Describe the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA).

What will be an ideal response?

The CALEA requires telecommunications carriers and equipment manufacturers to provide for surveillance capabilities. ?CALEA was passed by Congress in 1994 after pressure from the FBI, which worried that networks relying solely on digital communications would circumvent traditional wiretapping strategies. In other words, a phone call made using VoIP over a private WAN cannot be intercepted as easily as a phone call made via the PSTN. Therefore, if you work at an ISP, for example, your switches and routers must provide an interface for electronic eavesdropping and your staff must be ready to allow authorities access to those devices when presented with a warrant.
