Just because Internet telephony isn't covered by CALEA does not mean
that it is safe from wiretapping.  It does mean that a court order is
needed for any kind of wiretapping, and that the FBI can't depend on
ISPs for technical assistance, and need to develop the necessary
technology themselves.

Of course, there's also the substantial risk of non-law-enforcement
entities tapping your Internet telephony.  Use strong crypto, but you
all knew that already.

That's what FIDNET is for.

FCC issues CALEA orders

1999-08-27 Thread Ross Harvey


Or at least, a press release of a summary of pending orders.

The FBI (and every other LEA, there are too many to count) got almost every
wiretapping aid they asked for, and they had apparently asked for a lot.
Somehow, this is not a big surprise.

See www.fcc.gov, in particular:
