BlackBerry Giving Encryption Keys to Indian Government
RIM encrypts e-mail between BlackBerry devices and the server the server with 236-bit AES encryption. The Indian government doesn't like this at all; they want to snoop on the data.

After months of threats, it looks like RIM is giving in to Indian demands and handing over the encryption keys.
