秘密黑匣子探针将监测网活动
星期六, 2009年5月2日
间谍院长在英国紧迫向前以秘密计划由Jacqui史密斯,家庭秘书,大臣climbdown结束公开监视监测所有互联网用途和电话尽管公告。 GCHQ,政府的窃听的中心,在英国开发被分类的技术拦截和监测所有电子邮件、网站参观和社会网络会议。 代办处也能跟踪电话被做在互联网,并且所有电话登陆线和机动性。 £1十亿调查的项目-叫掌握互联网(MTI) -将依靠数以万计“横跨网上基础设施隐蔽地被插入的黑匣子”探针。 最高机密的节目开始去年被实施,但它的存在通过GCHQ工作广告疏忽地被透露了运载了计算机贸易press。 上星期,在什么看来是让步对保密性运动家,史密斯宣布她在英国放弃有争议的计划为了一个唯一“哥哥”数据库能存放在中心所有通信数据。 “政府认可了移动的保密性涵义[和]因此不提议追求这移动”,她说。 劫掠的有利标题,史密斯宣布由£2决定公开金钱在分开的数据库改为将花费帮助私有互联网和电话公司的十亿保留信息12个月。 然而,她没有提及坚固另外的总和-共计更多比£1十亿在三年期间-已经被分配了到GCHQ为它的MTI节目。 Shami Chakrabarti,自由的主任,说史密斯的公告看来是“烟幕”。 因为它给了状态直接存取大家的通信, “我们反对哥哥数据库。 但黑匣子这个网络通过后门达到同一件事”, Chakrabarti说。 消息来源显露£200m合同被授予了洛克希德马丁公司,美国防御巨人。 第二个合同被给了Detica,英国它有密切联系对情报机构的企业。 来源在Cheltenham, Gloucestershire郊外认为Iain Lobban, GCHQ主任,监督巨型的新的复合体的建筑在代办处的“多福饼”总部里面。 A huge room of super-computers will help the agency to monitor — and record — data passing through black-box probes placed at critical traffic junctions with internet service providers and telephone companies, allowing GCHQ to spy at will. An industry insider, who has been briefed on GCHQ’s plans, said he could not discuss the programme because he had signed the Official Secrets Act. However, he admitted that the project would mark a step change in the agency’s powers of surveillance. At the moment the agency is able to use probes to monitor the content of calls and e-mails sent by specific individuals who are the subject of police or security service investigations. Every interception must be authorised by a warrant signed by the home secretary or a minister of equivalent rank. The new GCHQ internet-monitoring network will shift the focus of the surveillance state away from a few hundred targeted people to everyone in the UK. “Although the paper [work] does not say it, its clear implication is that those kinds of probes should be extended to cover the entire population for the purposes of monitoring communications data,” said the industry source. GCHQ placed an advertisement in the specialist IT press for a head of major contracts to be given “operational responsibility for the ‘Mastering the Internet’ (MTI) contract”. The senior official, to be paid an annual salary of up to £100,000, would lead the procurement of the hardware and the analysis tools needed to build and run the system. Ministers have said they do not intend to snoop on the actual content of e-mails or telephone calls. The monitoring will instead focus on who an individual is communicating with or which websites and chat rooms they are visiting. Advocates of the black-box system say it is essential if the authorities are to keep pace with the communications revolution. They say terrorists are stateless, highly mobile and their communications are difficult to detect among the billions of pieces of data passing through the internet. Last year about 14% of telephone calls were made using voice over internet protocol (Voip) systems such as Skype. A report by a group of privy counsellors predicts that most calls will be made via the internet within five years. GCHQ said it did not want to discuss how the data it gathered would be used.
