Builds on: Telecom (Part 3): IPDR and Lawful Interception
From IP Address to Person
Readiness training. LEA.Training does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
A log shows an IP address. A provider gives a name for it. It is easy to stop there and say "this person did it". That step is where cases go wrong.
Focus: an IP address points to a connection at a time. It does not name a person. This unit shows each link from address to person, and where each can break. It is general knowledge. It is not legal advice.
Learning objectives
- Explain why an IP address needs an exact time, a time zone and often a port.
- Describe how shared addresses, shared Wi-Fi and VPNs weaken the link to one person.
- State the limits of a location database and a registry record.
- Explain what a network can still see when traffic is encrypted.
