Embodiment Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Caveat When operated in FIPS mode
Description The BlackBerry crypto firmware v2.1, common to both the BlackBerry 850/857 and the BlackBerry 950/957, securely compresses and encrypts messages with Triple-DES. Following this procedure, the ciphertext is transmitted over the Internet to the recipient mail server. Upon receiving the message, the mail server decrypts and decompresses the ciphertext back to the original plaintext. The BlackBerry crypto firmware is messaging-system independent.

Automated analysis

Automated inference - use with caution

All attributes shown in this section (e.g., links between certificates, products, vendors, and known CVEs) are generated by automated heuristics and have not been reviewed by humans. These methods can produce false positives or false negatives and should not be treated as definitive without independent verification. This applies equally to the Cross-references section below. If you want to know more about how this data is computed and how reliable it is, see our documentation on automated analysis. If you believe any information here is inaccurate or harmful, please submit feedback.

No automatically derived data are available in this section.
