About TLS
The browser is designed to use TLS or SSL to encrypt data that your BlackBerry® smartphone sends or receives over the
Internet through the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server. Communication between your smartphone 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 smartphone and the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server and use Triple DES encryption for all other communication between your smartphone and the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

If you change a browser security option, other applications on your BlackBerry® smartphone that access a server might be
affected.
