The Australian Federal Police (AFP) has used its submission to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security’s (PJCIS) Inquiry into Australia’s encryption laws to ask for its involvement to be reduced from an approval role to one of coordination.
Under the new laws rushed through Parliament in December, Australian government agencies will be able to issue three kinds of notices:
Technical Assistance Notices (TAN), which are compulsory notices for a communication provider to use an interception capability they already have;Technical Capability Notices (TCN), which are compulsory notices for a communication provider to build a new interception capability, so that it can meet subsequent Technical Assistance Notices; andTechnical Assistance Requests (TAR), which are voluntary requests to use existing capabilities, but have been described by experts as the most dangerous of all.
