Bangalore: Indian government claimed that it has found a way to monitor BlackBerry corporate emails without asking Research In Motion for codes to unlock encrypted messages. This could help remove a deadlock with the Canadian company.

Indian government has been asking RIM for access to Blackberry emails so that it can monitor them to ensure national security. Along with Indonesia and some other countries, India has in the past even threatened to shut down the company’s services because of the difficulties that law enforcement officials face in accessing e-mails of suspected criminals and terrorists.

RIM said that its email system for corporations is so secure that it does not have access and it won't give special deals to individual governments. Although it has offered in the past to supply “metadata" – information about an email's sender, recipient and the device from which it was sent, which can be used to track down emails on companies' servers.
