In a similar move to what the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government did, Indian senior government officials have placed hurdles in relation to the requirements needed for encrypted enterprise information transfer.
RIM the maker of Blackberry’s has been assured, by the Indian government, that lawful access requirement for communication services will be applicable nationwide and will also affect other mobile handset makes such as Nokia, Samsung, Apple, HTC, Motorola, LG, Sony Ericsson and Google Android, that also sell their products in the Indian marketplace.
Blackberry uses BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server), BIS (Blackberry Internet Service), and BBM (Blackberry Messenger) software to deliver information between networks and across different worldwide platforms. This information flow is encrypted and proprietary to RIM. The Indian government wants the ability to intercept and decipher these communications, but RIM which is based in Canada claims that it is not possible to grant full access.
India gave RIM until Jan 31st, 2011 to meet the new government standard of providing lawful interception of these highly encrypted consumer services. RIM in a company statement has said that it has provided the Indian government with a solution that can intercept and decipher BBM and BIS messages. It has yet to provide a solution for BES.
As always we will keep you posted here on Unlockology.com.
