The Edward Snowden effect is felt again. The World has made damning revelations about the system and the target of espionage agency of American security (NSA) . France, which has been just as focused, provides tangible evidence of acts of espionage .

The latest disclosures show a massive surveillance of telephone communications of French . The NSA is also interested in the data that goes through e-mail addresses ending in Wanadoo and Alcatel -Lucent. This is the question of new technologies and the powers of the national agency on the security of information systems and those of the police and gendarmerie . The White House has downplayed the new controversy, but it has grown .

Any abuse of power are harmful to respect for individual freedoms. "
 "With the Americans, ultimately there was no real agreement, the threats are asymmetric because the technology has evolved in such a way that more control is possible," said Jean -Marie Bockel , Senator IDUs in Haut-Rhin , author of a report on cyber defense.

Jacques Berthou , Senator PS Ain, going in the same direction : "We are attacked from all sides . Everyone , individual corporations, individuals as states. "

Today, Bill military planning is under debate in the Senate. The target for cyber defense is to change the system of administrative requisitions, such as the Penal Code or the Intellectual Property .

On the government side , reactions were not long in coming , Laurent Fabius , said he convened "immediately" the U.S. ambassador to Paris .

Commenting on the request of David Cameron about a commission of inquiry , Jean -Marie Bockel said " we can not be against a parliamentary commission of inquiry." But he said " we never had sufficient resources to counter a massive espionage ."

In France , he says : "We have a more focused approach , and more limited in terms of our ability ." "We must prevent abuse, and establish rules of the international game , which will not always be met, of course, but that pose common boundaries ," he adds . To explain the unequal power relationship between the French and American spying power , he likes to quote Jean- Jacques Urvoas which stressed that "Americans fishing net , we French are spearing ."

But he expressed confidence means cyber defense owned by France: "We do not have the means to control everything , all the time, but there are warning devices , and European level we are best equipped " .

 He concluded: "About Edward Snowden , I am not in indifference, or in excess. Any abuse of power are harmful to respect for individual freedoms. "

The tools of defense against cyber attacks
Jacques Berthou , Senator PS Ain asks: how to guard against this kind of attack ? He described the attacks as " evil and sabotage " and alarm about their devastating conditions that can "put a flat economy " and especially " jeopardize the security of a country "

France has offensive and defensive capabilities that must guarantee democracy . The weapons at our disposal are called the Directorate General of Armaments ( DGA) or the National Security Agency Information Systems (The ANSSI ) , the source of system interference , highly protective equipment confidential , that create our own heart networks . If all these facilities reassure businesses, governments and citizens, public disclosure of abuse, keeps vigilance , need our own allies.

For Jacques Berthou Senator PS Ain must respond urgently : "In empower businesses to protect themselves against cyber attacks. This is a problem of national emergency . "

"The case Snowden has allowed us to realize that the allies have gone further in espionage with a friendly state , with such power that we need the right tools to defend ourselves ," says the senator from Ain .

Engineering education and trends in research of various equipment are the tools recommended by Jacques Berthou .

 " For hardware, systems, technologies, we maintain our independence , our own system, which will create jobs ," he adds .
