| Jul 28, 2012 at 2:20 | comment | added | Phillip R. | @Speakr yeah, that is the only setup that I have ever heard that could do what you are asking. | |
| Jul 27, 2012 at 23:00 | comment | added | speakr | @PhillipR. I guess you refer to Intel's hardware-based encryption and KVM remote control. As you already mentioned, this depends on very specific hardware and therefore is no feasible solution. | |
| Jul 27, 2012 at 1:57 | comment | added | Phillip R. | intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/vpro/… Only works if you have the hardware and the 3rd party apps. | |
| Jul 26, 2012 at 7:29 | comment | added | speakr | @climenole PsExec can only be used to execute applications on an already booted windows system. Therefore, it is no solution for my scenario. | |
| Jul 25, 2012 at 22:55 | comment | added | climenole | Hi Speakr Unfortunately I don't have a key in hand solution for you but I think the solution may be using Sysinternals PsExec which allow to run any program remotely. technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553 | |

I just found this question which mentions kexec. This could be the holy grail: Booting into a LUKS-encrypted linux by unlocking it via ssh, then using kexec to directly boot a TrueCrypt-encrypted windows system volume from there using the TrueCrypt rescue disk. I'll try that. :)

| Jul 24, 2012 at 14:21 | comment | added | speakr | @harrymc Hmm, the mentioned TrueCrypt rescue disk must reside in an encrypted folder and GRUB must be able to access it by asking for a password supplied via ssh.. A lot of conditions, but I'll have a look into this - thanks for the hint. | |

| Jul 24, 2012 at 9:35 | comment | added | harrymc | One solution might be to convert Windows 7 into a virtual machine inside Linux. | |
| Jul 24, 2012 at 9:14 | comment | added | speakr | @harrymc I'm not asking for a specific solution e.g. using TrueCrypt. I'm just asking for anything that would allow windows system volume encryption as well as remote unlocking via ssh. Perhaps another fork of TrueCrypt or FreeOTFE or whatever - I would gladly use it and encrypt my system volume with it. I used the LUKS example to show that such solutions exist, at least for linux. (I edited the question for clarification) | |

clarification

| Jul 24, 2012 at 5:50 | comment | added | harrymc | What product did you use to encrypt the disk? You describe Linux parallels instead of describing what you did with Windows. There is not enough info here for a useful answer. | |
