Prohibition for Blackberry in Certain Countries For Their Encrypted Messages
According to researches conducted by Saudi Communication and Information Technology Commission messages which are sent or received from Unlocked Blackberry phones are supposedly encrypted in such a way that the UAE government couldn’t decipher and eavesdrop on the phone users. Only one Blackberry enterprise is the standard in all markets. This Blackberry enterprise solution was initially designed to elude all third parties like RIM and many others. These third parties cannot under any circumstances whatsoever have access to the encrypted data neither can they store it. This shows Blackberry enterprise solutions have immense confidence in the security systems developed by them and will no way compromise.
Due to this obnoxious behaviour, UAE publicly announced that they were going to ban Blackberry service for browsing BBM and emails from October. Some countries in the Middle East like Kuwait are not completely banning Blackberry enterprises but they are improving RIM in order to block around 3,000 porn sites to be accessed by users. RIM has a reputation of complying with regulatory requirements and provides utmost security to their mobile phone users. This action was taken since among the adolescences whose first handset would be sometimes a Blackberry, were fond to indulge in porn websites hence strict action had to be taken by the government.
RIM is known to have spent almost ten years in developing strong security architecture to comply with the governments strict security requirements. This is the reason why RIM is the first choice for many enterprises and governments since RIM unlike Blackberry was ready to alter their security systems for the welfare of the government. Research in Motion had asked all enterprises to block adult sites until the end of this year and RIM supposedly issued a statement saying that their system cannot eavesdrop on Blackberry’s messages. So the Blackberry’s banned for now.
