usb-armory-front-back-2_png_project-bodyThe USB stick computer is an open source hardware powered by an ARM Cortex and some MBs of RAM, 512 to be precise. It connects to your machine via the USB 2.0 interface. Here is a brief about the specifications for the Armory:



USB Armory USB Stick Enhance Security:

  • Freescale i.MX53 ARM® Cortex™-A8 800MHz
  • 512MB DDR3 RAM
  • Dimensions: 65mm x 19mm x 6mm
  • USB host powered (<500mA) with user controllable LED
  • microSD card slot
  • Native support for Debian, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, Android, other Linux-based distros
  • USB Device Emulation (mass storage, CDC Ethernet, HID)

So, basically, what you have is a piece of exposed hardware which promises to enhance your security. It supports the secure boot functionality. The SD card attached to Armory stores the OS and security applications. So, by using Armory, a piece of software can prevent you from compromising yourself. An app known as INTERLOCK has been created to live on Armory and do the data encryption stuff for you. It helps you with a web interface where you can use a dashboard for managing your encrypted data. The app is developed for Armory but it can be used on other platforms too.




It can also access Tor and behave as a router to facilitate end-to-end VPN tunneling. You can use Armory as a penetration testing device for finding weaknesses in machines which could be compromised to gain access to the device. The armory-pass is a proof-of-concept browser-based password manager developed by Michael Weissbacher. And if you have some extra Bitcoin money, the device can also behave as a Bitcoin wallet called Electrum.
