About: MAINWAY

An Entity of Type: Biological database, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

MAINWAY is a database maintained by the United States' National Security Agency (NSA) containing metadata for hundreds of billions of telephone calls made through the largest telephone carriers in the United States, including AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. The existence of this database and the NSA program that compiled it was unknown to the general public until USA Today broke the story on May 10, 2006. Similar programs exist or are planned in other countries, including Sweden (Titan traffic database) and Great Britain (Interception Modernisation Programme).

  • MAINWAY is a database maintained by the United States' National Security Agency (NSA) containing metadata for hundreds of billions of telephone calls made through the largest telephone carriers in the United States, including AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. The existence of this database and the NSA program that compiled it was unknown to the general public until USA Today broke the story on May 10, 2006. It is estimated that the database contains over 1.9 trillion call-detail records. The records include detailed call information (caller, receiver, date/time of call, length of call, etc.) for use in traffic analysis and social network analysis, but do not include audio information or transcripts of the content of the phone calls. According to former NSA director Michael Hayden, the NSA sought to deploy MAINWAY prior to 9/11 in response to the Millennium Plot but did not do so because it did not comply with US law. Hayden wrote: "The answer from [the Justice Department] was clear: ' ... you can't do this.'" As of June 2013, the database stores metadata for at least five years. According to Pulitzer Prize winning journalist James Risen, MAINWAY was the most important of the four components that comprised the ThinThread program. The database's existence has prompted fierce objections. It is often viewed as an illegal warrantless search and violation of the pen register provisions of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and (in some cases) the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution. The George W. Bush administration neither confirmed nor denied the existence of the domestic call record database. This contrasts with a related NSA controversy concerning warrantless surveillance of selected telephone calls; in that case they did confirm the existence of the program of debated legality. That program's code name was Stellar Wind. Similar programs exist or are planned in other countries, including Sweden (Titan traffic database) and Great Britain (Interception Modernisation Programme). The MAINWAY equivalent for Internet traffic is MARINA. (en)
  • MAINWAY é um banco de dados mantido pela Agência de Segurança Nacional americana (NSA) que contém metadados para centenas de milhares de milhões de chamadas telefónicas feitas através das quatro maiores operadoras de telefonia dos Estados Unidos: AT&T, SBC, BellSouth (as três agora chamadas AT&T) e Verizon.

  • NSA call database är en databas skapad av amerikanska National Security Agency (NSA) som uppskattas innehålla 1,9 biljoner registreringar av amerikanska medborgares telefonsamtal. Databasens existens var okänd för allmänheten fram tills att den avslöjades av USA Today den 10 maj 2006. NSA:s egna kodnamn för programmet är "Stellar Wind". Inom ramen för "President's Surveillance Program" gav George W. Bush NSA utökade befogenheter att avlyssna och övervaka telekommunikationer, bl.a. genom att skapa NSA Call Database. Bushadministrationens hantering av programmet ledde till att USA:s justitieminister John Ashcroft, biträdande justitieminister James B. Comey och FBI-chefen Robert Mueller hotade med att avgå. Kontroversen hamnade på sin spets när Bushs dåvarande personliga juridiska rådgivare Alberto Gonzales den 10 mars 2004 försökte övertyga justitieminister John Ashcroft om att godkänna en fortsättning av programmet, trots att Ashcroft vid tidpunkten var inlagd på sjukhus för intensivvård och inte var insatt i frågan. James B. Comey var tjänstgörande justitieminister men vill inte godkänna programmet eftersom det saknades godkännande av kongressen. Programmets fortsättning godkändes den 11 mars 2004 av Bush och Gonzalez utan Ashcroft eller Comey. Ashcroft meddelade sin avgång den 9 november 2004 efter presidentvalet och ersattes av Gonzales. I Sverige har Försvarets radioanstalt en motsvarande databas, Titan. (sv)
  • MAINWAY – это база данных, поддерживаемая Агентством национальной безопасности США (АНБ), содержащая метаданные для сотен миллиардов телефонных звонков, произведенных через четырех крупнейших телефонных операторов США: AT&T, Southwestern Bell Corporation (SBC), BellSouth (все три в настоящее время называются AT&T) и Verizon. Существование этой базы данных и программы АНБ, из которой она появилась, были неизвестны широкой публике, до публикации USA Today от 10 мая 2006 года. Предполагается, что база данных содержит более 1,9 триллиона записей о данных вызовов. Записи включают детальную информацию о вызове (вызывающий абонент, получатель вызова, дата / время вызова, длительность вызова и т. д.) для использования этой информации при анализе трафика и анализе социальных сетей, но не содержат аудиоинформацию или стенограммы содержания этих телефонных вызовов. По словам бывшего директора АНБ Майкла Хейдена, АНБ пыталось развернуть MAINWAY до 11 сентября, в ответ на сюжет «Тысячелетия», но не сделала этого, поскольку использование программы MAINWAY противоречило законодательству США.
