Passwords provide a form of access control that prevents unauthorized individuals from accessing computing resources and sensitive data. Passwords may also be a source of entropy for generation of key encryption or data encryption keys. If a password is not required to access data, then this data is accessible to any adversary who obtains physical possession of the device. Requiring that a password be successfully entered before the mobile device data is unencrypted mitigates this risk. Note: MDF PP v.2.0 requires a Password Authentication Factor and requires management of its length and complexity. It leaves open whether the existence of a password is subject to management. This STIGID addresses the configuration to require a password, which is critical to the cybersecurity posture of the device. SFR ID: FIA_UAU_EXT.1.1
Checks: C-66313r3_chk

Review BlackBerry OS 10.3 configuration settings to determine if a valid password has been successfully entered before the mobile device data is unencrypted. This procedure is performed on both the BES console and on a managed mobile device. Note: If an organization has multiple configuration profiles, then the Validation procedure must be performed on the relevant configuration profiles applicable to the scope of the review. On the BES 12, do the following: 1. Log into the BES 12 console and select the "POLICIES AND PROFILES” tab at the top of the screen. 2. Expand the “IT policies” tab on the left pane. 3. Select and open each IT policy assigned to users in turn. 4. After opening the policy, select the “Setting” and “BlackBerry” tabs. 5. Scroll down to the “Password" group of IT policy rules. 6. Check "Password required for work space". On the BlackBerry device, do the following: 1. From either the Work Space or Personal Space, navigate to Settings >> BlackBerry Balance. 2. Verify "Work Password" is toggled to the right and dimmed (Not accessible). If the BES IT Policy rule "Password Required for Work Space" is not selected, or on the BlackBerry device the "Work Password" is not toggled to the right and dimmed (Not accessible) this is a finding. Note: Procedures above are for BES 12 only. BES 10 procedures may be slightly different.

Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute force attacks. The ability to crack a password is a function of how many attempts an adversary is permitted, how quickly an adversary can do each attempt, and the size of the password space. The longer the minimum length of the password is, the larger the password space. Having a too-short minimum password length significantly reduces password strength, increasing the chance of password compromise and resulting device and data compromise. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #01a

The screen lock timeout must be set to a value that helps protect the device from unauthorized access. Having a too-long timeout would increase the window of opportunity for adversaries who gain physical access to the mobile device through loss, theft, etc. Such devices are much more likely to be in an unlocked state when acquired by an adversary, thus granting immediate access to the data on the mobile device. The maximum timeout period of 15 minutes has been selected to balance functionality and security; shorter timeout periods may be appropriate depending on the risks posed to the mobile device.

The more attempts an adversary has to guess a password, the more likely the adversary will enter the correct password and gain access to resources on the device. Setting a limit on the number of attempts mitigates this risk. Setting the limit at 10 gives authorized users the ability to make a few mistakes when entering the password but still provides adequate protection against dictionary or brute force attacks on the password.

Having wireless remote access connections enabled could allow establishment of unauthorized remote access connections, which may give an adversary unintended capabilities. These remote access connections would expose the mobile device to additional risk, thereby increasing the likelihood of compromise of the confidentiality and integrity of its resident data. In this context, tethering refers to wired connections to an external device and not use of the device as a hotspot. A mobile device providing personal hotspot functionality is not considered wireless remote access if the functionality only provides access to a distribution network (such as a mobile carrier's cellular data network) and does not provide access to local applications or data.

Developer modes expose features of the BlackBerry device that are not available during standard operation. When the Development Mode is enabled on BlackBerry 10 OS devices, the user has the capability to sideload apps to either the Work Space or Personal Space. Disabling this feature removes the capability for a user to sideload apps. An adversary may leverage a vulnerability inherent in a developer mode to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of DoD-sensitive information. Disabling developer modes mitigates this risk. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #24

Many software systems automatically send diagnostic data to the manufacturer or a third party. This data enables the developers to understand real world field behavior and improve the product based on that information. Unfortunately, it can also reveal information about what DoD users are doing with the systems and what causes them to fail. An adversary embedded within the software development team or elsewhere could use the information acquired to breach BlackBerry OS 10.3 smartphone security. Disabling automatic transfer of such information mitigates this risk. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1#45

Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute-force attacks. The ability to crack a password is a function of how many attempts an adversary is permitted, how quickly an adversary can do each attempt, and the size of the password space. The longer the minimum length of the password is, the larger the password space. Having a too-short minimum password length significantly reduces password strength, increasing the chance of password compromise and resulting device and data compromise. A password is required for the Personal Space to stop access to the BlackBerry desktop by an unauthorized person. This is a mobile security best practice control. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #45
Checks: C-66375r2_chk

Review BlackBerry OS 10.3 configuration settings to determine if the BlackBerry implements the management setting: enforce the minimum password length for the Personal Space password to 4 digits. This procedure is performed on both the BES console and on a managed mobile device. Note: If an organization has multiple configuration profiles, then the check procedure must be performed on the relevant configuration profiles applicable to the scope of the review. This requirement can be enforced by two methods: Method 1: Have the user set a personal space password of at least 4 characters. Method 2: Force the Personal Space password to be the same as the Work Space password. For Method 1: On the BES 12, do the following: 1. Log into the BES 12 console and select the "POLICIES AND PROFILES” tab at the top of the screen. 2. Expand the “IT policies” tab on the left pane. 3. Select and open each IT policy assigned to users in turn. 4. After opening the policy, select the “Settings” and “BlackBerry” tabs. 5. Scroll down to the “Password” group of IT policy rules. 6. Verify "Require full device password" is selected. 7. Verify "Define work space and device password behavior" is set to "Different" or "User Choice". On the BlackBerry Device: 8. Have user unlock the BlackBerry device. 9. Verify the user enters a password of at least 4 characters. For Method 2: On the BES 12, do the following: 1. Log into the BES 12 console and select the "POLICIES AND PROFILES” tab at the top of the screen. 2. Expand the “IT policies” tab on the left pane. 3. Select and open each IT policy assigned to users in turn. 4. After opening the policy, select the “Settings” and “BlackBerry” tabs. 5. Scroll down to the “Password” group of IT policy rules. 6. Verify "Require full device password" is selected. 7. Verify "Define work space and device password behavior" is set to "Same". If the user is using a Personal Space password of less than 4 characters (for method 1) or the BES IT Policy rule "Require full device password" is not selected (for method 2), this is a finding. Note: Procedures above are for BES 12 only. BES 10 procedures may be slightly different.

Allowing movement of files and data from the personal Space to the Work Space will result in both personal data and sensitive DoD data being placed in the same space. This can potentially result in DoD data being transmitted to non-authorized recipients via personal email accounts or social applications, or transmission of malicious files to DoD accounts. Disabling this feature mitigates this risk. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #45

This configuration setting sets the amount of time the hotspot browser remains open without login. The hotspot browser could be at risk of attack by an adversary if it remains open when not being used by the handset user. It is a best practice to close the browser when not in use.System Administrator

Review the BlackBerry OS 10.3 smartphone configuration settings to determine if the BlackBerry Hotspot Browser connection closes if the user does not log into the Hotspot Browser after "15" minutes (or less). This procedure is performed on both the BES console and on a managed mobile device. Note: If an organization has multiple configuration profiles, then the check procedure must be performed on the relevant configuration profiles applicable to the scope of the review. On the BES 12, do the following: 1. Log into the BES 12 console and select the "POLICIES AND PROFILES” tab at the side of the screen. 2. Expand the "IT policies" tab on the left pane. 3. Select and open each IT policy assigned to users, in turn. 4. After opening the policy, select the “Settings” and “BlackBerry” tabs. 5. Scroll down to the “Device Functionality” group of "IT policy" rules 6. Verify "Hotspot Browser timeout " is set to "15" minutes. On the BlackBerry device: 1. From either the Work Space or Personal Space, navigate to "Settings" >> "Networks and Connections" >> "Wi-Fi", and connect to an available mobile hotspot connection. 2. Verify that all browsers are closed on the device. 3. Verify that the mobile hotspot connection disconnects after "15" minutes or less of inactivity. If the BES IT policy rule "Hotspot Browser timeout " is not set to "15" minutes or less, or if the mobile hotspot connection does not disconnect after "15" minutes or less of inactivity, this is a finding. Note: Procedures above are for BES 12 only. BES 10 procedures may be slightly different.

This configuration setting specifies whether a BlackBerry device can use preloaded trusted root certificates to establish a trusted certificate chain. If this rule is not selected, the device can use only trusted root certificates that are sent from BES12 for work connections. When not selected, the DoD will be limited in how root certificates can be deployed to BlackBerry handhelds, which may cause an operational issue.
