but details about this cooperation remained shrouded in secrecy.

provides new information about various systems for sharing
information, metadata, content and reports among the Five Eyes
partners.

- Information sharing: IWS
- Interoperable access control: PKI
- Sharing metadata: MAINWAY

toxic radiation amid nuclear war. Rather, the fortified skyscraper
would safeguard powerful computers, cables, and switchboards. It would
house one of the most important telecommunications hubs in the United
