The NSA Is Using Private Sector Data
Collection for Public Sector Purposes,
Impacting Big Data and Commerce
Research PREVIEW for
Stratecast Confidential: The Impact of
the NSA on the Big Data Market—
and Global Communications
@FS_ITVision/ @Stratecast
Sample of Key Highlights
• The NSA has access to detailed information about much of the phone and
electronic communication in the U.S, most U.S. credit card transactions, and
even user/usage data from popular mobile phone apps, such as Angry Birds
• The NSA is gaining access through data collection “agreements,” electronic
software and system back doors, and its own ability to “troll” communication
highways, collecting data at will
• The NSA claims to simply be interested in collecting metadata—”data about
the data”--yet the NSA is hard at work on technologies that protect CONTENT,
cracking the code of:
- Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), which keeps online communications and transactions (content)
hidden from prying eyes.
- Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), an encryption algorithm for securing sensitive but
unclassified material by U.S. government agencies

Sample of Key Highlights
• The NSA is far from the only entity that appears to be trampling on personal
privacy in pursuit of information it believes it needs; the private sector is also
obtaining personal user data through questionable means
• Loss of privacy will degrade the quality of life--and since electronic
communications are the lifeblood of commerce, it may have chilling effect on
the U.S. economy
• Current developments offer hope of a solution:
-Harvard University: Differential Privacy – leveraging common privacy issues across
sectors to develop software-driven Big Data solutions
- The U.S. Senate is crafting legislation to limit NSA’s data collection mandate
* Update July 28, 2014: Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) introduces bill*
