A possible solution to end the stalemate between BlackBerry and the government over security issues is in the offing as smart-phone manufacturer RIM has submitted a plan for real time interception which is being tested in the Department of Telecom.

The government had set August 15 as the deadline for Canada8217;s Research In Motion RIM to provide the country8217;s security agencies with the interception keys to enable real -time tracking of its popular BlackBerry messenger and corporate email services in readable format.

While expressing ignorance on the technical details,Home Minister P Chidambaram said,8221;I think they security agencies have been given a solution which is being tested now in the DoT.

8220;If that solution proves to be successful,then we will ask a similar solution from all services providers.8221;

Besides Blackberry,Nokia is another service provider which provides push mail facility to its subscriber.

When asked whether the solution had been provided by RIM,Chidambaram said,8221;I think so,that BlackBerry has given a solution which is being tested.8221;
