The Bulk Collection of Signals Intelligence: Technical Options study is a result of an activity called for in Presidential Policy Directive 28 (PPD-28), issued by President Obama in January 2014, to evaluate U.S. signals intelligence practices. The directive instructed the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) to produce a report within one year "assessing the feasibility of creating software that would allow the intelligence community more easily to conduct targeted information acquisition rather than bulk collection." ODNI asked the National Research Council (NRC)-the operating arm of the National Academy of Sciences and National Academy of Engineering-to conduct a study, which began in June 2014, to assist in preparing a response to the President. Over the ensuing months, a committee of experts appointed by the Research Council produced the report.

From August 2003 through January 2004, Major Ronald Beadenkopf - as the liaison from NSA Georgia to Combined Joint Task Force 7 (CJTF-7) on Camp Victory, Iraq- provided reachback signals intelligence (SIGINT) support to CJTF-7 with regards to SIGINT equipment fielding and support. Working specifically with Cryptologic Services Group-Baghdad as the national tactical interface, he also assisted with the integration and training of new and existing purpose-built collection capabilities against the insurgency, as part of the effort to orient all national tactical resources to go after the insurgent threat. "Here we are," said Beadenkopf, "we have billions and billions of dollars of resources and efforts focused on a conventional threat, and all of a sudden we have to conduct a hard right to go after an unconventional threat, so that required an awful lot of money, resources and time. But again, we're faced with a very fast-moving enemy who doesn't just sit there while we come up with a plan and take a lot of time to flesh it all out." For his second tour in Iraq, this one from February 2005 to January 2006, Beadenkopf served as the SIGINT officer in charge for 3rd Infantry Division. He was responsible for employment, fielding and maintenance of SIGINT infrastructure; for the division's SIGINT collection strategy; for exploitation of SIGINT, analysis, reporting and dissemination; for integrating the SIGINT collection plan into the division's intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance plan; and for working with national-level agencies and special operating force communities to facilitate time-sensitive targeting of insurgent cells and networks in the 3rd Infantry Division area of operations. "We spent a lot of time," Beadenkopf explained, "helping our boss in predictive analysis to try and assist the division commander to identify what the enemy was up to, what his plans were, where he might attack next, how to interdict and get inside his decision cycle and all those things. For me it was an incredible experience from a tactical perspective because I got to work with all the other 'INTs." Beadenkopf also discusses the too-short amount of time (from an intelligence perspective) that is allocated for the handover process; the critical period that is a unit's first 100 days in theater; the benefits of being the "600-pound gorilla" in theater and rapidly getting requests for support filled; how vital it is to understand the culture in which you're operating; the dangers of underestimating one's enemies; the highly intelligence-driven fight that Iraq has become; as well as how he came away feeling he'd earned a "master's degree in tactical SIGINT support to counterinsurgency."

For every opportunity presented by the information age, there is an opening to invade the privacy and threaten the security of the nation, U.S. businesses, and citizens in their private lives. The more information that is transmitted in computer-readable form, the more vulnerable we become to automated spying. It's been estimated that some 10 billion words of computer-readable data can be searched for as little as $1. Rival companies can glean proprietary secrets . . . anti-U.S. terrorists can research targets . . . network hackers can do anything from charging purchases on someone else's credit card to accessing military installations. With patience and persistence, numerous pieces of data can be assembled into a revealing mosaic. Cryptography's Role in Securing the Information Society addresses the urgent need for a strong national policy on cryptography that promotes and encourages the widespread use of this powerful tool for protecting of the information interests of individuals, businesses, and the nation as a whole, while respecting legitimate national needs of law enforcement and intelligence for national security and foreign policy purposes. This book presents a comprehensive examination of cryptographyâ€"the representation of messages in codeâ€"and its transformation from a national security tool to a key component of the global information superhighway. The committee enlarges the scope of policy options and offers specific conclusions and recommendations for decision makers. Cryptography's Role in Securing the Information Society explores how all of us are affected by information security issues: private companies and businesses; law enforcement and other agencies; people in their private lives. This volume takes a realistic look at what cryptography can and cannot do and how its development has been shaped by the forces of supply and demand. How can a business ensure that employees use encryption to protect proprietary data but not to conceal illegal actions? Is encryption of voice traffic a serious threat to legitimate law enforcement wiretaps? What is the systemic threat to the nation's information infrastructure? These and other thought-provoking questions are explored. Cryptography's Role in Securing the Information Society provides a detailed review of the Escrowed Encryption Standard (known informally as the Clipper chip proposal), a federal cryptography standard for telephony promulgated in 1994 that raised nationwide controversy over its "Big Brother" implications. The committee examines the strategy of export control over cryptography: although this tool has been used for years in support of national security, it is increasingly criticized by the vendors who are subject to federal export regulation. The book also examines other less well known but nevertheless critical issues in national cryptography policy such as digital telephony and the interplay between international and national issues. The themes of Cryptography's Role in Securing the Information Society are illustrated throughout with many examplesâ€"some alarming and all instructiveâ€"from the worlds of government and business as well as the international network of hackers. This book will be of critical importance to everyone concerned about electronic security: policymakers, regulators, attorneys, security officials, law enforcement agents, business leaders, information managers, program developers, privacy advocates, and Internet users.
