Tor Browser Bundle-prevents somebody watching your Internet connection

Tor Browser Bundle-prevents somebody watching your Internet connection | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

What is the Tor Browser Bundle (TBB)?

 

The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked.

 

The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained. Learn more.

Japan aims to monitor Internet-based communications

Japan aims to monitor Internet-based communications | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

After having agreed on a draft of an official cybersecurity strategy earlier this month, Japan's National Information Security Center (NISC) is looking to establish a Cyber Security Center - an agency equivalent to the U.S. NSA - and allow it to monitor Internet-based communications.

In order for such actions to be legal, it is necessary first to change some laws, namely Article 21 of the Japanese Constitution and Article 4 of Japan’s Telecommunications Business Law.
