  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.
