The “8th Layer” - Unifying Communication Signal Sources and Applications on One Platform
A wide range of communication media (access networks) is available to individuals and organizations, including, but not limited to, mobile networks (e.g. GSM/UMTS), fixed line networks, satellite networks (e.g. Thuraya, Inmarsat), the Internet (e.g. peer-to-peer VoIP services, email) and radio (HF, VHF and UHF). The challenge lies in bringing together the required interception and signal acquisition technologies in order to create a unified view by processing intercepted content on one centralized platform (e.g. signal classification, demodulation/decoding, speech processing), and thereby creating a standardized set of meta-data which provide the basis for advanced search/analysis functionality.

Separate Signal From Noise, Massive Data Analysis Tools
Everyday more and more data needs to be handled by the LEA's. How to correlate, consolidate and analyze this massive data, coming from multiple sources, such as CDR, social security, bank etc will be presented. Effective pattern matching, behavior, social network algorithms that provide the means to separate signal from noise will be discussed.
Rim Khazhin, BTT LTD


From Lawful to Massive Interception: Aggregation of sources
Nicolas Deckmyn, AMESYS


Passively Gathering Intelligence for LI and National Intelligence Agencies Law Enforcement
Agents need to comply with strict rules when handling target information. The LI process can however only function when the targets are known. These targets are identified through a number of ways, such as observations, information received from informants, etc.
Passive intelligence gathering, from land and satellite communications networks, plays a major role in identifying targets for the LI process. VASTech will discuss the Zebra system, with capturing and processing densities of than 15000 channels per 19” rack, to show how it can assist in identifying targets and benefit agencies in both the LI and intelligence communities.
Andre Scholtz, Sales and Marketing Director, VASTech


Investigation scenarios in a mass collection environment
Many organizations are drowning in a tidal wave of intercept data. In this session, NICE Systems presents a unique intelligence approach designed to help investigators produce meaningful intelligence from mass quantities of data.
Meron Colbeci, Product Manager, Intelligence Solutions Division, NICE Systems


Remote Forensic Software
The ever increasing amount of encrypted IP traffic makes life constantly more difficult for law enforcement and intelligence agencies. We show how much information can be lost if only a passive tapping of IP traffic is applied and what additional information can be gained by installing a remote forensic software on the target machine. This talk is complemented by a live demonstration of the software in Track 5.
Michael Thomas, DigiTask GmbH


Overcoming Traditional Challenges to Analyzing IP Content
As larger and larger “pipes” connect subscribers to the internet, and users use those pipes to communicate in even newer ways, law enforcement is challenged to accurately and quickly identify useful and interesting information from the volumes of packets flowing to and from those subscribers. Analysis solutions need to be able to handle both high volumes of traffic and the curve balls that Web 2.0 internet traffic can throw at you. Luckily techniques exist for both breaking down the traffic and performing new and interesting analysis of IP data. In this session we look at a tool that takes these challenges head on and reveals to law enforcement exactly what the subscriber saw and experienced, almost as if the agent was looking over the target's shoulder.
Erik de Bueger, European Director of Sales, SS8 Networks


Dual Usage Strategy of Lawful Interception Systems
3G UMTS and IP based NGN networks can benefit today from a cost saving strategy of dual commercial and lawful interception usage. This strategy brings considerable cost savings to both operators and LEAs while not sacrificing any performance, security, functionality or standardization aspects. The systems can be configured to generate new revenues to the operator, to save additional costs of operations of networks, prevent and minimize fraud and more. Dual usage Lawful Interception systems are usually better maintained and function over time due to mutual interests of Operators and LEAs.
Elan Sharon, Chief Sales, Marketing & Operations Officer, Septier Communication


Data in a Haystack-Monitoring Systems with Advanced Workflow Management
The volume of data to be processed by monitoring systems has dramatically increased lately.

The New Front Line: Dealing With Retained Communications Data Explosion
Law enforcement agencies recognize that the individual nature of communications is being lost. With modern technology, links that previously defined a clear association between people are now relatively few. They have been replaced by complex networks, in which the connections are numerous but weak. As a consequence, criminal behavior no longer appears on the radar of traditional interception systems and the threat has become less clear. Given this new environment, Detica will outline how the entire approach to retained communications data analysis needs to change to ensure we are not overwhelmed by the "data explosion".
Richard Jarvis, Data Retention Manager, Detica

Multi-Level System of Voice Biometrics
This presentation is about the complex use of automatic and expert methods of speaker identification by voice. We first highlight that automatic methods are primarily used for search tasks while expert ones are aimed at forensic tasks. Most expert methods are traditionally based on extraction and comparison of linguistic features. That makes it virtually impossible to study short recordings or the recordings in the language unknown to an expert. Finally, we introduce and show the results of the Formant Matching method developed at Speech Technology Center that does not share the limitations mentioned above.

Data Retention Efficient and Compact
René Nitzinger, Product Manager, Transaction Security, Utimaco Safeware AG


The Challenges of Collecting Data for Sophisticated and Nomadic Targets in Next-Generation Networks
Lawfully Authorized Electronic Surveillance (LAES) is challenging companies to retain data through various criteria, across multiple next-generation networks - not an easy task when considering the expansive subscriber bases and massive amounts of data traveling across a service provider network. Data comes with multiple and overlapping criteria including: IP address, MAC address, phone number, SIP URL and email. Add that to the multitude of next-generation networks that many enterprises support - Wireless, WiMAX, cable and IMS, to name a few - and even the best efforts to retain data can fall short. This session will acknowledge the ever-present challenges presented by LAES, and how services providers can streamline efforts to remain compliant and efficient with their data retention strategies.
Shane O'Flynn, VP Client Services, Openet


Interceptions and retained data: how to manage huge amount of data with an analysis tool
Is it really enough using the “best of breed” software tools to generate intelligence and evidences? The critical task of analyzing LI data is not just a matter of "powerful "best-of-breed" tools but also requires a good capability to easily interface different systems and be compliant with recent ETSI (RDHI) standards.

The Realities of Dealing with Data Retention Mandates
With only an hour's notice, telecoms operators (telcos) must be prepared to hand over call records backdated up to two years on an individual in accordance with mandates such as the European Directive on Data Retention. This presents an interesting challenge: How do telcos stay at the forefront of recent industry changes such as VoIP and pre-paid services, while at the same time dealing with these new mandates? It's a harsh reality to grapple with when it involves combing through as many as 50 million subscriber records for the needed information - all without impacting customer service. This presentation will discuss effective strategies for meeting the European Directive on Data Retention, while also allowing your network the flexibility to keep up with the sifting telcos landscape.
Shane O'Flynn, VP Client Services, Openet

This presentation will describe high level architectures for how to access and deliver the required information. Technologies for interception in traditional circuit switched as well as IP networks will be presented. A general reference architecture for access to communication data and content of communication will be shown.
Stefan Bjornson, Cecratech and 1st Vice Chairman, ETSI/TC LI


IP Interception: VoIP, e-mail, WLAN ...
Interception of (voice over) IP sessions and e-mail has become a major focus point for most law enforcement agencies. ETSI/TC LI covers this need by producing clear standards for the handover of intercepted IP, voice over IP and e-mail. This presentation will give insight in the various IP handover specifications TC LI produced up to date.
Mark Lastdrager, CEO, Pine Digital Security


Requirements for Handling of Retained Data
Data Retention is for Law Enforcement in some respect more important than Lawful Interception. It is the start of many investigations. The EU Data Retention Directive confirms these needs and sets a move from delivering available information to mandatory retention for law enforcement purposes. ETSI/TC-LI is the group to standardize Data Retention to make efficient implementations feasible. The EU Data Retention Directive and the additional requirements from individual countries had therefore to be worked our in detail in TC-LI.
Koen Jaspers, PIDS, The Netherlands Ministerie


Handover Interface for Retained Data
Data retention provides vital information to law enforcement agencies but the number of challenges and issues in this space is increasing rapidly. At ETSI we are addressing one of these challenges: how to exchange information between service providers and government. We are developing an interface to request and deliver retained data in a clear, comprehensible, accurate and secure manner. Our interface is designed with current and future challenges in mind and has the support of representatives from government, service providers and equipment manufacturers. Mark will briefly explain what we are doing at ETSI and how it can be of use to everyone involved in data retention.
Mark Shepherd, NTAC Consultant of Security, Detica


Data Retention for Intelligence Support Systems Market
Andrea Fabrizi, General Manager, HP Dragon, Hewlett Packard Company


“The Devil is in the Details”
After the Madrid bombings, the EU now requires all European telecommunication and Internet service providers to retain all call detail records (CDRs)/data for up to Two years, with the ability to retrieve them quickly to access criminal activities. Under Phase 2 of the directive, which becomes effective by March 2009, these companies will also need to retain and report on various IP records, including VoIP and e-mails and correlate these with call and SMS records. This additional requirement is expected to generate six to eight times the volume of stored records as Phase 1 but will require similar short response times to Law Enforcement Requests. Currently, mobile phone records are putting murderers behind bars for life. So, what are the telcos to do to meet these requirements and how can they assist law enforcement to do their jobs more effectively? Agora, along with SenSage will provide best practices to meet the EU criminal tracking mandates by the deadline.

The Scope of Different Automatic Speaker Identification Methods
There are a number of methods for automatic speaker identification by voice. The most wide-spread is the one based on Gaussian mixture models (GMM). However, the most efficient systems combine several different methods since each method has its own limitations. These limitations are concerned with the length and quality of a speech signal, emotional state of a speaker, large time gap (e.g. several years) between the recordings to compare, etc. Simple but scientifically founded recommendations on the use of different speaker identification methods (spectral method, pitch statistics and GMM) for voice biometrics are presented

Wednesday, 1 October 2008


Mobile Surveillance, Location Technology and Satellite Monitoring-Demonstration
ThorpeGlen solutions provide real-time tracking and historic monitoring or targets nationally - providing a geographic profile that enables investigators to take the next step in closer surveillance or final apprehension. Given that most savvy targets are changing their handset and SIM regularly - the challenge in tracking changing target numbers is an area we specialize in. We will provide a demonstration of our system with a Case Study to track and locate a target given an old Mobile phone number - knowing that NOW the target is probably using a different SIM and handset - to locate where the suspect lives. With “easy to use” buttons in our system it does not rely on detailed Telecommunications knowledge by the Analyst to track and locate a target within minutes - all details are able to be viewed in graphical form - without having to export data to other graphical applications. Simple click of a button to produce link chart, timelines, target details and target location on maps. We will demonstrate how fast this can be done - the outcome is to increase case throughput and obtaining target location information quickly - which in many cases may mean saving lives or assets.

Investigation and Profiling In P2P Networks
P2P networks are widely know to be massively used to exchange copyright-protected content. While this is certainly of interest to law enforcement agents, their use for the exchange of information related to terrorism or child pornography is much more significant. We present our unique P2P investigation system with a proven record in court-proof investigation of copyright infringements in file sharing networks. We show how this system can be deployed to profile and investigate the use of P2P networks by criminals trying to covertly exchange information.
