Description: CERIAS Security Seminar at Purdue University
Technical Tradeoffs in the NSA's Mass Phone Call Program
Ed Felten, Princeton University
This talk will examine several technical questions related to the NSA's program that collects data about a substantial fraction of all domestic phone calls. How effective is such a program likely to be in identifying potential terrorists or clearing up false suspicion? How easily can enemies evade the program? Can the program be redesigned to better protect privacy, without losing effectiveness?
