CALEA amd such impose mandates on communications providers, not end users. In fact, one of the popular ideas floating around right now to deal with the CALEA mandate is to simply tell all of your users to turn on IPSEC, which is host-based, and then the feds can tap whatever they want. CALEA (specifically) doesn't require that the communications providers produce a way to use the information on a network, they are simply required to give the feds access to everything flowing over the network. If the network operator does not have the means to decrypt it, it's the feds problem (under present interpretations). Of course, for this cop-out to work, the network operator really does need to avoid controlling the means to decrypt stuff, specifically the private keys on the PKI certificates.
