All data transmitted between a BlackBerry Enterprise Server and BlackBerry
smartphones is encrypted with a highly secure AES or Triple DES algorithm.
Unique private encryption keys are generated in a secure, two-way authenticated
environment and are assigned to each BlackBerry smartphone user. Even more, to
secure information stored on BlackBerry smartphones, password authentication can
be made mandatory through the policies of a BlackBerry Enterprise Server
(default, password authentication is limited to ten attempts, after which the
smartphone’s wiped clean with all its contents erased). Local encryption of all
data, including messages, address book and calendar entries, memos and tasks, is

system administrators can create and send wireless commands to remotely change
BlackBerry device passwords, lock or delete information from lost or stolen
BlackBerries.


Russian software developer ElcomSoft, which, with its Russian competitor
AccentSoft, has developed effective password-cracking programs for most common
desktop encryption formats, is at it again. Now, it’s targeted the BlackBerry
with a Phone Password Breaker that was previously limited to Apple mobile
devices.
