Session A Distributed VoIP Networks Creating More Complex Call Flows
Cemal Dikmen, CTO, SS8 Networks
Cable companies were the early adopters and providers of VoIP telephony in North America but as VoIP deployments rapidly expand around the rest of the world, LI solutions need to be redesigned. Initial VoIP deployments seven or eight years ago utilized a single centralized switching node, similar to traditional voice switching strategies, with distributed media control at the edges of the network. But today's deployments are more complex as even the switching and control functions are being distributed across elements like application servers, feature servers, conferencing servers, and SBCs from companies like Broadsoft, Sylantro and AcmePacket.
This presentation reviews different VoIP deployments and the effect on LI solutions.

Session A Why LI Probes Need To Become Smarter
Klaus Mochalski, CEO, Ipoque
Investigators of IP communication are challenged by a high number of applications rising along with network data rates. At the same time, they do not have more data analysis resources available. Hiding in the crowd has never been easier. The only way out is a smart filtering of intercepted communication that disposes of irrelevant data while providing interesting information with a high level of detail. This talk takes a closer look at these new challenges and argues that only smart probes can solve them.

Konstantyn Filonenko, Crypton-M, Ltd.
Fast development of communication systems, using huge variety of modulation and coding types creates the big challenge for communication monitoring (interception) solutions. There are two principle approaches to provision of informational access - development of specialized front-ends for each and every type of communication signals or usage of universal front-end solutions. The revolutional approach in development of universal front-end solutions is the creation of re-programmable front-ends, being able to receive and process the communication signals with various modulations and codings by means of software changes, without any necessity of changing hardware. Such an approach allows effective updating of existing interception systems and expansion of their capabilities both for existing and perspective communication systems. This presentation represents the new product of our company - the universal Front-End solution, which can be used for interception and procession of various communication signals, including, but not limited to GSM, CDMA, GPRS, EDGE, 3G, UMTS, HSPA.

ThorpeGlen solutions take the next step from large scale Data Retention and storage to provide intelligent analysis of that data whilst still at the Telco premises, thus negating need to backhaul massive amounts of data. At a Central Monitoring Centre site and with the use of fast and easy to use built in Graphical applications we can extract Link charts, timelines and social and geographic profiling from targeted data - extracted and sorted quickly from billions of Telecommunications transactions. The solutions are aimed at National Security Agency and Major Crime Units who don't necessarily have staff with in depth Telecommunications skills - our systems have been developed based on feedback from Customers also whose first language may not be English. The outcome is to extract actionable Intelligence (and evidence) from complex Telecommunications data - fast and easily.

ThorpeGlen solutions provide can provide real-time tracking and historic monitoring or targets nationally - providing a geographic profile that enables investigators to take the next step in closer surveillance or final apprehension. Given that most savvy targets are changing their handset and SIM regularly - the challenge in tracking changing target numbers is an area we specialize in. We will provide a demonstration of our system with a Case Study to track and locate a target. With easy to use buttons in our system it does not rely on detailed Telecommunications knowledge by the Analyst to track and locate a target within minutes - all details are able to be viewed in graphical form - without having to export data to other graphical applications. Simple click of a button to produce link chart, timelines, target details and target location on maps. We will demonstrate how fast this can be done - the outcome is to increase case throughput and obtaining target location information quickly - which in may cases may mean saving lives or assets.

Session A Application Targeting and Traffic Analysis: The Future of Lawful Intercept
Joe Hess, Product Management, Narus
Brett Taylor, Systems Engineer, Narus
In the future, law enforcement will be forced to specify targets by their application name and type rather than numerical values like IP addresses as users will increasingly use mobile equipment where their location on the network is unknown. A network user's ability to receive and forward traffic via remote agents will become increasingly prevalent, so that again hard identification based on network location and address will have far less meaning than today. The ability to keep track of this data and retain it also becomes much more critical. With huge volumes of data and meta data collected and retained, new methods are required to search and display captured data embedded in the stored traffic for rapid and complete analysis. This technology will become a key component of future traffic intelligence systems.

Session B Recreating the Target's Broadband Experience
Erik de Bueger, Director Sales, Northern Europe, SS8 Networks
Simple tools like Wireshark can provide a sophisticated technologist with the raw packet content of a target's broadband session but the information it provides lacks the context and content that the target experienced originally. A "hex dump" of the packets provides the exact exchange of information but doesn't render the web pages, chat sessions, and emails in a way that is easily recognizable or usable. New tools are needed to accurately recreate the target's broadband session so that law enforcement can examine readily identify subtle communication techniques like changes to emoticons or avatars. This session describes the characteristics of what a state-of-the-art solution should include for broadband analysis.

Session C Designing Advanced Audio Video Forensic Laboratories with Tactical Field Consideration
David Robinson, Consultant, Audio/Video Forensic Laboratory Design & Training
Covering the key parameters of Audio & Video Laboratory Design with particular emphasis on the current day requirements related to both Criminal and Intelligence missions. New techniques are emerging that dictate that back-end Laboratory Specialists now bridge the gap to the front-end Agents thus allowing the gathering of Speaker Intelligence from environments formerly presenting significant difficulty. What are the key advantages of developing a "fully integrated" Laboratory design and what exactly is involved in this process in terms of equipment and operator/analyst skills? Also being shown is a new powerful automated noise cleaning technology that links to the Field Agent and/or Monitoring Center to clean noise from speech. In addition a new system design related to Field Deployment of Tactical AV forensic systems will be shown and discussed.

Session C Advanced Signal Processing of Noise and the recovery of intelligible Speech Intelligence
Dr. Chistopher Hicks Phd. MA. Engineering Director CEDAR Audio Ltd. Former Chairman AES - UK
David Robinson, Consultant, Audio/Video Forensic Laboratory Design & Training
Gathering of intelligible speech is of the utmost importance to many Agencies and Organizations. Understanding what exactly is being said within the context of a multi-dimensional background noise environment is the main barrier faced by those concerned. This session will focus on the effective recovery of intelligible speech using systematic algorithmic approaches to mitigate noise problems and uses real world audio examples. After presentation there will be an actual demonstration of equipment using real world examples. This session will finish with a demonstration of the latest "automatic" batch file noise cleaning system and also the latest Field Tactical Audio Forensic System.
