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.
TLS options
Permit SSL 3.0 Specify whether your browser accepts SSL connections. If you do not select this option, your browser allows only
TLS connections.
Encryption Strength Specify whether your browser only accepts and sends data that is encrypted using 128-bit encryption. To accept
and send only data that is encrypted using 128-bit encryption, change 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.
Digest Strength 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 browsing experience is. To accept data
with weak digest algorithms, change this field to 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 change this option.
