Intelligent Network (IN) - Lawful interception

The scope of this ETSI Guide is to cover the standardisation of functions to allow lawful interception of services running in on IN platform. These functions probably need to be defined in the SSP anc SCP, including the information flox between these entities. Alternatives will, however, be investigated. As specific parts of the information flow are confidential, security aspects need to be addressed.  Reference documents: ETR 330, ETR 331, ES 201 158.

1 Scope
The present document lays down architectural requirements for the lawful interception of IN services. Those
requirements shall be fulfilled to allow the Network Operator, an Access Provider or a Service Provider
(NWO/AP/SvP) to implement an interception order from a Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) and to provide the
handover interface to the LEA which is described in other documents. The provision of lawful interception is a
requirement of national law, which is usually mandatory for the operation of any telecommunication service.
The present document specifies the generic flow of information and generic interfaces, which are focussing on IN
capability set CS1and CS2 services. Future services should follow the guidelines where possible.
CS3, CS4 and CAMEL are not examined in this version of the document but may be included in future versions.
The present document does not specify how these generic flows of information and generic interfaces shall be used to
intercept a specific IN service. There will normally be several implementation methods available by using the generic
interfaces. Details for a service, which affects the way interception is already carried out shall be negotiated between the
NWO/AP/SvPs and the responsible regulatory authority on a national basis.
Where applicable, this guide is based on other ETSI standards or ITU-T Recommendations in the area of
telecommunication services. The reader should be familiar with the referenced standards/recommendations, including
the ITU Recommendations, which are endorsed by many of the referenced ETSI standards.
It is not intended to define enhancements of specific interfaces like HI2 and HI3 in the present document. This work
shall be covered by other ETSI documents.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in [1], [2] and [3] and the following apply:
accountability: principle whereby individuals are held responsible for the effect of any of their actions that might lead
to a violation
access provider: access provider provides a user of some network with access from the user's terminal to that network
NOTE 1: This definition applies specifically for the present document. In a particular case, the access provider and
network operator may be a common commercial entity.
NOTE 2: The definitions from ETR 331 have been expanded to include reference to an access provider, where
appropriate.
activation/deactivation: procedures for activation, which is the operation of bringing the service into the "ready for
invocation" state, and deactivation, which is the complementary action, are described in this clause. For some services
there may be a specific user procedure to allow activation and deactivation as necessary, whilst for others the service is
permanently activated on provision and thus no procedure is provided (see [5])
availability: avoidance of unacceptable delay in obtaining authorized access to information or IT resources
call: any temporarily switched connection capable of transferring information between two or more users of a
telecommunications system. In this context a user may be a person or a machine
call identifier: number, generated automatically by the internal interception function for each call or call leg of a
intercept subject identity
confidentiality: avoidance of the disclosure of information without the permission of its owner
content of communication: information exchanged between two or more users of a telecommunications service,
excluding intercept related information. This includes information which may, as part of some telecommunications
service, be stored by one user for subsequent retrieval by another
handover interface: physical and logical interface across which the interception measures are requested from network
operator / access provider / service provider, and the results of interception are delivered from a network operator /
access provider / service provider to a law enforcement monitoring facility

HI1 Information: data received over the HI1 Interface
identity: system-unique tag applied to a user
IN call: call, which involves the IN layer. It may involve a virtual subscriber, but it may also only involve an operator
network function, like Number Portability
IN service: service, which uses IN technology
Integrity: avoidance of the unauthorized modification of information
interception: action (based on the law), performed by an network operator / access provider / service provider, of
making available certain information and providing that information to a law enforcement monitoring facility
NOTE 3: In the present document the term interception is not used to describe the action of observing
communications by a law enforcement agency (see below).
intercept related information: collection of information or data associated with telecommunication services involving
the intercept subject identity, specifically call associated information or data (e.g. unsuccessful call attempts), service
associated information or data (e.g. service profile management by subscriber) and location information
interception Subject: person or persons, specified in a lawful authorization, whose telecommunications are to be
intercepted
internal network interface: network's internal interface between the Internal Intercepting Function and a mediation
device
invocation and operation: these terms describes the action and conditions under which the service is brought into
operation; in the case of a lawful interception this may only be on a particular call. It should be noted that when lawful
interception is activated, it shall be invoked on all calls (Invocation takes place either subsequent to or simultaneously
with activation.). Operation is the procedure which occurs once a service has been invoked. Remark: The definition is
based on [5], but has been adopted for the special application of lawful interception, instead of supplementary services
law enforcement agency: organization authorized by a lawful authorization based on a national law to request
interception measures and to receive the results of telecommunications interceptions
law enforcement monitoring facility: enforcement facility designated as the transmission destination for the results of
interception relating to a particular interception subject
lawful authorization: permission granted to a LEA under certain conditions to intercept specified telecommunications
and requiring co-operation from a network operator / access provider / service provider. Typically this refers to a
warrant or order issued by a lawfully authorized body
lawful interception: see interception
lawful interception identifier: identifier, generated by the law enforcement agency, which relates to a specific lawful
authorization. It is used as an alias for the intercept subject identity
LI list: list with intercept subject identities
LI data: information (e.g. prefix, INAP operation, parameter in some INAP operation etc.) that enables the execution
(start, duration and end) of the intercept warrant in the switching layer. This LI data is to be sent on a call by call basis,
as opposed to only when the intercept period starts and ends
location information: information relating to the geographic, physical or logical location of an identity relating to an
interception subject
mediation device: equipment, which realizes the mediation function
mediation func
