Forget NASA, CIA, FBI or any other agency that can
intercept your calls,emails and internet connections. In Bluffdale , USA National Security Agency is busy building the largest Spy center in the history of the
world. The immensely secretive and high-priority project is to be completed in
2013. This will make NSA the largest, most covert, and potentially most
intrusive intelligence agency ever.
The center will serve the purposes of NSA which
are related to communications between humans as well as machines.It will have
the power to intercept,decipher,analyze and store mammoth data collected from
satellites,optical fibres and local and international networks.The under
construction $2 billion center will be capable of storing contents of private
emails,cell phone calls and messages,Google searches and activities on social
networks.Besides these it will have all sorts of personal data-trails parking
receipts,bookstore purchases and other digital “pocket litter.”
Accoding to a senior security official,who
until recently was involved with the program “this is more than just a data
center.It is also critical for breaking codes”.He went on to say ,
code-breaking is crucial, because much of the data that the center will
handle—financial information, stock transactions, business deals, foreign
military and diplomatic secrets, legal documents—will be heavily encrypted.
According to another top, the agency made a huge breakthrough several years ago
in its ability to cryptanalyze, or break, unfathomably complex encryption
systems .
The upshot, according to this official: “Everybody’s a
target; everybody with communication is a target.”
