Open Secure-K OS is an operating system booting from a USB key in which you can safely create and store your personal and private data.
It is an advanced Debian Bullseye Linux-based live USB operating system built for security: user and system data are saved encrypted within the USB key (AES 512bit), so the system can be used as a clean and safe environment for your on-line security-critical activities. Moreover Open Secure-K OS does not rely on the PC hard drive and, being a Linux derivative, it’s immune to most viruses and it’s spyware / adware / backdoor free.
Open Secure-K OS features a unique partitioning scheme – it is liveng-compliant, which allows complete system and kernel update with a read-only system partition.
Unique system features are:
- Native encrypted persistence,
- Kernel update (on a ISO9660 filesystem, which is the best option for a live operating system because of its strength against data corruption and tampering);
- UEFI boot with a real efi partition.
- User creation wizard upon the first boot.

What's a Linux distribution ("distro")? |
| A distro provides the user with a desktop environment, preloaded applications, and ways to update and maintain the system. Each distro makes different choices, deciding which open source projects to install and provides custom written programs. They can have different philosophies. Some distros are intended for desktop computers, some for servers without a graphical interface, and others for special uses. Because Linux is an open source operating system, combinations of software vary between Linux distros. |
