BlackBerry Enterprise Solution Security
Protecting stored data 22
The first time that a user opens the Password Keeper on the BlackBerry device, they must create the Password
Keeper master password. The Password Keeper encrypts the information (for example, application and web site
passwords and data) that it stores using 256-bit AES, and uses the master password to decrypt the information
when a user types the master password to gain access to the Password Keeper tool. The BlackBerry device
automatically deletes all of its data if a user types the Password Keeper master password incorrectly ten times.
In the Password Keeper, a user can
• type a password and its identifying information (for example, which application the user can access using
the password) and save the information
• generate random passwords designed to improve password strength
• copy passwords to the clipboard to be pasted into an application or web site password prompt
Protected storage of user data on a locked BlackBerry device
BlackBerry device content is always protected with the 256-bit AES encryption algorithm. Content protection of
user data is designed to
• use 256-bit AES to encrypt stored data when the BlackBerry device is locked
• use an ECC public key to encrypt data that the BlackBerry device receives when it is locked
When you or a user turns on content protection on the BlackBerry device, the BlackBerry device uses content
protection to encrypt the following user data items:
