Oasis Forms "Lawful Intercept" XML Committee

Posted by Hemos on from the what-the-hobbes-is-that dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Oasis has announced the formation of the Lawful Intercept XML Technical Committee. The announcement refers to it as a "universal global framework for supporting rapid discovery and sharing of suspected criminal and terrorist evidence by law enforcement agencies." It's not really clear if this is supposed to aid in information exchange about suspicious activities/individuals, or 'intercepting' in the sense of eavesdropping, or what exactly."

    Real translation:

    Telecoms, ISP-s etc in some countries are required by law to intercept data when the police asks them to (with a warrant). Since the police isn't that bright we'll make a standard format to provide this information in to make it easier for them
