Document Summary
* the internet after snowden - (wed, 6:30-8:30pm) ~ surveillance, privacy and the future of global communications. Signals * (sigint) - non-verbal communication, also without technology, ex. flags on ships, need a coding system, ex. lighthouses (had fire), ex. passenger pigeons (all killed during ww1) used to carry messages, ex. smoke signals (aboriginal, the vatican). Communications (comint) - technology-based (telephone, the web), are vulnerable (since made by humans, for humans), anything you build will be guaranteed compromised, the best computers/systems are broken by other humans. Analysis - the most important intelligence by far, all terms up are not important if the way you analyze information is not correct, ex. You can have the most authoritative systems (ex. Nazis who ruled the entire state, soviet russia but they both failed at analysis which is why they"re not with us today). U. s. a is the most wealthiest country in history could not stop a handful of terrorists since their analysis wasn"t correct.
