Special Source Operations is a division in the American National Security Agency (NSA) which is responsible for all programs aimed at collecting data from major fiber-optic cables and switches, both inside the US and abroad, and also through corporate partnerships. Its existence was revealed through documents provided by Edward Snowden to media outlets in 2013 and, according to him, it is the "crown jewel" of the NSA. The program began in 2006, according to one of Snowden's documents, when the NSA was collecting the equivalent of "one Library of Congress every 14.4 seconds". ''The Washington Post'' described the official seal of the SSO division as something "that might have been parody: an eagle with all the world’s cables in its grasp."〔(Edward Snowden, after months of NSA revelations, says his mission’s accomplished - The Washington Post )〕 The five biggest collection programs of the Special Source Operations division are codenamed:〔Top Level Telecommunications, (Some numbers about NSA's data collection ), June 5, 2014〕 * DANCINGOASIS * SPINNERET * MOONLIGHTPATH * INCENSER * AZUREPHOENIX Other known programs include: * PRISM — front-door collection using Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) orders * MUSCULAR — back-door collection from Google and Yahoo private clouds * Upstream collection — which includes: * * FAIRVIEW * * BLARNEY * * STORMBREW * * OAKSTAR == See also == * Special Collection Service * Tailored Access Operations 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Special Source Operations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
