BlackBerry to give ''metadata''; security agencies not enthused
PTI | 03:08 PM,Aug 08,2010RIM had said in a statement earlier that "We told the service providers in categorical terms that the government will allow them to offer those services which could be intercepted by the security agencies. If any service is not allowed to be intercepted, we will not allow them to run such services." While expressing its inability to share access, RIM had said yesterday that the security architecture for its enterprise customers is based on a symmetric key system whereby the customers create their own key and only they possess the copy of the encryption. RIM, which operates in 175 countries, said, "While RIM does not disclose confidential discussions that take place with any government, RIM assures its customers that it is committed to delivering highly secure and innovative products that satisfy the needs of both customers and governments." Recently, the UAE and Saudi Arabia barred the BlackBerry services due to security risks.
