[ga] FYI: Verisign wire-tap friendly - Comments filed to FCC about CALEA Internet wiretapping
All former DNSO GA members other interested stakeholders/users,
Seems that Verisign is very friendly in snooping into your
communications with anyone. I wonder if Verisign will be
notifying those it is getting requests for wire-tapping of
it's customers? Chuck or Tony can you give us all some
direct answer on this??
Refrence see:
Note wiretap-hardware provider VeriSign's very wiretap-friendly stand:

The immediate declaratory statement sought in the Joint Petition
concerning the applicability of CALEA to packet-mode broadband
access and telephony services should be considered. Such a statement
seems fully consistent with Congress? enactment of CALEA, with
previous related Commission findings, and the arguments raised above.
> The technology, standards, and equipment exist to accomplish this
capability requirement at reasonable cost. VeriSign already provides
CALEA services for precisely this kind of broadband telephony,
and supports a declaration.
