{.is-warning}
Phyllome OS is a Fedora Remix and as such directly inherits every single security measures in place for Fedora-related distributions, such as SELinux. It also brings some unique security-related features.
* Unprivileged virtual machines with `qemu:///session`, by default
* Filesystem-level encryption with `fscrypt`
* Minimal installations
* **Planned features**
* Unattended installation of security updates
*`systemd` hardening
*`gnome-shell` hardening
## Features
### Data at-rest encryption
Currently, Phyllome OS does **not** provide any kind of encryption by default at the host level.
It provides early support for Filesystem-level encryption, which is just one line of defense.
For any virtual disks that will contain personal data, users are strongly advised to use full-disk encryption as provided by their guest operating system.
