  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 a TLS key; each client
 
12
  has one unique to it.  The server sends the clients an encrypted
 
13
  password.  The encrypted password is decrypted by the clients using
 
14
  a separate OpenPGP key, and the password is then used to unlock the
 
15
  root file system, whereupon the computers can continue booting
 
16
  normally.
