Till now encryption is an unresolved
enigma in India. For some strange reasons, encryption is a
feared
technology in India. India is increasingly looking forward
for concepts like e-governance,
e-commerce, m-commerce, mobile
governance, mobile
banking, cloud computing, etc. However, we do not have
legal
enablement of ICT systems in India. Further, we do not
have a cyber
security policy of India.
The Information Technology Amendment Act 2008 (IT
Act 2008) incorporated a single provision in the form of Section 84A
for Encryption Purposes, informs Praveen Dalal, leading techno legal
expert of India and Managing Partner of Perry4Law.
Although the provision became applicable since 27th October 2009 yet
Indian Government has slept over the issue, says Dalal. Indian
Government must urgently formulate a Dedicated Encryption Policy of
India, suggests Dalal.
