crypt question/server hotel

[Maxime Alarie]

This might  sound ridiculous,  or maybe I drank too much coffee im not sure..

Maybe you could Use a Linux Live CD .. Install what you need, setup a good backup including a list of  all the installed packages,  and every night send your data over Secured ftp  or use rsync to synchronize with a remote host. If there is a reboot.  No security  would be "compromised".  Data  would be gone!  (Linux Live). The bcrypt program will encrypt your data too.

After the reboot..   you just  apt-get install < list_of_packages.txt and a little rsync remote_machine to local and you are good to go..

Or....
host your server somewhere else.. 
 
Damn I should write books.

I don't think this problem is solvable, really.

Anything you could do, they could just 'pretend' to do - once it's unencrypted once, they've got it if they want it. As long as the OS isn't in your control, you're possibly hosed.

Go watch the Matrix again :-)
