Protecting the Digital Chain of Custody
As criminal activity spreads from the real world to cyberspace and now to virtual worlds, protecting the integrity of digital evidence has become even more
Encryption and OTT apps limit the value of lawful eavesdropping tools like wiretaps, but mobile networks offer a powerful engine for new insights: real-time geographical awareness using high-accuracy location.
As with the broader missions of the law enforcement and intelligence communities, lawful intelligence must balance investigative rigor with the need to preserve privacy and other civil protections.
In investigations, lives depend on the reliability of lawful intelligence platforms. To help analysts maximize the value of all available data, these platforms require advanced testing and continuous updating.
Lawful interception of voice by LEAs harkens back to a time when unencrypted phone calls over a wireline carrier network defined electronic communication. In the smartphone era, other methods have proliferated.
By gathering, collating, and drawing possible conclusions from all available information, AI and ML can act as resource multipliers for lawful and location intelligence, just as they do for network operations.

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
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
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
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
The evolution of international 5G standards has brought increased privacy and security protections for users and data, which can be at odds with the needs
Communication service providers (CSPs) realize significant agility and cost benefits from cloud and edge deployment models made possible by cloud-native network architectures. Edge computing consumes
