Content Protection Strength IT policy rule
Description
This rule specifies the cryptography strength that the BlackBerry® device uses to encrypt content that it receives while it is
locked. When you specify a value, the content protection feature is turned on.
Default setting
The default setting is a null value.
Usage
Set this IT policy rule to Strong to use a 160-bit ECC public key. This key provides good security and good performance and
is adequate for most situations.
Set this IT policy rule to Stronger to use a 283-bit ECC public key. This key provides better security but slower performance
than the Strong setting.
Set this IT policy rule to Strongest to use a 571-bit ECC public key. This key provides the highest level of security but the
slowest performance of the three settings.
Dependencies
The BlackBerry device uses this IT policy rule only if the Password Required IT policy rule is set to True.
If you set this IT policy rule to Strong or Stronger, set the Minimum Password Length IT policy rule to 12 characters. If you
set the content protection strength to Strongest, instruct the user to set a password of at least 21 characters. These password
lengths maximize the encryption strength that the longer ECC keys are designed to provide.
