Confidential geological data exist in the whole process of geological work (the establishment of geological work, the formation of original geological data and the formation of results geological data). The management of classified geological data also runs through the whole process of geological work, including the cyclic process of geological data management (identification, protection and utilization of classified data) formed in each stage. In every link of this cycle, there may be an unconscious leak. This paper focuses on the problems and countermeasures that are easy to appear in each link of confidential geological data management.

Keywords confidential geological data management

In order to further strengthen the management of classified geological data and ensure the safety of geological data information, the Ministry of Land and Resources and the State Secrecy Bureau jointly issued the Notice on Clearing Classified Geological Data (No.314 [2006] of the Ministry of Land and Resources) and the Detailed Rules for the Management of Classified Geological Data (No.69 [2008] of the Ministry of Land and Resources), and the Office of the State Secrecy Bureau also issued the Notice.

The successive release of these documents shows that the state attaches great importance to the management of classified geological data and is determined to strengthen the management of classified geological data. In accordance with the requirements of the above-mentioned relevant documents, the archives of Hebei Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources carried out a comprehensive cleaning, registration and accurate classification of the achievement geological data in the museum, correctly marked the classification and confidentiality period, and kept the newly submitted achievement geological data confidential for inspection and verification at any time, which laid a solid foundation for the correct borrowing and utilization of classified geological data in the future.

Judging from the current situation, the management of classified geological data is progressing steadily in a more perfect direction in accordance with the requirements of relevant state regulations. While seeing the achievements, we also found the shortcomings in the identification, protection and utilization of confidential information.

1 Problems and Countermeasures in Identifying Confidential Information

For geological data, the identification of classified data should include geological data results and original geological data.

1. 1 Problems and Countermeasures in Classification and Identification of Geological Data

Text part of achievement data: including text, reply, schedule, annex, etc.

Some reports will introduce the names and coordinate data of national control points used in the survey, as well as the observation results of national astronomy, triangulation, traverse and satellite geodesy; In particular, the control survey results table and the engineering survey results table in the schedule are classified information, and the text should be marked with classified information and page numbers. The information submitted by some units will ignore the confidential identification of this part of the information, which will lead to inaccurate confidential information and easy to leak in future borrowing work.

Uranium mine report in geological report: classified as nuclear industry. Environmental protection report: classified as environmental protection. Gravity data: It belongs to the results of joint survey of measuring point position, elevation and base point (e.g.1/50,000,1/200,000,1/500,000,1/65438). Geophysical gravity is Grade I and II. ): The classification category is land and resources. Other geophysical gravity anomaly results: the classification category is surveying and mapping. In other geological reports, the classified category is land and resources.

The map part of the result data: the drawings in the report text, the illustrations and drawings in the text.

The illustrations in the report are also easily overlooked. If the drawing elements of illustrations meet the confidentiality requirements, they will be classified. Every confidential map contains three elements:

There is a national coordinate network (that is, Beijing 54 coordinate system and 56 Yellow Sea elevation);

Latitude and longitude (i.e. international common geographical coordinates);

Geographical elements (i.e. contours, topography, features, elevations, triangles, villages, rivers, roads and other geographical information).

Maps that meet the above three conditions are classified. On the premise of geographical elements, if any of the above two elements are included, then the map will be classified. If there are no geographical elements, there are only one or two conditions mentioned above, and the map is not classified.

After determining whether the map is classified, the classification shall be determined according to the scale according to the provisions in the Detailed Rules for the Administration of Classified Geological Data. Some plans have only one place name, and there are no contour lines except the coordinate network. Some people say that this kind of plan does not classify. In fact, all kinds of floor plans, no matter how simplified the terrain and features are, even if there is only one triangle point, one main well location, one building, one reservoir, one road, one place name and so on. As long as there are national normal coordinates and natural geographical elements on the plan, you can still locate them accurately through these elements. Such as: geological engineering layout map, geological physical map, hydrogeological zoning map, geophysical and geochemical anomaly map, etc. The profile is not classified, but if there is a plan (location map, schematic diagram, schematic diagram) on the profile, as long as the coordinates are complete and there are geographical elements, the classification level is still determined according to the prescribed scale. In order to keep state secrets, it is still necessary to strictly require confidential identification.

1.2 Problems and Countermeasures in Confidential Identification of Original Geological Data

The management of classified geological data is not only the management of achievement geological data, but also the management of original geological data. The original geological data is the source of geological data, which can better reflect the real situation of each stage of geological work. The borrowing and utilization rate of original geological data in geological work is also very large, so it is very necessary to keep the original geological data confidential. Its appraisal and lending management should be paid as much attention as geological data. At present, the basic geological reference room only cleans up the geological data, not the old original geological data. The newly formed original data are only marked in the file ledger, and the classification is inaccurate, which brings inconvenience to the management of classified geological data in the future.

According to the rules of filing and arrangement of original geological data, the original geological data are divided into ten categories, and the confidentiality marks of the maps and text parts in all kinds of data are the same as those of the results geological data. Among the ten kinds of data, the bottom word data is the same as the geological data; Field hand-drawn drawings, physical drawings, other types of maps, and word-measuring data are the key confidential materials, and these materials should be classified in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Detailed Rules for the Administration of Confidential Geology when they are identified; In addition, gravity data must be classified according to the requirements of relevant laws and regulations. Not all words belong to the national territory, but all maps belong to surveying and mapping. Some gravity data (including maps) belong to the national territory, and some belong to surveying and mapping, which should be carefully distinguished and strictly classified. In order to manage the classified geological data, it is necessary to establish a database to clean up the original classified geological data. I look forward to the early popularization and application of this database software in the whole country.

2 problems and countermeasures in the protection of classified geological data

After the identification of classified geological data is completed, the correct protection and utilization of classified geological data is a problem we often face in our work. At present, most geologists have a certain understanding of the protection of classified geological data, but their understanding of the protection of classified geological data is not the same. There are two forms of classified geological data: paper and electronic carrier, and the protection of paper classified geological data is better than electronic data. However, the consciousness of protecting electronic data is not strong, which is manifested in the following aspects: computers with confidential information have online records, USB flash drives with confidential information are used casually between confidential and non-confidential machines, confidential notebook computers and mobile storage media are taken out, and there are confidential information and online traces in notebook computers.

Strengthen the protection awareness of classified geological data, take more precautions in the work, staff should improve their own awareness of prevention, leading cadres should improve their management awareness, and properly equip necessary equipment, so that specific staff can separate classified machines from computers with Internet access function, and fundamentally control the leakage of electronic classified information on the Internet. Establish a special system for secret-related computers. Secret-related computers must set passwords in strict accordance with the confidentiality provisions, and change passwords frequently to prevent others from stealing secrets; If you must use the USB flash drive, you should establish a strict registration management system for the use of the USB flash drive. Mobile storage media (such as USB flash drives) should not be used interchangeably between confidential and non-confidential machines, and computers with Internet access should not contain confidential information.

3 problems and countermeasures in the use of classified geological data

We generate and use classified geological data almost every day, which sometimes leads to the leakage of classified geological data unconsciously: the classified geological data borrowed from the borrowing room are not copied on the specially designated copier, and the number of copies of the data is printed at will, and the invalid data is discarded at will. Confidential information carried when going out to work is kept by others at will, and no special person is arranged to deliver the information when handing it over, but someone is found to replace it. If these details are not used carefully, confidential information will be revealed.

Each unit shall establish a strict system for the use of classified geological data, and the classified geological data such as paper media and CD-ROMs shall be produced in places where corresponding security measures have been taken. Before borrowing and using classified geological data, users should go through the borrowing and copying procedures on the basis of the principle of "whoever uses it is responsible". Data management personnel should keep abreast of the whereabouts of classified geological data. Carrying classified geological data out of work should be approved by the unit leader and protective measures should be taken to keep the classified geological data under the effective control of the carrier. It is strictly forbidden to sell classified geological data as waste, and establish a strict system for the preservation and destruction of classified geological data.

Some geological data maps submitted by some units deliberately removed the national coordinate network and latitude and longitude information for fear of confidential information leakage. Although the processed map is not classified, it is inconvenient to borrow and use in the future. The purpose of submitting information is to facilitate the use, resource sharing and information exchange, rather than to prevent the disclosure from causing inconvenience and thus losing the use value of information.

Classified geological data are state secrets, which are related to national security and interests. All state organs, armed forces, political parties, social organizations, enterprises, institutions and citizens have the obligation to keep state secrets. Therefore, the management of classified geological data is particularly important. Leaders at all levels must attach importance to the management of classified geological data, and all units should establish and improve the management system of classified geological data, and implement the responsibility of each link in the process of borrowing, using and returning geological data to people. Intensify publicity, relevant personnel (producers, users and managers of classified data) should improve the confidentiality awareness of classified geological data, correctly and rationally use geological data, so that geological data can be used in protection and protection, improve the utilization value of geological data, and serve the national economic construction.

The above is the author's understanding of the management of classified geological data, hoping to get the understanding of colleagues, constantly improve the sense of confidentiality in the process of identification, protection and utilization of classified geological data, and do a good job in the management of classified geological data.
