I believe I have an article concerning this at home.Embedded Computing mag I think.

The only other thing I know about using the tunnel is erasing your cookies before using it.I don't think we need these laws at all.If LE believe you are a terrorist they will have some kind of evidence to support a court ordered surveillance .

Did the article mention the name of the program?

I will look it up when I get home.

From my understanding CALEA is a mandate/act. Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act. In other words forcing Voice Over IP and Internet Providers to be compliant or face fines. The link you provided is very interesting and very technical. Now one can understand why the news rarely reports on it because it is difficult to understand if you are not in the field. The stuff they are working on will be able to monitor Level 2 to 7 of the OSI Model which is quite significant.

They are working on better software that will be released in the near future. The IP Fabrics DeepSweep Lawful Surveillance product seems to be the one they are working with at the moment.

Thanks for the link. Good info in there. Might be worth the read for those interested. Near the end is where you'll see some of the interesting stuff. The article is for the US but there is no stopping Canada from licensing it and/or creating their own.

I stumbled across something called Echelon during my research. Not much info on it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echelon...ntelligence%29
It's situated in New Brunswick so it's not the original computer/program I had read about as it was situated in Ottawa. Also listed as "cannot be clearly established" so not much known about the station but it is suspected of being part of Echelon.

If I remember correctly, I read about it on an article about the Toronto 18 and how they discovered them. So little info out there on what is going on in Canada with surveillance of the internet.

Addition to above. This might be it. CFS Leitrim http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFS_Leitrim

Recently it was reported a prof at the UofSherbrooke came up with a way to quickly do deep packet inspection on internet communications.A very demanding and highly paying field.From what I remember about the other article,gleaning info about who visits a known internet site is child's play.
