Heh - would have to total all that up... sigh... but it still works!

It needs a specific key. A BES connection is secured by a key-pair that is generated when the BlackBerry is added to the BES. This allows for the 3DES encryption to occur for all communications over the BES connection.

The situation you're talking about applies to BIS where any handset can decrypt the encrypted messages.

This mis-understanding of the differences between BIS and BES lead to a lot of FUD unfortunately.

And you know Apple is keeping an eye on this... cuz India will be coming after them too for access to their iMessage comms, if they have not already done so.

Please, the BES keys have not been handed over... because they can't be...

Meh. It is what it is.

I thought this crap ended at noon?
