TEMPORA allows analysts to gain "big access to big data" by slowing-down Internet data, allowing analysts three days to exploit the most valuable Internet links available in GCHQ for content-based discovery and metadata analysis. With over 1000 machines to process more than 40 billion pieces of content a day, TEMPORA is set to outshine NSA's outdated XKEYSCORE program, which could not sift through bulk data as efficiently. The new program purports to comply with U.K. and U.S. legal requirements while targeting Middle East, North African, and European target sets (among others).
