New ideas to secure the transmission and storage of data. Not the algorithms in side the encryption engines but more in the protocol and exchange of keys to pass trust.

Remote On-line Encryption Keys for LUKS
I have devised a way to setup encrypted partitions that get their key from an on-line Internet source so that if a device was physically stolen such as a laptop, that the on-line key can be turned off and data contained in it would be kept safe. Do any other such documented methods exist using a luks encrypted partitions or other methods? The goal being you don't even need to login or even know the password to access an encrypted object. So a user client would not even notice any change at boot or operation on a moblile or fixed system even with auto login at boot and still have a secure system in the event of loss or stolen device event. Seem most looses are due to a lazy or careless users and admins. With this system after setup the user does nothing until the problem event happens. The files for this project can be found at: here
