ECHELON: Puzzleteile aus NL 
 
Das Match heisst Militärs gegenm, Zivile oder auch  
ECHELON gegen die Öffentlichkeit und praktisch funktioniert  
es so: Man verheimliche alles [militär], zivilerseits setze man  
ein Puzzle aus inzwischen freigegebenen, weil angejahrten  
Informationen aus militärischen Dienst/dunst/kreisen, die in  
öffentlichen Dokumenten  - Thema Signals Intelligence  
[SIGINT] - enthalten sind, zusammen. 
 
Sodann rechne man neuen technisch relevanten  
Entwicklungen dazu, indem man etwa die Exportrestriktionen  
 im sattsam bekannten Wassenaar Vertrag [konventionelle  
Waffenexportkontrolle] bezüglich Krypto, schneller HF- 
Scanner, Kommunikationsfrequenzen, Glasfaser/switches,  
Multiplexer & c genau verkehrt herum liest, extrapoliere   
unter Berücksichtigung von Moore's Law [average computing  
power doubling every 18 months]  bis einem dämmert, was  
heut/zutag alles gehen kann. 
 
Nach .uk .us .ca .au .nz ..se .no und anderen vorzüglich aus  
dem Westen sind jetzt die Holländer dabei, durch Analyse  
der Abhör/vergangenheit die Gegenwart  hochzurechnen. 
 
post/scrypt: ex occidente lux - so schaut es aus, das Licht  
kommt aus dem Westen.

SIGINT IN EUROPE DURING THE COLD WAR 
 
More and more students of the Cold War begin to realize that  
the intelligence communities played an important role during  
the Cold War. In recent years in particular the importance of  
Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) has been stressed and  
especially the capabilities and possibilities of reading and  
deciphering diplomatic, military, commercial and other  
Communications of other nations.  
 
This growing awareness of the importance of intelligence  
applies not only to the activities of the big services but also  
to those of the smaller nations like for example the  
Netherlands. For this exact reason a couple of years ago the  
Netherlands Intelligence Studies Association (NISA) was  
established in which academics and (former and still active)  
members of the Netherlands intelligence community work  
together in order to promote research into the history of  
Dutch intelligence communities. This growing interest had led  
in Holland to publications dealing with the history of the  
Dutch internal security service (1995), the Dutch Navy  
Intelligence (1997) and the Netherlands foreign intelligence  
service (November 1998).  
 
As honorary secretary of the NISA it is my pleasure to  
announce that the NISA will host an international conference  
dealing with  
 
THE IMPORTANCE OF SIGINT IN WESTERN EUROPE IN  
THE COLD WAR 
 
This conference with a particular emphasis on Sigint and the  
Northwestern European nations will take place on Saturday  
November 27 in Amsterdam. 
 
The line up of the program is as follows:
