A published report here in the United States says the Bush administration is likely to propose creation of a centralized system to monitor the Internet, in an effort to increase national security.

The New York Times reports the White House may require Internet service providers to help build the monitoring system.

Quoting several unidentified people who have been briefed on the issue, the newspaper says a proposal for monitoring the Internet is part of the final version of a government report on cyberspace security ("The National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace"), set for release next year. If the Bush administration plan is approved by Congress and U.S.

If the Bush administration plan is approved by Congress and U.S. regulatory agencies, The New York Times says it could allow authorities to conduct surveillance of individual Internet users. The government report labels the proposed plan as an "early warning" system to detect Internet-based attacks and provide a defense against software viruses.

The newspaper says some Internet service providers are concerned that a monitoring program could lead to unlawful wiretapping and other violations of Internet users' privacy.
