More trouble for Blackberry and its customers. The Pakistani authorities have ordered local ISPs to block access to BlackBerry services connection used by embassies and international organizations. The measure, for now, does not apply to citizens. Pakistan opposed in 2005 at the entrance of BlackBerry in the country, particularly in the corporate messaging service that runs with strong encryption.
So was not implemented as blocking, reports Reuters. This service is in the crosshairs of several countries claiming national security reasons to require the manufacturer of BlackBerry, Canada's RIM, which allows its censorship by local authorities. In some of these countries, RIM has opened to trace messaging authorities but not the corporate general because, he claims, a strong system of protection is not in your hands if no client companies seeking thus to ensure the confidentiality of data.
Last week, RIM announced the Government of India could not provide such access or even installing servers in that country. "There is no solution. There is no decryption key for business messages," said one manager of the company. The key is in the hands of companies that use the service.
In Indonesia, RIM has blocked access to pornographic sites. In Saudi Arabia, RIM negotiated the installation of a server so that local authorities have access to tracking messaging, but the problem persists encrypted communications.
