After having agreed on a draft of an official cybersecurity strategy earlier this month, Japan's National Information Security Center (NISC) is looking to establish a Cyber Security Center - an agency equivalent to the U.S. NSA - and allow it to monitor Internet-based communications.

In order for such actions to be legal, it is necessary first to change some laws, namely Article 21 of the Japanese Constitution and Article 4 of Japan’s Telecommunications Business Law.
