New videos show how BlackBerry's upcoming premium BBM Protected chat app enhances encryption for chats with a random key for every individual message.

BlackBerry, the renowned smartphone maker, revealed plans to launch a secure messaging platform called BBM Protected for users in February but no details were made available about its workings. But in the tech world nothing stays under the wraps for long and courtesy CrackBerry, new videos demonstrating the enhanced security of BBM Protected have surfaced online.

The news publication that closely watches BlackBerry and related services, said the new BBM app will be far better than the standard version in terms of security. The report highlights that the eBBM or the BBM Protected will feature Suite B encryption, the type which is a minimum requirement for classified communications for the US government.

Based on the videos, CB says that BBM Protected will be based on "scrambling" encryption key, which means each message sent using the chat app will be protected with a random encryption code. Usually, all conversations carried out using private server-based chat apps like BBM and iMessage are coded with a single code. Though, they offer better security than other apps, the hackers can gain access to the entire conversation if they get past the encryption.

However, in case of BBM Protected, which uses unique codes for each individual message, hackers can only get access to one message at a time and it can take years to crack a single conversation.

BlackBerry announced eBBM suite earlier in February this year. The Canadian smartphone giant also revealed that BBM Protected and eBBM Suite will launch this summer for BBOS devices running version 6+ and personal phones running BlackBerry Balance will have to wait it out until early fall. BBM Protected will also make its way to Android and iOS, but it won't happen until November this year, alongside the launch of company's BES12.

The videos that show the live demonstration of BBM Protected are embedded below directly from CrackBerry's YouTube account.
