Military Programming Act: Operators Involved in Detecting Pirates

To combat cyberattacks, the law of military programming plans to go through the telecom operators to inject probes provided by the Anssi to facilitate the recovery of traces left by pirates.

 Telecom operators may soon have a new role to play in the fight against cyber attacks. The new military programming bill plans to use ISPs to exploit probes (metadata, IP addresses ...) under the supervision of Anssi (National Agency for Information Systems Security) for facilitate the tracing and reporting of information in cases of piracy and cyberattacks.

Operators will be given a new ability to look for these markers in their feeds to report them to Anssi, while they were not allowed to inspect their feeds until now, with their role stopping at to make them transit.

In an attempt to counter the criticism of operators' interventionism in their flows in contradiction with the Neutrality of the Net, the law of military programming foresees that the Arcep (national regulator of telecommunications) will supervise the requests of the Anssi and that only the technical elements, but not the communications themselves, will be available to agents.

Moreover, the law of programming wants to allow the Anssi to place sensors and detection tools on the servers of the hosts used to carry out a cyberattack, which was also not possible until now. Such measures would only be temporary but would not require the approval of a judge so as not to alert the persons concerned too early.
