CALEA: Milliarden fuer den Lauschangriff-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- heisst für die US-Behörden CALEA: Interfaces für den flächendeckenden Lauschangriff auf die mobile Telephonie. Die geschätzten Kosten betragen fünf bis zehn Milliarden Dollar, als Zahlmeister sind selbverständlich die Kunden vorgesehen. -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- George Leopold ... The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is currently reviewing implementation of the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (Calea) to clarify technical requirements. Wireless telecommunications and privacy groups have told the Commission the FBI is exceeding congressional authority by seeking greater surveillance capabilities under Calea. ... "The issue before [the FCC] is whether law enforcement will be able to use Calea as a back-door means to expand existing wiretap capabilities and whether consumers in their monthly bills will shoulder the multibillion dollar costs of that expansion," Thomas Wheeler, president of the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association, argued. ... The group estimated that expanded wiretapping capabilities sought by the FBI would shift the $5 billion to $10 billion cost of implementing the added surveillance features to consumers. Wheeler said the FBI has refused to release cost data on implementing Calea. Nevertheless, he predicted the cost of the wiretap law will be 10 to 20 times more than the Congress authorized to be spent. ... In comments to the FCC on the Calea review, the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA; Arlington, Va.) said it backed the agency's decision to limit its review of the standard to 11 specific modifications proposed by the FBI and the Center for Democracy and Technology, a Washington-based privacy group. The group views the standard as providing law enforcement with too much information while the FBI views it as providing too little. ... The digital wiretap law, enacted by Congress in 1994, is designed to allow law-enforcement agencies to continue to conduct electronic surveillance in the wake of rapid advances in telecommunications technology. Calea requires telecommunications carriers to ensure their equipment, facilities and services will meet the assistance-capability requirements specified under the law. ... full text http://www.eetimes.com/story/OEG19981217S0011 -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by Harkank published on: 1998-12-21 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
