Products for spying on digital communications have mushroomed in response to the FBI's CALEA, the EU's ETSI and similar national network spying programs. Governments, businesses and individuals have followed this leadership by utilizing the same products to spy on and stalk citizens, customers, employees and family members. This is an initial list of oranizations which advertise services for "lawful interception," which have morphed into privacy-violative attacks -- unlawful interception -- under misleading terms of "data gathering," "network monitoring," "system administration," "protection and security," "parental control," "combatting child pornography," and a host of other lucrative political, commercial, demogogic and monomaniacal agendas. Lawful interception products and services, like all spying methods, have capabilities that are unregulated outside the official arena and are marketed with a wink-wink about their abusive use. As one firm, Netsweeper, coyly states: Should governments have the right to intercept or monitor the private Internet usage of its countrys citizens? The worldwide business boom in interception products and services have become a frenzy which threatens communications privacy more than governments, adopting the lucrative national security industry practice of cloaking fat profits with secrecy. Names and URLs of other invasive spying products and organizations are invited. Send to cryptome[at]earthlink.net Reading: Lawful Intercept (LI/CALEA) Links & Whitepapers
Global LI Industry Forum (Site
appears to be outdated, with several broken links) The Global LI Industry Forum, Inc is incorporated in the State of Washington, USA, as a non-profit trade association whose mission is to promote the worldwide awareness, responsible development, and marketplace growth for Lawful Interception (LI) products and services. The Forum is governed by its Articles of Incorporation and ByLaws; and consists of Members, a governing Board of Directors, Officers, and a Secretariat. Forum Members are the companies that develop and supply LI access products to Communication Providers or Law Enforcement Agencies in the global marketplace for the purposes of meeting national LI legal requirements, as that term is defined in ETSI Standards ES 101 671 and ES 201 671.* A LI service bureau is a service offering to Communication Providers and LEAs, where the provider provides in whole or in part the LI capabilities, and acts as an intermediary, making use of LI access, mediation, and software products. Members who join during the first year of the organization will be denominated Founding Members. Companies currently committed to be Founding Members Include: Founding Members [more on each below] Accuris Limited The Forum is establishing a LEA Advisory Committee for representatives of Law Enforcement Agencies that are recognized by existing international LI-related LEA organizations. Board of Directors (Initial) Christopher Cowan Officers President Anthony M Rutkowski Around the world, LI requirements including treaties and multilateral agreements, exist to discover and provide trusted information by providers of communication network services or their legal agents, both as i) a priori capabilities supported in provider systems and ii) in response to judicial warrants or production orders. In the USA, LI is frequently referred to as Lawfully Authorized Electronic Surveillance (LAES), of which a subset category is the CALEA requirements placed on telecommunication carriers by the FCC and FBI. The customers for these services include Law Enforcement Authorities (LEAs), national security agencies, or (where a private corporate or government network facility is involved) the party responsible for a private network. LEAs typically encompass police or investigative agencies, prosecutors, and judicial bodies. The LEA actions are generally criminal proceedings, but in some cases, civil. LI products and services are critically important investigative capabilities encompassing: 1) subscriber information and administrative records, 2) stored traffic data, 3) collection of real-time traffic data (also called Intercept Related Information (IRI) or "call-identifying information" in the USA), or 4) collection of real-time content (also called Communications Content (CC) or "call content" in the USA). Where public services are involved, the discovered information is provided to LEAs pursuant to lawful process. The basis for these requests are carefully controlled through judicial and administrative procedures and review.

Cisco Systems, Inc. Lawful Intercept Architecture This document explains Lawful Intercept (LI) architecture, including Cisco Service Independent Intercept architecture and PacketCable Lawful Intercept architecture. Lawful Intercept Lawful Intercept is the process by which law enforcement agencies (LEAs) conduct electronic surveillance as authorized by judicial or administrative order. Increasingly, legislation is being adopted and regulations are being enforced that require service providers (SPs) and Internet service providers (ISPs) to implement their networks to explicitly support authorized electronic surveillance. The types of SPs or ISPs that are subject to LI mandates vary greatly from country to country. LI compliance in the United States is specified by the CALEA. Cisco supports two architectures for LI: PacketCable and Service Independent Intercept. The LI components by themselves do not ensure customer compliance with applicable regulations but rather provide tools that can be used by SPs and ISPs to construct an LI-compliant network. Cisco Service Independent Intercept Architecture The Cisco Service Independent Intercept Architecture Version 3.0 document describes implementation of LI for VoIP networks using the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch call agent, version 5.0, in a non-PacketCable network. Packet Cable Event Message specification version 1.5-I01 is used to deliver the call identifying information along with version 2.0 of the Cisco Tap MIB for call content.

SS8 - The Architects of Lawful
Intercept SS8 Networks CALEA, ETSI and CableLabs compliant lawful intercept solutions are used worldwide by wireline, wireless, broadband and cable service providers for standards-based, or individually tailored, implementations. These solutions are typically divided into three key functions: access, mediation and collection. The access function comprises existing network elements that are provisioned to provide call detail records or call content for target individuals. Alternatively, passive probes may be used where no such capability exists on the access element. The mediation (or delivery) function is used for warrant provisioning, communicating with the access elements and probes and formatting call data for delivery to the law enforcement agency (LEA). The collection function equates to products deployed by LEAs for the appropriate collection and analysis of call records and content. SS8 is a leader in communications intercept and a worldwide provider of regulatory compliant, electronic intercept and surveillance solutions. Lawful intercept solutions allow communication service providers to meet regulatory obligations while at the same time enabling law enforcement agencies (LEAs) and intelligence services to conduct electronic surveillance of both circuit and packet-mode communications in accordance with local laws and standards. A privately held company located in the Silicon Valley, SS8 is head-quartered in Milpitas, California, and offers a worldwide reach with offices and partners around the globe.
Top Layer Networks DCFD (Data Collection Filtering Device) Data Access, Filtering, and Delivery Device for IP Interception Applications Lawfully authorized electronic surveillance (LAES - sometimes referred to as "wiretapping" or "lawful intercept") is a critically important law enforcement tool that police and other authorized government agencies use to investigate and prosecute criminals. LAES is the collection of (1) the contents of communications; and/or (2) communication identifying information. With the rapid growth of IP based networks (such as the Internet), criminals and terrorists have started using IP based applications for communications (email, chat, instant messaging, voice over IP, FTP, etc ) instead of voice. A clear need has emerged to create products and standards that can enable surveillance of IP based communications. Top Layer's richly constructed DCFD 3500 product line can be used as the IP Intercept Access Point (IAP) to address the need for interception. An IP Interception architecture typically includes a combination of the following components: 1. Provisioning and warrant management system a. Configures/provisions intercept access points, and manages warrants (authorizations). 2. Accesses data. a. Filters based on targeting information. 3. Mediation device a. Collects filtered information from multiple IAPs in same area. 4. Collection function a. Located at LEA site, it collects information from mediation devices (sometimes from IAPs) and stores it on disk in a database format. 5. Analysis function a. Decodes information stored in collectors and presents it in user readable form.

FireDigit bvba Lawful Intercept To comply with the new European directive an internet provider must keep track of the websites visited by the subscriber. This directive implies that a provider has to be able to retrieve who surfed to a specific IP-address / port at a given time. In case of internet abuse on a hotspot, the owner of the hotspot could be accused. That´s why FireDigit developed the Lawful Intercept Module. If necessary, FireDigit´s lawful intercept-module can quickly trace the violator, so the hotspot owner will be covered at all time. How does it work? The HotSpot Manager consists of reporting feature that reports all user activity at a specific time interval. The Lawful Intercept-module creates a database of IP-adresses visited by every user. Meaning that, for legal reasons, the history (date, time, duration ) of IP-addresses visited, can be traced. Note that only IP-addresses are stored and no content, this is to guarantee the privacy of the subscriber.
Newport Networks Newport Networks offers a complete Lawful Interception solution for VoIP service providers. Our solution enables service providers to meet existing and pending regulatory requirements for the FCC in the USA and national requirements within Europe. It has become increasingly clear recently that VoIP services will be expected to provide Lawful Intercept and Emergency Call Handling services to the same level experienced in the PSTN. The FCC in North America for example has mandated that both emergency calls and Lawful Intercept must be available; the deadline for achieving CALEA Lawful Intercept compliance is May 2007. Whilst not all countries mandate this capability, any network operator building a publicly available voice or multimedia over IP service today will need to plan a network which is flexible enough to implement these regulatory services in the future. In addition, multimedia services provide additional information on the user which may be useful to agencies, for example; picture id, video, or instant messaging. This will expand the regulatory requirements placed on the operator. The Newport Networks 1460 provides the following regulatory services today: 1. Lawful Interception: must be performed without the user being aware of any change in their normal communications. With media and signalling passing through the Newport 1460 and intercept occurring on the core network side of the device, intercept can be performed in a completely undetectable manner. Newport's solution is a complete turn-key system providing VoIP service providers with CALEA or ETSI compliant lawful interception capabilities. The solution provides the Intercept Access Point (IAP), the Administration Function and the Mediation Function. Intercept related information (to, from etc) and media information is passed into the mediation device to format the retrieved data into national requirements. The Newport Networks Lawful Intercept implementation meets and exceeds the requirements of CALEA and ETSI. Please contact us for country specific information.
Netsweeper Lawful Interception Lawful Interception (LI) is a legally endorsed security process, stipulating that network or service operators are to provide Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA) access to the private communications of individuals or organizations for the purpose of detecting illegal, criminal and potential terrorist acts. LI was originally designed to monitor postal and telegraph communications. However, with the technological advancements of todays society, governments are reinforcing LI to include other more common forms of communication occurring over wireless/mobile networks and even more so, the Internet. Email, web-chat, e-commerce, broadband streaming, web-based information services and even phone calls over the Internet (VoIP), make the Internet and even greater risk to the safety of our society due to the complexities in tracking the transfer of data and privacy concerns. Netsweeper and Lawful Interception Should governments have the right to intercept or monitor the private Internet usage of its countrys citizens? The topic of LI, as it pertains to the Internet, has been and will continue to be a highly debated issue. Netsweeper does not actively support either argument; however, Netsweeper is uniquely positioned to assist service providers and regulators in adhering to the LI regulations imposed by their government bodies. Netsweeper offers an industry leading, Core network-based software solution that can monitor, filter and/or block the Internet requests on its network, if it so chooses. Netsweepers unique architecture provides effective, flexible services-over-IP monitoring and filtering through a series of Internet-connected servers that can provide Administration and can access one of the largest URL databases of any IP filtering provider. Netsweeper houses most of the filtering technology in secure and redundant locations, so a service provider needs only to set up a Netsweeper Policy Server and an Enterprise Filter to manage its unique network use and traffic flow requirements. With expert Networking, authentication, and redundancy capabilities along with centralized administration and integrated reporting tools, the Netsweeper solution provides immediate access to an endless array of information that can be disseminated as required.

CommuniGate Systems http://www.communigate.com/news/c-news_article_07022004.html Stalker Software Provides Support for Lawful Intercept Compliance New Features in CommuniGate Pro Messaging Server Help Internet Service Providers Adhere to Existing and Emerging Communications Monitoring Regulations MILL VALLEY, Calif., (June 2, 2004)-Stalker Software, Inc., the technology leader in messaging solutions, today announced that CommuniGate Pro v4.1 includes features that support customer compliance with lawful intercept laws. The new features enable Internet Service Provider (ISP) customers to more easily comply with regulations requiring ISPs to monitor and report messaging activities of certain individuals. The lawful intercept features of CommuniGate Pro v4.1 enable ISPs to meet government compliance easily and cost-effectively. In response to today's heightened sensitivity about national security and the proliferating use of technology in criminal activity, many governments have enacted laws that require ISPs to record and report communications of certain individuals to law enforcement agencies. Currently in effect in Germany and soon to be implemented by governments globally, these laws require ISPs to record usage information and message content in addition to requiring that the information is reported to law enforcement agencies in formats that are compliant with the specifications determined by each government. In some countries, governments can disallow communications companies to continue business operations if interception and monitoring capabilities are not in place. The Lawful Intercept features of CommuniGate Pro v4.1 allow ISPs to monitor and record incoming and outgoing messages and user login and usage data. CommuniGate Pro v4.1 compiles and relays this data to external tools which enable ISPs to translate recorded data to meet their government requirements regardless of which country the end users reside in-a feature of particular significance to those ISPs with customers in many countries.

Polaris Wireless Lawful Interception In almost every country in the world, wireless service providers are required to enable the monitoring of voice calls and data sessions, termed Lawful Interception (LI), for use by government agencies in criminal investigations and antiterrorist measures. The Polaris Wireless Location Signatures (Polaris WLS) technology is an ideal solution for adding valuable location data to this LI information. Today, LI applications focus purely on intercepting content and have very low accuracy location context provided by cell tower location techniques like Cell-ID (CID) or Enhanced Cell-ID (ECID). This can render the applications ineffective because the target's actual location is relatively unknown; whereas, with accurate location data the LI mission can be accomplished with a much higher success rate. Using GPS for LI applications is not feasible because it does not work indoors and in dense urban areas, and the target user has the option to disable GPS location tracking capabilities on their phone. Location technologies such as multi-lateration (UTDOA) require radio hardware on every cell tower making it extremely cost intensive with a large degree of complexity in terms of deployment and maintenance. Polaris WLS is the only high accuracy, software-only location technology that is low cost, scalable, and reliably provides high accuracy across all types of environments. Besides high accuracy (sub 50m) and scalability, one of the key unique features of WLS is its ability to perform mass (bulk) location of all subscribers, on a near real-time basis, enabling applications such as mass interception along with post-event analytics. Polaris WLS in conjunction with its intelligent zone services software platform also powers border zone interception with a high degree of precision.

Telesoft Technologies Ltd Lawful Interception Standards Lawful Interception (LI) is a legal requirement where both the signalling and bearer channels are monitored in real-time to assist in the fight against crime and terrorism. The monitored signalling and bearer channels get switched to a recording device based on a user-configurable dynamic target database. There are three main standards which passive probes use to egress data back to the collection equipment, these are: ETSI ETSI 201 671 is the European standard for PSTN lawful interception. It covers the provisioning of target data and the handover interface to the customer. Telesoft Technologies HINTON product provides full adherence to this specification for PSTN and GSM networks, including the tracking of subscribers between base stations, and acquisition of location data and SMS data. CALEA Communications Assistance For Law Enforcement (CALEA , J-STD-025 ) is a law, introduced by the US government in 1994, to provide definition on the requirements of communication services providers to provide wiretap capabilities to law enforcement agencies.

AG Lawful Interception (Monitoring Center, Intelligence Platform) Challenge Governments have a mandate to protect the innocent and prosecute the offender, to foster the well-being of law-abiding citizens, to secure peace and prosperity and to safeguard the rule of law. Nonetheless, judging from terrorist attacks in the recent past, criminal groups have established global links which enable them to carry out their activities and continue to take advantage of the blessings of technological progress. They exploit open borders which make trafficking easy. And they have the financial resources to buy the latest digital communications technology with which they can coordinate their worldwide activities and escape detection. Therefore it is essential to do everything to secure peace and prosperity among individuals, families and nations. Good governance takes advantage of technological progress to achieve this aim. Authorized groups need to have direct access to communications between suspects, whether it is individuals, groups or organizations. Only then can they take appropriate action, detect, prevent and anticipate crimes and guarantee peace and security. Technological progress has changed our world fundamentally. Modern telecommunications networks are highly complex and extremely difficult to control: fiber-optic cables, radio waves and satellites encircle the globe and provide a host of transmission options for analog and digital signals. Because of the rapid increase and the ubiquitous use of IP and the Internet, the future will be characterized by even greater mobility and increased use of data communications. Therefore, communications monitoring requires highly sophisticated, multi-level voice and data recordings. Our Solution The graphic below demonstrates the complete spectrum Siemens VDR is able to provide to governmental institutions in the field of communication and intelligence. [Graphic omitted.] Monitoring Center * One Monitoring Center for all networks, vendors, and technologies - Target Monitoring Worldwide, Siemens occupies a unique position since it is the only supplier of telecommunications networks which provides its own Monitoring Center with the capability to incorporate all other network vendors. Its design permits integration within all telecommunications networks which use any type of modern standardized equipment compatible with ETSI recommendation (e.g. Siemens, Ericsson, Alcatel, Nokia, Nortel, Lucent, Huawei). With the Monitoring Center by Siemens, customers can play safe and yet always stay in the lead by opting for direct access to innovation worldwide and the organizational, financial, logistical and infrastructural strength of a global player. The Monitoring Center by Siemens is the ideal monitoring tool for current technologies and next-generation communications of all types. Because of its unique background, Siemens VDR not only keeps pace with the latest developments but also enables authorized groups to remain one step ahead. Intelligence Platform * One Platform to integrate and analyse any information from any source - Intelligent Analyses The problem we face today is not about data collection; it is about data analysis. It is not about obtaining and accessing data, but about connecting the dots, putting information in context and drawing conclusions about its implications. The key factor that may transform information into actionable intelligence is analysis. With the help of the Siemens Intelligence Platform, analysts may find meaning amongst enormous reams of irrelevant data. The Intelligence Platform is a means to organize disparate pieces of information for the Law Enforcement and Security Agencies and decision makers to act upon them. The Siemens Intelligence Platform is the intelligent analytical tool for analysts who assist decision makers to fulfill their mandate: to identify and predict trends, patterns or problem areas requiring action.
