Collaborate Disseminate
I remember reading about the necessity of air gapping the CA computer (never connecting it to any network whatsoever, no USB dongles etc).
I am preparing for setting up a number of certificates (csr’s for signing, client-sides certifica… Continue reading How do I actually air gap my CA computer?
This is a bit of a hypothetical, but I am interested in an answer. First, I understand that no one can protect themselves against three letter organizations, so I am really just wondering about best practices.
Let’s say I ha… Continue reading Best practices for connecting USB key to secure computer?

When you want to protect a computer connected to the Internet against attackers, you usually put it behind a firewall. The firewall controls access to the protected computer. However, you can defeat any lock and there are ways a dedicated attacker can compromise a firewall. Really critical data is often placed on a computer that is “air gapped.” That is, the computer isn’t connected at all to an insecure network.
An air gap turns a network security problem into a physical security problem. Even if you can infect the target system and collect data, you don’t have an easy way …read more

I recently read over Bruce Schneier’s article on setting up an air-gapped computer and am looking to improve my setup (compared to my current “use one Windows PC for everything” model). The main threat I want to protect agai… Continue reading Air-gap implementation for personal computer use
I am currently in the process of setting up an air-gapped computer which will be dedicated to managing cryptographic key (including: generation of GPG key/subkey, management of a small CA, generation of SSH key).
I am wondering if there a… Continue reading Is there a GNU/Linux or BSD distribution dedicated to air-gapped computer? [closed]
