From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How would you protect files of a VPS (Virtual Private Server) from snooping by the service provider?

Intel is pushing there "encrypted enclave" which supposedly protects the host from being able to read or write guest memory. However, I have serious doubt as it is a black box system. It also is very problematic when a security issue (or backdoor) is found as your data is basically exposed

Ultimately you are right about this which is sad. I wonder if at some point there could be a zero knowledge cache for https. Maybe double encrypt it and have the client decrypt it fully.
