What is the Queb® Brand?
Queb® Products are Secure Communication Edge Devices
Zero Trust – Keeping private data, private
This Edge Device is a computer based appliance that sits on the edge of the Internet. The Queb® SoHoMe™ acts as your home communication gateway to the world. The Queb® Enterprise is an Edge gateway for large volume business activities. Both enable secure communications from point to point, both provide The Red Pill® CyberSecurity Suite, and both enable Zero Trust data management.
Unless you have an IT department, you probably don’t know what Zero Trust is and you probably depend on a Firewall for your home, retail, or small office protection. The recent rash of malware, viruses, stolen Identities, is because if anyone can get you to click on a trojan horse in your email or on websites, the hackers have complete internal access to your computers, network, and other devices.
Zero Trust is a primary component of the Queb® Family which protects your information by enforcing strict ownership and authentication architecture. Quebs take it a step further by unique data owner encryption of each and every object, making all data unreadable whether the power is on or off.
Many devices provide VPN tunnels, many have anti-virus, and many have apps to do VoIP, Video, or other services. Each of these are prone to leak information, to lose control, and to be held hostage to malware. Read on below to discover why SohoStar’s Queb® family is in a different class.
What Does The Queb® Do For Me?
The Red Pill® Brand provides privacy, security, and stops censorship.
Your Queb® has a Dashboard with all of the posting, comments, and dialog, combined with Unified Messaging (all of your email, chat, voice mail, picture sharing, etc) in one place, supported by cyber-security, connected to your social hive by encrypted Networking and stored in your home network rather than 3rd party servers.
Social Media Communications and Control
The Queb® is a full Federated All-in-One Communication Platform like Friendica, Mastodon/Truth, or Diaspora. You access the Fifth™ Dashboard experience through your local browser or through our future Mobile app. The difference between the Queb® and other platforms is that all of your content is stored locally in your Queb® or within your local network. You control who has access to your pictures, posts, or information and even the posts are protected.
Unified Messaging
Unified messaging is integrated into Queb® merging your address book into your friends and associates list. Unified messaging combines VoIP voicemail and videomail with your email. The Queb® speaks all email protocols allowing you to fetch mail from 3rd party servers (Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc) and store it locally. Queb® Users can also get a SohoStar email address.
Cyber-Security
Through SohoStar CyberSecurity Services: CidrPress™, WhereIsFido™, and VoirDire, The Red Pill® Suite provides domain name services and IP address threat-scoring based on collected incident history. Mail and surfing activities for example, verify every contact and page link for prior threat history including redirection, spoofing, and phishing. Combined with Nick-name routing, the Fifth™ dashboard exposes and traps bad links that appear to be real.
Encrypted Networking
SohoStar’s products use our own proprietary encryption between Quebs®, but also speaks VPN protocols to connect Quebs to non-Quebs. Paid VPNs who have all of your location and financial data simply extend their network to you using a SSL tunnel. Queb® however, provides a Zero Trust credential controlled content gateway which prevents access to anything you’ve restricted. SohoStar also provides VPN services through our servers.
Your Queb® contains a SCIF
The Queb® contains a SCIF – Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility in hardware. The SCIF is not accessible from the Internet and provides on-board battery backed up, secure storage for your records, passwords, digital wallet, personal information, medical records, content keys, and other data.
The SCIF provides Digital Rights Management (DRM), protecting content from piracy while providing authentication and verification of the author. SohoStar’s publishing service enables multiple revenue and billing models based on time, usage, outright purchase or through subscriptions. SohoStar and the SCIF enable global publishing and anti-piracy distribution to any Queb®, which conforms legally to the DMCA. The DMCA – The Digital Millennium Copyright Act is a United States copyright law to prevent piracy.
Combined with SohoStar’s publishing services, the SCIF enables a user to create and access secure property that can be shared and openly distributed without loss of property value. The technology includes the ability to maintain complete security, authentication, and ownership and provides a usage trail. The Red Pill® protects intellectual property by ensuring that encrypted content remains that way, and that Intranet-working within your home or office maintains that protection.
Your Privacy Is Important
Your Queb® is your personal vault, so it doesn’t make sense that anyone else should have your keys except you. There are 3 pieces of data that are public: Your Queb’s ID, Your Queb’s IP address, and Your Public key. SohoStar also offers opt-in domain name services allowing others to find you if you register a SohoStar sub-domain or your own global domain. We can direct email, and web surfing from users and friends even if you don’t have a fixed IP address.
YOUR PUBLIC KEY
A Public Key is used for one-way encryption for things sent to you and to verify your digital signature. SohoStar uses your key when sending you updates, and other may use it when sending email, messages, or other content. If SohoStar ever accepts a message on your behalf, the contents are immediately encrypted so that even WE can’t read it.
YOUR IP ADDRESS
Your IP is visible to your ISP and EVERYWHERE you visit on the Web. Because most people have dynamic addresses that change, we keep your IP address to be able to support you. You can restrict us from storing it, or share it, only with your approval to support your own domain name or if other Quebs are trying to connect to you.
YOUR Queb’S ID
Every Queb® has a unique ID embedded in its system. The ID is never exposed publicly. SohoStar uses the ID to find your Public Key to prepare authenticated software updates or to forward messages. The Queb® ID is not human usable, but assists when connecting to other Quebs.
YOUR DOMAIN NAME
Some people will register a Domain Name for their business or organization. SohoStar also offers sub-domains (yourname.queb.io) on our queb.io domain. You can opt in for these extras for the general public, or restrict the lookup just to other Quebs. Domain Name Services for your Queb® and entire home or business network is managed by SohoStar’s WhereIsFido™ service under The Red Pill® brand.
Value Proposition
The Queb® is intended to be a one time purchase. What you are paying for is a standalone personal communication server. The software (DAVID™ Operating System, and its applications) is licensed to a single Queb® and is not available separately nor can it be transferred to a PC or phone. The hardware has consumables (battery, flash storage) however, other than extreme conditions, they should provide service for many years. The hardware has a 1 yr warranty. Software updates will always be free.
It is IMPORTANT to confirm that The Red Pill® security suite apps (DNS, threat scoring and Queb® IP discovery) are inherent to the operating of Queb™ and there are not fees for these services.
The value proposition is about being secure in your person and effects by storing your information and communications within the Constitutional protection of your physical property. SohoStar recommends that the Queb® owner performs backups to a physical drive that can be placed in a secure location (such as a Bank vault box). SohoStar does not have the ability to decode the SCIF’s contents.
Every other social media application provides free service, but the infrastructure is paid for by selling user information and advertising. To put this into perspective, the largest social media company has a value of nearly $400 Billion, which supports more than 2 Billion users, worldwide. Is it fair to say that the unit value of a single user is at least $200?
What is the value of your security, privacy, and your rights on the Internet?
