“There is no software that can fully replace the massive collection, when it comes to exploring new måltavlors past.”
Det finds a committee of renowned US IT researchers and cyber experts led by Robert F. Sproull, Adjunct Professor of Computer Science at the University of Massachussettes and former Director of Oracle Labs. The group is also persons of high-level working in US intelligence.
They now – on behalf of US President Barack Obama – examined how the NSA signals intelligence organization, the National Security Agency, may reduce or limit his acclaimed large-scale electronic mass surveillance, as revealed by Edward Snowden.
Obama held last January a speech to the nation regarding Snow Dens revelations about NSA.s work.
Shortly thereafter, he issued a presidential decree who was that man should investigate the possibility of creating software that clearer than today makes intelligence gathering focused on certain goals.
The aim would be to reduce the controversial so-called mass or bulk collection and thus integritetsintrången in people’s private lives.
The answer is yes, according to the American researchers Now in a report published on Thursday and can be read here.
NSA’s search of information via the internet and telecom systems in the world partly carried out manually to other parts through automated systems and software.
The latter is possible to develop and hone in different ways, now state committee. Among other things, so that the search rules become more stringent and creates more control over the collection, compared to today.
New algorithms are proposed also developed in order that with more automation than today curtail NSA personnel’s ability to search for information in databases. It also wants to increase opportunities to subsequently be able to automatically revise and examine how data is used and how the logs look.
The Committee also points that the boundaries between the collection of bulk and information gathering directed towards specific goals or targets, is vague.
The breakdown suggests that targeted intelligence is not the same as massive collection.
But even gathering called oriented and covers only selected targets can in itself constitute the bulk of data collection, finds man.
The group believes instead that the bulk collection should be defined as a gathering where a significant amount of collected data can not be linked to the goal or target (current targets) which signal detection is supposed to cover.
“From a technical view, involves a circumscribed bulk collection that analysts are deprived of certain information, says committee leader Robert F. Sproull, to The New York Times.
But, he says, too. This “does not necessarily mean that the current bulkínsamlingen must continue.
Looking to the future tracks Committee that mass surveillance will spread to cover new areas, such as Stuff The Internet. But even technologies that protect electronic information is rapidly developing.
