[e-privacy] US.gov funds VoIP tracking research

[pinna]

The US government is to fund research into how to trace IP telephony
calls (...) to develop surveillance tools that can pinpoint the
destination of a VoIP call even if it passes through an anonymizing
service

The technique (...) involves inserting tracer packets in the IP
communications of a subject under surveillance and might itself be
vulnerable to counter-measures
