Hi dkryder,
I must garantee that my system can run only on a specific pine64 machine and must be unreadable when connect the sd card on other machines.

Why would you want to encrypt the entire rootfs? Why not just partition things so you have a separate /home partition, and encrypt that? I don't think the core operating system files are that exciting that they would need to be encrypted/decrypted!
Hi pfeerick,
I must garantee also that the system tools installed, and the type and version of the OS must be unreadable with an sd card analysis.

Hi bobpaul,
my idea is a fully encrypted System coupled with a start on a specific pine64 machine only.
