So what's the prospect for implementation? The claim is that law enforcement is supposed to have a back door to every computer system. Are we talking about escrow of root passwords, or what?
No. There are two points: 1) The network operators have to create a wiretapping system to be approved by the Regulation Authority, and operate dedicated digital lines for law enforcement access. As I understand it, Internet providers could be forced to duplicate IP packets to that line, when wiretapping has been ordered. 2) They have to keep files of customer data (name, address, etc.) that the Regulation Authority can access secretly at any time.
