Today, the technology is developing at a dazzling speed and in parallel
with this the technical means are employed in all walks of life at
the maximum level. Technology in a sense has made the world smaller
and it has put the world in an electronic enclosure with the cables
laid thousands metres under the seas and with the satellites placed
on various orbits in the sky. The fact that electronics and technology
are increasingly having a larger share in our lives has directed the
intelligence organizations in all countries to utilize these opportunities
and thus the products of the developing technology and electronics
have started to be employed in the information gathering area.
The works in the field of electronic intelligence, which were started
in Turkey in 1949 are currently conducted throughout the country
by means of the modern and strong structure formed by the Directorate
of Electronic and Technical Intelligence, one of the important units
of the MIT. Among the duties of this Directorate are the issues
such as conducting encrypted communication and deciphering the cryptographic
systems as well as carrying out "elint" and "sigint" activities,
which are the abbreviated forms of the "electronic intelligence"
and "signal intelligence" respectively. Within the framework of
the duty and responsibility as defined under the law, the Directorate
is successfully conducting its mission which is aimed at primarily
counteracting all electronic and technical attacks against our national
integrity and responding to these when necessary.
