## AI overview

A report on Romeo Solano's FOSSY 2026 presentation about encrypting data on servers. It explains why remote systems without keyboard access during boot are harder to encrypt than laptops and discusses problems and possible solutions.

## Source excerpt

At the 2026 edition of FOSSY, 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.
