Microsoft may integrate eavesdropping in Skype

Microsoft may integrate eavesdropping in Skype

Microsoft has filed a patent that describes a “legal intercept” of VoIP communications. What does that means. Filed in December 2009, the document was created when Microsoft may have had no intentions of acquiring Skype, but the company makes clear statements that it applies to Skype and similar services.
According to the patent – and it is just an application at this point – Microsoft envisions a variety of possibilities to use “recording agents” as a way to intercept, monitor, record and store recorded calls. The agent could be placed in a router, call server, or within the network of an organization.
