(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...It is really interesting that the Indian governments wants to monitor all internet traffic (for what reason we know, but we can’t understand in a “real” free democract). But more interesting is the fact that they just cannot sniff BlackBerry traffic! Guys … that’s what the BlackBerry is famous for - its security architecture. Privacy is for all!
[...] The sources said government has already asked telecom companies to make possible monitoring of content transmitted through Blackberry or stop the service as it was causing a major security breach.

However, Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) was the first to bring out difficulties being faced in monitoring data out of Blackberry as they were unable to decipher the content because of packaging of the data in encrypted form which could not be deciphered.
The encrypted data packets were sent through with the technology that were password protected with the help of “Public Key” (customer code) and “Private Key” (company code) that the packets could not be downloaded as they were password protected.
