Tracking multilpe ways, a challenge to intelligence
This is my site By Faisal Kawoosa on April 26th, 2010

Today, the parliament of India is noisy again. There is no big deal about it. It happens every day it is supposed to work. But today, technology is making them shout. With the recent ongoing IPL controversies, outlook, a magazine of repute in India, has come out with a report claiming that the government super intelligence agency NTRO (National Techical Reserach Organisation) has been tapping the phones of some ministers and politicians whenever there is a controversy of national magnitude.

Whether it has happened or is just a false allegation, is yet to be ascertained. With both sides confident about it occurence and otherwise, it will take sometime to get things clear. But surely, in this instance, the investigating agency has been lucky to have been asked to track the telephone calls, which is very easy over POTS.

As the developments in communications advance, a person is networked through many ways and the accessibility to them has also improved. Though we had emails, chatting softwares, etc. earlier as well, but in recent years they are really at our finger tips. Mobile has made them highly approachable.

We can say, mobile Internet is happening; I mean the high speed mobile Internet and through your mobile you can use a VoIP client, a peer to peer client, social networking service or just an easy email. Tracking all these media, is not and would not be easy for any intelligence agency. Definitely not on this part of the earth. Merely being able to tap the fixed or mobile phone for voice calls won’t serve the purpose and with services being encrypted the tracking is going to be tougher. Even if something is achieved, it is going to take a lot of time, marring the investigation.

So what can be done? Should we stop all these services? Are we going to block them if we are not going to track them properly, particularly for national interests? We do mainly attribute security to national interests, but bunglings of high order like that in IPL is definitely a national interest. So, why should not the government be allowed to resort to all means in tracking the activities that could lead to something. We all need to think out seriously how with growing multiple ways of communication and their accessibility on the rise, we are able to preserve national interests. I know what is being made out in the Parliament is mere politics and that is surely not in the national interests. They are now focussing on the phone tapping as it is directly affecting politicians and are back-fronting the IPL issue as it could be a mud on the faces of some across the parties. So better play down it.
