The Department of Telecom (DoT) had another round of discussion with Research In Motion (RIM) in a bid to find a solution to the security concerns around Blackberry services.
DoT had asked the company to come out with a solution that would enable Indian security agencies to monitor data being transmitted through Blackberry devices.
RIM has already told DoT that it cannot give the codes to the device since it has been designed in such a way that it does not allow anyone, including RIM, to know the content of any email being sent through the device.
RIM also said that setting up a local data centre in India would not help in addressing the security needs since the network design would not allow anyone to snoop into the system at any point of the transmission.
