How to Stay Anonymous Online

-
Staying Anonymous online is safe to use when you dont want your presence in Internet to be found.Staying anaonymous online can protect people living under repressive regimes.
But many vulnerabilities in some the popular networks like Tor, has raised eyebrows.

How does it work??

The importance of system lies in the series of servers called mixnet.The server changes the oreder of information from one point to another.Imagine there are three friends,Bruce,Clark and Stark searching on Google.The information sent be 1,2,3 repectively.The information received by the servers can 1,3,2 or 3,2,1 or in any order.Then the information sent by the second server can modify the pattern of information being sent and can be of order 2,3,1 or 2,1,3 and so on.This is process of alterations keeps on continuing.

A bad event for  example which had tracked the origin points of these messages would have no idea of the time and the pattern in which the messages have exited the last server.This kind of encryption is called onion encryption.The messages are shieldeed by layers of encryption.MIT researchers have developed a new anonymity network called Riffle.

Cyber Security, Internet Security


Riffle

Riffle works in a way called verifable shuffle.The encryption is done in such a way that messages sent to the server can generate a mathemattical proof that the messages it sends are different patterns of valid messages.Verifying the authenticity of messages can take lot of time and can also slow down the network.So, riffle uses a technique called authentication encryption which verifies autheticity of encrypted messages.

Is Riffle going to be the future for anonymity or is it not??

Multiverse

Multiverse: The evolution of human beings has been a topic of great interest but the most important thing is the birth of our universe itself and the possibilities of different universes like ours.In the recent times, the scientists have confirmed the possibility of a multiverse. Multiverse is the existence of different universes each having a version of itself.To make things simpler, let us assume we live in the first version of earth and there are many version of earth.In Earth 1(our world) let us assume ourselves as a taxi driver who is always good at whatever he does.But, the same person in other versions of the earth may not be the taxi driver but can be anyone leading to millions of possibilities.The observable universe is 46.8 billion years making it difficult task for finding out the possibilities of a universe which is same as ours.    Proofs Of Multiverse Cosmic Microwave  Background radiation is useful in predicting the origin of the universe as it helps in th

Diabetes And Obesity can cause Cancer

Diabetes and obesity are both deadly.With the rapid rise in technology and busy schedule, most of us suffer from diabetes or obesity.Global Diabetic Statistics shows that nearly 1 in 11 adults have diabetes.Nearly 12% of global health expenditure or nearly 673 billion dollars is being spent on curing Diabetes.Obesity is scary too.According to the data from NHANES, nearly 2 in 3 adults were considered to be obese. But, now researchers have Imperial College London have found that Diabetes And obesity together account for more cancer deaths.Researchers collected data from nearly 175 countries on 12 different types of cancer.They found that nearly 800,000 cancer deaths were reported. As individual risk factors, obesity is considered twice as much as risky as diabetes.544,300 cases of cancer were reported due to obesity while  280,100 cases were reported due to diabetes. Be Careful Cancers caused due to obesity and diabetes were almost twice as common in women than in men, accou
