Browsing

Your BlackBerry® device uses SSL encryption to create a highly secure connection to shopping web sites and banking web sites. SSL is the
standard encryption protocol that is used in many online banking transactions, ecommerce transactions, and other wireless transactions on
mobile devices and computers. Using a highly secure connection helps to protect you against identity theft and unauthorized use of your
financial data.
You can determine whether SSL encryption is helping to protect data that you send or receive using the BlackBerry Browser. When your
connection uses SSL encryption, a closed lock icon appears in the upper-right corner of the browser screen. When your connection does not
use SSL encryption, an open lock icon appears.

Email messages and instant messages

Email messages and instant messages that are sent between the BlackBerry® Internet Service and your BlackBerry device use the security
features of the wireless network. Messages that are sent between your messaging server and the BlackBerry Internet Service are automatically
encrypted if the server supports SSL encryption.

Attachments

Your BlackBerry® device does not run applications that you receive as attachments in email messages. The BlackBerry® Internet Service
processes attachments and renders them in a format that is designed to protect you from potentially damaging attachment code such as
macros.
To protect the received attachments that your BlackBerry device stores, you can turn on the content protection feature.

BlackBerry device firewall

You can set up the built-in firewall on your BlackBerry® device to block incoming SMS text messages and PIN messages, both of which are not
encrypted. If your messaging servers support SSL encryption, you can make sure that you only receive messages that are protected by SSL
encryption on your BlackBerry device by blocking incoming SMS text messages and PIN messages.
