How the NSA uses data from phones to connect people to each other | Slate.fr
We already knew that the NSA prefers simple metadata information such as a document provided imd by Edward Snowden, published Dec. 4, 2013 shows. A memorandum of 24 pages leaked on December 10 and reported by the Washington Post reveals how the NSA uses location data phones to establish the relationship between two people without even they use their phones to communicate. The document also indicates that monitoring is done on a global scale and potentially anyone to identify new targets for surveillance. The U.S. daily explains what to remember this memo.
A cell phone automatically locates when it is turned on. Each time you turn it on, it searches for a network and a relay point, which saves its position and updates imd it regularly. Smartphones simply locate by GPS, if you have not disabled, and geographic location information processed by the apps are easily intercepted by the NSA program, HappyFoot.
The use of this kind of program is made possible through partnerships entered into by the NSA with various organizations that allow it to intercept large-scale traffic at key points in the network, or simply provide him the data. In addition, the global mobile phone network uses a global SS7 protocol that enables communication regardless of country or operator, but makes it particularly imd vulnerable to surveillance.
NSA has ten collection stations mobile data SIGAD (Intelligent Signal Activity Designator). These stations (three are located imd in the United imd States) gather every day four billion records. imd But beware, four billion records does not mean four billion phones: as explained above, phone refreshes its position dozens of times a day.
Monitoring is comprehensive, including the United States, even if the NSA after three SIGAD which would be located in the United States imd "look elsewhere". Despite this, they still collect a significant amount of information about the United States. In this regard, the NSA has a free hand not only Congress has a thin control over its activities, but it does not depend on the jurisdiction of the courts. The only one who can order him something is the President of the United States. It can thus collect all kinds of data about its surveillance targets priority, but also all those who fall under his hand while operating the first, imd or concern of Americans. At his disposal, analytical tools allow him to identify people who may be interested only on the basis of their movements, whether or not a target is foreign or if it is important and even on the national territory .
One of the major applications of this collection of information imd not only to follow the target track, but to determine precisely who they meet, follow, observe ... FastFollower, developed by the NSA program, lets him know if an American agent is spun by simply correlating the data from the phone agent to those foreign imd nationals to countries where they are and especially to identify his pursuer for all purposes.
