ODS's side of the story: http://www.ods.com/news/121698.shtml
They call it "CryptoWatch"
*shudder*
<snip>
"A breakthrough technique, called Stream Recovery, resolves the
conflicting requirements between a customer's need for complete privacy
and their occasional need to diagnose communication problems, or to allow
law enforcement to build prosecution files against criminal employees.
Key recovery schemes and the recently proposed "Private Doorbell"
initiatives have been strongly criticized by experts because they are
not designed to selectively unlock messages of suspected criminals. ODS
Networks primary objective was to release a monitoring capability in
CryptoWatch that protects the rights of innocent third parties in a
criminal investigation. CryptoWatch has the ability to filter out
individual computer conversations rather than exposing an entire data
stream in a VPN implementation. Stream Recovery also logs and copies the
data to a separate device for storage. This stops any attempt by law
enforcement or internal network managers who try to access data outside
their "need to know" boundaries."
