BBM Enterprise (abbreviated as BBMe) is a centralized instant messaging client provided by Canadian company BlackBerry Limited. BBMe is marketed as a secure messenger with end-to-end encryption.[1]
BBMe was launched in 2014 originally as BBM Protected,[2] [3] based on a revamped version of BBM (BlackBerry Messenger), the company's consumer-oriented instant messenger. Initially offered only for enterprise customers, BBMe was opened up to all customers in 2019 after the shutting down of the older consumer BBM service.[4] [5] [6] [7]
From the client to server, messages in BBMe are encrypted using TLS.[8] Each message has its own random encryption public and private key.[3] It uses a FIPS 140-2 certified cryptographic library for generating the keys.[2] [8] According to BlackBerry Ltd., BBMe complies with the following standards:[9]
- Digital signature FIPS 186-4
- AES symmetric encryption standard FIPS 197
- HMAC standard FIPS 198-1 based on based on SHA2-256
- Cryptographic key generation standard NIST SP 800-133
- Secure Hash standard FIPS 180-4
In addition, it makes use of EC-SPEKE, KDF and One-Pass DH (all National Institute of Standards and Technology algorithm standards) with "256-bit equivalent security".[9]
The service consists of group chats, voice and video calls.[10] Unlike its predecessor, BBMe is not entirely free, lasting for a year before costing 2ドル.49 for six months.[11]
On 1 May 2024, BBMe for Personal Use users were notified of their service's discontinuation effective 1 Nov 2024.
