first now when i think of the n.s.a. surveillance this year i think of the n.s.a. as more piggybacking off of private sector companies collection of data rather than actually collecting data itself now you call it a public private surveillance partnership there so how much of what the n.s.a. does is about using american companies database for the n.s.a.'s own purposes. the n.s.a. does both they certainly do a lot of collecting of data. through stu subterfuge by tapping undersea cables by going into hostile countries and collecting microwave links but they also get a lot through alliances both the n.s.a. in the us g c h q in the u.k. and partners all through europe are collecting data with the cooperation of telcos of service providers that are provided that are providing that data for people around the world as data moves across the internet there's a lot more use of alliances to get that data and yes there is a very strong partnership between the n.s.a. and companies really around the world now that you've said that the internet is the surveillance state because w

what it does it secures you against bulk collection so if the n.s.a. g c h q the chinese government the russian government any other country is eavesdropping on the communications link encryption will protect the contents of your communication. that was cryptologist bruce schneier time now. big deal time on this thursday with no one for edward harrison now today we're discussing a couple things first going to start off with apple t.v. then we're going to snap chat and then bit torrent now our first two stories have to do with security and privacy first open whisper systems and open source software group has announced the creation of the signal now that's a free app that allows people to encrypt their phone calls for free so how does this work out what's the start of this so basically you were talking to bruce schneier about encryption and the point is here that you want to be able to take phone calls and be able to encrypt without having to do a whole bunch of whiz bang stuff you know you have the black which allows people to basically be able to use th

it's been over a year since the first n.s.a. story broke based on a trove of leaked documents since then it's been a constant stream of articles shedding light on programs that u.s. intelligence agencies had previously kept classified but since the amount of information is so vast perhaps it's time we take a step back and go over a few of the most stunning revelations of the past year starting with the hard evidence that the national security agency was spying on u.s. citizens in june of last year guardian journalist glenn greenwald reported that the n.s.a. was collecting the phone records of the millions of arising customers across the u.s. but later we learned that it wasn't just verizon leaked documents reveal that the sweep communications involved practically every telecom in america that in less than twenty four hours we learned about prism a program the n.s.a. used to obtain direct access to the servers of giant tech companies like google facebook and apple this announcement was particularly controversial because many of th

agent and whistleblower thank you very much for joining me thank you the n.s.a. and its former director general keith alexander are back on to the public spotlight for dealing in secret to get artist marina porter nial shed some light on less. the agency that eroded the meaning of privacy and indiscriminately peered into the lives of millions of citizens around the world is suddenly subscribing to protecting personal information but only if that person happens to be the former director of the national security agency keith alexander the n.s.a. work uses to release the financial disclosures of the four star general who according to reports is currently raking in some a one million dollars a month for his cyber security consulting services this has released ethical questions and concerns that the former spy chief may be selling high level security secrets and classified information for a lucrative paycheck misusing classified information for profit is a federal felony critics say the only thing alexander has to offer potential clients is the state secrets he knows i

didn't say how many documents, but he said there were considerably fewer than the 1.7 million that the n.s.a. has alleged, and that 1.7 million is basically based on the documents he may have at one point seen, but certainly not the documents that he copied and by them missing the clues he left, we

now the n.s.a. is also notably absent from the stage of what is arguably the world's largest computer security convention let's get more on this from security researcher carson . carson for joining us here on or to international to discuss this well certainly now is not a good time to be in a say director before kids alexander step down he want to listen i guess hacker conference and his speech was met by this let's take a listen. we stand for freedom oh. not that. no. one. i haven't lied to congress. all right well you have heard the reception that he got of the skunk friends and you know this is something the fact that made the agency keep a low profile and not give any keynotes this year what do you make of this. appearance of the selling stand in front of the anchor conference last year is very well remembered as their only attempt to have. bridged the gap between what they are doing in computer security and what everybody publicly saying stay should be doing and that attempt was a complete failu

since the n.s.a. has so much of american communications -- telephone calls, e-mails and so forth -- and if there is a second leaker, which apparently there is, and certainly the evidence indicates that, and maybe having been inspired by edward snowden, it's certainly a major problem for n.s.a., if they thought they had a problem with snowden, now they have a problem with someone else

the c.h.p. are still wary of israel so he says that previously leaked n.s.a. documents say that one of the u.s. agencies biggest threats actually comes from what they call friendly intelligence services like israel who has echoed that in a secret memo that says to quote israel is a very real threat to regional security so both the n.s.a. and. you have said that they didn't comment on existing relationships in relation in response to glenn greenwald's article they have however said that everything they do is within the framework of the law but according to glenn greenwald legal oh no these new documents highlight that u.s. role in what he calls israeli aggression towards its neighbors and he says that with the help of the u.s. and its key allies it's it's very close it's squarely at all with the image that the u.s. has cultivated of this sort of helpless detachment from the conflict that we're seeing take place probably boyko in london with that update. in the past five years a record number of illegal immigrants have been locked up in the u.s. officials driven
