Security features for Chalk Pushcast Software installations

You can implement security features to protect information in hosted installations and when you install the Chalk™ Pushcast™ Software in your organization's environment.

Feature

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.
