Acronyms in the area of signal intelligence, interception and related issues
Active Surveillance
Active Surveillance is usually based on a tool integrated in a communication devices that actively diverts the telecommunication to intercept it.
COMINT
Communication Intelligence: is a Military/Intelligence Termin for any technical interception way to obtain Data from Telecommunication.
DR
Data Retention: Recording of all telecommunication traffic data (who calls who when and from where) but not call content.
LI
Lawful Interception: is an Euphemism for build-in Interception capabilities in compliance with legal framework regulating this. Trouble: This type of legal framework doesn't exist in some countries and what is "Lawful" is defined by a single person aka the head of the government
Passive Surveillance
Passive Surveillance is a non-intrusive (non-intervening) way of intercepting telecommunication from a physical or logical connection. In digital environments it is impossible to detect, while on the physical layer there might be minimal chances to identify a "tap"
SIGINT
Signals Intelligence: is a Military/Intelligence Term for all kinds of _TECHNICAL_ Interception ways (passive, active, through build-in or external technical measures) not limited to COMINT (communications intelligence) which is a subcategory of SIGINT
