For each target identity related to an interception measure, the authorized
NWO/AP/SvP operator shall assign a special Lawful Interception IDentifier (LIID),
which has been agreed between the LEA and the NWO/AP/SvP. It is used within
parameters of all HI interface ports. Using an indirect identification,
pointing to a target identity makes it easier to keep the knowledge about a
specific interception target limited within the authorized NWO/AP/SvP
operators and the handling agents at the LEA. The Lawful Interception
IDentifier LIID is a component of the CC delivery procedure and of the IRI
records. It shall be used within any information exchanged at the Handover
Interfaces HI2 and HI3 for identification and correlation purposes. The LIID
format shall consist of alphanumeric characters (or digit string for
sub-address option, see annex E). It might for example, among other
information, contain a lawful authorization reference number, and the date,
when the lawful authorization was issued. The authorized NWO/AP/SvP shall
enter for each target identity of the interception subject a unique LIID.
EXAMPLE: The interception subject has an ISDN access with three MSNs. The
