SPEAK.
>>> NOW THEN, THIS IS
INTERESTING, BLACKBERRY, THEY'RE
INTRODUCING A NEW LAYER OF
SECURITY THEY SAY WOULD BE
IMMUNE TO QUANTUM COMPUTING
HACKING, WHATEVER THAT IS.
JOINING US JOHN CHEN,
BLACKBERRY'S CEO.
WELCOME TO THE PROGRAM, JOHN.
>> THANK YOU, STUART.
NICE TO SEE YOU.
STUART: ARE YOU TELLING ME
YOU'RE INTRODUCING A LEVEL OF
PRIVACY THAT NO ONE ELSE CAN
OFFER?
>> WELL, THAT IS GOING TO BE,
I'M SURE THERE IS SOME, NSA BASE
AGENTS OUT THERE THAT KNOW HOW
TO DO THESE THINGS BUT, YES, IN
GENERAL ON THE COMMERCIALLY
AVAILABLE SOLUTIONS THIS HAS GOT
TO BE THE TOP OF THE LINE.
STUART: HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS?
>> WELL, BLACKBERRY HAS ALWAYS
BEEN KNOWN FOR SECURITY,
PRIVACY, SO FORTH, SO FORTH.
SO WE OWN A COMPANY CALLED
SERTICOM WHICH IS THE NUMBER
CRYPTOLOGY COMPANY IN THE WORLD
FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.
THIS IS A LITTLE-KNOWN FACT.
THE PROBLEM WITH OUR MARKETING
STUFF.
RECENTLY WE HAVE BEEN WORKING
WITH A QUANTUM COMPUTING
COMPANY, QUANTUM COMPUTING CAN
HACK ANY ENCRYPTED CODE.
IS THERE A WAY TO CREATE A
LIBRARY OR RECOGNIZE THE FACT
YOU'RE BEING QUANTUM HACKED.
I'M CREATING A TERM ON FOX.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER --
STUART: QUANTUM HACKED.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THAT IS
EVEN TRUE.
THE POINT IS TO PREVENT CAN TUM
COMPUTING TO HACK YOUR, TO HACK
YOUR ENCRYPTION CODE SO, THIS IS
WHAT THE LIBRARY WILL RELEASE,
PROBABLY WILL BE IN NOVEMBER
THIS YEAR.
STUART: OKAY.
PRODUCER, PUT BACK THE SCRIPT
PLEASE.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE I GOT
THIS -- THANK YOU.
I HAVE TO READ THIS BECAUSE I
DON'T UNDERSTAND ALL OF THIS.
WHAT ABOUT APPS?
IS MY FACEBOOK APP, YOU CAN READ
THE QUESTION, IF YOU LIKE, IT IS
ON THE PROMPTER, IS MY FACEBOOK
APP MORE SECURE ON A BLACKBERRY
THAN ON A SOME SUNG GALAXY OR
iPHONE?
>> DATA YOU TRANSMIT IS MORE
SECURE ON A BLACKBERRY.
THE APPS WE DON'T DO.
STUART: OKAY, ARE YOU SAYING
THAT THE DATA YOU TRANSMIT IS
UNHACKABLE?
>> NO.
IT IS MORE SECURE.
THOSE ARE TWO LEVEL THINGS.
I'M SORRY TO MAKE IT SO
CONFUSING, I DON'T WANT TO GET A
LETTER FROM FACEBOOK YOU SEE.
STUART: YOU PROBABLY WILL.
>> ANYWAY, WE ARE SOMETHING
GOING ON ANY WAY --
STUART: I BET YOU DO.
YOU WANT TO TELL US ABOUT IT?
>> NO.
I WILL NOT COMMENT.
THE POINT BEING THAT BECAUSE THE
WAY WE TRANSPORT ENCRYPTED DATA
AND BECAUSE THE FACT WE DON'T
KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR DATA WE
DON'T MONETIZE DATA.
THERE IS ONE DIFFERENT THING
ABOUT BLACKBERRY VERSUS
EVERYBODY ELSE.
WE ACTUALLY, OUR JOB IS TO
TRANSPORT YOUR STUFF SAFELY AND
SECURELY.
AND PRIVATELY.
STUART: YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING
ELSE?
>> DON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE.
THAT'S IT.
SO OTHER PEOPLE GIVE YOU FREE
STUFF AND THEN BUT, LIKE, ONE OF
MY COLLEAGUES SAID EARLIER BUT
YOU ARE THE PRODUCT, YOU JUST
DON'T KNOW THAT.
STUART: OKAY BUT YOU DON'T SELL
THE INFORMATION SO --
>> WE DON'T COLLECT, SELL,
ANALYZE.
WE DON'T DO ANYTHING OF THOSE
THINGS.
STUART: THAT IS YOUR PRINCIPLE
MARKETING POINT OR ONE OF THEM.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
STUART: THAT IS A BIG MARKETING
POINT FOR BLACK PER AS WE STAND.
>> BANKS, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT,
HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS USES
US.
STUART: I USED TO HAVE A
BLACKBERRY.
I LOVE THAT THING.
TEXT WITH TWO THUMBS.
ASHLEY: KEYBOARD WAS FABULOUS.
>> LOT OF PEOPLE COULD DO IT
LIKE THINK, I COULD.
I WAS REALLY GOOD AT IT.
>> I GAVE MY COLLEAGUE MY PHONE.
STUART: YOU'RE MAKING NEWS FOR
ME NOW.
IT MIGHT COME BACK?
>> WELL, I MEAN YOU NEVER KNOW.
I LICENSED THE TECHNOLOGY.
YOU KNOW, WHEN I GET OUT OF THE
PHONE BUSINESS MAKING THE PHONE,
I NEVER SAID, EVER, THAT I WOULD
NEVER HAVE A PHONE.
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND WHAT WE'RE
DOING RIGHT NOW, I THINK IN MY
MIND IS PRETTY SMART BECAUSE I
THINK -- I WON'T BE DOING IT.
BUT THE POINT IS I AM LICENSING
IT TO A NUMBER OF PARTNERS
AROUND THE WORLD IN INDIA,
INDONESIA, AND IN CHINA AND
WE'RE LICENSING THE SOFTWARE
TECHNOLOGIES TO PROVIDE USER
INTERFACES, THE KEYBOARDS, THE
POWER SUPPLY AND EVERYTHING
ELSE.
WE ARE LICENSING ALL THESE
TECHNOLOGIES SO THEY ARE MAKING
BLACKBERRY BRAND PHONE.
WE'RE JUST DOING THE
QUALIFICATION.
SO THEREFORE THE MORE PHONE THAT
THEY MAKE AND MORE PHONE THEY
MAKE WITH THE KEYBOARDS YOU WILL
BE ABLE TO GET THAT BACK.
THE LATEST KEYBOARD, THE LATEST
ONE IS KEYBOARD PHONE, PHYSICAL
KEYBOARD PHONE.
STUART: KEYBOARD PHONE?
NO CALLED KEY II.
STUART: THIS SECURITY THING
YOU'RE ANNOUNCING FIRST TIME ON
THE PROGRAM HERE?
>> YES THE, QUANTUM.
STUART: THIS PROGRAM?
>> THIS PROGRAM.
STUART: WE LIKE THAT.
ANY GOOD, JOHN, WE DO APPRECIATE
IT.
