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

Posted by timothy on from the nsa-smiles-and-nods-politely dept.

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?

    Am I really the first to point this out? The proper word there is "cum", not "come". Come on, people! Latin!

    Try Fox News.

    It's fair and balanced, with none of reality's liberal bias.
