The well-known anonymous communication system has created a prototype for Nexus and Google Pixel that can thoroughly safeguard users' privacy and sensitive data
The future of smartphones is at a crossroads. On the one hand, technological developments lead to continuous innovations. On the other hand, our every gesture leaves a trace on the Net and undermines the privacy of users. That's why Tor has come up with a new system for smartphones to defend their personal data.
The Tor platform on Android. Tor is a well-known system of anonymous communication on the Internet. A developer of this software, Mike Perry, has let it be known that the company has created a prototype for mobile that can show how an Android smartphone can be much more secure than the ones we currently use. The name of the prototype is "Mission Unlikely." Esso utilizza come sistema operativo Copperhead, che rende molto più sicura la privacy dell’utente. E usa anche OrWall, un firewall Android che gestisce tutto il traffico attraverso Tor. L’azienda non ha intenzione di creare un proprio dispositivo ma appoggiarsi a realtà già esistenti.

Il prototipo attualmente funziona solo con Nexus e sui nuovi Google Pixel. Poiché questi sono gli unici dispositivi in commercio compatibili con il sistema. Anche se gli sviluppatori hanno fatto sapere che questo è solo un primo passo e il loro obiettivo è quello di espandere questo sistema di sicurezza per la privacy a gran parte degli smartphone attualmente sul mercato. Perry let it be known that the aim is to make people understand that it is possible to create even a smartphone that doesn't jeopardize our freedom on a daily basis. For now though, the "Mission Unlikely" prototype can't be used by most smartphone owners, Perry says that in order to successfully install it and use it to its full potential you need to have a very good knowledge of Linux. If you have the skills, you can download the "Mission Unlikely" file via GitHub.
