BlackBerry security not compromised

The company is facing falling sales elsewhere as customers abandon the BlackBerry in favour of Apples iPhone and a slew of devices using Google Incs Android software,leading to RIMs shares falling by more than 50 percent over the past one year.

RIM,which has been grappling with the government for years,reiterated that it cannot provide access to its enterprise email and messaging services as the company itself does not possess the encryption keys for the same and these remain in the control of its corporate clients.

Media reports had cited a telecom department official and certain documents reviewed,which said that RIM had provided the government a solution that gave it access to corporate emails.

Research in Motion categorically denied this claim in a statement. It has more than once refuted similar claims in India over the last two years.
