Question

Why BlackBerry are the most secure smartphone?

Answer 1

1 Email sent to your BlackBerry via BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) is encrypted using an end-to-end protocol that is completely independent of the public certificate authority system.Attackers with access to the mobile phone network and legitimately signed subordinate CAs can pretty easily intercept all of your ActiveSync mail sent to your iOS and Android devices.  This is not possible with BlackBerry mail.  In theory, even RIM itself cannot break into communications between your phone and BES server after provisioning, which is the root of their disagreements with the UAE and India.

 

2 BES provides a much greater granularity to their security controls than is available on iOS and Android, although this gap is closing thanks to the efforts of MDM vendors and companies like 3LM (company).

 

3 "Classic" BlackBerry applications are written in Java against the J2ME APIs, which greatly reduces the attack surface against the operating system compared to iOS and Android.

 

4 RIM tightly integrates their hardware and software encryption mechanisms to provide a level of data protection on a lost device that is currently unavailable on iOS and Android.

Answer 2

Simply put, since blackberry positioned themselves as a business corporate phone, the invested thier R&D more on the security of the software and data rather than other personal or liesure functionalities.  That is why most people or the market itself find the brand boring and dull.
