Comments on: RIM, India, in Blackberry ’spy’ talks http://www.p2pnet.net/story/16089 p2pnet.net - reader powered Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:11:09 -0300 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: RT http://www.p2pnet.net/story/16089/comment-page-1#comment-499663 RT Fri, 30 May 2008 13:21:10 +0000 http://www.p2pnet.net/story/16089#comment-499663 You know, just once I'd love to see someone write this story accurately. The only people who have gotten it right are RIM in their last press release. Even Gartner has no clue. It's not because the servers are in Canada, it's because the tech doesn't friggin work that way! BlackBerry uses a private key exchange - half the key is generated at the BlackBerry device, the other is generated at the friggin BlackBerry server which the company is in possession of. They make an exchange of keys either by a direct USB/ local area network connection or over the air using AES256 encapsulation. RIM has no friggin way to see the friggin packets and see the friggin key. They have NO HAND IN THE KEY GENERATION. All they see is the email address, BlackBerry device & BlackBerry server IP address/license. That's it. Nothing else. PERIOD! If the Indian govt wants to be a bunch of backward morons, knock yourselves out but do it on your own time. Welcome to the 21st century.
