A joint venture of Nokia Corp. and Siemens AG., Two large European technology firm, has been prohibited by incoming reports that Iran will use its Web tracking technology spy and censor their citizens' online activities.
Nokia Siemens Networks said on Monday that it has sold telecommunications systems, the Iranian government, but that all the built-in monitoring and voice Communications is not the Internet.
"Legal intercepts ability is purely a local call," said spokesman Ben is room Interviews. "We do not know who may be provided to other internet technologies to Iran."
The company's denial of the protest over Iran's disputed elections enter their second week, twittering amplified from the Iranian diaspora in the street and a mobile phone video shows the ongoing conflict and the apparent death of young Iranian woman named Neda.
Images and video clips from the trickling The Streets of Tehran - even those whose authenticity must never be created - the West has been electrified and demonstrated the limits of power that the government is able to prevail. As the Minister for Foreign Affairs correspondent, has put pressure on the authorities and forced to leave, the journalist advocacy groups, the country's relatively small size of the Internet pipe to the outside world provides a unique situation vilauksen The Streets.
Restriction of the Iranian Internet is secret, of course. The CNET News reported last week, Web sites, including Facebook, YouTube.com, and the BBC have been off-limits, and the government censor has been recurring reports that Twitter.com and Yahoo Messenger are also blocked. With the exception of a few hiccups, even though the Iranian authorities to the Internet has decided to pull the plug, not the associations of the rest of the world's Nations.
Source monitoring technology used by the Iranian Internet service providers will remain unresolved political issue, which could prove embarrassing for any company linked to Tehran's Western censorial times. Few have forgotten the spectacle of technology executive of Washington politicians call for Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang to hearing him, and denouncing "spineless", a Cisco business in China or are duplicated, that "through cooperation with the Chinese government" is supplying to the Internet, and routers.
The recent outbreak of the dispute, which represents the face of Article Monday Edition of The Wall Street Journal, which claimed that Iran's government has developed one of the world's most sophisticated mechanisms to control and censoring the Internet "with the help of Nokia Siemens Networks. As follows: Title:" Iran's spying on the Web aided Western Technology. "(In April, the Washington Times published a similar report, also assigned to Nokia Siemens Networks.)
But the room, Nokia Siemens Networks spokeswoman said the newspaper report was false. He said a blog post, I am afraid I was not able to explain the limited scope of the Wall Street Journal intercepts legal ability (speech only) and the rules of the ... deep packet inspection and Web filtering. "
Room Arguedas, that regardless of his guilt, even a mobile phone network in Iran's stand ready to come to a very important in spreading the word about unfolding political upheaval AMID widespread protest. "Mobile networks in Iran, and the subsequent widespread adoption of mobile phones, has allowed the Iranians with what they see and listen to the rest of the world," he said. "This is evidenced by the fact that the widespread awareness of the current situation."
Complicating the issue is the difficulty in identification technology. It is relatively easy to figure, what Web sites that are off-limits - a group of Harvard University Berkman Center for Internet & Society has made a practice of compiling such lists - but many, it is difficult to know what hardware or software, which is used to monitor Internet links .
Screened real work we are able to verify the functionality, "said Rob Faris, research director for the Berkman Center. "It is almost impossible to document the monitoring of the same level of confidence."
With regard to the blocking of the web, the Berkman Center, said a report compiled in 2005, that Iran is using Secure Computing's SmartFilter. It quoted the company's CEO, John McNulty, they say: "We have been aware of ISPs in Iran making illegal and unauthorized attempts to use our software. Secure Computing actively taking a step to stop the illegal use of our products."
McAfee Secure Computing now owns and sells the McAfee software SmartFilter. Description of the product boasts is "to ensure the repository has more than 25 million blockable Web sites over more than 90 categories."
"We have never seen direct evidence or hard proof that Iran has never been used or any of the McAfee Secure Computing Product," McAfee said an e-mail on Monday. "McAfee meets all applicable laws and export their products. Rigorous due diligence was conducted prior to the acquisition of Secure Computing, and did not show a contract that is being provided in support of Iran, or Iran."

Recent reports indicate that Iran's Internet service providers have developed or adapted to its Web filtering technology, but shed little light on the question of surveillance.A a joint venture of Nokia Corp. and Siemens AG, two major European technology company, has denied that it uses web technology to the monitoring reports to spy and the censorship of its citizens' activities online.
Nokia Siemens Networks said Monday sales of telecommunications systems is that the Iranian government, but there is no basis for the technology to monitor the voice and Communications did not have the Internet.
"The ability to trap local law is only the voice," No room spokesman said in an interview. "We do not know who may be laid down to go to other Internet technologies."
