Method for activation of at least one further eavesdropping measure in at least one communication network
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- activating at least one further eavesdropping measure in at least one switching node in a packet-switched and/or cell-switched communication network, comprising a plurality of switching nodes, for the purpose of eavesdropping on at least one data link which exists between two communication subscribers, the individual switching nodes in the communication network having respective associated unique identifiers, and in which at least one of the two communication subscribers is identified as the communication subscriber for eavesdropping by at least one eavesdropping measure, wherein the activating comprises;
respectively assigning the switching nodes, provided for activating the at least one further eavesdropping measure that is in addition to the at least one eavesdropping measure, at least one activation database which has the identifiers of the switching nodes enabled for activating further eavesdropping measures; and
activating the further eavesdropping measure in the switching node only if there is a match between the identifier of the switching node for eavesdropping and at least one identifier contained in the activation database.

Abstract
In a packet-switching and/or cell-switching communication network which comprises a plurality of switching nodes and in which the individual switching nodes in the communication network are each allocated a unique identification, eavesdropping measures are provided in order to eavesdrop on at least one data link that has been formed between two communication subscribers, in which case one of the two communication subscribers is identified by means of at least one eavesdropping measure as a communication subscriber to be eavesdropped on. The switching nodes which are intended for activation of eavesdropping measures are each allocated at least one activation database which has the identifications of the switching nodes which are enabled for activation of further eavesdropping measures. In this case, a further eavesdropping measure is activated in the switching node to be eavesdropped on only if the identification of the switching node to be eavesdropped on matches at least one identification which is contained in the activation database.

16. An apparatus comprising:
-
an initiator configured to initiate a first eavesdropping measure; a selector configured to select a switching node to implement a further eavesdropping measure that is in addition to the first eavesdropping measure; a comparator configured to compare the identifier of the selected switching node with identifiers contained in an associated activation database; and an activator configured to activate the further eavesdropping measure if there is a match between the identifier of the selected switching node and at least one of the identifiers contained in the associated activation database. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A method comprising:
-
initiating a first eavesdropping measure; selecting a switching node to implement a further eavesdropping measure that is in addition to the first eavesdropping measure; comparing the identifier of the selected switching node with identifiers contained in an associated activation database; and activating the further eavesdropping measure if there is a match between the identifier of the selected switching node and at least one of the identifiers contained in the associated activation database. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27)

28. An apparatus comprising:
-
initiating means for initiating a first eavesdropping measure; selecting means for selecting a switching node to implement a further eavesdropping measure that is in addition to the first eavesdropping measure; comparing means for comparing the identifier of the selected switching node with identifiers contained in an associated activation database; and activating means for activating the further eavesdropping measure if there is a match between the identifier of the selected switching node and at least one of the identifiers contained in the associated activation database.
