BlackBerry maker, Research in Motion, has said it would allow Indian security agencies only to do legal monitoring of data of its subscribers. The Canada-based Research In Motion (RIM) said in a statement in Toronto that the only time it allows carriers to access the data sent via BlackBerry devices is in the case of national security situations, and even then, only as governed by the country's judicial oversight and rules of law. The company said that it maintains a consistent global standard for lawful access requirements that does not include special deals for specific countries.Meanwhile, India has threatened to shut down BlackBerry e-mail and instant messaging services by August 31, unless RIM grantedsecurity agencies the technology to decrypt BlackBerrycommunications, citing national security concerns. New Delhi wants access in a readable format to encrypted BlackBerry communication, on grounds it could be used by militants. The decision was taken following a high level meeting chaired by the Home Secretary G.K.Pillai in New Delhi on Thursday. The meeting was convened following (RIM)’s refusal to allow monitoring of the mobile phone encrypted services. Officials from the Intelligence Bureau, National Technical Research Organisation, BSNL and Department of Telecommunications and the Home Ministry officials attended the meeting. There are an estimated one million BlackBerry subscribers in the country. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) was the first country to propose a block on the devices, saying they posed a national security risk in their ability to send messages and e-mail without the authorities having the ability to monitor the communications.
