  One of the interesting features appearing in RHEL 7.4 is NBDE, or Network Bound Disk Encryption. This manages the seemingly impossible - through the magic of asymmetric cryptography it allows a machine with an encrypted disk to boot, without the disk's encryption key having to be entered at boot time - but only when the machine is on the correct network, and without storing the encryption key in plain text, or storing it off the machine, or transmitting data across the network in such a way that a thief could make use of it. Try to boot the machine when it's not on its home network and you'll need to enter the encryption key if you want to steal its data make progress.
