RIM's Encryption 'Too Secure' For Indian Government's Taste

climenole writes "Research in Motion, the creator of the widely used enterprise-cum-consumer BlackBerry device, has an uncertain position in India. The Indian government's internal security and intelligence services cannot break the encryption of the device, which makes countering terror threats and national security matters difficult — especially for a region which faces constant threats and attacks from domestic Maoist insurgents and extremist Islamic groups." Does it make you wonder how much safer everyone would be if parkas, mailing envelopes, cash, and superglue were all evaluated on the same basis?

so no matter what, "those" people will always exist. how could you be so sure unless you were one of "those" people yourself?

if you can't trust the law, and encryption can be hacked, then what point does that insurance serve?
