By Peter Kornbluh/ senior analyst at the National Security Archive, a nonprofit research center in Washington that advocates for declassification and freedom of information/ Twitter: @peterkornbluh February 28, 2020 The revelation that the CIA secretly co-owned the world’s leading manufacturer of encryption machines, and rigged those devices to conduct espionage on more than 100 nations that purchased them for more than half a century, has generated a number of historical and ethical questions: What did U.S. officials know, and when did they know it, about key episodes in recent world history? How did U.S. policymakers act on the intelligence that was gathered? Did U.S. officials have an obligation, as The Washington Post’s Greg Miller put it, to “expose or stop human rights violations unfolding in their view”? Should the United States have been spying on friends and foes alike? But the most immediate question has yet to be answered: What should the United States do with the massive trove of intercepted communications it obtained and decrypted, along with the thousands of secret intelligence reports those intercepts generated? Those files are gathering dust in the SCIFs — the sensitive compartmented information facilities — of the CIA and the National Security Agency. Hidden away, the documents represent a history held hostage; they have the potential to significantly advance the historical record, not only on U.S. foreign policy but on key world crises and events (wars, coups, terrorist attacks, peace accords) over more than five decades.

    How the US and Germany Fooled the World for Decades Cmdr. (res.) Eyal Pinko (Competitive Intelligence and Cyber Consulting, Ph.D. candidate Strategy, Defense and Intelligence studies, Bar Ilan University, Israel) Copyright: Research Institute for European and American Studies (www.rieas.gr) - Publication date: 23 February 2020 Note: The article reflects the opinion of the author and not necessarily the views of the Research Institute for European and American Studies (RIEAS) The American and German intelligence communities used Crypto AG, a Swiss company that made encryption tools, to spy on more than 100 countries. Intelligence gathered through this joint operation is said to have influenced the Israel-Egypt peace talks, the Falklands War, and the Iran-Iraq war, among others Recently uncovered information indicates that the American NSA and the BND (the German foreign intelligence service) have been cooperating since the 1970s, and have conducted joint intelligence gathering operations for decades, collecting information about more than 100 different countries. The cooperative operation was given the codename “Rubikon” and is considered one of the largest of its kind in history. Rubikon involved such activities as remote penetration of radio communications, of landlines, and more recently - of cellular phones. It included tracing phones and listening in on calls. The targets included politicians, senior government officials, members of the military and ambassadors. The NSA-BND cooperation began with a joint investment in a company called Crypto AG, which is registered in Lichtenstein and operated in Switzerland. It was founded by Boris Hagelin – an Azerbaijan-born businessman and inventor of encryption machines. Following the rise of communism, Hagelin and his wife fled the Soviet Union to Norway.

  • AUX ETATS-UNIS Claude DELESSE
    DU RÉSEAU ECHELON A LA « RÉVOLUTION DES AFFAIRES DE RENSEIGNEMENT » AUX ETATS-UNIS par Claude DELESSE (*) La découverte ingénue par l’Europe du réseau Echelon L’existence du réseau technologique d’espionnage et de contre-espionnage américain du nom de code Echelon a été révélée à l’opinion en 1988 lors de l’affaire du Watergate par deux reporters du Cleveland Plain Dealer (Ohio), C. Epstein et John S. Long (1). C’est l’enquête du journaliste britannique Duncan Campbell (2), commencée la même année, qui alerta l’Europe. En 1996, un journaliste néo-zélandais, Nicky Hager, réussit à s’infiltrer dans une base secrète du réseau. De l’intérieur du système, une poignée d’agents, choqués par les pratiques de leur service, n’hésitèrent pas à sacrifier leur carrière en dénonçant les orientations illégales de ce réseau d’écoutes (ce fut le cas notamment de Fred Stock, qui alerta des parlementaires et engagea des plaintes contre l’agence canadienne, lesquelles furent étouffées pendant cinq ans et laissées sans suite). Divers mouvements de protestation s’organisèrent en Grande- Bretagne, où des militantes féministes, bravant arrestations, évacuations musclées, procès et prison, harcelèrent épisodiquement la plus grosse station d’écoute anglaise dans le Yorkshire, Menwith Hill (3). Elles campèrent aux alentours, fouillèrent les poubelles, découpèrent les grilles de sécurité et pénétrèrent dans les lieux. D’autres activistes, en octobre 1999, tentèrent d’engorger les ordinateurs du réseau en envoyant des e-mails bourrés de mots-clefs provocateurs. L’Europe découvrit ainsi progressivement un réseau d’espionnage qui semblait fonctionner en partie à son détriment.

    INTELLIGENCE AND NATIONAL SECURITY https://doi.org/10.1080/02684527.2020.1798604 ARTICLE The impact of ‘Tempest’ on Anglo-American communications security and intelligence, 1943–1970 David Easter ABSTRACT This article examines the impact of the discovery by Britain and the United States in the late 1940s/early 1950s that cipher machines produced com­ promising emissions, a phenomenon which became known as Tempest. The British and Americans were forced to develop security measures to protect their encrypted communications but the Soviet Union was still able to exploit Tempest emissions from cipher machines in Western embassies in Moscow and read their diplomatic traffic. At the same time, Tempest became an important new way for the NSA and GCHQ to gather communications intelligence, particularly from developing world states and NATO allies. In the early years of the Cold War, Britain and the United States accidentally discovered that cipher machines produced electromagnetic and acoustic emissions which could reveal the original plain text of encrypted messages. Suddenly, many high level American and British code machines appeared vulnerable, raising the frightening possibility that the new Soviet enemy might be able to read their most secret diplomatic and military signals. The two allies had to urgently carry out research to determine the scale of the problem, which became known as Tempest, and develop counter-measures to secure their communications. At the same time though, Tempest opened up new ways for the American and British communications
