Lots of international agencies are putting in efforts to monitor the network around their countries to see suspicious activities and illegal or illegitimate transmission of messages. India, being a center of attraction for terrorist activities, is also working towards development of such surveillance systems. NETRA or Network Traffic Analysis is one such effort being taken by the Indian Government to filter suspicious keywords from messages in the network. But is it good enough to be used at highest level for security analysis or does the system design needs to be improved as compared to other similar systems around the world; this question is answered through this study. The comparison of NETRA is done against Dish Fire, Prism and Echelon. The design of the NETRA scheme and implementation level analysis of the system shows few weaknesses like limited memory options, limited channels for monitoring, pre-set filters, ignoring big data demands, security concerns, social values breach and ignoring ethical issues.

  • JMAD Media Ownership Report
    JMAD New Zealand Media Ownership Report 2014 Published: 2014 December 5 Author: Merja Myllylahti This New Zealand Ownership Report 2014 is the fourth published by AUT’s Centre for Journalism, Media and Democracy (JMAD). The report finds that the New Zealand media market has failed to produce new, innovative media outlets, and that all the efforts to establish non-profit outlets have proved unsustainable. The report confirms the general findings of previous reports that New Zealand media space has remained highly commercial. It also confirms the financialisation of media ownership in the form of banks and fund managers. The report also observes that in 2014 convergence between New Zealand mass media and the communications sector generally was in full swing. Companies, such as Spark (former Telecom NZ), started to compete head-to-head with the traditional broadcasters on the online on-demand video and television markets. The American online video subscription service Netflix is entering the NZ market in March 2015. Additionally, the report notes evidence of uncomfortable alliances between citizen media, politicians, PR companies and legacy media. As Nicky Hager’s Dirty Politics book revealed, the National Party and PR practitioners used the Whale Oil blog to drive their own agendas. Also, events related to Maori TV, TVNZ and Scoop raise questions about political interference in media affairs. It is now evident that the boundaries between mainstream media, bloggers, public relations practitioners and politicians are blurring. Key events and trends concerning New Zealand media Financialisation of mass media ownership confirmed Substantial changes in Fairfax, APN and MediaWorks ownership Competition heats up in online television and video markets Turbulence at Maori TV Blurred lines among politicians, bloggers, journalists and PR practitioners The JMAD New Zealand media ownership reports are available here: http://www.aut.ac.nz/study- at-aut/study-areas/communications/media-networks/journalism,-media-and-democracy-research- centre/journalists-and-projects 1 1.

Both systems rely upon a series of statutory authorizations: in the case of the United States primarily the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act; in the case of the United Kingdom, the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, the Police Act, the Intelligence Services Act. Among other differences, the U.S. procedures rely more heavily upon judicial involvement and supervision, while those of the UK employ other safeguards. The UK procedures afford greater latitude to arrest, detain and supervise suspected terrorists than those available in the United States.

  • The Right to Privacy and the Future of Mass Surveillance’
    ‘The Right to Privacy and the Future of Mass Surveillance’ ABSTRACT This article considers the feasibility of the adoption by the Council of Europe Member States of a multilateral binding treaty, called the Intelligence Codex (the Codex), aimed at regulating the working methods of state intelligence agencies. The Codex is the result of deep concerns about mass surveillance practices conducted by the United States’ National Security Agency (NSA) and the United Kingdom Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ). The article explores the reasons for such a treaty. To that end, it identifies the discriminatory nature of the United States’ and the United Kingdom’s domestic legislation, pursuant to which foreign cyber surveillance programmes are operated, which reinforces the need to broaden the scope of extraterritorial application of the human rights treaties. Furthermore, it demonstrates that the US and UK foreign mass surveillance se practices interferes with the right to privacy of communications and cannot be justified under Article 17 ICCPR and Article 8 ECHR. As mass surveillance seems set to continue unabated, the article supports the calls from the Council of Europe to ban cyber espionage and mass untargeted cyber surveillance. The response to the proposal of a legally binding Intelligence Codexhard law solution to mass surveillance problem from the 47 Council of Europe governments has been so far muted, however a soft law option may be a viable way forward. Key Words: privacy, cyber surveillance, non-discrimination, Intelligence Codex, soft law. Introduction Peacetime espionage is by no means a new phenomenon in international relations.1 It has always been a prevalent method of gathering intelligence from afar, including through electronic means.2 However, foreign cyber surveillance on the scale revealed by Edward Snowden performed by the United States National Security Agency (NSA), the United Kingdom Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and their Five Eyes partners3 1 Geoffrey B.

    UNIT 18 SPACE COMMUNICATION Structure 18.1 Introduction Objectives 18.2 Propagation of Waves in the Earth's Atmosphere 18.3 Radio Wave Communication 18.4 Satellite Communication Orbits of Satellites Frequencies Used in Satellite Communication Remote Sensing: Application of Satellites Satellites in India 18.5 Summary 18.6 Terminal Questions 18.7 Solutions and Answers I 18.1 INTRODUCTION In Unit 17 you have studied the basics of the communication systems and We have introduced the idea of communication channels and mentioned how electromagnetic waves serve to cam signals in the audio-visual region. You have learnt about two types of communication channels: one in which the signals from the transmitter are guided along a physical path (or line) to the receiver. The mode of communication using guided media is called line communication and we take it up in the next unit. The communication process in which the signal is transmitted freely in the open space (atmosphere) is called 'space communication'. In this communication we use radio frequency waves as carriers. Communication through space refers mainly to propagation of etectromagnetic waves in the earth's atmosphere and satellite communication. This is what we shall discuss in this unit. Objectives After studying this unit, you will be able to: teach better to your students the concepts of propagation of electromagnetic waves in the atmosphere, principles of satellite communication and its usefulness, communication bands, and applications of satellites and satellite communication in India; and devise strategies to help your students to learn these concepts and assess how well these have worked.

  • Commercial and Industrial Cyber Espionage in Israel
    Commercial and Industrial Cyber Espionage in Israel Shahar Argaman and Gabi Siboni Cyberspace is especially suited to the theft of business information and to espionage. The accessibility of information, along with the ability to remain anonymous and cover one’s tracks, allows various entities to engage in the theft of valuable information, an act that can cause major damage. Israel, rich in advanced technology and a leader in innovation-based industries that rely on unique intellectual property, is a prime target for cyber theft and commercial cyber attacks. This article examines the scope of cyber theft and cyber industrial espionage globally, and attempts to estimate how much !nancial damage they cause in countries around the world and in Israel. It seeks to raise awareness of the extent of the phenomena among the relevant authorities in Israel and provide recommendations on how to grapple with it. Keywords : Cyber, espionage, industrial espionage, intellectual property, cyber crime, cyber theft, technology “There are two types of companies: companies that have been breached and companies that don’t know they’ve been breached…. The vast majority of companies have been breached.” 1 Shawn Henry The director of the National Security Agency, Gen. Keith Alexander, called cybercrime “the greatest transfer of wealth in history.” The price tag for intellectual property theft from U.S. companies is at least $250 billion a year .2 Shahar Argaman is the director of the National Cyber Sta!.

  • An Interview with James Bamford
    Investigating the Puzzle Palace: An Interview with James Bamford BONNIE BRENNAN AND KATHERINE GILBERT QUESTION: Do you consider clandestine intelligence gathering a legitimate activity for a modern nation-state? BAMFORD: I think it is very legitimate; I ju.st think that it should be directed externally. It is unrealistic not to have clandestine activities, though to some extent NSA isn't even really engaged in clandestine collection. Thousands of signals are just falling down outside right now, and all they're doing is putting out a dish and collecting them. There's not really anything clandestine about it. A listening post is a large thing with big antennae that can be seen from the road. It's just technical collection gathering, and I don't think there's anything really wrong with that as long as they're concentrating on foreign countries. We assume foreign countries can do the same thing to the United States. The Soviet Union, I'm sure, has a big listening post in Cuba. I don't see anything wrong with that. QUESTION: In his book, The Codebreakers, David Kahn shows that intelligence gathering by nations is as old as civilization. In the nineteenth century, Clausewitz described "intelligence" as the "basis . of our own plans and operations" and posited that "unreliable and transient intelligence results in a flimsy structure that can easily collapse and bury us in its ruins." What, in your opinion, is the role of intelligence today? BAMFORD: The role of intelligence is to provide a government with a third eye to see what is going on in places where it can't otherwise see; it has expanded tremendously from thirty years ago when the concentration was on human intelligence.
