Enforcing encryption of internal and external file systems on BlackBerry devices

•

external file encryption by encrypting specific files on the external memory device using AES

Note: The external file system encryption does not apply to files that the BlackBerry device user manually

transfers to external memory (for example, from a USB mass storage device).

•

access control to objects on the external memory device using code signing with 1024-bit RSA

The external memory device stores encrypted copies of the file keys that the BlackBerry device is designed to use

to decrypt and encrypt files on the external memory device. The BlackBerry device is designed to use a randomly

generated device key stored in the NV store in BlackBerry device RAM, the BlackBerry device password, or both

to encrypt the external memory file keys.

Setting the external memory encryption level

The administrator can use the External File System Encryption Level IT policy rule to enforce a minimum level of

encryption for the external file system. If the IT policy rule is set, the BlackBerry device user can set the

encryption mode to any encryption level stronger than the minimum.

Turning on external memory encryption

When the BlackBerry device user stores a file in external memory for the first time after the BlackBerry Enterprise

Server administrator turns on or the BlackBerry device user turns on mass storage mode, the BlackBerry

device decrypts the external memory file encryption key and uses it to automatically encrypt the stored file.

Transferring encrypted media files

The user can connect the BlackBerry device to the computer to transfer files between the device and the

computer, or use Bluetooth® technology to send media files to or receive media files from a Bluetooth enabled

device.

Turning on the mass storage mode option on the BlackBerry device allows the user to transfer files quickly over a

USB connection between the media card and the computer without using the media manager tool of the

BlackBerry Desktop Manager. When the user transfers files to the media card using mass storage mode, the

device does not encrypt the transferred files using mass storage mode even if the BlackBerry device is set to

encrypt files stored on the media card. If the user transfers encrypted files from the media card using mass

storage mode, the computer cannot decrypt the transferred files using mass storage mode.

Moving the media card to a different BlackBerry device

If the user removes the media card from the BlackBerry device and places it in a new BlackBerry device, the new

BlackBerry device cannot decrypt any files that the first BlackBerry device encrypted on the media card using a

randomly generated device key. If the first BlackBerry device encrypted the files on the media card using the

BlackBerry device password, when the user removes the media card from the BlackBerry device and places it in a

new BlackBerry device, the new BlackBerry device prompts the user for the password used on the first BlackBerry

device to access the files on the new device.

Description

The BlackBerry device uses a randomly generated device key to encrypt the

external file system to encrypt the external file system.

The BlackBerry device uses the BlackBerry device password to encrypt the

external file system. Turning on this option turns on the password prompt on

the BlackBerry device automatically. The BlackBerry device then requires the

user to set a BlackBerry device password if one does not exist already.

The BlackBerry device uses the randomly generated device key and the

BlackBerry device password to encrypt the external file system. Turning on

this option requires the user to set a BlackBerry device password if one does

not exist already.
