Funded Activity Summary

Voice over Internet Protocol: Privacy and Electronic Evidence Implications. Consumers currently use the traditional technology of the Public Switched Telephone Network system without fear of eavesdropping. Law Enforcement has a legal right to intercept phone calls under prescribed conditions. This project offers support to policy makers and users in providing strategic advice in the secure transition of telecommunications to next generation networks. It provides a software solution to the threat to user privacy that may also feasibly be used to provide electronic evidence for law enforcement and intelligence agencies who increasingly have to look to means other than traditional telecommunications interception for evidence gathering from VoIP telephony.
