Re: Unraveling NSA's TURBULENCE Programs

Integration with XKEYSCORE The XKEYSCORE program was widely reported, since it is NSA’s and GCHQ’s rolling buffer of three days worth of full-take Internet traffic [26]. According to a GCHQ document, the design of XKS has evolved to meet the growing traffic demand. The first iteration of the system,...

Re: Unraveling NSA's TURBULENCE Programs

Plugin Architecture Because TURMOIL operates on the packet level, it can choose to handle certain types of traffic with special processing. From leaked documents, it is clear that there are at least three unique types of traffic that are handled at the TURMOIL level. The first two are part of a syst...

Re: Unraveling NSA's TURBULENCE Programs

Passive Collection: TURMOIL The TURMOIL program is NSA’s global passive SIGINT apparatus. TURMOIL is a “high-speed passive collection systems intercept [for] foreign target satellite, microwave, and cable communications as they transit the globe” [4]. Presumably all this collection is related to Int...
