India seeks Canada's help in tracking BlackBerry users

| March 13, 2008

According to a news report from The Times, the Indian government is asking Canada for help in intercepting messages sent via BlackBerries in India.  This comes after the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs refused to grant further licences to BlackBerry operators in India, giving them to the end of the month to explain how they route users' e-mails.  India's security officials are concerned about their ability to intercept messages on the encrypted system, which routes messages to servers outside India.
