According to Smeshko, at the moment there is the need to create special services to conduct electronic reconnaissance type of American national security Agency (NSA).
" it is assumed within the National intelligence program to collect service, which is responsible for the supervision of telecommunications ", - said the Head of the Department, citing the example of American exploration.
" All countries of the world radio and telecommunications means the state unites in one hand is the NSA of the USA, it is the Bank in the Russian Federation. This decision dictates our time - time of modern information technologies, " said Smeshko.
The operation of the us national security Agency has been at the center of the scandal. In June 2013 the ex-employee firms that cooperated with the CIA and NSA, Edward Snowden released details of the top-secret PRISM program, in which the secret service intercepted data talks on the phone and carried out surveillance on the Internet. The collection of electronic information was conducted in accordance with article 702 of the act on the supervision over the activities of foreign intelligence services (FISA).
