[AusNOG] Data Retention Metadata Survey

[Paul Wilkins]

Here are the main takeaways from the poll (52 responses).

1 - Only 25% of respondents somewhat agreed that the security agencies need
wider powers, while 63% either strongly or somewhat disagreed.

2 - 89% of respondents saw the need to capture source IPs as part of a
workable data retention scheme. Support of metadata at higher levels of
abstraction quickly dissipates for most applications, with the exception of
VOIP called numbers, which 40% of respondents saw as necessary.

3 - 76% of respondents strongly agreed that the Data Retention Bill will
increase the use of encryption and VPNs. 76% of respondents strongly agreed
that general adoption of VPNs and encryption would defeat the intent of the
Data Retention Bill.

4 - 64% of respondents felt that expenditure would be better directed
towards increased funding of the security agencies.

5 - 34% of respondents felt that expenditure would be better directed
towards improving ISP infrastructure, both for policing source address at
the carrier of origin, and for improved legal intercept capabilities.
