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