Five Challenges of Gathering Digital Evidence in a 5G World
It’s an irony of this moment that, even as 5G networks increase the amount of data on public networks by orders of magnitude, the technology
The ability to ingest and analyze an unlimited range of data sources is a key requirement for a modern lawful intelligence practice. The data may include lawfully intercepted communications, location information,
Accurate, immediate, reliable caller-location information is critical for public safety answering points (PSAPs) to guide the response to emergency services calls. While international standards help spur
Regulators have required geographic redundancy for the network resources operated by communication service providers (CSPs) for some time but meeting this mandate has become more complex with recent changes
Codes and ciphers have long been used to hide communications, and the practice continues to evolve and become more sophisticated and widespread today. When the first graphical internet browsers appeared
While lawful interception is often thought to have begun with wiretapping, pen registers actually predate that practice and telephones themselves, having been developed during the telegraph age. The critical
It’s an irony of this moment that, even as 5G networks increase the amount of data on public networks by orders of magnitude, the technology
As communication service providers (CSPs) continue to build out 5G networks, standards-based infrastructure is replacing the proprietary interfaces, formats, and protocols of previous technology generations.
Most telecommunications carriers operate equipment from different generations of technology, and often have multiple vendor environment. Carriers can accrete these layers over time, as their
As unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) become more common, they are of growing interest to law enforcement agencies (LEAs). Drones have been widely adopted as part
As 5G networks roll out across the world, law enforcement agencies (LEAs) are being forced to reimagine investigation methods related to lawful intelligence. The types
The metadata that surrounds the data payloads for lawful intelligence intercepts has become as important as the payload data itself. Location data, for example, can
Successive generations of technology continue to enable the discovery, assembly, and analysis of information that plays a key role in every law-enforcement investigation. Digitization helped
The history of lawful intelligence runs a parallel course to the evolution of communications technology, from wiretaps placed on mechanical switches in the last century
We are in an intensive era of cloud adoption by communication service providers (CSPs) for 5G networks. This shift is driven by the need for
The introduction of 5G, high bandwidth services, and new applications mark a new, intensive era of cloud adoption by communication service providers (CSPs) for their
The process of deploying and integrating solutions for lawful interception, handover, and analysis of network data is complex, but well-charted. Looking carefully at previously completed
With the increased attention to information privacy in recent years, a majority of electronic communications are now encrypted. Having that information irretrievably hidden creates novel
As billions of IoT devices are provisioned, their multitude of roles are mirrored by their complex impact on lawful intelligence. Endpoints that range from consumer
The evolution of wide-area networking continues to drive processing out to the network edge. That trend first gained traction with widespread cloud adoption, and it
Two Decades of Lawful Interception Technology Innovation A couple of weeks ago, our marketing team let me know that SS8 was going to be 20
Many have used the terms uplink and downlink and they may become more colorful when our video calls drop off. But are “uplink” and “downlink”
Having location capabilities in a mobile network was originally an afterthought. The first Global System for Mobile (GSM) network was launched in Finland in 1991
Overview There are two broad types of surveillance capabilities and they are classified as Targeted Intercept and Bulk (Mass) Intercept. Targeted interception, or targeted surveillance,
For the last 50 years, the telecom industry has been happily providing technology for people to make voice calls, and to assure proper accounting they
5G is the most exciting new technology when it comes to wireless communications. Just like when 4G/LTE enabled many application developments that changed the way
