Content Protection Strength IT policy rule
Description |
This rule specifies the cryptographic strength that a BlackBerry device uses for content protection of data that it receives when it is locked. When you specify a value for this rule, content protection is turned on. If you set this rule to Strong, the device uses a 160-bit ECC public key. If you set this rule to Stronger, the device uses a 283-bit ECC public key. If you set this rule to Strongest, the device uses a 571-bit ECC public key. For devices that are running BlackBerry Device Software 5.0 and later with onboard device memory, this rule also encrypts the onboard device memory using the BlackBerry device user password and a device-generated key. Media files in the onboard device memory are not encrypted unless you set the Encryption on On-Board Device Memory Media Files IT policy rule. For devices that are running BlackBerry Device Software 4.7 and earlier, you can configure the External File System Encryption Level IT policy rule to encrypt media files on the media card. |
