France in cyber defense

Post by sniper3d »

Automatically translated from French.

We learn on this online newspaper that after the creation of theANSSI in 2009 and the release of the latest "White Paper on Defense", France is implementing its " cyber defense ».
After the creation of the National Information Security Agency (ANSSI) in 2009, following the latest "White Paper on Defense and National Security", France is gradually implementing its "cyber defense" policy.

Thus, the Director General of Information and Communication Systems (DGSIC), heading an organization directly subordinate to the Minister of Defense responsible for the ministry's general policy on this matter, announced at the "SIC Symposium" organized at the School of Communications on September 29 that:

-an interministerial intranet cut off from the global web will be created quickly;

-a national Cloud will also be created to host strategic data for the country, whether of public or private origin (in particular data from operators of vital importance (OIV) listed in the Defense Code).


This policy, coupled with the development of cyberspace intelligence and our expertise in virology, cryptology and cryptography, should allow our country to conduct effective active defense in the fourth dimension.

Totally ineffective and already doomed to fail.

Ok let me elaborate a bit.

The main question is will we still have our Global internet?

If yes, then any "foreign hacker mole" could copy this French Internet's data and make a sort of Wikileaks of French private data on the "Global" internet.

If no, then already a big French uprising; even if the government tries to slip it in gently, imagine being cut off from these sites:
Spoiler
-Google
-Youtube
-Wikipedia (Available in french but not hosted in France so bye bye).
-Facebook
-Twitter
-Gmail (for some)
-Sites for buying imports
-Foreign news sites
-Tgames (maybe... No idea where it's hosted ^^)
-Megaupload (Legal of course, depends what you put on it)
-Flash games no need to even mention (95% and I'm still underestimating, are non-french flash games.
Of course this would be private and controlled by the government so censorship would be everywhere like in North Korea (France is one of the most censoring countries in Europe).
So this becomes a platform for censorship and propaganda
Spoiler
Nicolas Sarkozy's Françepedia page:

He is god, the one who will guide his people to the borders of humanity and who will save us

"Insert Mass Propaganda"
"Insert Very Very Very Subjective Biography"
"Insert barely-touched-up facts :) "
"Insert connection to God"

"Insert government site page"
And now you're going to tell me, about my list of sites above, "no big deal there'll be alternatives"

Well no, since everything will be censored via the "Internet CSA".

Last point, mandatory trojans on computers, nothing will be private for the government, they'll know everything about your slightest actions and words, and if a Hacker manages to hack the government he could get his hands on the private life of 70 million people

Basically if this happens it's the end of freedom of speech and we'll be in a situation similar to North Korea's.

But they'd still need to manage to set this up and that's not a given because those guys aren't exactly geniuses when it comes to computers, look at Hadopi ^^.

There, that's my nice write-up. :)

Hmm, I have trouble believing it, they should have done this before, now making a "Kwangmyong like" (thanks wikipedia :D ), when North Korea did it almost 12 years ago, I see this as the net regressing.

Then again for me:
This policy, combined with the development of intelligence in cyberspace and our expertise in virology, cryptology and cryptography, should allow our country to conduct an effective active defense in the fourth dimension.
All this is just talk, it's to get more control (long live censorship etc....).
I don't see what the average user would gain from it.
