American "Prism" Event Analysis In The Perspective Of Intelligence Science

After many years of development and evolution, as an independent new subject, intelligence has been gradually recognized by academic and the social community. Cloud computing, the Internet of things, especially the production of various kinds of social media, greatly changed the way of user’s information communication and storage of data resources. Under the impetus of the information and network technology, quickly accumulate a large number of unstructured, heterogeneous data information, bring human into a digital age-the era of big data. At the same time, also create a new living space for people, called the information space. In the information age, people not only need to survive in the real space, but also need to adapt to the survival of information space,"Prism" event is a typical case that happened in the big data environment, U.S. intelligence agencies use advanced information technology to gather and use information from the information space. Analysis and research "Prism" event in the perspective of intelligence science, enrich the research content of intelligence science, expand the research field of intelligence science, combine theory and practice, will promote the further development of intelligence science.This paper will use "prism" events as the empirical case, with information space theory as the support, supplemented by intelligence value theory and the theory of information technology, mainly use the metadata analysis and information content analysis model to analyze the "prism" event, for this event give some enlightenment to our country information security construction. Finally, the paper expounds the influence of the events to the development of intelligence science.The main content of this paper include:Part1, introduces the background and significance of this paper, research status, research ideas and research content, research methods and main innovation points.Part2, introduces the theoretical basis of intelligence science that "prism" events reveals, including intelligence value theory and the theory of information technology, and introduced to the information space theory in the big data environment, expounds the information space theory by applying two intelligence analysis model, the metadata analysis model and information content analysis model.Part3, introduces "prism" event, and analysis the intelligence information chain of "prism" events and information human’ behavior from the perspective of intelligence science. Part4, introduces some thinking that trigger by the "prism" events, give some advices to our country information security construction.Part5, expounds the influence of the "prism" events to the development of intelligence science.Part6, summarize the main content of this article, and illustrate the insufficient and prospected of this paper.
