Discussion question 3
On 26 March 2015 Australia's controversial
Telecommunications
(Interception and Access) Amendment (Data Retention) Bill 2015,
was passed into law by the Australian Parliament.
With reference to the ISO/OSI reference model of computer networking,
data from which layers is retained under this Bill?
 |
Consider mobile phones as providing an obvious case-study -
the information collected will include:
- who (actually, which device, a phone number or SIM card number)
is calling who (another device);
- what time was the call started, and finished;
- how many bytes of data was transfered;
- BUT NOT the words of the conversation itself.
