BlackBerry sticks to its guns

Telecom operators may have given compliance reports on upgrading their networks to intercept BlackBerry services, but the maker of the handsets, Research In Motion (RIM), has asserted there is 'no change' to its security architecture, which is the same around the world, reports Hindustan Times.

"No security architecture for BlackBerry Enterprise Server customers since, contrary to any rumours, the security architecture is the same around the world and RIM truly has no ability to provide its customers' encryption keys," the BlackBerry-maker said in a statement.

The Canada-based company made it clear that its security systems are still cutting edge by saying, "RIM maintains a consistent global standard for lawful access requirements that does not include special deals for specific countries."
