Beware of the Ferret

For years, programmers commissioned by the government have struggled with the challenge of creating a program that can detect the transmission of classified information in an e-mail. Now they may finally be close to a solution with the creation of Ferret, an artificial intelligence concept being developed by Lockheed Martin Energy Systems. When completed, the system will feret out classified keywords, especially information related to nuclear weapons, from e-mails sent via classified servers. The completion of ferret gives the government a new tool in the fight against rogue hackers trading in nuclear or other secrets.
