Abstract

This disclosure relates generally to methods and systems for minimizing privacy intrusion during internet of things lawful interception. In one embodiment, a topology of probes system for providing lawful interception information for an internet of things network is provided. The topology of probes system may comprise a super-probe connected to a lawful interception gateway by a set of LI-interfaces and a hierarchy of probes connected to the super-probe. Further, the super-probe and the hierarchy-of-probes may be configured to perform LI operation according to one or more privacy requirement settings and to provide lawful interception information collected by the LI operation. Additionally, the privacy requirement settings may comprise rules that govern at least one of: content-based data exposure, prevention of access of information by predetermined users, and obfuscation of predetermined information.
