摘要
The steps taken by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding extension of communications for Law Enforcement Act to voice over IP, are discussed. The Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act(CALEA), passed in 1944 by US Congress, was controversial as, it stated that telephone networks standards would be determined through consultation with the FBI. The attempt to apply CALEA to VoIP poses much risk to the US economy through the potential loss of corporate information and to US national security through the provision of cost-effective massive intelligence gathering, which harms privacy and the freedom of US citizens. Application of CALEA requirements to the Internet are causing security harms and should not be approved.
