Lawful Interception

From ITUwiki

Governments typically impose capability requirements on all public and often private communication infrastructure to capture and deliver to officials specific communications or signalling information associated with identified parties or described behavior to meet criminal forensic, regulatory (e.g., security trading) or national security needs. The operators of public networks in responding to incidents of harm to the network, or owners of private networks also implement such capabilities. This requirement typically results in the imposition by national authorities of architectures, practices, and specific identity management capabilities designed to assist authorized officials or persons.
