This is part of the Mandos system for allowing host computers to

have encrypted root file systems and also be capable of remote and

unattended reboots. The host computers run a small client program

in the initial RAM disk environment which will communicate with a

server over a network. The clients are identified by the server

using a OpenPGP key; each client has one unique to it. The server

sends the clients an encrypted password. The encrypted password is

decrypted by the clients using the same OpenPGP key, and the

password is then used to unlock the root file system, whereupon the

host computers can continue booting normally.
