BlackBerry Smart Card Reader supported algorithms
Algorithm type Algorithm
elliptic curve
(default)
• 571-bit Koblitz Curve (EC571K1)
• 521-bit Random Curve (EC521R1)
• 283-bit Koblitz Curve (EC283K1)
• 256-bit Random Curve (EC256R1)
• 160-bit Random Curve (EC160R1)
The initial key establishment protocol is designed to negotiate to use the 521-bit Random Curve
(EC521R1) algorithm unless the BlackBerry® device or the computer requires a different
algorithm.
encryption
• AES-256 (default)
• AES-128
The initial key establishment protocol is designed to negotiate to use the AES-256 algorithm
unless the BlackBerry device or the computer requires a different algorithm.
hash
• SHA-512
• SHA-256
• SHA-1
The initial key establishment protocol is designed to negotiate to use SHA-512 or SHA-256
algorithm unless the BlackBerry device or the computer requires a different algorithm.
