BlackBerry OS 7 & 7.1 Smartphones Certified for U.S. and Canadian Governments!



RIM just announced today that they have achieved FIPS 140-2 Certification for both BlackBerry OS 7 and OS 7.1. That includes the BlackBerry Bold 9900, 9930 and 9790, BlackBerry Torch 9850, 9860 and 9810, and BlackBerry Curve 9350, 9360, 9370 and 9380. They received this certification from both the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC).

Good news for RIM though it was more or less a forgone conclusion that they would receive certification for the encryption. Check out the press release below or more details at us.blackberry.com/ataglance/security

The FIPS 140-2 certification for BlackBerry 7.0 and 7.1 illustrates RIM’s continuing commitment to providing industry-leading, secure, mobile computing platforms for its customers.

This means that now, with all of the latest BlackBerry smartphones and the PlayBook tablet certified under the FIPS program, government and security-conscious customers can deploy and use the entire range of BlackBerry products with confidence.
