These intelligence activitiesSIGINT(Sigint [signal intelligence], in French it is ROEM [renseignement d 'origine lectlectagnétique]), what I was doing was the Foreign Ministry of Foreign Affairs (DGSE). In France it was collecting electric signals emitted from computers and telephones, and exchange between France and overseas. In the case of telephone calls, the number, location, date, conversation time, content weight In addition, information such as e-mail, SMS, fax, etc., as well as net activity on sites such as Google and Facebook were monitored and collected in the same way.

Information collected is hundreds of billions of billions,Mortier BoulevardIt is stored in the server installed in the basement 3 floor of the DGSE headquarters in With this data, you can see at a glance what kind of activities a particular person is working on a phone or computer, as if reading someone's diary.

This data is not limited to DGSE, but it includes not only DGSE but also Domestic Information Central Office (DCRI), Military Intelligence Agency (DRM), Defense Security Bureau (DPSD), Customs Information Intelligence Agency (DNRED), Cash Clearing Information Division (Tracifin), Paris Police Department But it was made available.

According to Bernard Barbier, Technical Director of DGSE, it seems that it has been publicized about twice so far, and the amount of data that a server in DGSE can store is tens of petabytes (tens of millions GB), and from the server It is enough to warm the building with just the heat generated. In this talk Barbier said "Today, we are targeting the public network, but only when it is used as a terrorist."

Meanwhile, Rep. Jean-Jacques Urvoas, who summarized the report on the legal framework of the intelligence agency against this press of Le Monde, said, "Under the current laws of France, we will make such a communication interception program like PRISM In order to do so, it is necessary to approve by the National Security and Eavesdropping Committee (CNCIS) and it is also essential to destroy data after use, so it is impossible for French citizens to be subject to information monitoring illegally "
