Other "secure" smartphones have proprietary applications and closed operating systems that can often hide vulnerabilities due to their closed code, exposing users to potential risks. Ever wonder why? What do they have to hide?
In contrast, AXShield™ uses open-source applications that offer greater security and privacy by allowing public scrutiny, ensuring no hidden backdoors or data practices, and giving users full control over their data.
Robust Hardware Security: The Core Components
AXShield™ incorporates advanced security hardware designed to safeguard your data and protect your device from threats:
- Tensor Security Chip: Ensures secure processing, encryption, and isolation of sensitive data, such as biometrics.
- Titan M2 Security Module: Provides hardware-level protection for boot processes, securing sensitive data from physical attacks.
- Hardware-Based Encryption: Encrypts device storage, safeguarding photos, messages, and passwords from unauthorized access.
- Verified Boot: Validates the integrity of the operating system during startup, preventing tampering or unauthorized modifications.
- Biometric Security: Fingerprint and face unlock systems are secured by dedicated hardware, ensuring biometric data is stored in an isolated environment.
- Private Compute Core: Handles on-device AI processing, ensuring sensitive data like voice and image recognition is processed locally.
- Anti-Tampering Measures: Detects and resists physical tampering to prevent unauthorized access to internal components.
Solid Foundation: The Operating System
AXShield™ leverages GrapheneOS™, a privacy and security-focused operating system built on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP):
- Granular Permission Controls: Grant location access on a case-by-case basis, it’s your choice.
- Sensor Privacy Toggles: Disable GPS, bluetooth, mics and cameras at the system level.
- No Default Network Location Providers: Avoids reliance on Google™ Play or the Apple™ App Store for network-based location tracking.
- No Built-In Backdoors: Govt, Cell Phone Companies & Big Tech are banned.
- Airplane Mode and GPS Control: Fully disables network-based tracking, unlike other "Airplane Modes".
Email, Contacts & Calendars: Encrypted, Private, Anonymous
AXShield™ includes Tuta™ Mail, the most secure email provider in the world.
- All-round encryption, no tracking, open source.
- Email, Contacts and Calendar are all encrypted by default.
- ECDH (x25519) Kyber-1024 quantum-safe cryptography.
- Only you and your intended recipients can access your emails...even Tuta™ Mail is unable to view your data.
- Set up "Confidential" emails that require recipients to enter a password to open it.
- Others like Proton™ Mail provide end-to-end encryption, but Tuta™ Mail goes further with post-quantum cryptography, safeguarding against future quantum computing threats.
- Tuta™ Mail requires no phone number for setup, enhancing your privacy.
You can even opt to have us set up your account, further strengthening your anonymity. Then the moment you activate your AXShield™ phone, you gain full control - just change your password and your email security is entirely in your hands.
Messaging: Encrypted Texts, Voice & Video Calls
AXShield™ includes Signal™, Session™, and Briar™, the top encrypted messaging platforms on earth, securing your communications.
AXShield™ goes above and beyond to ensure your privacy with Signal™, Session™, and Briar™ pre-loaded on every device. We provide these three apps so you have options—each designed to offer a different level of privacy, letting you choose which app fits your needs best. Use one, use all, or simply remove the ones you don’t want.
Session™ is the next step if you’re looking for more anonymity. It removes the need for a phone number or email entirely, generating a Session ID instead. Using onion-routing to anonymize message paths, Session hides both your identity and metadata, making it ideal for users who want maximum privacy.
Briar™ is the ultimate solution for those in situations where internet or cell service isn’t available. Briar™ is built for those who need secure, censorship-resistant communication without relying on central servers. Ideal for activists, journalists, and users in crisis situations. Unlike the other two apps, Briar can sync messages over Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or even SD cards, making it ideal for communication during blackouts or in areas without a stable network. Its decentralized structure means there’s no central server to target, making it resistant to penetration.
Signal™ is perfect for daily use with family, friends, and co-workers, even if they’re not on the other platforms. Widely adopted and trusted globally, Signal offers end-to-end encryption for calls, texts, and media, and while it requires a phone number for registration, it keeps sensitive data separate from communications.
With AXShield™ you can choose the level of privacy you need—whether it’s Signal for everyday use, Session for more anonymity, or Briar for communication in challenging environments. The choice is yours.
- You can even opt to have us set up your Messaging accounts, further strengthening your anonymity. Then the moment you activate your AXShield™ phone, you gain full control - just change your passwords.
Maps & Navigation: Private, Untracked, No Ads
Your privacy is paramount. That’s why AXShield™ comes standard with Organic Maps™, the perfect choice for owners who don’t want to be tracked, whether physically or by Ads, while using maps to navigate.
- Privacy First: Unlike Google Maps™, Waze™, and Apple Maps™, which track your location and collect data, Organic Maps™ never tracks or stores your data.
- Ad-Free Experience: Unlike other apps with ads and promotions, Organic Maps™ provides a clean, distraction-free experience so you can focus on your journey.
- Offline Access: With Organic Maps™, you can download maps and use them offline, with no limitations like those in Google Maps.
- Community-Driven Accuracy: Organic Maps™ offers reliable, open-source, up-to-date information from a global community.
Secure Encrypted Backups with SeedVault™
AXShield™ secures your data with the optional SeedVault™, encrypting backups with an owner-defined passphrase. Whether stored locally or in the cloud, SeedVault ensures your data stays private. Combined with robust security from AXShield™, you have full control, safeguarding your information from unauthorized access.
Hiding in Plain Sight: Spoofing, Boxing, Shielding
- Optional Location Spoofing: Supports apps that allow owners to spoof their location, masking true GPS data. (* Note - Spoofing GPS data may not be allowed in some jurisdictions, so check your local laws first before attempting.)
- System Integrity and Sandboxing: Provides enhanced protection and stricter app sandboxing to prevent unauthorized access to location data.
- Faraday Sleeve: Each AXShield™ ships with a Faraday sleeve that isolates the device from all radio frequency signals, including cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth™, and GPS. Place it in the sleeve when idle – you control all incoming and outgoing signals.
Enhanced Anonymity with Pre-Paid SIM Cards
AXShield™ further enhances your anonymity with the option of pre-paid SIM cards. Freedom to roam, freedom to choose - any network, worldwide.
Pre-paid SIM cards reduce the need to provide personal information, minimizing traceability. Top-up these SIM cards with cash, further reducing your digital footprint.
For those who value privacy, using a pre-paid SIM card with your AXShield™ device’s advanced security features offers a more secure and anonymous communication experience.
Optional VPN Protection
In today’s digital world, protecting your online activities is crucial. As an AXShield™ owner, you already possess a powerful tool for securing your digital life.
To further elevate your security and privacy, we offer a VPN service tailored specifically for your AXShield™ device.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) masks your IP address and encrypts your internet connection, securing all data transmitted from your device.
