Title: Lawfully Authorized Electronic Surveillance of Public IP Network Access Service
Abstract of Presentation:
Public IP Network Access Service (PIPNAS) is defined as a subscription-based service that combines network processing, protocol conversion, and routing with transmission to enable users to access a public Internet Protocol (IP) network. Network access can be obtained by establishing a subscription-based arrangement with a PIPNAS provider. The typical PIPNAS provider offers services that combine network processing, protocol conversion, and routing with transmission.
Electronic surveillance is one of the most effective and valuable investigative techniques utilized in both criminal and national security investigations. Emerging technologies, such as those associated with PIPNAS, have vastly complicated law enforcement's task in this regard. Therefore, it is particularly important to preserve Law Enforcement Agencies' (LEAs') capability to acquire all Communication Identifying Information (CII) and Communication Content (CC) that are subject to Lawfully Authorized Electronic Surveillance (LAES).
This presentation indicates the needs of LEAs relative to PIPNAS and the status of standards development to support those needs.
