systems and at the same time be capable of
 
7
  remote and/or unattended reboots.  The computers run a small client
 
8
  program in the initial <acronym>RAM</acronym> disk environment which
 
9
  will communicate with a server over a network.  All network
 
10
  communication is encrypted using <acronym>TLS</acronym>.  The
 
11
  clients are identified by the server using an OpenPGP key; each
 
12
  client has one unique to it.  The server sends the clients an
 
13
  encrypted password.  The encrypted password is decrypted by the
 
14
  clients using the same OpenPGP key, and the password is then used to
 
15
  unlock the root file system, whereupon the computers can continue
 
16
  booting normally.
