An Internet provider must be able to intercept Internet traffic, like IP, VoIP and e-mail, if a legal warrant is submitted. There are commercial solutions as software, hardware and services to handle this. With OpenLI there is open source software for implementing LI. This talk will show the software, how to implement it and real use cases.

OpenLI (openli.nz) is an open source implementation of Lawful Interception (LI) based on the ETSI specifications for LI (ETSI 102 232). The origin of the software is from the University of Waikato in New Zealand. In New Zealand (and also in Australia) the ETSI standards are used for telecommunication including lawful interception. Therefore this open source software can also be used in Europe.

We use the ETSI standards and have a Dutch specification for the Dutch implementation (ETSI-IP.nl). The OpenLI software is adapted to fit for the Dutch situation.

The following topcis will pass in the session:
1. Brief introduction on the ETSI standards for LI
2. Brief introduction to the Lawful Intercept proces
3. Introduction on the OpenLI software
4. Implementation of OpenLI – how you can install and use it
