TLS Minimum Strong DSA Key Length IT policy rule
Description
This rule specifies the minimum DSA key size (in bits) to use over TLS connections. The permitted range is 512 through 1024 bits.
Default value
The default value on a BlackBerry® device is 1024 bits.
The default value on the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server is 512 bits.
Usage
If you configure the minimum key size on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to be higher than the minimum key size on the
BlackBerry device, the BlackBerry device continues to prompt the user to trust every secure web site that uses a key size in its
certificate that is less than the minimum key size on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
For example, when a user browses to a secure web site that uses a 512-bit DSA key in its certificate, the BlackBerry device prompts
the user to trust the web site. If the user trusts the web site and selects the Don't Ask Again option, the minimum key size on the
BlackBerry device is configured to 512 bits. If you configure the minimum key size on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to 1024
bits, the BlackBerry device continues to prompt the user to trust every secure web site that uses a key size in its certificate that
is less than 1024 bits.
