Forging the USB armory

Inverse Path recently introduced the USB armory project (http://inversepath.com/usbarmory), an open source hardware design, implementing a flash drive sized computer for security applications. The USB armory is a compact USB powered device that provides a platform for developing and running a variety of applications. The security features of the USB armory System on a Chip (SoC), combined with the openness of the board design, empower developers and users with a fully customizable USB trusted device for open and innovative personal security applications. The presentation will cover the journey that we have taken to develop the USB armory board from scratch, explaining the lessons learned and its prospected applications.
