OASIS Members to Create Framework for Global Sharing of Criminal and
Terrorist Evidence
XML Specification Will Deliver Reliable Authentication and Auditing to
Safeguard Privacy and Increase Effectiveness of Lawful Intercepts
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boston, MA, USA. January 23, 2003.
The OASIS standards consortium today announced the formation of a new
technical committee to develop a universal global framework for supporting
rapid discovery and sharing of suspected criminal and terrorist evidence by
law enforcement agencies. The OASIS LegalXML Lawful Intercept XML (LI-XML)
Technical Committee was formed to meet critical needs emerging from several
national and intergovernmental mandates around the world, including the
recently passed United States Homeland Security Information Sharing Act of
2002, the new Lawful Intercept additional protocol of the European
Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters, and e-Government
mandates in Europe and the United States.
"As the ability for criminals and terrorists to access technology increases,
the challenge for law enforcement to detect, comply with legal process, and
implement evidence discovery tools also grows," noted Anthony M. Rutkowski
of VeriSign, chair of the OASIS LegalXML LI-XML Technical Committee.
"Government agencies as well as providers of electronic communication
services worldwide will benefit from uniform XML schema that facilitates
fully electronic receipt, authentication, and implementation of lawful
process."
Rutkowski added that the enhanced precision, authentication, and audit
features provided by LI-XML will result in greater public trust in the
traditionally sensitive area of legal discovery.
As part of the OASIS LegalXML Member Section, the LI-XML specification will
be designed to support an end-to-end legal process where law enforcement,
justice, and security agencies are the principal beneficiaries. LI-XML
Technical Committee members plan to work closely with related OASIS efforts
including the LegalXML Electronic Court Filing and OASIS e-Government
Technical Committees.
"LI-XML is the latest in a growing number of OASIS Technical Committees that
address the needs of the public sector," noted Karl Best, vice president of
OASIS. "We are encouraged to see government agencies and representatives
from around the globe joining OASIS to advance this effort, along with our
e-Government, Tax XML and other LegalXML initiatives."
Participation in the OASIS LegalXML LI-XML Technical Committee remains open
to all organizations and individuals. OASIS will host an open mail list for
public comment, and completed work will be freely available to the public
without licensing or other fees. Information on joining OASIS can be found
on http://www.oasis-open.org/join.
