Confidentiality. Integrity. Authentication. Non-repudiation. BlackBerry® Enterprise Solution with the S/MIME Support Package* increases the already high level of security provided by the BlackBerry® solution. It incorporates device and desktop software components and BlackBerry® Enterprise Server Client Access Licenses (CALs) to provide organizations with extended security features such as:
- Certificate and private key management tools – Users can store their private key and their contacts' public keys on their BlackBerry smartphone and synchronize certificates and keys when they connect their device to their PC.
- Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) support – BlackBerry Enterprise Solution with the S/MIME Support Package works with popular PKIs, including Entrust® PKI versions 5 and 6, Verisign® and Netscape®.
- Wireless support for certificate lookup and validation – Obtain certificates from Windows® certificate stores, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) certificate servers, a secure LAN location or a Common Access Card (CAC) SmartCard. Organizations can also verify certificate status wirelessly via Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) and Certificate Revocation List (CRL) servers.
- Support for encrypting and decrypting PIN and email messages – Users can experience all of the benefits of sending and receiving S/MIME messages from their BlackBerry smartphone while they’re on the go.
BlackBerry Enterprise Solution with the S/MIME Support Package provides added confidentiality and further protects the integrity and privacy of messages. Organizations that deploy Java® enabled BlackBerry smartphones with the S/MIME Support Package benefit from an additional layer of security and end-to-end authentication.
