Carnivore und kein Ende


-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-

Nun hat auch eine illustre Experten Gruppe [Matt Blaze,
Tsutomu Shimomura und andere] Interesse an der
Architektur des Carnivore angemeldet, die gesetzlich
ermächtigten Behörden suchen noch immer eine
unabhängige Universiät, die den Datenfresser evaluieren soll.

An eminent group of security experts has offered to
undertake an independent review of the FBI's controversial
Carnivore surveillance system.

Attorney General Janet Reno said in early August that the
Justice Department would commission a study of Carnivore
from a major university, but she has not yet come to a final
decision as to which institution she will recruit for this
purpose.

The ad-hoc association of 13 security experts, who have
dubbed themselves the Open Carnivore group, includes
individuals such as AT&T Research's Matt Blaze and Tom
Perrine of the San Diego Supercomputer Center, both of
whom testified before Congress about Carnivore in July.

Justice Department spokesman Chris Watney said on
Monday that officials were "still in the process of selecting a
university to review Carnivore."

Purdue University independently contacted the Justice
Department and also offered to perform reviews. The
government hopes a review will satisfy critics who say

Other members of the Open Carnivore group include Peter
Neumann of SRI International, "Mudge" of @stake, Tsutomu
Shimomura, who helped track down convicted hacker Kevin
Mitnick, and David Wagner of the University of California at
Berkeley.

Privacy groups have said that, when installed at an Internet
service provider, Carnivore could be programmed to snack on
more traffic than it should. They also say that even if it works
as described -- intercepting massive amounts of data and
discarding what's not relevant -- Carnivore could violate the
Fourth Amendment's prohibition on unreasonable searches
and seizures.

"Even the independent university review won't answer all the
questions, because the reviewers won't know how the FBI
has employed it in past investigations and will employ it in
future investigations," says David Sobel of the Electronic
Privacy Information Center. "They're going to be looking at a
static piece of software...
