Millions of BlackBerry subscribers faced disruption services, even as the smartphone manufacturer, Research In Motion, assured its customers of resolving the glitch soon.
So far, much of the information sent through telecom and web services has been inaccessible to the government because it involves an encryption and decryption process.
Government officials said that RIM recently handed over the solution to BlackBerry Enterprise Service but that framework is yet to be certified by the Intelligence Bureau.
The government has fixed March 31 as deadline for all telecom operators to submit plans for interception of their services, including popular BlackBerry Enterprise Service (BES) of Research in Motion (RIM), by security agencies.
The RIM said the ban would be futile as anyone who wanted to misuse encrypted technology would shift to any other numerous and freely available options.
The Home Ministry on Monday gave reprieve to Canada’s Research in Motion (RIM) on providing premium BlackBerry tools but decided ‘in principle’ to bring in other Internet-based services like Google, Skype.
With only four days left for a solution to intercept BlackBerry services, Canada’s Research In Motion on Friday submitted yet another detailed proposal to the home ministry on lawful interception of BlackBerry Enterprise Services.
