1 Scope of application

This document is the Annex 2 to the ordinance of the FDJP of [day month] 2017 on the conduct of the surveillance of post and telecommunications (VD-ÜPF).

As set forth in article 25 of the VD-ÜPF, it defines the technical requirements for the delivery networks between the Communication Service Providers (CSP) and the processing system (LEMF, Verarbeitungssystem) of the Post and Telecommunications Surveillance Service (PTS Service) for information requests and their answers, interception warrants and orders, results of real-time and retroactive interceptions as well as results of emergency paging and tracing. It also covers the attachment requirements per handover point for CSPs.

Furthermore, based on the VD-ÜPF and its annexes, the PTS Service bilaterally draws up confidential connection agreements with each CSP containing details that are not public, such as the physical handover points, the network addresses, the access points, the responsibilities, the contact details, the service levels and the detailed diagrams of the delivery networks as well as the access arrangements (24/7) to the premises of the PTS Service for CSPs using colocation for direct connection.

The reason for separating such information into several documents lies in their different life cycles and the confidential nature of certain information as well as the specific features of the interfaces. The VD-ÜPF and its annexes are in the public domain. Confidential information must therefore be drafted separately in documents accessible only to the relevant parties.
