Description
|
|
wireless data encryption
|
The
Chalk Pushcast Software
encrypts all communication that occurs between
BlackBerry® devices and the
BlackBerry MDS Connection Service using AES or Triple DES encryption.
|
|
SSL
|
SSL protects all data transmissions that occur between the
Chalk Pushcast Software and
BlackBerry® Enterprise Server.
|
|
Internet access
|
The
BlackBerry MDS Connection Service does not need
to provide devices with outbound access to the Internet when you install the
Chalk Pushcast Software in your organization's
environment because the
Chalk Pushcast Player connects to the
server that you installed the
Chalk Pushcast Software on.
If your organization uses a hosted installation, you can use
that to send data between the
Chalk Pushcast Player and the
Chalk Pushcast Software over the Internet. You can also
send data through the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server by
permitting outbound access for the
Chalk Pushcast Software through the
BlackBerry MDS Connection Service.
|
|
Chalk Pushcast Software access
|
BlackBerry device users that
are associated with the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server can access
the
Chalk Pushcast Software when
you install the
Chalk Pushcast Software in your organization's
environment.
Devices require a connection to your internal network when
you install the
Chalk Pushcast Software in your
organization's environment. You can establish a connection between devices and
your internal network by activating the devices on the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server and using
the
BlackBerry MDS Connection Service for the users in your organization. This provides a
secure tunnel from the wireless service provider that BlackBerry devices use to
the organization's environment.
|
|
encryption of login information
|
The
Chalk Pushcast Software
encrypts all login information using Triple DES encryption.
|
|
RSA® digital signatures
|
The web services for the
Chalk Pushcast Software use
RSA digital signatures for all web services
messages that it receives from devices.
RSA digital signatures verify that only
registered users send the web service messages.
