Edward Snowden, the famous NSA analyst who disclosed many secrets of the agency he worked for, is now in the process of developing a case for the iPhone that is meant to secure user conversations, or to completely block access to the SIM card, even when the phone should be closed.
In the case you see in the image below, a SIM card is inserted, the case connecting to the SIM slot of our iPhone terminals to tell us when someone is trying to intercept a telephone conversation, and when you want not to be located and use Airplane Mode, this case offers additional protection.
The case interconnects with some sensors of our iPhones and is able to receive data from GPS or Bluetooth, and if we want to completely disconnect the device from the network, it has an oscilloscope that interrupts any kind of radio transmissions to and from our devices.
Their add-on would appear to be little more than an external battery case with a small mono-color screen. But it would function as a kind of miniature, form-fitting oscilloscope: Tiny probe wires from that external device would snake into the iPhone's innards through its SIM-card slot to attach to test points on the phone's circuit board. (The SIM card itself would be moved to the case to offer that entry point.) Those wires would read the electrical signals to the two antennas in the phone that are used by its radios, including GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and cellular modem .
Edward Snowden presented the accessory today through a video stream directly from Moscow and it will probably be launched at one point or another on the market, but for now it is not known what the final price might be, or when it can be bought.
