  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.
