Verizon Wireless understands that securing federal government communications is a top priority. Our Network infrastructure, strengthened by the technology and deployment, is very secure. We extend that priority into our products and services.
Verizon Wireless employs Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology that scrambles voice and data information, encrypts signaling messages, and authenticates devices to the Verizon Wireless network to hinder unauthorized users from capturing and deciphering wireless messages.
Verizon Wireless offers Wireless Sync and BlackBerry® email solutions that comply with the levels of Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) Publication 140 from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to protect sensitive but unclassified information. Additionally, Verizon Wireless has Type 1 secure wireless voice communication devices, such as QSec®-2700*, for specific Government personnel and agencies approved by the National Security Agency (NSA).
Verizon Wireless also offers the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader or Common Access Card (CAC) Reader that enables controlled access to BlackBerry devices using Bluetooth technology and advanced AES-256 encryption. With S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions), the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader allows government personnel to meet operational requirements for using two-factor authentication by wirelessly signing and encrypting e-mail messages between senders and recipients.
