Hi guys,
I was wondering if someone knows how to make OpenPGP run from USB alone.
Backdrop: I just got me this fancy ol' Ironkey. And everything I need for the SR ways is on there, so nuthin' runs from my main machine. Seeing as SR could go down and that hand C/Ping encrypted messages back and forth can be a pain in the arse, I got Thunderbird portable so I can email with people.
Now, the problem of course is that with enigmail I still have to install OpenPGP on the main machine, and therein lies the crux, the stored keys are in plain view, and of course if worst came to worst I wouldn't want anyone seeing software filled with keys with names like Silkroad_Benzoking@blablabla.
Now of course that HD is truecrypted already. But still, I'd feel much better if EVERYTHING dealing with our business here was completely stashed away on that Ironkey. I googled on end with terms like "portable OpenPGP" or "relocate OpenPGP keyring" but the results are not really what I need. (Either that, or my inductive and deductive reasoning is still too impaired from...well....you know :P)
Any help or ideas or hints would be greatly appreciated.
Peace all n thx in advance...

I need some help with this.. what all did you install on your USB? did you install a bootable OS like TAILS or something? What are the essentials?

id highly recommend tails. it takes care of everything for you and you know that you are not leaking anything to the internet that doesnt go through tor. i have one computer that only runs tails for tor for security purposes. it comes with all the browsing/net software youd need.
