Comment on Ask HN: Building a secure laptop for sensitive work data

Comments

The other on my twitter stream appeared this awesome USB device[1] (usbarmory), which you can use in a variety of ways. You can deploy your own cryptographic scheme, which could be fairly unique and virtually impossible to hack and very easy to conceal.

1. You could for example create a mountable NTFS partition with seemingly personal sensitive information (a couple of pictures, some documents, a personal love letter, some false business documents, etc.) and have your data in a second partition.

2. Truecrypt was the only software the supported hidden volumes as far as I know, but this device is really amazing IMHO and you can do all sort of things.
