USA: GSM/Lauschangriff auf Eis gelegt-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- related 98.9.13/3 USA: GSM/Lauschangriff auf Eis gelegt Die Sehnsucht aller Lauschangriffs/Behörden in DE, AT & dem Rest der Welt gilt einer direkten Verbindung zu den GSM/Netzen, wobei die millionenschweren Kosten der jeweilige Betreiber tragen soll. Das FBI ist damit vorerst ab/geblitzt. Die US/Fernmeldebehörde FCC hat den Gesetzentwurf mit dem klangvollen Kürzel CALEA bis Juni 2000 auf Eis gelegt. postscrypt: Der unten zitierte Artikel aus der NYtimes stammt von John Markoff, dessen Person am Sonntag Grund für die Hack/attack auf die genannte Zeitung war. -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- The Federal Communications Commission on Friday, September 11 delayed until June 30, 2000 the effective date of CALEA, the 1994 law requiring telephone carriers to modify their equipment to ensure law enforcement agencies can continue to carry out wiretaps and other surveillances on digital switches. The law had been scheduled to take effect on October 25 of this year. The Commission gave carriers an additional 20 months to complete modifications needed to preserve law enforcement capabilities. The FCC delayed indefinitely implementation of certain expansions in wiretap capability sought by the FBI, including the ability to track wireless phone users, until the Commission could undertake a separate inquiry into the privacy implications of the FBI's demands. The Commission's order and supporting documents are on-line in full text at http://www.cdt.org/digi_tele/FCC911.html The order means that carriers will not be required -- yet anyhow -- to build location tracking capabilities and capabilities to intercept packet-switch communications until the Commission has a chance to rule on the privacy issues at stake. CDT was concerned that the FBI was using the looming deadline to force carriers to build capabilities that were not required by the act and which were under challenge. This ruling should freeze the development of the special surveillance features that the FBI wanted until the privacy issues are resolved. The extension is an important step, a recognition that compliance with CALEA is not possible at this time given the confusion and delay generated by the FBI's demands, but now we are in for a big fight over the privacy issues. ... The FBI is still pushing to turn wireless phones into location tracking devices. We are certain that Congress did not intend to turn cell phones into tracking devices. But regardless of how the Commission ultimately rules on this one, Congress should increase the legal standard for government access to location information, since currently the standard for ordering a carrier to turn on a tracking capability is too low, allowing the government to track people who are not even suspected of criminal conduct.
