BlackBerry Work Connect Notification Service
The BlackBerry Work Connect Notification Service is a web service responsible for providing new or changed email and
organizer notifications to iOS devices that are using Secure Work Space.
iOS devices are restricted from running applications in the background, with specific exceptions such as the default mail
application. This means Secure Work Space applications cannot receive new data such as email message notifications
unless the application is open or unless the notification comes from the APNs. The BlackBerry Work Connect Notification
Service receives notifications of new data from third-party applications such as mail servers, web servers, or other content
servers, and sends a notification through the BlackBerry Infrastructure to the APNs. The APNs can then notify the Work
Connect application on the device of the new data.

authenticationFor more information on security for BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, visit www.blackberry.com/go/serverdocs to read
BlackBerry Device Service Security Technical Overview and Secure Work Space for iOS and Android Security Note.
Data flow: Authenticating the BlackBerryDevice Service with the BlackBerryInfrastructure1. The BlackBerry Device Service sends a data packet that contains its unique SRP identifier to the BlackBerry
Infrastructure to claim the SRP identifier.
2. The BlackBerry Infrastructure sends a random challenge string to the BlackBerry Device Service.
3. The BlackBerry Device Service sends a challenge string to the BlackBerry Infrastructure.
4. The BlackBerry Infrastructure hashes the challenge string it received from the BlackBerry Device Service with the SRP
authentication key using HMAC with the SHA-1 algorithm. The BlackBerry Infrastructure sends the resulting 20-byte
value to the BlackBerry Device Service as a challenge response.
5. The BlackBerry Device Service hashes the challenge string it received from the BlackBerry Infrastructure with the SRP
authentication key, and sends the result as a challenge response to the BlackBerry Infrastructure.
6. The BlackBerry Infrastructure performs one of the following actions:
• Accepts the challenge response and sends a confirmation to the BlackBerry Device Service to complete the
authentication process and configure an authenticated SRP connection
• Rejects the challenge response
If the BlackBerry Infrastructure rejects the challenge response, the authentication process is not successful. The
BlackBerry Infrastructure and BlackBerry Device Service close the SRP connection.
If the BlackBerry Device Service uses the same SRP authentication key and SRP identifier to connect to (and then
disconnect from) the BlackBerry Infrastructure five times in one minute, the BlackBerry Infrastructure deactivates the
SRP identifier to help prevent an attacker from using the SRP identifier to create conditions for a DoS attack.
Data flow: Authenticating the Universal
Device Service with the BlackBerryInfrastructure1. The Universal Device Service connects to the BlackBerry Infrastructure and initiates a TLS connection.
2. The BlackBerry Infrastructure sends an authentication certificate to the Universal Device Service.

3. The Universal Device Service verifies that the authentication certificate is signed by a trusted authority and verifies the
name of the server in the BlackBerry Infrastructure to establish the TLS connection.
4. The Universal Device Service sends a data packet that contains its unique SRP identifier and SRP authentication key to
the BlackBerry Infrastructure.
5. The BlackBerry Infrastructure authenticates the SRP identifier and SRP authentication key. The BlackBerry
Infrastructure now only allows traffic for this instance of the Universal Device Service, uniquely identified by its SRP
identifier, to flow over the connection.

BlackBerry device data flows
Data flow: Activating a BlackBerry device
Adding and registering the user
1. In BlackBerry Management Studio, or the BlackBerry Device Service console, the administrator creates a local or a
directory user account.
Note: If creating a local user account, the account must be created in the BlackBerry Device Service console.
2. The administrator creates an activation password for the user account. The BlackBerry Administration Service stores
the activation password in the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
3. The BlackBerry Administration Service sends the email address or username information to the BlackBerry
Infrastructure to register the user account.
4. The BlackBerry Infrastructure notifies the BlackBerry Administration Service whether the account registration is
successful or not.
5. If the option to email the activation information to the user is selected, the BlackBerry Administration Service sends the
activation information to the user's email address. If the option is not selected, the administrator must communicate
the information to the user directly. The activation information includes the account information (email address ordomain\username), account activation password, and server information (SRP ID of the BlackBerry Device Service)
that the user needs to type on the BlackBerry device.
Note: If BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 is set to register activation information, the user is registered with the BlackBerry
Infrastructure, whether the device they are activating is a BlackBerry 10 device or a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet.

iOS and Android device data flows
Data flow: Activating an iOS device
Adding the user
1. In BlackBerry Management Studio, or the Universal Device Service console, the administrator creates a local or adirectory user account, and does one of the following:
• If the account is a local account, the administrator specifies an activation password (the local account
password cannot be used for device activation).
• If the account is a directory account, the administrator can choose whether to specify an activation password
or use the login information for the account instead. The administrator can select the option to send an
activation email to the user, assign group membership, and specify other device activation settings such as
activation expiry date and time, maximum number of activations per device, device platform and device
version.
• Optionally, the administrator assigns an activation type profile to the account.
Note: If the option to send an activation email to the user is selected, the administrator can customize the email
message to reflect company specific details.
2. The Core Module performs one of the following actions:
• If the account is a local account, the Core Module generates a hash of the user account password and stores it
along with the account information in the Management Database.

• If the account is a directory account, the Core Module accesses Microsoft Active Directory, using LDAP, to
retrieve the user account information and keeps a copy of the user account information in the Management
Database. The Scheduler and Management Database periodically retrieve this information and keep it current.
3. If the option to send an activation email was selected, the Core Module generates the activation email and sends it to
the user using the SMTP settings configured by the administrator. The email message describes how to obtain the
BES10 Client from the App Store and additional information the user needs to enter on the client, such as the domainname and SRP ID, the username, and the activation password for the user account if one was specified.
Starting the activation process
1. The user installs the BES10 Client on the iOS device. After launching the BES10 client, the user is prompted to enter
the URL provided by the administrator (which consists of the BlackBerry Infrastructure URL followed by the SRP ID of
