TOR Enabled Sim Card will keep your communication Anonymous

Although technology has overall made life easier, it has made things a lot less private. As a result, you need to be extra careful when you are browsing online, as it very difficult to maintain privacy out there. It is even possible that your ISP or VPN provider is maintaining a log of everything that you do online.

So, how do we protect our online privacy? Brass Horns Communications, a UK-based non-profit internet service provider that focuses on privacy and anti-surveillance services, has an answer for this. The company is currently beta-testing a SIM card that will automatically route your data through Tor, thereby securing online privacy and evading surveillance.

For those unaware, Tor (originally known as The Onion Router) is a free piece of software for enabling anonymous communication. Tor directs Internet traffic through a free, volunteer-operated network of computers around the world to hide a user’s location and usage from anyone conducting network surveillance or traffic analysis. While Tor protects a user’s privacy, it does not hide the fact that someone is using Tor. The most common method through which people access Tor is the Tor Browser Bundle on desktop, or with the Orbot app on Android.

According to Brass Horn’s Onion3G service site, it claims that the “The Onion3G design is a closed network between your 3G device/MiFi/modem and the Brass Horn Comms Tor bridges, this may make the collection of Internet Connection Records (and by extension other forms of bulk surveillance) less effective.”

It also claims that it’s a safer mobile provider because it only issues “private IP addresses to remote endpoints which if ‘leaked’ won’t identify you or Brass Horn Communications as your ISP.”

Brass Horn Onion3G SIM card only has 3G connectivity. In order to use this Tor-dedicated SIM card, it is necessary to install Orbot app on the device. Further, only apps that have a proxy feature, like Twitter, are compatible. Also, it is available only for Android users.

The Tor-SIM card will cost £2.00 per month for a prepaid account. Further, £0.025 will be charged for per Megabyte (MB) transferred over the network. Pre-payment can be topped up at any time using a credit card like Visa, Mastercard, or cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, ZCash or Monero.

Currently, the service is offered in the UK only and is likely to be made available to the public in 2019. Those interested in joining the beta phase can find more information here.

Had you ever imagined of a Cell-Phone without a Battery. Check it Out..!! || techtalksgroup ||

Some years before the basic requirement of any person is simply Food, Cloths, and Shelter but today one more thing is added to this queue at that is Cell-phones . Cell-Phones had become the basic requirements of today user . No work is remained now a days that cannot be performed using a smartphones. Bu the biggest problem that comes with smartphone user is to charge the phone, but suppose a lifestyle where you have to just use the smartphone without getting worry about its battery.

Phone manufacturers are constantly striving to create new products that can run longer on a single battery charge but a team of engineers at the University of Washington (UW) has gone the extra mile: They built a cell phone that doesn't need a battery at all. When radio waves interact with an antenna, the waves induce electricity to flow through the antenna.

While radio waves carry energy and we're surrounded by transmitters generating these waves, this doesn't mean you could power your home by hooking all your electronics to antennas. That's because radio wave propagation follows the inverse-square law — the strength of a radio signal weakens by the square of the distance from the transmitter. It doesn't take long before you're too far from a transmitter to harvest enough electricity to do useful work.

Making a phone call requires that the device you're using has continuous power. "You can't say hello and wait for a minute for the phone to go to sleep and harvest enough power to keep transmitting," said paper co-author Bryce Kellogg, a UW electrical engineering doctoral student, in a press release. "That's been the biggest challenge — the amount of power you can actually gather from ambient radio or light is on the order of 1 or 10 microwatts. So real-time phone operations have been really hard to achieve without developing an entirely new approach to transmitting and receiving speech."

To get around that problem, the team designed a base station that transmits RF signals to the battery-free cell phone. With both the base station and the photodiodes, the phone can operate up to 50 feet or about 15 meters from the base station.

Making a call is simple. You just punch in the phone number you want to call and the circuit board sends this information via radio waves to the base station in a digital packet. The base station takes this data and makes a call on Skype to a cellular network. The station continues to remain in contact with the phone via radio waves, allowing the caller to hear the other side of the conversation. To speak, you just have to hold down a button to activate the microphone.

The simple design means the phone operates on just a few microwatts. Despite the low power approach, the result is pretty amazing.
