Description
The USB Armory is a high-capability, open-hardware platform built for security-conscious applications. It supports trusted-boot, hardware root-of-trust, full Linux distributions, virtualization, and secure key storage.
It is designed to plug into a USB-A port and operate as a self-contained “computer in your pocket”. Onboard are components such as a dual-core ARM processor, onboard flash, SD card slot, and a rich IO interface.
Because the design is entirely open source (hardware schematics, board files, firmware, and software included), you can inspect, adapt, and extend it freely.
Key features include:
Use cases:
Ideal for firmware developers, security auditors, penetration testers, embedded Linux engineers, and IoT/edge gateway designers. Use it for secure key storage, behavioral isolation of sensitive workloads, running a private VPN gateway, performing secure boot development, or building trusted-platform prototypes.
Why choose this over standard hardware?:
Because the USB Armory uses open-hardware and secure-design principles, it gives you transparency and control, unlike many “black-box” solutions. It’s a professional-grade platform in a portable form factor, enabling security-focused development without the footprint of traditional boards.
