10 June 2014NSA Identity Intelligence Data Fields
On 1 June the New York Times published an article on the NSA's recent facial recognition technology efforts, based on documents given to Laura Poitras by Edward Snowden last year. Included were excerpts of an NSA slide presentation on "identity intelligence," one slide showing an extensive list of types of data about an individual that can be gathered from public records, data brokers and social media, or by law enforcement or intelligence authorities, and which NSA analysts work to combine with intercepted facial images "to develop comprehensive portraits of intelligence targets."
Below is a transcription of the list.
