Linux Server Disk Encryption Roundtable

Monday Apr 6, 2026, 11:00 AM → 12:00 PM America/Chicago

Room 1404 (Building 240)

What are Argonne IT teams doing about disk encryption for Linux servers?

CELS Research Computing is exploring disk encryption at the server level and across server infrastructure — and we want to hear from the broader Argonne IT community before charting a path forward.

This is a community roundtable, not a lecture. No formal presentations required — just a structured conversation about what teams across the lab are doing (or considering) in this space:

• What tools or solutions are you using, evaluating, or aware of?
• At what layer are you applying encryption — filesystem, block device, volume?
• What's working? What isn't? What are the operational tradeoffs?
• Are there gaps no current solution addresses well?

 

Our goal: get a clear picture of the landscape across Argonne, identify any viable solutions CELS RC could adopt, and explore whether there's appetite to collaborate on shared practices or establish a common standard.

Whether you have a fully implemented solution, a work-in-progress, or you're just curious what others are doing — you're welcome here.
