The contract calls for the development of “Persona Management Software” which would help the user create and manage a variety of distinct fake profiles online. The job listing was discussed in recently leaked emails from the private security firm HBGary after an attack by internet activist last week.
合約要求發展“角色管理軟件“，那將幫助用戶創建和管理在線上的種種不同的虛假概況。工作列表被討論於最近從私人保安公司HBGary洩露的電子郵件，在上週被聯網活動家襲擊後。
According to the contract, the software would “protect the identity of government agencies” by employing a number of false signals to convince users that the poster is in fact a real person. A single user could manage unique background information and status updates for up to 10 fake people from a single computer.
根據合同，軟件會“保護政府機構的身份“，透過僱用人一些虛假訊號去說服用戶，即範例人物其實是一個真正的人。單一用戶可以從一台電腦管理獨特的背景信息和狀態更新，達10個假身。
The software enables the government to shield its identity through a number of different methods including the ability to assign unique IP addresses to each persona and the ability to make it appear as though the user is posting from other locations around the world.
該軟件能使政府保護其身份，通過一些不同的方法包括分配獨特IP地址的能力給每個人物角色，和使它看起來用戶好像從世界各地的其它地點發布的能力。
Included in HBGary’s leaked emails was a government proposal for the government contract. The document describes how they would ‘friend’ real people on Facebook as a way to convey government messages. The document reads:
包括在HBGary的洩露電子郵件內的，是一政府建議關於政府的合同。該文件描述它們如何在Facebook上與真實的人'交朋結友'，作為傳達政府信息的一種方法。文件內容如下：
“Those names can be cross-referenced across Facebook, twitter, MySpace, and other social media services to collect information on each individual. Once enough information is collected this information can be used to gain access to these individuals social circles.
“那些名字可被交叉引用，在Facebook、Twitter、MySpace和其它社交媒體服務，以收集每位個人的資料。一旦收集足夠的資料，這些資料可被用來獲得進入這些人的社交圈子。
