Abstract

Lawful interception (LI) has evolved over the past few decades from target based monitoring & interception of telecomm conversations, to the monitoring & interception of packet switched (IP) communications. However, in spite of this evolution, the nature of the communication remained linear, where the initiator communicates with one, or a number of, recipients. Initially, with telecomm, all of the participants in the call were online, i.e. active participants at the time of the call; whereas, with the introduction of packet-switched or IP traffic, some of the interaction between the participants became turn-based, where the recipients receive the information from the initiator after an interval. Notwithstanding spam, the participants, more often than not, opted to receive the information.
