Imagine trying to listen to a conversation, but the speakers are using a secret code that changes every second and a lock that no current key can open. This project builds a high-tech 'master key' and a digital listening post that works even with the fastest 5G networks and future quantum computers. It also creates a secure way for different police agencies to share clues about suspects without revealing private data.
Current lawful interception tools are becoming useless due to 5G networks, end-to-end encryption, and quantum cryptography. This creates a critical gap in the ability of law enforcement to detect and prevent terrorism and crime.
A suite of LI measures for cloud, network, and edge devices, including the QUDDaaS quantum decryption service and the POLEX suspect identifier exchange mechanism.
If you are a network operator dealing with outdated lawful interception interfaces that cannot handle 5G traffic — this project developed new LI measures at the cloud and network level that ensure high throughput and compliance with 3GPP/ETSI standards.
If you are a forensics firm dealing with encrypted mobile devices that cannot be cracked by traditional means — this project developed QUDDaaS, a service that uses quantum computing to unlock seized devices and decrypt communications.
If you are an agency dealing with fragmented suspect data across different borders — this project developed the POLEX mechanism to exchange pseudo-anonymized identifiers to find overlaps in suspect lists.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not mentioned, but the project is designed to ensure cost-effectiveness for the new age of lawful interception.
Yes, the project envisions a central 'POLIIICE EU-Hub' to provide QUDDaaS and POLEX as services potentially outsourced at a pan-European level.
Based on available project data, the project focuses on contributing to 3GPP/ETSI standardization and recommending EU regulation changes rather than specific commercial licenses.
The project strictly complies with privacy preserving and ethics rules of operation and provides legal guidelines for each measure.
The project period runs from 2022-10-01 to 2025-09-30, indicating the final results are expected by September 2025.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward commercial application, with 13 industry partners (48% ratio) and 3 SMEs. This strong industrial presence, combined with 4 universities and 2 research centers across 14 countries, suggests a high focus on practical implementation and standardization rather than purely theoretical research.
