Lawful interception

Andres Rojas 2006

Lawful Interception (a.k.a. legal wiretapping) is a process by which law
enforcement agencies can legally intercept a subject\'s telecommunications for
the purposes of crime prevention and prosecution.
As the technology horizon expands, existing legislation that governs lawful
interception is being put under pressure to also cover emerging technologies
such as email, SMS and VoIP.
The aim of this talk is to to define what Lawful Interception is, give a
history of its origins, explain how the technology works, to highlight the
insecurity and abuse of implementations, and the state of play in terms of
newer technologies.
