Foreword
This Technical Specification (TS) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Lawful Interception (LI).
Introduction
The intention of the present document has been to follow the advice given at ETSI meetings in all cases.
The present document focuses on intercepting HI2 data in relation to the use of Internet Access Services and is to be
used in conjunction with the TS 102 232 [2]. In the latter document the handing over of the intercepted data is
described.

1 Scope
The present document contains a stage 1 description of the interception information in relation to the process of binding
a "target identity" to an IP address when providing Internet Access and a stage 2 description of when Intercept Related
Information (IRI) and Content of Communication (CC) shall be sent, and what information it shall contain.
The study shall include but not be restricted to IRI based on application of Dynamic Host Configuration protocol
(DHCP) and Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) technology for binding a "target identity" to an IP
address and CC for the intercepted IP packets.
The definition of the Handover Interface 2 (HI2) and Handover Interface 3 (HI3) is outside the scope of the present
document. For the handover interface is referred to TS 102 232 [2].

4 General
4.1 Internet Access Service (IAS)
An Internet Access Service (IAS) provides access to the Internet to end users via a modem connected to a telephone-,
cable- or wireless access network owned by a Network Operator (NWO). The Internet Access Service is typically
provided by an Internet Access Provider (IAP) or Internet Service Providers (ISP), where an ISP also provides
supplementary services such as E-Mail, Chat, News, etc. For the remainder of the document, the provider of the Internet
Access Service will be referred to as IAP and although NWO and IAP may be the same party, in all figures in the
present document, they are depicted as separate entities.

Figure 1: Internet access
The customer typically connects to the IAP via a Telco or Cable company owned access network, such as the
PSTN/ISDN telephony network for Dial-up and xDSL access, the Cable-TV network for Cable Modem access or
alternatively a IEEE 802.11B [13] wireless network for WiFi access.
The service provided by the IAP is no more and no less than to provide a user with a valid IP address for transporting
and receiving data over an IP based network and to provide transit access to the Internet for this data.
4.2 Target identity and IP address
Before the IAP can provide a user with a valid IP address, there is a need for Authentication, Authorization and during
or at the end of the communication session there is a need for Accounting.
In order to perform these functions, the IAP may deploy equipment in its network that implements an Authentication,
Authorization and Accounting (AAA) protocol such as RADIUS. The other protocol mentioned in the scope
declaration, DHCP, is not really an AAA protocol, since it does very limited authentication and no authorization or
accounting. DHCP can assign IP addresses and provide network configuration information to the user and is therefore
often used in combination with RADIUS or other (proprietary) equipment.
When a user is authenticated and authorized, the IAP will assign an IP address to the user. The assignment of the IP
address can be performed by using RADIUS, DHCP or a combination of the two. In the latter case, often the RADIUS
server will act as a client to the DHCP server, where the DHCP server assigns the IP address and the RADIUS server
forwards the information towards the user. The user will use the assigned IP address to communicate over the Internet
and therefore, for the duration of the session, traffic from and to this user can be identified by means of this IP address.
In some cases (e.g. dial-up access), the Network Access Server (NAS) may assign the IP address to the user; either from
a local IP address pool or by using DHCP and does not use RADIUS authentication for IP address assignment.

From an LI perspective, the moments of assignment and deassignment of the IP address and the protocol used for it are
of interest. It is at the moment of assignment, and only at that particular moment, that the target identity can be tied to a
dynamically assigned IP address, which can then further be used to intercept IP traffic from the particular user. At the
moment of deassignment, interception of IP data based on that particular IP address must stop immediately, since the IP
address may be handed out to another user shortly after.
4.3 Lawful Interception requirements
This clause lists the requirements for Lawful Interception. These requirements are derived from higher-level
requirements listed in ES 201 671 [1] and TS 102 232 [2] and are specific to Internet Access Services. These
requirements focus on both the administrative part of Internet Access for delivery over HI2 as well as capturing traffic
for delivery over HI3.
4.3.1 Target identity
Where the special properties of a given service, and the justified requirements of the LEAs, necessitate the use of
various identifying characteristics for determination of the traffic to be intercepted, the provider (CSP) shall ensure that
the traffic can be intercepted on the basis of these characteristics.
In each case the characteristics shall be identifiable without unreasonable effort and shall be such that they allow clear
determination of the traffic to be intercepted.
The target identity will be dependant on the access mechanism used and the parameters available with the AP. The
target identity could be based on:
a) Username or Network Access Identifier (as defined in RFC 2486 [7]);
b) IP address (IPv4 or IPv6);
c) Ethernet address;
d) Dial-in number calling line identity;
e) Cable Modem Identifier;
f) Other unique identifier agreed between AP and LEA.
The target identity must uniquely identify the target in the provider's network. Investigations prior to the interception
might involve other identifiers such as a DNS name (Fully Qualified Domain Name). Further study may yield more
types of target identity.
4.3.2 Result of interception
The network operator, access provider or service provider shall provide Intercept Related Information (IRI), in relation
to each target service:
a) when an attempt is made to access the access network;
b) when an access to the access network is permitted;
c) when an access to the access network is not permitted;
d) on change of status (e.g. in the access network);
e) on change of location (this can be related or unrelated to the communication or at all times when the apparatus
is switched on).
The IRI shall contain:
a) identities used by or associated with the target identity (e.g. dial-in calling line number and called line number,
access server identity, Ethernet addresses, access device identifier);
b) details of services used and their associated parameters;
