NFV Lawful Interception Complexities and Solutions
NFV Lawful Interception Complexities and Solutions
This White Paper addresses one narrow but significant subset of NFV compliance obligations – Lawful Interception (LI) and the acquisition location of target information at what has been called the Point of Interception (PoI). The topic is one that has considerable significance both for evidentiary purposes, and for the determination of jurisdiction and application of law, and includes access to Retained Data. This Paper describes how LI is readily accomplished using complementary LI Service instantiations to obtain “observables,” and how neither the legacy notions of “interception” nor a geophysical location are circumscribing constraints.
DOWNLOADUSA Freedom Act Implementation
This new White Paper examines the USA Freedom Act within the context of this evolving global data retention ecosystem and describes what is necessary to implement it. The USA Freedom Act was enacted to provide continuing metadata analytical capabilities to discover US domestic terrorists using electronic communications. The USA Freedom Act is also similar to legislation recently enacted by Australia, Canada, France, Switzerland, and the UK. The provisions flow from extensive global industry-government technical collaboration on these capabilities and data retention systems. Yaana has been leading the global technical specifications initiative and providing large-scale data retention service in multiple venues worldwide for more than a decade.
Network Virtualization and Deep Packet Inspection
Software-defined networks (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) represent unprecedented architectural openness which promises to drive down operational expense while enabling new services and analytics capabilities. Purpose-built network infrastructure appliances will be replaced by virtualized counterparts. New software capabilities like deep packet inspection and analytics will also emerge in this environment, enabling greater visibility and better insights into network use trends. This white paper discusses Yaana Smart Network & Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technology and how it fits into the context of SDN/NFV.
GSM Long Term Evolution (LTE)
Telecommunications network design evolves to support the nature of the applications that need to be carried out. Around year 2000, the global data traffic volume exceeded voice traffic volume. This white paper recounts the evolution of networks toward the current key characteristics: automated, digital, mobile and packet-based; and then discusses future trends and their impact on government’s ability to conduct lawful interceptions.
Communication and IT Network Compliance Obligations
This white paper is based on an effort led by Yaana in the ETSI Technical Committee for Cyber Security to pull together network operators and government officials to enumerate and structure all these obligations in the form of “by design” requirements - to see the commonalities and synergies among those obligations with a view to creating common platforms for compliance purposes.
Case Studies
Managed Service; Texas High-Speed Internet Service Provider
SOS received a Court Order from law enforcement requesting data regarding an ongoing investigation. With no prior experience dealing with a Court Order, SOS CEO Jerry Stephens solicited the help of the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association (WISPA) board for a referral of companies. Yaana is the only WISPA vendor with an end-to-end CALEA compliance solution.
Managed Service; Illinois Wireless Communications Provider
Cellular One needed to ensure they were CALEA compliant and could handle subpoenas for their billing records and subscriber’s information. In addition, they needed to detect loss of revenues due to mishandling of CDRs and allow them to reconcile with their roaming partners efficiently without economic loss. Yaana’s worked directly with Cellular One to prepare a solution for their CALEA needs.
Managed Service; Wisconsin Rural High-Speed Internet Provider
Bug Tussel needed to ensure they were CALEA compliant and could handle subpoenas for their billing records and subscribers' information. In addition, they needed to detect loss of revenues due to mishandling of CDRs and allow them to reconcile with their roaming partners efficiently without economic loss. All these revenue impacting issues and potential fines of non-compliance were Bug Tussel CFO’s critical worries. Yaana’s compliance and data analytics teams worked directly with Bug Tussel to prepare a cost-effective solution to provide CALEA compliance, subpoena processing and revenue assurance.
