CALEA and lawful intercept: A disappearing act? With Nick Johnson, Independent Telecom Consultant
About this episode
This episode explores the fading issue of CALEA and lawful intercept in the context of modern encryption and privacy concerns.
In Sparring Partners, I try to track down hot topics. This episode does the opposite by exploring an issue that has quietly faded from industry awareness: CALEA and lawfulintercept. Nick Johnson, an independent telecom consultant and friend since his days at ip.access, and I discuss how attention has shifted toward encryption and privacy, perhaps too much so. What is happening with wiretaps now that most traffic bypasses traditional carriers and goes through end-to-end encrypted apps? Does law enforcement have sufficient access to track down and prevent criminal activity? Is data extraction from end-user devices replacing traditional network-based intercepts? Will AI and quantum change how lawful intercept works and its effectiveness? If you want to know how the US government uses CALEA, check out the US Courts 2024 Wiretap Report. Note: Nick mentioned the Mavenir acquisition of ip.access as happening in 2000, but he meant 2020. More on Senza Fili at https://senzafili.com
