Kinderschaender traditionell gefasst

Der Tenor dieses Berichts der Los Angeles Times besagt,
dass bei Auffliegen des internationalen Rings von
Kinderschändern, der das Sommerloch mit Schlagzeilen
gefüllt hatte, vor allem traditionelle Mittel wie
Hausdurchsuchungen und abgehörte Telefonate zum Ziel
geführt hatten - obwohl unter den Tätern ein
Verschlüsselungsexperte war. In Europa überschlugen sich
dagegen Politiker u& Medien mit Ideen, wie man derartige
Kriminalität bekämpfen könne -indem man die Bürgerrechte
aller ganz einfach annulliert.

28-10-1998 There are several widely held notions about
Internet-related crime. One holds that law enforcement
cannot deal with quick-hit criminals whose global computer
transactions can be accomplished in seconds. Another is
that the police forces of many nations will never close ranks
to share information and coordinate investigations. Still
another holds that Washington must have the means to
decode computer encryption if law enforcement is to do its
job. As Times staff writers Mark Fritz and Solomon Moore
showed last Friday in an article about a child pornography
investigation, none are necessarily true.

U.S. Customs Service computer experts worked closely with
local law enforcement and several foreign police agencies to
conduct, over the course of two days, 100 raids in California
and 21 other states and in Australia, Austria, Belgium,
Britain, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands,
Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden. Their target was the
largest Internet child pornography ring discovered to date,
known as Wonderland.
....
Wonderland was a tight-knit group that freely traded 100,000
images of child pornography. Its members had production
studios for live child sex shows that they transmitted over the
Net. The operation had a computer-security designer and
programming and hardware specialists who built a daunting
array of codes and powerful encryption to maintain secrecy.

Encryption employs complicated algorithms to scramble
documents until they can be decoded by the intended
receiver. Although encryption surely will be a backbone of
trust and security in the electronic communications and
business transactions of the future, U.S. federal law
enforcement agencies presently maintain that they need
access and eavesdropping ability to prevent criminals from
plying their trade in secrecy. But in the child pornography
case, traditional law enforcement means like wiretaps,
search warrants and message tracing proved sufficient. In
other words, traditional methods were applied to a new
medium.
...
This case exposes vile secrets. But more important, it shows
how an electronically well-defended crime ring can be broken
without overarching laws and assaults on privacy.
