AVGVSTO USB 3.1.3

What it does

AVGVSTO is the first fully open‑source encryption suite that binds your files to the physical fingerprint of any USB drive. AES‑256, ChaCha20, duress mode, anti‑bruteforce — 100% transparent, 100% offline.

AVGVSTO fuses your password with the physical fingerprint of any USB drive. Without the exact hardware, decryption is impossible — even with the correct password. Anti‑bruteforce. Duress mode. Cascade ciphers. Zero telemetry. Zero cloud. Every cryptographic decision is visible, auditable, and reproducible. No black boxes. serial + volumeID merged into key via PBKDF2. Any USB works, cloning fails. Authenticated encryption, indistinguishable from random. Choose your cipher or cascade both. Exponential backoff up to 1 month. Hardware‑bound lockout, no reset bypass. Duress password reveals a decoy. Real data is mathematically hidden in the same container. AES‑256 → ChaCha20 with independent…from avgvstousb.com

  Open-source private home security camera system (end-to-end encryption)May 2026 · github.com · ▲137

  Hey everyone, I previously introduced an open source private home security camera in 2024, which uses OpenMLS for end-to-end encryption: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42284412. It was called Privastead then and it's now renamed to Secluso. John Kaczman found my project from here and has been working on it with me over the last year and half. We've made a lot of improvements to the software, which we would like to share with you: - You can now set this up on your Raspberry Pi in less than 5 minutes with no technical expertise using our easy-to-use GUI deploy tool. We've…

  Confidential computing for high-assurance RISC-V embedded systems2025 · github.com · ▲103

  Dear HN community! Looking forward to hearing your feedback on ACE (assured confidential execution), technology that implements VM-based trusted execution environment (TEE) for embedded RISC-V systems with focus on a formally verified and auditable firmware. We target high-assurance systems that can benefit from compartmentalization and hardware-backed isolation. The key ingredient called security monitor (firmware) is implemented in Rust. The formal specification is defined as annotations directly in code and gets translated to Coq using RefinedRust automation. ACE design is now part of the…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
