New Delhi: The security agencies are able to access the telecom services including Blackberry through the lawful interception and Monitoring facilities provided by the Telecom Service Provider. However, Security Agencies have intimated that they are not able to decrypt some of encrypted communication to a readable format.
A technical committee established by the Government analysed all these issues in order to work out an appropriate solution to the problem which balances the requirements of Security Agencies with the secured communication needs of trade, commerce and industry. The complexities involved in the issue resulted in committee being unable to come out with unanimous conclusive recommendations. Therefore the report of the committee and the comments of some of the members on the Report were referred to a high level pane of experts who have since submitted their final recommendations on a focused and practical approach to the entire issue which has been forwarded to Ministry of Human Affairs (MHA) which are being examined by Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).
This reply was given by Shri Milin Deora, the minister of State in the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology in response to a question in Lok Sabha.
