Ask HN: Building a secure laptop for sensitive work data
Due to recent events at my work I now have a need for a secure laptop for sending and receiving sensitive data to clients. I'm going to buy a laptop for use when working on sensitive data but I need help on setting it up with the right tools and configuration.
I've read a couple articles and done some preliminary research so I have some ideas. I'm not interested in trying to use TAILS. Here's what I have so far:
- Debian OS - Tor Browser - PGP encryption of all outgoing files and emails - some kind of full-disk encryption (Truecrypt?)
I have two questions as well: 1. If I travel with the laptop and airport security asks for my password to unlock FDE, is there anyway to protect against being forced to give them the key?
2. How should I transfer files to and from the laptop? USB key?
