I was under the impression that CALEA was for telephone call intercepts?

Subject: [AFMUG] CALEA and WiFi

CALEA hasn’t been on my radar much, so this is probably an old topic, but it’s 
one I don’t know much about.

 

If you provide WiFi in a public space how do you handle compliance?  We have 
parks, airports, and other public spaces with managed WiFi.  There are also 
MDU’s with WiFi in a public area like a courtyard, lounge, lobby, etc.

 

My understanding is you have to be able to capture traffic if you’re ordered to 
do so.  Do you also have to be able to identify the individual?  

 

If they ever asked me to capture all traffic from the park WiFi….sure no 
problem.  If they gave me a particular IP, port, and time, and they wanted me 
to start capturing traffic AND identify who it was, then I would only be able 
to tell them it was someone at the park.  At best I could give them a MAC 
address and hostname.  If I have to identify the customer that’s easy: the 
municipal parks department, but I’m guessing that’s not what they will want to 
know.

 

Will this stuff get us in trouble?
