Hello:
I looking for information how to create a black box with debian to be
able to put a system on untrusted locations.
This system contains a web site as the only interface for the local
users, and ssh as the only way for the remote administration.
Locally, the server could be turned off, and restarted, consider the
case that it's necessary to change the ups, etc.
I need to protect the server against the case that somebody makes a disk
image, and later on can investigate what it's contained on it.
I found information about filesystems encryption, but in this scenario
somebody locally should have access in some way to key, I wanted to
avoid that, so the server could restart having somewhere encrypted all
the necessary information to start.
For local users is should be a real black box.
Thanks in advance for any help, suggestion,. etc.
Is kiosk-mode (which is handled by the WM/DE) what you are looking
for? That plus appropriate case design (BIOS password, no access to
USB ports, strong case lock, disabled Ctrl-Alt-Del, no CD/DVD drive,
etc) and a no-module kernel should get you most of the way to where
you want to be.

Thank you for your answer.
I was looking for more information about your option, but it looks like
something to be used over the graphic interface.
If I'm wrong please correct me this detail.
In my case, I don't need any graphic interface on the black box, the users
can run any operating system on their desktop.
