OmertaCall PGP key
What the portal is
The OmertaCall law-enforcement portal at lea.omertacall.com is a separate system from this website, operated for verified public authorities. It is the preferred route for submitting and managing requests concerning OmertaCall services: standard legal process, preservation requests and emergency disclosure. Each matter receives a case reference, and our responses and any disclosure are recorded against it.
A portal account is not a legal requirement. The same requests can be submitted by email as described in the guidelines. As with email, a portal receipt is not acceptance of service and does not confirm that a request is legally sufficient.
What the portal offers
- structured submission of production, preservation and emergency requests, using the required fields from the guidelines;
- a case reference for each matter, one matter per case, with our correspondence attached to it;
- registration of your PGP public key and fingerprint, so replies and disclosures can be encrypted;
- the same legal review, scope limits and client-notification rules that apply to every OmertaCall request.
Who can apply
Accounts are issued to serving officers, prosecutors, court officials and other competent public-authority staff who need to submit legal process concerning OmertaCall services, including local police and telecom regulators. Private persons, companies, civil litigants and their representatives cannot open portal accounts; civil disclosure requires a binding court order through the channels in the guidelines. Public scam, fraud and abuse reports do not need an account and belong at [email protected].
Verification and accounts
Applications must come from an official agency address and give the applicant's full name, role, agency and a means of verifying their authority independently. We check the agency, its domain and the applicant's stated role before issuing an account, and we may ask for further credentials. Accounts are personal to the verified holder and must not be shared. We may suspend or close an account whose holder we cannot re-verify, that is used outside an official function, or when the holder leaves the agency. Possession of an account, like possession of a PGP key, does not by itself establish authority for any request.
PGP key registration
Every request must carry the requester's PGP public key, and OmertaCall communicates with law enforcement only by PGP-encrypted email. Register your public key and fingerprint when the account is issued and keep them current; include the key with every request, including resubmissions and extensions, so we can reply securely even if a case is reassigned to another officer. Unencrypted or unverifiable requests receive only an encrypted request for a verifiable key and official credentials, where a usable key is available; without one we cannot reply. While our own public key is awaiting publication, register your key and credentials first and send no sensitive case material in plaintext.
Going to the portal
Sign in at lea.omertacall.com. The portal is a separate system with its own accounts and sign-in; this website only links to it. If you cannot use the portal, submit by email to [email protected] for legal process and preservation, or [email protected] for emergencies. There is no emergency telephone line.
