英語の読み方・ニュースの読み方――NSAのデータ傍受事件を読み解く：三国大洋の箸休め（15）

今日の例文

After The Washington Post reported last week that the NSA was tapping into private networks at Google and Yahoo, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper wasted no time in denying the allegations. Clapper said the report had "misstated facts, mischaracterized NSA’s activities, and drawn erroneous inferences about those operations." Today, the Post struck back with an even more detailed look at the NSA's network-tapping capabilities, including proprietary details that all but prove the agency was pulling data from the company's private lines.

The new documents show data held by the NSA in formats that are otherwise only found on Google and Yahoo's private network ― essentially a smoking gun for the previously alleged network-tapping. In Google's case, it comes from a proprietary network protocol known as a "remote procedure call" that company servers use to verify a server's identity.
