Wiretapping leading to more secure VoIP systems?
-
-
When the US national wiretapping broke the news in June, some people including Internet pioneer Vinton Cerf pinpoints problems that will burden VoIP providers and potentially make them plunge.
Since then, the Global Lawful Interception Industry Forum (GLIIF) is issuing a rebuttal report (we outlined the best part.)
The rebuttal from the Global Lawful Interception Industry Forum (GLIIF), however, refutes nearly every point raised in the ITAA report. The whitepaper, entitled “Security Implications in Applying the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act and Related Requirement to Voice Over IP,” asserts that:
- Network architecture is irrelevant when it comes to applying CALEA to VoIP, because there is a lawful intercept solution for every type of network,
- There is no legal requirement to develop standards for CALEA compliance as it pertains to VoIP, therefore it is not necessary to develop any,
- Complying with CALEA is not prohibitively expensive, and in fact “costs less than a penny per subscriber per month,”
- CALEA compliance makes networks more secure, not less, and
- CALEA will not result in any privacy related issues beyond what exists under current wiretapping laws.
