TICSA and lawful intercept
by Dave Mill 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

Hi all So, probably a bit a touchy subject this one but here goes.. If you are a network operator and you have more than 4000 customers in my understanding you need to have full interceptions capabilities. (I'm not a lawyer, etc, etc) This is more than just being 'interception ready'. http://www.police.govt.nz/advice/businesses-and-organisations/ticsa/interce… This will mean having a mediation system and being able to produce intercept data in the ETSI standard - again, as far as I know. What are companies/organisations out there doing about this? Is there a nice open source solution out there for this? (I haven't found one yet) Are people putting their heads in the sand and praying they never get served a warrant? Is everyone just shelling out hundreds of thousands of dollars on a vendor LI solutions? What network kit are people integrating with LI in NZ? And note, the last paragraph on the URL I linked above reads: "Can I share interception capability resources? Network operators may co-ordinate, share or contract for services (equipment or staff) in order to meet the interception capability requirements in the Act. However, it remains the responsibility of the network operator to ensure that any such arrangement does not affect any obligations that apply under the Act. Before entering into any such arrangement a network operator must notify the Director of the GCSB." Replies on or off list welcomed. Cheers Dave (AS17705)
