@rtk: im not implying anything, makes me smile reading the local papers again this morning.
There's a report that UAE wants the code to decrypt the encrypted messages of BlackBerry phones, as UAE authorities heard India National Security Bureau received the code already. Did the Indians really received the code?! Mr Leif-Olof Walling, a Gartner researcher, claimed the report was erroneous on the part of India's Economic Times newspaper. Makes me smile as they wont believe RIM people don't have the codes of the encrypted messages either.
This looks funny as nobody can decrypt a single encrypted message using 3DES or RSA or RC4 which was designed for TSL/SSL, even if we use the whole planets processing power in 1,000 years. decrypting those things means decrypting the security of banks, financial institutions etc.
But hey, they want the code for security reasons! lol
