Making up the rules: interception versus privacy. A dossier on digital wiretapping.
The Dutch organizations Buro Jansen & Janssen and Eurowatch present their online dossier on digital wiretapping, focussing especially on developments in Europe and the Netherlands.
Cyber crime, cyber terrorism and cyber warfare. These are three keywords in an ongoing effort of governments worldwide to enhance their digital wiretapping capabilities and counter the use of cryptography. "Making up the rules: interception versus privacy" discusses the efforts of the Council of Europe and the European Ministers of Justice and Home Affairs to harmonize their capabilities to wiretap the internet and facilitate cross-border law enforcement activities in Europe.
The dossier covers issues like Echelon, law enforcement internet tapping, cryptography, Enfopol and the cyber crime treaty. The privacy of internet users is the price governments are willing to pay in an ongoing battle to make the internet ready for large-scale tapping.
The dossier gives special attention to developments in The Netherlands, as it is the western country with the largest amount of taps per year according to a Dutch ministry of Justice report. In the march 2000 the Dutch national police division (KLPD) opened Europe's largest tapping facility capable of operating a 1000 simultaneous taps ranging from standard telephone lines to mobile telephony and the latest ICT technologies such as internet.
