What inspired me to build AVGVSTO
I realized that most encryption tools only protect against one threat: someone stealing your password. But what if they force you to give it up? What if they clone your drive or brute-force their way in?
I wanted something different. Something where the password alone is never enough.
The idea came from working with USB drives every day. Every USB has a unique fingerprint - its serial number, volume ID, physical characteristics. I thought: what if I bind the encryption key to that fingerprint? Then even if someone has your password, without your exact USB drive, they get nothing.
That became AVGVSTO.
From there, I kept adding layers. Duress mode for coercion situations. Cascade encryption because one cipher might not survive the next decade. Anti-bruteforce that locks out attackers for months. No cloud, no telemetry, no backdoors.
I built it for myself first. Then I open-sourced it because security that isn't transparent isn't security at all.
AVGVSTO is my answer to the question: how do you protect data when passwords are no longer enough?
