Lawful Intercept

Lawful Interception (LI) enables a LEA to perform electronic surveillance on an individual (a target) as authorized by a judicial or administrative order. To facilitate the lawful intercept process, certain legislation and regulations require service providers and Internet service providers to implement their networks to explicitly support authorized electronic surveillance. Actions taken by the service providers include: provisioning the target identity in the network to enable isolation of target communications (separating it from other users' communications), duplicating the communications for the purpose of sending the copy to the LEA, and delivering the Interception Product to the LEA.
