Mobile World Cat

We lately reported that which one of the smartphone is the president of the United States of America – Obama is going to use in White House, we though it would any other phone other than the Blackberry which met with all the specifications of NSA (National Security Agency). This mostly meant a Secure Mobile Environment Portable Electronic Device (a SME PED) which is capable to access classified networks.

Nevertheless, an encryption specialist who is familiar with Blackberry smartphones' security design as well as enterprise – administration system which support it, says GCN that the Blackberry comprises of every encryption as well as security provision which a president will require.

RIM (Research in Motion) that makes Blackberry, utilises 'Advanced Encryption Standard 256' which is the most powerful encryption method availed and one which is sanctioned for the confidential levels of the communication by National Security Agency. Every message which is sent to the Blackberry phone is broken down in to packets, all of it with distinct encryption keycode. Also if anyone wants to interrupt a message, then the keycodes are so long that it will be almost impossible to decode them and contents which are in these packets are meaningless mix up of the data unless every packets are again brought together.

In addition to this, there're more than five hundred policies which an administrator could control and which are related to how the messages are going to be sent, to or from whom and which net applications could be processes. The administrators could also arrange or delete every data on the Blackberry phone if it hasn't connected to a network within few hours.

Blackberry phone could even help the extra layers of the encryption, including the proprietary protocols like high assurance internet protocol encryptor or HAIPE which National Security Agency needs for accessing government classified SIPRnet (Secure IP Router Network).

High assurance internet protocol encryptor is just like comprises a light weighted virtual confidential network client over the smart phone. This loads up the similar encryption key over every high assurance internet protocol encryptor devices which would participate in the multiple cast session in the enhance of the data transmission, making a safe gateway which permits the parties for exchanging the data on the untrusted or inferior classification network.

SME PEDs is now availed by the 'General Dynamics C4S' and will be very soon availed from the L – 3 Communications, contain the high assurance internet protocol encryptor protocol built-in, with an capability of switching easily amongst the unclassified and classified government networks, amongst the other features.

The Blackberry built-in security is same as SME PED, however, the distinctions I the kind of the cipher, which is said by this encryption specialist.

High assurance internet protocol encryptor devise even has its own restrictions. For one, high assurance internet protocol encryptor is considered as a huge drain on the battery power, because the users of the SME PED are instantly discovering. Users have reported that they have to routinely recharge the devices after every 2 to 3 hours.

In most of the ways, Blackberry smartphones provide much more security to mobile users than others.
