      Vom 7.-12. November diskutiert die Internet Engineering Task  
Force (IETF) in Washington u.a., ob  
Überwachungsmöglichkeiten im Nachfolgeprotokoll ipv6 fix zu  
verdrahten sind. Jeff Schiller, IETF Mitglied und Netzwerk  
Manager am MIT: "Wir sollten keine  
Überwachungstechnologien in die technischen Standards  
einbauen. Strafverfolgung war niemals einfach. Wo es einfach  
war, herrschte Polizeistaat." 
 
Im Vorfeld der IETF-Konferenz flackert die Debatte allerdings  
nicht nur auf der eigens dafür eingerichteten IETF-Mailingliste

PRIVACY IS AN "ANTISOCIAL ACT": 
 
Scott Bradner wasn't surprised to hear the FBI say this week  
that they wanted an easily wiretappable Internet.  
 
The veteran Internet Engineering Task Force area coordinator  
and Harvard University networking guru has already had his  
arm twisted by the Feds.  
 
It happened when the IETF decided to wire encryption into  
the next-generation Internet protocol, IPv6.  
 
"Someone very high up in the US Justice Department told me  
that week that for the IETF to support encryption was an  
'antisocial act,'" Bradner said.  
 
(...) 
 
Now the IETF is debating whether to wire government  
surveillance into the next generation of Internet protocols. The  
issue promises to cause the most acrimonious debate the  
venerable group has ever experienced and likely will have a  
lasting effect on privacy online.

"We think it's a wise and prudent move," said Barry Smith,  
supervisory special agent in the FBI's Digital Telephony and  
Encryption policy unit. "If this standard setting body chooses  
to turn a blind eye to reality, they can make a statement, but  
companies are going to have to function in the real world and  
meet their governmental obligations," he said.
