This document summarizes a presentation given by Maximilian Schubert from ISPA (Internet Service Providers Association) in Austria. Some key points:
- ISPA represents around 200 Austrian internet service providers. It works to shape the legal and economic framework for internet growth in Austria.
- ISPA established Stopline.at, an internet hotline for reporting child pornography and Nazi content. Reports are handled anonymously.
- Regarding the EU data retention directive, ISPA helped develop a secure interface called DLS to exchange retained traffic data between ISPs and law enforcement in a way that prevents data mining.
- Future challenges for ISPs include issues around intermediary liability, international agreements like ACTA
The increase and persistence of this
trend has created a tremendous data growth which risks congesting cellular
networks.
This application note discusses the impact of network congestion and how
Operators can overcome it.
The document discusses strategies that telecom companies in the EU are using to retain customers in today's competitive markets. These include enhancing quality of service, offering bundled service packages, improving customer care especially for new customers, and tailoring mobile and fixed data offers to different customer needs. It also notes the challenges of strong retail competition, ex-ante wholesale regulation, and network/platform convergence. Traffic growth from internet video and apps is driving changes but also reducing out-of-bundle revenues for telecoms.

The infrastructural challenge - The case for laws and regulationsEmilioGarciaGarcia
This document discusses Spain's approach to developing e-government infrastructure and services. It summarizes that Spain established laws, regulations, frameworks, and shared platforms to coordinate e-government efforts across different levels of government. This included defining citizen rights, institutions for cooperation, and technical standards to facilitate interoperability and efficient usage of resources. By establishing both "soft" infrastructure like legal agreements and "hard" infrastructure like shared platforms and services, Spain was able to successfully implement many e-government initiatives despite a fragmented environment among national, regional, and local governments.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

ISPA helped to scope an interface (DLS) which
facilitates the secure and transparent exchange of
information (CSV-File), while providing a high level of
security and transparency.
DLS could provide information on the
total number of requests for
information!
13. Data Retention in Austria
- Summary -
The Good
• Legal definition of “dynamic”-IP-Adr
• High degree of security through DLS
The Bad
• Very incoherent legal framework & numerous delays
The Ugly
• No requirements for judicial decree & no minimum
sentence required for most important cases (e.g. IP-Adr.)
• Incomplete statistics
14. Overview
About ISPA
Implementation Data Retention Directive
Official Requests for Information by LEA
Outlook & Future Challenges
15. Cooperation with LEA:
continuous improvement
• Numerous and lengthy legal disputes concerning “dynamic
IP-addresses” within last couple of years.
• Reference by the Austrian Supreme Court (OGH) to the
European Court of Justice on this matter
• Clarification through adaption of the Austrian
Telecommunications Act §92 Par 3 Z 16 TKG
ISPA position paper and sample answers provide
guidance for ISPs and LEAs.
16. ISPA supports members and LEAs
• formal requirements (e.g. request in writing)
• substantial requirements (within 48hrs, continuing danger)
17. Requests for information under
Austrian Law – legal environment
• Requests for information can be
based on different legal grounds
- Telecommunications Act 2003 (TKG)
- Security Police Act (SPG)
- Criminal Procedure Act (StPO)
- eCommerce Act (eCommG)
- Federal Act Against Unfair Competition (UWG)

Outlook & Future Challenges
19. Future challenges for ISPs
- Intermediary Liability -
Directive 2000/31/EC 'Directive on electronic commerce'
Article 14
Hosting
1. Where an information society service is provided that consists of the storage of
information provided by a recipient of the service, Member States shall ensure
that the service provider is not liable for the information stored at the
request of a recipient of the service, on condition that:
(a) the provider does not have actual knowledge of illegal activity or information and,
as regards claims for damages, is not aware of facts or circumstances from
which the illegal activity or information is apparent; or
(b) the provider, upon obtaining such knowledge or awareness, acts expeditiously
to remove or to disable access to the information.
20. Future challenges for ISPs
- ACTA et al -
Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement - ACTA [3.12.2011]
Art 27
ENFORCEMENT IN THE DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT
2. Further to paragraph 1, each Party’s enforcement procedures shall apply to
infringement of copyright or related rights over digital networks, which may
include the unlawful use of means of widespread distribution for infringing
purposes. These procedures shall be implemented in a manner that avoids the
creation of barriers to legitimate activity, including electronic commerce, and,
consistent with that Party’s law, preserves fundamental principles such as
freedom of expression, fair process, and privacy.1
1Forinstance, without prejudice to a Party’s law, adopting or maintaining a
regime providing for limitations on the liability of, or on the remedies available
against, online service providers while preserving the legitimate interests of right
holder.
24. Future challenges for ISPs
● Continuous improvement of awareness
about the safe use of the Internet
(e.g. Stopline.at, saferinternet.at)
● Efforts to reduce legal uncertainty as to the
liability of ISPs for illegal conduct by their
customers
● Contribution to the discussion on copyright and
its enforcement

29. Explanation: NAT/PAT
Even after the implementation of the data retention Directive in
Austria ISPs are not under the obligation to store internal IP: 10.xxx.xx1
NAT (internal
IP addresses) and PAT (Port) information, as such information
also had not been stored before the implementation.
