It's like seeing certain plays from a sport team before, and then after a game seeing their notebook with their general game strategy. Yeah everything we saw before 'fits in' to what was released today - for example we already knew from examples that the NSA works to break encryption - but now we also know that it is considered one of six key investments and that it probably has its own leadership separate from the others. This is useful because you know what programs have more overhead talking to each other/partnering. For example to speculate that corporations probably aren't helping very much with the crypto breaking effort.
(The names are most definitely classified.)
- acqq 12y agoWrong, the names aren't classified, contrary to your claim "the names are most definitely classified." Look in the document, the title "Sentry Eagle Data Sheet" is clearly marked "U" which according to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classified_information_in_the_United_States http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classified_information_in_the_U... Means "Unclassified."
- xnull2guest 12y agoWell what do you know. U//FOUO Unclassified. For official use only. Yup the names are not classified.
- acqq 12y agoOne line before the one where you've probably found that combination is just "(U) Sentry Eagle Data Sheet" clearly without the FOUO (which, if existed, would mean "for official use only"). The markings specify the following not the previous content. So the title I quoted as containing the name is just and only "U" unclassified.
- xnull2guest 12y agoSo an addendum. As the terms are not classified there are minimal standards regarding using the names in less secured conversation. If another country has intercepted communications or documents with some mention of SENTRY EAGLE, now that this has been released they know some of the conversation/document context.
- acqq 12y agoIt's what the names are for: to allow referring to the projects in unprotected environment without revealing what the projects are.
- foxhedgehog 12y ago//FOUO is a classified designation.
- acqq 12y agoAlmost correct, FOUO is a designation used to effectively classify the unclassified information from the public (really! [1]) but he looked at the wrong line. ------ [1] "unclassified but which the government does not believe should be subject to Freedom of Information Act requests" (wikipedia)
- foxhedgehog 12y ago//FOUO is a classified designation.
- xnull2guest 12y agoIt's appears also to be an unclassified designation? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classified_information_in_the_United_States#Unclassified http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classified_information_in_the_U...
