Research In Motion (RIM) and PGP Corporation are working together to allow BlackBerry users to send and receive PGP-secured email. The new PGP Support Package developed for BlackBerry is expected to be available later this year.
This solution enables enterprises to extend PGP email security to individuals who use both laptop / desktop computers and BlackBerry wireless devices. It provides customers with sender-to-recipient email security, and thereby complements the industry-leading wireless transmission security and device protection security inherent in the BlackBerry architecture. Licenses will be available exclusively from PGP Corporation and its authorized resellers.
"BlackBerry has continuously led the industry in wireless security and we are pleased to be the first to offer PGP Universal support on wireless devices," said Mark Guibert, Vice President, Corporate Marketing at Research In Motion. "We believe this news will be welcomed by many enterprise customers who have chosen and deployed PGP technology."
"BlackBerry is the overwhelming leader for enterprise mobile messaging. By providing an integrated PGP Universal and BlackBerry solution, we address a strategic requirement of our joint customers," said Phillip Dunkelberger, chief executive officer and president of PGP Corporation. "RIM and PGP Corporation have worked closely to integrate our products and provide a seamless end-user experience."
Product Capabilities
The PGP Support Package for BlackBerry is designed to work in conjunction with the PGP Universal Server solution. PGP support is fully integrated in the BlackBerry user interface and provides email encryption, decryption, digital signature and verification services for email sent from and received on BlackBerry devices.
Users simply authenticate themselves with their private key passphrase before decrypting or signing email on their BlackBerry device. Outgoing messages are automatically protected according to the centralized policy specified by the PGP Universal administrator. PGP Universal utilizes patented PGP Additional Decryption Key (ADK) capabilities, automated key management and recovery, and automated enrollment and centralized policy management.
The PGP Support Package for BlackBerry will be distributed exclusively by PGP Corporation through its 175 resellers. Product availability is expected later this year.

UIQ Technology today released the first public version of the Software Development Kit (SDK) for UIQ 3, its latest version of the software platform, based on Symbian OS. At the same time, Sony Ericsson today announced its latest contribution to the smartphone evolution, the Sony Ericsson P990, which will be the first UIQ 3 based mobile phone coming to market. Software developers around the world can now start creating new, innovative applications for the next generation smartphone.
The recently launched UIQ 3 platform is an open software platform, based on Symbian OS, allowing developers to potentially target all UIQ 3 based phones from different manufacturers, using one single codeline. Applications will automatically receive the look and feel of the device they run on without the need for the developer to write extra code for it. Updates and bug fixes will be identical for all target platforms, and only one code update is needed to propagate it to all UIQ 3 based handsets. Developers will benefit from shorter time-to-market since code written for UIQ 3 will be identical through all handsets, unless device specific features have been used.
Manufacturer specific extensions and application programming interfaces (API’s) can be added to UIQ 3, allowing developers to take advantage of special features, to optimize their applications for specific phones in order to improve interaction and to use the full potential of the phone.
The Sony Ericsson P990 is the first smartphone to utilize the new UIQ 3 platform. Built on Symbian OS v9.1, the P990 is based on the same proven concept and recognizable form factor as previous Sony Ericsson smartphones, allowing developers to create powerful, touch screen-based applications in C++, or in Java for both flip open and flip closed modes. UIQ 3 is a flexible software platform that provides a unique opportunity for code-reuse in application development.
Developers are encouraged to register with the new UIQ Developer Program, also announced today, at developer.uiq.com to find more detailed documentation such as a getting started tutorial and participate in the first UIQ 3 discussion forum. On October 26, 2005, the first public beta release of the UIQ 3 SDK will be available for download from the UIQ Developer Program portal.
Sony Ericsson specific extensions and beta API’s will be available from Sony Ericsson Developer World at www.sonyericsson.com/developer during Q4 2005. The extension package will include the Sony Ericsson specific Vibration API and Bluetooth Keyboard API as well as emulator components such as fonts and skins.
