file encryption that root cannot read

rated 0 times [ 5] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 813 / 1 Year ago, wed, april 19, 2023, 8:56:44

I have regular user access to a friend's root server. I can put my data there and he (as a normal user) could not read my data, but with the root account he could.

If I use something like en encrypted home folder, he could still read the data when I am logged in. Is there some way to protect the data in a way that only I can read it and not root?

Encrypt the data on your computer, then send it to his. You can use gpg for this. If you want to be able to log on to his computer and access the files, then no, there is nothing you can do to prevent root from spying on you; if you don't trust the computer, then you can not use it to handle sensitive information.
