BlackBerry got into troubles in many countries. UAE and Saudi Arabia already banned e-mail,web browsing and messaging features of BlackBerry smart phone in their countries. India completely banned all those BlackBerry services. But why are these countries banned blackberry ? Do you know why ??
Unlike the Apple/Nokia mobiles who uses open standards, BlackBerry uses a highly secured and proprietary data transmission mechanism. Every piece of information that leaves a BlackBerry phone is encrypted and it can only be decrypted by the BlackBerry network data center in Canada. This means that no one can actually understand the encrypted message that travel through the wireless networks and internet.
BlackBerry’s Encryption – Head Ache for Governments
BlackBerry communications are highly secured and they are used by military and government agencies for their communication. Even the president of United States, Mr. Obama uses a BlackBerry for his email communication. As there is no way for the Government Agencies to intercept the communication that happens through BlackBerry devices, they are considering this as a threat to their national security.
In fact it is!
For example anti-national elements can communicate with each other over a BlackBerry network without allowing any security agencies to intercept the communication. Not a good thing for security agencies!
For that,they warned,To get out of this issue, RIM, the manufacturer of BlackBerry mobiles, should find a way to allow every country to intercept it’s users communication that happens through BlackBerry’s.
Its a great advantage in Blackberry services.Actually we have to appreciate the company for this.But our goverment, couldn't able to find or produce anything to intercept the communication for security purposes.So they simply banned the services.
