While creating Cryptoucan™, I had the opportunity to also practice my other skills. Today, I would like to briefly explain how the music for the videos was made and how the infamous Pretty Good Privacy a.k.a. Cryptoucan™ song was made. Read on to learn something about music production on GNU/Linux!

After some months of intensive testing and specifying all the details of the batch manufacturing process, we have given it a green light and in a few weeks, we expect to have first hundreds of Cryptoucans™ in stock. Read on to see what the final stages of testing were like.

Although Cryptoucan™ is a cryptographic - security - device, it contains delicate electric circuitry and certain electronic components can produce significant amount of heat should there be any soldering problem. Therefore the device safety is also of utmost importance for us. Read on to see how we make sure no short circuit heats up more than it should.

With symmetric key to protect all Cryptoucan™ secrets, it is necessary to use it properly both for symmetric encryption of the private data but also for ensuring the integrity of whatever is stored on the flash memory. Read on to learn more about our cipher and message authentication code of choice.

Developing a cryptographic device requires going through all different parts of the system to deliver something the user can really trust. Read on to see why you should care what cryptographic primitives and how your devices use internally.
