6 Status Highlights FCC continues to strongly assert compliance required by May 14th Network equipment vendors and Trusted Third Parties still developing their offerings based on emerging standards

7 CALEA-Related Standards Craig Mulholland Cisco

8 NPC Position Paper

9 Exempt/Not Exempt Institutions first evaluating if there is any possible need to comply  Different interpretations of vague terms If yes, often doing risk analysis based on:  Possible fines  Possible bad PR (risk to reputation) Cost to comply: the trade-offs

10 Information Resources and Communications University of California, Office of the President CALEA at the University of California David Walker Office of the President University of California David.Walker@ucop.edu

11 Information Resources and Communications University of California, Office of the President Background and Status The University of California  Ten campuses, five medical centers  Intercampus connectivity provided by non-profit state R&E network Legal analysis of the campuses' need to comply is nearly complete, based largely on the results of a survey of campus network managers.

12 Information Resources and Communications University of California, Office of the President Issues Addressed Is the campus network public or private?  Public access points on the campus  Network connections with research and other partners How does the campus connect to the public Internet?  ISPs used  Responsibility for support of the campus connection Does the campus provide “public” VoIP?

13 State Networks and CALEA Shaun Abshere WiscNet

14 Related Issues “Vacuum cleaner” approach utilized by LE “Call it the vacuum-cleaner approach. It's employed when police have obtained a court order and an Internet service provider can't "isolate the particular person or IP address" because of technical constraints, says Paul Ohm, a former trial attorney at the Justice Department's Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section. (An Internet Protocol address is a series of digits that can identify an individual computer.)”Paul Ohm From ZDNet News, 1/30/2007

15 Related Issues Will CALEA be used on campuses?  Or just Title 18, etc., so that better data can be collected closer to the source? Potential for CALEA-like legislation  How likely?  What would we want it to say? Data Retention

16 Discussion

17 EXTRA MATERIALS BELOW

18 How might an Intercept work? LawfulAuthorization Law Enforcement Telecommunication Service Provider Service Provider Administration (Turn on Lawful Intercept feature of switch) Delivery Function Collection Function Access Function Law Enforcement Administration (Switch collects Lawful Intercept data) (Securely deliver information to LEA) (Order generated)

19 Compliance Options Purchase equipment  Intercept capability  Upgrade existing network hardware, if Lawful Intercept (LI) features available, or  Acquire network probes to install in network  ALSO NEED MEDIATION DEVICE TO FORMAT AND SEND DATA TO LAW ENFORCEMENT (vendors such as SS8 and Verint)

20 Compliance Options Trusted Third Parties (TTP)  Vendors can provide full suite of services including:  Installing equipment to perform Lawful Intercept  Receiving and validating an intercept request from Law Enforcement  Performing the intercept and forwarding the data to Law Enforcement  Could be less costly option if need to comply

21 Compliance Options Trusted Third Parties (TTPs) (continued)  Mixed results in interacting with TTP vendors so far  Service offerings CALEA Tech Group has seen are very new (NeuStar, Apogee - soon to see VeriSign)

22 Compliance Options “Do it yourself” options  Example: Merit
