=Censorship...=
 * Censorship** is the suppression of speech or other public communication which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient to the general body of people as determined by a government, media outlet, or other controlling body.

Is China the world most censored country? No, actually North Korea is. North Korea's press freedom is almost non-existent. The government controls all media outlets, censors everything, and strictly limits citizens access to information.

All of the journalists are members of the government and media outlets are essentially for the purpose of promoting the regime.

Even listening to foreign broadcasts in North Korea is a crime, and is subject to punishments like physical labor, imprisonment, and even the death penalty.

Data matching
The process of comparing a data sample with a data stored in a file/server and subsequently assigning a score based on the level of similarity. In other words, making sure that the letter matches the envelope - so that the right person is receiving the right letter with the right addressed envelope.

The biometric system then issues an //accept// or //reject// decision based on the results of the matching.

Archiving
A place or collection containing records, documents, or other materials of historical interest. Government archives include those maintained by local and state government as well as those maintained by the national (or federal) government. Anyone may use a government archive, and frequent users include reporters, genealogists, writers, historians, students, and people seeking information on the history of their home or region, but not all the data are available for public, such as confidential files, taxes etc.

Government data center in Culpeper, Virginia

Built like a bunker, the center boasts reinforced concrete walls, motion-sensing cameras, armed dogs, and bomb-sniffing dogs. “This building is like a secure bunker, and the campus is like a military base,” the company’s senior Vice President, Norm Laudermilch, bragged. All vehicles entering the facility are thoroughly searched.

The data center may be secure on the outside, but I bet its much more vulnerable virtually. Armed guards and concrete are useless against hackers, who in this day and age seem to find a way around any security system. Still, it’s important that the government have the more secure infrastructure available.

Advantages of file archiving

 * Files are organized
 * Convenient

Disadvantages of file archiving

 * It requires a huge disk space
 * Large projects may require a significant amount of local or networked storage space.
 * Risk of getting hacked is higher
