At the <a href="https://2026.fossy.ca/">2026 edition of FOSSY</a>, Romeo
Solano gave a fast-paced, humorous presentation on what could have been a
rather boring topic: server encryption. There are a number of threats that
we face in today's world, from criminals, government overreach, espionage,
and more, that can be thwarted with encryption. But encrypting data on a
system that may live elsewhere, without any access to its keyboard at boot
time, is rather more difficult than encrypting the disk of a laptop.
Solano described the problems and gave a tour of some of the solutions in
the talk.
