PRISM is a code name for a program under which the United States National Security Agency (NSA) collects internet communications from various U.S. internet companies.[1][2][3] The SIGAD US-984XN also knows the program.[4][5] PRISM collects stored internet communications based on demands made to internet companies such as Google and Apple under Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to turn over any data that matches court-approved search terms.[6] Among other things, the NSA can use these PRISM requests to target communications that were encrypted as they travelled across the internet backbone, focus on stored data that telecommunication filtering systems discarded earlier,[7][8] and get data that is easier to handle.
