About TLS
The BlackBerry® Browser configuration is designed to use TLS or SSL to encrypt data that your device sends or receives over the Internet
through the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server. Communication between your device and the BlackBerry Enterprise Server is encrypted using Triple
DES. Communication between the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and content servers is encrypted using SSL or TLS. To increase security, you
can set up TLS for HTTP connections between your device and the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and use Triple DES encryption for all other
communication between your device and the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

this field to Strong Only. To accept and send data that is encrypted using 128-bit encryption
or 56-bit encryption, change this field to Allow Weak.
Specify whether your browser accepts data with weak digest algorithms or accepts only data
with strong digest algorithms. The stronger the digest algorithm is, the more secure your

Allow Weak. To accept only data with strong digest algorithms, change this field to Strong
Only. To be prompted to accept data with weak digest algorithms, change this field to
Prompt. Depending on the options that your administrator sets, you might not be able to
