S.NSA has announced specifications for its first product, the Cardano, a USB stick-style device to be used for the purpose of GPG-signing and decrypting with total security, even on potentially compromised machines.

Full spec, use cases, etc available here.

A smattering of details published today: Cardano pricing, a few physical unit specs, and a shot of the S.NSA t-shirt, to be an extra prize with certain orders.

Full details here.

With T-shirts like that how could anyone buy less than 3?

To my untrained eye, it looks like there are 3 places for buttons, but no toggle switch!
I really liked the idea of a big red switch with a cover, for one thing because it's practical, and for another thing it conveys the importance of using it belligerently rather than whimsically.
It's hard to make out, but one of the buttons I think is labeled "reset", what are the other 2 for?
