Law enforcement in Identity space (NGN)

[edit] Why do we need to consider the needs of law enforcement in the identity management space?

Obligation to support Law Enforcement

Founded in democratic principle
Expected in citizen’s charter in Europe
Expected in European harmonisation frameworks

Mandate to support law enforcement

In some states and some jurisdictions

[edit] Forms of law enforcement in NGNs

  • Pre-arrest
Lawful interception
  • Incident management
Privileged access to network
GETS/WPS
Restricted access to network
GSM/3GPP/TETRA random access coding
  • Post-incident
Forensic support
Data retention

The LI issues probably don't need to be kept in ITU-T as these are already dealt with in ETSI and they act to coordinate the regional requirements.

[edit] Identity requirements

  • Identity needs to be legal and binding
In the context of the activity under investigation
  • Context needs to be identified
Needed if identity forms part of legal process
Location forms part of context
Relationships form part of context

The binding of context in the latter phases of law enforcement support will influence the loaction of identity management - particularly as for use in legal proceedings the data presented has to be provable (i.e. probably only authoritative identities can be processed).
