I'd like to announce that my book, BeagleBone for Secret Agents, is now
available at the publisher, Packt Publishing:
https://www.packtpub.com/hardware-and-creative/beaglebone-secret-agents
Dead-tree versions will ship soon, so I'm told.
The book is five chapters, with a self contained project in each
one. Each chapter focuses on a different privacy enhancing technology:
Chapter 1: Sets up a complete embedded IDE with Emacs[1].
Chapter 2: Build a Tor bridge and add a front panel interface to the
bridge to adjust the bandwidth usage.
Chapter 3: Explore BeagleBone capes, in particular, the
CryptoCape. Combines a Fingerprint sensor[2] with the ATmega328p on the
Cape.
Chapter 4: Uses the Trusted Platform Module and a keypad to seal a GPG
on the device.
Chapter 5: IRC all the things! Use the BBB to run a IRC Gateway with
BiltBee and ZNC and configure Off-the-record messaging on each.
Happy Hacking!

[1] I consider Emacs a privacy enhancing technology.
[2] Fingerprint sensors are a bit privacy-removing, but I discuss that
in the book
