Hello!
The ideia is: you can run the system but you cannot access the sources inside it, what is very interesting when you work with PHP, for example. So, when machine is off nobody can read data from it because it is encrypted. When you turn the machine on it automatically enter a passphase or key witch are hidden somewhere that we cannot detect! Amazing! My guess is that the keys/passphrase are compiled inside the kernel, so it´s quite impossible to access it, but at the same time you can use the system! I used the system without internet access and it mounted the partition ok! That´s why I think that the "magic" is in the kernel! Any ideas how it´s done?
