Even as things seem to be heading to reach towards resolution of the issue, the security concerns and subsequent controversy over RIM’s Blackberry services in India refuse to die down. Now RIM has demanded that DoT should seek encryption code from four other mobile email solution providers in the country. The four players include Nokia, Microsoft, Motorola and Seven Networks.

RIM has reportedly stated to DoT in its presentation that focusing on DoT alone will not solve the concerns pertaining to encryption codes used for mobile email services.

RIM also said that there are numerous technologies used in India to secure mobile email data and named Web browser, WAO 2.0 mobile browser software, IIPSec VPN, PGP and SMIME as examples. It claimed that these services also used encryption codes similar to Blackberry.

Last week reports suggested that the DoT has issued an ultimatum to RIM to find a resolution to the controversy. Subsequently RIM had stated that it is confident of coming up with an amicable solution to address the security concerns. But this development once again puts a question mark on the likelihood of the issue being resolved soon.
