New Delhi, August 08: Blackberry has made a fresh attempt to break the logjam over its services in India by offering “metadata” and relevant information to security agencies which will enable them in lawful interception but has failed to enthuse them.
According to minutes of the meeting between government officials and Canadian firm Research in Motion (RIM), makers of BlackBerry, RIM representatives explained that BlackBerry mobile device sends the encrypted email which is sent to BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) located with the service provider.
BES decrypts the messages and sends it to email server of the service provider where it remains stored in decrypted form. Then the message is pushed to the BlackBerry device in encrypted form.
