BlackBerry Mobile
Data System
device software
The BlackBerry MDS uses the following device software to run BlackBerry MDS
Applications on the device:
• The BlackBerry MDS Runtime™ provides runtime services for applications that are
developed with BlackBerry MDS Studio. Users must download the BlackBerry MDS
Runtime to use BlackBerry MDS Studio applications on their BlackBerry devices. To
download the BlackBerry MDS Runtime, visit http://www.blackberry.com.
• The BlackBerry Java Virtual Machine™ (BlackBerry JVM) provides a secure
environment on BlackBerry devices for running custom Java™ applications that are
created with the BlackBerry Java Development Environment (JDE).
• The BlackBerry Browser enables access to web-based applications and supports
Internet standards, such as HTML, Wireless Markup Language (WML), Common
Gateway Interface (CGI), Microsoft® Active Server Pages (ASP), and JavaServer
Pages™ (JSP). The BlackBerry Browser is included with the BlackBerry Enterprise
Solution and runs on top of the BlackBerry JVM.
Mobilizing enterprise systems
The BlackBerry MDS Services simplify wireless application development by making the complexities of wireless
networking transparent to application developers. The connection service provides the connection between the
corporate environment and BlackBerry devices on multiple wireless networks; BlackBerry devices appear as
clients on the corporate LAN.
Wireless extensibility of corporate data
The connection service supports standard protocols, such as HTTP, to provide access to existing web and
application servers. Application developers can use standard enterprise programming, such as Microsoft .NET
and Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE), to enable both push-based and pull-based access to a wide range
of corporate systems and databases, while using existing back-end architectures.
Application development and management features
Feature Description
Corporate
connectivity
The connection service provides access to corporate web and application servers, including
web services, using standard protocols, such as HTTP, HTTPS, and Simple Object Access
Protocol (SOAP).
Security
• Communication between BlackBerry devices and the BlackBerry Enterprise Server in
the corporate network is encrypted using Triple Data Encryption Standard (DES) or
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). This encrypted communication channel is
available for BlackBerry MDS Browser Applications, BlackBerry MDS Java applications,
and BlackBerry MDS Studio applications.
• If the web service has access to a Certificate Authority (CA), messages between
BlackBerry MDS Studio applications and web services also encrypt data using Rivest
Shamir Adleman (RSA) or Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) keys, which provide two-
factor authentication.
