Thumb drives are a convenient and cool way to carry around your data, and with drive sizes in the gigabytes, you can store a ton of photos, files, music, and video in a very tiny space. Unfortunately, due to their small sizes, they are targets for information thieves.

You want to have this data handy, but handy for you and not for that scumbag down the hall with the sticky fingers. Like you, the US Military wanted portable but secure storage, and the guys at IronKey stepped up. They’ve developed the perfect solution that’s one-part thumb-drive, and two parts Mission: Impossible. Their thumb drives hold up to 4 Gigabytes of data, but includes a hardware encryption chip that scrambles the data so as to be completely unreadable without a password.

Linux is a flavour of UNIX, an operating system (underlying software that provides an interface between a computer’s hardware and its applications) developed at Bell Laboratories as a private research project by a small group of people starting in 1969. Linux was originally developed in 1991 by Linus Torvalds, then a student at the University of Helsinki, Finland.
